Yomim Noraim - תשובה ותורה series  - audio #4

חז"ל tell us that לימוד התורה brings to a כפרה as does a מקוה, ליבון, מעיין, קרבן, ואש

Why does it compare torah to all these different items?

Is there any specific difference in the כפרה of each of these items?

Enjoy!

Yomim Noraim - תשובה ותורה series  - audio #3

Why does ה' disregard and cover, "בכסא", our עבירות?

Yomim Noraim - תשובה ותורה series  - audio #1

What is the relationship between תורה and תשובה?

Is תורה a prerequisite for תשובה, or is לימוד התורה a form of תשובה?  Or maybe the result of תשובה can be attained through לימוד התורה.  Or maybe there are two forms of תשובה and one of those forms is primarily through לימוד התורה.

Is לימוד התורה a better form of תשובה or just different?

Can I have one without the other? If not, how do they complement each other?

תא שמע as we discover how our לימוד התורה is possibly the most important part of our עבודת ימים נוראים.

Enjoy!!

Iyun Hatorah Series - #8   (Second audio in the בין המצרים series)

Is the purpose in תורה in order to be able to be מקיים מצות properly, or is there a purpose to לימוד התורה  even if it is not למעשה (i.e. עבד עברי,שדה אחוזה, בתי ערי חומה)?

What is the difference between לשם שמים and לשמה?

Is there an ענין  of עמילות בתורה if I can figure out the סוגיא  with my feet up "chilling" on a shtickel from ר' אהרן?

Listen to this audio that sets out two distinct forms of לימוד התורה, and which one was missing that gave way to the חורבן הבית.

Enjoy!!

How can it be that the destruction of the בית המקדש happened because "שלא ברכו בתורה תחילה". Isn't the חיוב only דרבנן??

Is it really possible that כלל ישראל didn't make a ברכת התורה??

What is the reason that this is considered such a tremendous shortcoming that warrants such a tremendous עונש?

Listen to the 4 options that ר'ירוחם אלשין suggests in understanding this גמרא. The assumption being that maybe שלא ברכו בתורה תחילה is a symptom of a much greater issue.

Enjoy!!

Why is kavod hatorah a condition to מצות limud hatorah?

What's better, to talk about learning or to ACTUALLY LEARN!!!

What is the purpose of these audios and why do we think it is valuable enough to dedicate 5-10 minutes a week listening. Listen to this audio and decide for yourself.

Enjoy!!

Have a GREAT Yom Tov!!

Multiple choice question.    What is a "מקום תורה"?    A- A place where people learn.    B- a place where there are תלמידי חכמים that know torah.    C- an adirei hatorah event.

Why is learning all night ליל שבועות, a tikkun for כלל ישראל oversleeping on the night before קבלת התורה.

Listen to this מאמר from ר'ירוחם אולשין where he develops the idea that answer C is the correct answer. Enjoy!!
