This episode discusses the Halachic principles of saving lives. In addition, the topics of bone marrow transplants, health risks and financial loss are covered.

This class discusses the unique lowness of humans: their ability to desire anything other than G-d. While even the most impure animals are created with a natural subjugation to G-ds will, and are forced to follow his will, only humans are capable of choosing something against G-d. We discuss how everything is enlivened by G-dliness or “Klipa”- a spiritual energy that covers up G-dliness, and how that affects the way we interact with the world.

What is the light of the soul? What does light do? And how does it affect you? Does being aware of and contemplating something automatically change you? We discuss Klipa- the covering in this world that blocks things from allowing us to see their truth and creates an illusion of an existence of its own.

Rabbi Breitowitz discusses the foundations for medical Halachot in the Torah. He elaborates on Judaism's command for one to seek medical care as best as possible and discusses the Halachic rulings for the donation of specific organs.

In this episode of Mayim Rabim, we discuss how and why the soul can ultimately reach a higher elevation specifically after being sent down into such a low world. How do we access the ultimate love that we have for Hashem despite the world's attempts to extinguish it?

This episode introduces chapter 29: We discuss the Beinoni's challenge called “Timtum Halev”, a closed off heart, specifically referring to an inability to open one's heart to G-d in prayer. What causes this blockage to occur even in a Beinoni? And how should one deal with this issue? In this episode, we reassess our entire relationship with G-d and how we think of Him in our lives.

Rabbi Kaufman summarizes Chapters 1-28 of Tanya, including introducing our G-dly and animal souls, exploring their battle for control, and understanding the tools which each soul utilizes to express itself. He also introduces the difference between spirituality and physicality, and discusses relationships, values and priorities as related in the Tanya.

In this episode we discuss: What really are the burdens of the physical world? How do we navigate living in a physical world and using it to reach an even higher state of harmony with our soul? What are Geheinom and Gan Eden really all about, and how can we, limited beings, “reach G-d”?

Rabbi Breitowitz discusses the intricate Halachot relating to releasing captives, specifically mentioning the current Halachic rulings about the release of the hostages in Gaza.

“Mayim Rabim” - Discourse on Parshat Noach In this class we discuss the two levels of “Noach”- rest, and how we can reach them. We discuss the state before and after the flood, and how the flood purified the world as a stepping stone to a new state of existence. We also speak of turbulent “waters of Noach” in our experience- the challenges we face each day, and how to utilize them to ultimately uplift us to an even higher level.
