  • Tehilim 27 REDUX: Hashem Ori v'Yishi (Part 2)

    Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

    Length: 1 hour 4 minutes
    Synopsis: This evening (9/13/23), in our  Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we continued our REDUX analysis of Tehilim 27 as explained by R' Elia di Nola. After reviewing our updated translation and the questions, we focused on the two main themes which R' Elia presents in his introduction and we attempted to unify the perek and justify the pivot. We managed to come up with a few good approaches. After that, we read through R' Elia's commentary again - this time in English - the goal of refining our theory and understanding as many of the particulars as possible. We weren't able to fully grasp the second half, but we mad a valiant effort. I'm not planning on revisiting this again next week, barring some MAJOR chidush.

    If you prefer a slower and more organic analysis, I recommend checking out the three-part shiur on this perek from September 2022 - especially Part 3.

  • Selichos - a Shiur from the Kuntress

    Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

    Length: 1 hour 11 minutes
    Synopsis: Last night (9/9/23), at 11:30pm - roughly an hour and a half before the first night of selichos for us Ashkenazim - I gave over one of my favorite short shiur write-ups from L'Mikdach u'l'Michroz b'Mishneh Torah le'ha'Ramba (a.k.a. The Kuntress). The shiur delves into the nature of selichos and how to reap their intended benefits.

    Note: because I gave this shiur so late at night, I feel that I must apologize for the lower level of clarity in the responses I gave to the questions that were asked.

  • Tehilim 27 REDUX: Hashem Ori v'Yishi (Part 1)

    Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

    Length: 1 hour 10 minutes
    Synopsis: This evening (9/6/23), in our first Wednesday night Tehilim shiur of the 2023-2024 season, we decided to revisit the same perek we learned in Elul of last year - this time, through one of my new favorite commentators whose name nobody will have heard of: R' Elia di Nola, student of the Sforno. Because we learned the perek so recently, we deviated from our usual procedure. We relied on the translation and questions from last time, and we didn't attempt to figure out the main idea on our own, but instead, we jumped right into the commentary. We read and translated the whole thing and set up the main questions, which we'll attempt to answer next time.

    If you prefer a slower and more organic analysis, I recommend checking out the three-part shiur on this perek from September 2022.

  • Two MAJOR Professional/Life Updates for the 2023-2024 Academic Year

    Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

    Length of audio: 47 minutes
    Synopsis: Have you been what I'll be up to this coming year?  Have you heard me allude to a MAJOR update that I said I'd announce about my professional life in the near future? Are you aware of one of these updates, but not the other? Well, if none of this interests you, then by all means, feel free to skip this. But if you are at all curious about my exciting plans for 2023-2024, then here is the FULL story. I intended to make this short, but failed miserably because there's just so much to update you on! If you want a tl;dr or a teaser, here it is:

    Update #1 (0:00 - 26:00): I will be switching from full-time rebbi and administrator at YBT to part-time rebbi in order to explore and expand my own Torah content creation horizons.

    Update #2 (26:00 - end): I will be returning to the high school classroom … sort of!

  • Tehilim 15: Hashem, Who Can Sojourn in Your Tent (Part 3)

    Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

    Length: 1 hour 7 minutes
    Synopsis: This evening (6/7/23), in our last Wednesday night Tehilim shiur of the season, we attempted to "land the plane" for Tehilim 15, despite the vision-obscuring wildfire smoke. (To be honest, I'm not even sure whether I'm speaking in metaphor anymore!) Instead of continuing in the Radak, we switched to the Meiri. With Hashem's help, we were able to develop a solid theory, which we applied to several of the pesukim. Although we didn't have time to finish the perek, I'm reasonably certain that this approach is viable. If you succeed in applying this to the rest of the perek, please share the fruits of your labor!

    And with that, our Wednesday Night Tehilim/Tefilah shiur is done for the season! I've learned quite a lot, and my tefilah has definitely leveled up. I look forward to resuming in the fall, בג"ה!

  • Tehilim 15: Hashem, Who Can Sojourn in Your Tent (Part 2)

    Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

    Length: 1 hour 3 minutes
    Synopsis: This evening (5/31/23), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we continued learning Chapter 15 - but since it's been two full weeks, we (read: I) forgot everything! We began by reviewing, then outlining two approaches - the Meiri and the Radak - and then "voting" on the Radak. We began learning through his commentary on each pasuk, trying to build a full picture. It began really well, but got more difficult as we went on. Next time is our last Tehilim shiur of the year, so we'll have to trust in Hashem that it'll all come together then!

    Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

    Length: 1 hour 14 minutes
    Synopsis: This evening (5/17/23), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we began learning the exceedingly short Chapter 15 (yeah, we skipped 14 for now), which was a VERY different kind of perek! After translating the pesukim and raising all the questions, we sketched some basic approaches and then took a survey of the approaches of our go-to meforshim. We ended by reading through the Gemara which showcases this perek - the same Gemara which is the sole source of the idea that there are 613 commandments. Next time, in two weeks, we will attempt to explain the entire perek and answer our major questions (בג"ה).

    Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

    This evening (5/10/23), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we explained the main idea and practical application of the shiur - and oh what an idea it was! Not only that, but this shiur represented a level-up in our learning of Tehilim, and a new methodological concept which my chavrusa dubbed: "the Evolution of the Supplicant." If you have ever felt disconnected from Hashem, or His Torah, or His mitzvos, or felt distracted in your avodas Hashem by things in your life, then this perek is for you!

    Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

    This evening (5/3/23), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we began a new perek - one which is short and sweet! Well, 73% of it is negative, but I can assure you that the ideas are sweet! Tonight we translated the perek, raised all the questions, began developing an approach, and read through one of the meforshim. Next week we'll attempt to understand the main idea and purpose of the perek, and maybe even birkas ha'Mapil.

  • Tehilim 12: Against Treacherous Speakers (Part 2)

    Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

    This evening (4/26/23), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we continued our analysis of the difficult chapter 12. Despite our best efforts, my chavrusa and I were unable to come up with our own understanding of the perek based on our go-to meforshim. We did, however, appreciate the Malbim's approach. I came to shiur tonight prepared to share all the half-baked ideas that emerged from my own learning, then read the Malbim and allow him to spoon-feed us his ideas. Instead, we - everyone in the shiur - put our heads together and slowly but surely arrived at our own full analysis of the perek! We didn't even have time for the Malbim! I'm so grateful to have talmidim who are willing to think for themselves, share their thoughts, and help each other think together!

    This week's Torah content has been sponsored by my dad in loving memory of our friend, Alan Woog (a"h), who took his final breath on April 18th, just a little shy of his 99th birthday. It has been a privilege to learn with him and from him over the course of these past ten years, and although we will all miss him, we are grateful that he is no longer in pain.
