#3 Yom Kippur – The power of Teshuvah
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Using the event of Eliezer Bar Dudia gaining the title of “Rebbe”, we are introduced to one of the greatest acts of teshuvah ever achieved by a human. We witness a human rise from the depths of depravity to the heights of spirituality in the course of a few hours. Through the story of his life, we see what a man accomplished in but a day -- and we are brought to a new appreciation of how great...

Detailing the story of Chanukah as brought in Megillas Chashmonaim, this Shmuz brings us closer to understanding the events of the time, and appreciating the miracle that unfolded. It then takes us forward in time to...

#25 They don’t make anti Semites like they used to
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Over the course of history, it seems that there has been no shortage of anti-Semites, people who truly hate Jews and would do anything in their power to put an end to the “Jewish Problem”. Yet it also seems that if you ask the common anti-Semite, why is it that you hate the Jew? Likely, he wouldn’t be able to answer. I know that you dream about their demise- but why? What is it about them that...

#28 People Believe what they want to Believe
|
|
|
|
|
|
If Hashem would just show me one miracle, then I would really believe. If Hashem would just show me one clear sign -- it would change my life. This premise that seeing a miracle would make a person believe is brought into sharp relief by one central question: Why didn’t the ancient Egyptians believe in Hashem? They experienced all of the greatest miracles ever shown. They lived through the...

#49 Yom Kippur- The Capacity of a human
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nachum Ish Gam Zu, one of the greatest Tanaim who ever lived, was a complete Tzadik. Yet, at one point in his life, he made a minor mistake, and from then on suffered terribly. When he explained to his students that it was because of this minor oversight that he was suffering they said to him, “Woe to us, that we have to see you this way”. He responded, “Woe to me, if you didn’t see me this way”....

#115 - Preparing For Yom Kipper
|
|
|
|
|
|
While Yom Kippur is known as the Day of Forgiveness, there are two other concerns people should focus on that day: praying for their needs for the coming year, and asking themselves the key question, “Is the life I am leadingthe life I wish to be leading?”
This Shmuz focuses us on the importance of all three issues, and gives us some powerful motivation to use the day to its fullest.

#123 - Chanukah: Whose Side Are You On?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chanukah centers on the ideological battle of two cultures; the hedonistic Yevanim (Greek / Syrian culture) waged war against Torah ideals. The battle was not fought for the physical survival of the Jewish nation, but rather for its ideology and way of life.
Today, we live in very different times. We are no longer downtrodden and subjugated to oppressive regimes; we are free to choose...
