Length: 29 minutesSynopsis: I've recently been asked by several people about my current meditation practice and what I get out of it. I decided to make an episode in which I recap my history with meditation practices, review some of the key benefits of meditation according to Stoicism and Judaism, and conclude with a summary of my current relationship with meditation.Related Content: - On Doing Nothing: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4 - Q&A #06, Question #3 - Letting Go and Letting Be (my favorite Tara Brach meditation)Sources: - Dan Harris, 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works – a True Story - Epictetus, Enchiridion 20 - Aurelius, Meditations 4:3 - Rambam: Mishneh Torah, Sefer Ahavah, Hilchos Tefilah u'Birkas Kohanim 4:16 - Rambam: Commentary on the Mishnah, Berachos 5:1 - R' Avraham ben ha'Rambam: Ha'Maspik l'Ovdei Hashem, Chapter 24: Obligations of Tefilah -----The Torah content for Rosh Chodesh Nisan has been sponsored by my friend and fellow Ralbag-enthusiast, Rabbi Dovid Campbell.

Avraham Shkedi was born in Israel in 1950, shortly after its creation. As a young boy, he worked on his parents' farm. He emigrated from Israel to the US and started a business and family. He couldn't spend as much time with his parents as he wanted due to the US-Israeli distance and economic reality. He was lucky to spend his father's last five days sitting next to him and listening to his stories. He promised his father that he would write the most spectacular life story for the family.

Today’s daf is sponsored by Carol Robinson and Art Gould in memory of Art’s mother Shirley, Sarah bat Avraham v’Ziche Reicha. Today is her 9th yahrtzeit. “She was a life-long learner and a striver; a woman born before her time. She sewed, she made mosaics; she was always busy with something. She lives on in the tallitot and quilts she made for so many members of her family and her synagogue.” Rav Shimi bar Ashi raised a difficulty with those who limited the law about unspecified money for the nazirite sacrifices being used for voluntary burnt offerings for money only and not animals, pieces of silver, or piles of beams. Rav Shimi showed that also birds can remain unspecified until a later stage. Rav Papa responded with a source showing that animals do not remain unspecified, even in a case where one didn't specifically designate each one for each particular sacrifice as when a nazir set aside a female sheep, male sheep, and ram, but did not specify which sacrifice each one is for, it is as if they are already specified. Rav Shimi rejects Rav Papa's response as when one specifies those particular animals, it is clear which was meant for which sacrifice since the Torah specifically says that a female sheep is brought as a sin offering, the male sheep for a burnt offering and the ram for a peace offering and therefore, it is as if they were specifically designated. Earlier, Rav Nachan stated that even though the law of unspecified money does not apply to an animal, it would apply to an animal with a blemish, as it could be sold immediately and was therefore considered like money. Rav Hamnuna and Rava bring tannaitic sources to raise a difficulty against Rav Nachman.

Nachman's Schachter's Ten Steps to Eternity is a unique book. It is a sefer that examines the ten nisyonos of Avraham Avinu through the eyes of the Midrash, with fascinating details and thought-provoking insights. It is also a book of many true, original, never-before-published stories about Avraham's “children” – contemporary Jews who have incorporated Avraham's beliefs and accomplishments into their own lives. This combination of insights and incredible stories leaves one amazed by how our fellow Jews courageously and faithfully follow our forefather's holy path. In this Inside ArtScroll interview, the author discusses why he wrote the book – and why he thinks every Jew will gain immeasurably from reading it. [Buy the book HERE]

From the comparison, it is derived that vows can be annulled with three regular people (not judges) and that if one slaughters an animal that was sanctified, one can annul the sanctification and thus avoid the karet punishment. Beit Shamai doesn’t hold by the rule about annulling sanctification so they conclude that he must not hold by the gezeira shava. If so, what do they learn from ‘ze hadavar’ in each of these sections? From where do they derive the law that three regular people can annul vows? It is derived from the verses of the holidays – as the holidays are differentiated from vows – holidays require judges to determine their sanctity (by declaring the new moon) while vows do not. Rabbi Chanina brings an exception to the rule that the husband must cancel his wife’s vows on the day he hears them. If he wants to rebuke her first for vowing, he can push off the nullification for up to ten days. Rava raises a difficulty with Rabbi Chanina’s statement from the Tosefta, but it is resolved.

In his book 'Eternally Yours', Rabbi Reuven Mann makes an important observation: that most religions and polical, intellectual, and social movements trace themselves back to a single founder. Yet as great as our Patriarch Avraham was, his legacy is shared by his family and descendants. In this episode, he points out that the Torah doesn't include the concept of "sainthood" (in the Christian sense) but rather the fallibility of our leaders so that we remain faithful to God alone. Avraham went to great lengths in order to destroy the spiritual disease of idolatry, of which Maimonides says the entire purpose of Torah is to uproot idolatry from the world. Yet there are those who claim idolatry has already been uprooted from our midst. Rabbi Mann addresses this point clearly and with precision. He also discusses the doctrine that all people are created "in God's image" and are thus entitled to be treated with compassion — which is a major tennet of Judaism. We asked what this "Tzelem Elokim" entails and in what way does it implore us to take action, especially in regards to justice and compassion? Additionally, the Torah does not provide much information about the personal aspects our great leaders, in terms of their physical appearance and emotional makeup. Why is that the case, considering that many great non-biblical works of wisdom utilize those aspects to paint a picture of their heroic figures? Lastly, the Rabbi goes on to explain how the gut-wrenching story of Joseph teaches us about optimism and faith.

It is in the moments when we are giving tzedakah, volunteering our time to help another or fulfilling the mitzvah of saving a life that we feel most aligned with our true selves. However with the subject of organ donations there are many halachic details that we need to be aware of in order to fulfill this mitzvah according to Hashem's will. In this episode I have Rabbi Yossi Grossman, founder of the Jewish Ethics Institute to teach us what we need to know on this important topic. ★ Support this podcast ★

Today's daf is sponsored by Helen Danczak in loving memory of her father on his 31st Yahrzeit. "When I think of him, I remember his gentle nature, his love of family, and his support of Jewish causes." Today’s daf is sponsored by Ilana Friedman in memory of her grandmother’s yahrzeit, Chaya Chana bat HaRav Avraham Yaacov. “She was a true eishet chayil and baalat chessed. I still miss her 38 years later." Today's daf is sponsored by Esther Kremer in memory of her father, Manny Gross, Yehuda Menachem ben Avraham to mark the end of his shloshim.    A story is told of Rabbi Yehuda showing his poverty but also his pride in not wanting to take from anyone else and his satisfaction with what he had. Rabbi Akiva was also living in poverty with his wife as his father-in-law, Kalba Savua disowned his daughter (vowed that she not benefit from him) Rachel when she married the unlearned shepherd, Akiva. They also lived in poverty but were satisfied with what they had. Rabbi Akiva went away at her encouragement to learn for twelve years. Upon returning, he overheard her talking to an evil person who was advising her to divorce her husband, and she said that she would be happy if he went to learn for another twelve years. Rabbi Akiva heard this and went right back to learn for twelve more years. Upon his return with a huge entourage of people and 24,000 students, when they tried to push his wife away (as they didn't realize she was his wife), he said that she gets all the credit for his and his student's knowledge. Kalba Savua asked Rabbi Akiva to annul his vow, which he did. Rabbi Akiva then became rich and another five incidents, listed in the Gemara, also gave him more wealth. Rabbi Yehoshua ben Chanania was very ugly and the emperor's daughter mocked him, saying that how can Torah be placed in such an ugly vessel. He answered that Torah is best kept in an ugly vessel, just as wine is best not stored in fancy gold and silver utensils. Another woman who was unhappy with a ruling of Rav Yehuda against her in court, mocked his rabbi, Shmuel about his appearance. Rav Yehuda excommunicated her and she subsequently died. What is an egg tortima, mentioned in the Mishna? How is it prepared and what unique healing capabilities does it have? Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi (Rebbi) made a wedding party for his son and didn't invite bar Kapara. After being reprimanded, he invited bar Kapara. The Gemara proceeds to tell other stories between Rebbi and bar Kapara to better understand the nature of their relationship.

Daily Emunah Podcast - Daily Emunah By Rabbi David Ashear

Mistakes happen all the time. Some mistakes can be easily corrected while others can have devastating effects. We mentioned previously that even our mistakes are from Hashem. But we also have to know that Hashem can get us out of the problems that our mistakes have caused. Nothing is beyond repair. Hashem has infinite ways of helping us. And therefore, if we are in a difficult situation due to a mistake that we have made, we should be begging Hashem to get us out of it. I read a story about a man who we'll call Reuven who lives in Israel. He got a great job which allowed him to continue learning in an afternoon and night kollel. He was told that the boss is very fair but also very demanding. He expected a top rate performance from everyone in the company. Reuven's coworkers all seemed satisfied with their jobs, but it was clear they invested their heart and soul far beyond most office jobs to earn their generous salaries. During Reuven's second week on the job, there was a big meeting with most of the staff and the boss. Reuven was told to stay at his desk to answer phone calls and deal with the clients while most everyone else was to attend the meeting. During that time, Mr. Frankel, a foreign client, called to inquire about his account and his order. Reuven replied by saying the one in charge of his account was in a meeting and would be available in about an hour. Mr. Frankel was angered, being told to call back, and demanded immediate service. Reuven tried to open his account but, since he was new to the job, he couldn't figure it out. So, once again, he told Mr. Frankel to please try back. The client said, “I don't need the information in an hour. I need it right now. And if you can't provide it, I'll have to find another company that is more competent.” And with that he hung up the phone. After the big meeting, Avraham, who was in charge of Frankel's account, returned to his desk. When Reuven told him what happened, Avraham couldn't believe it. He raised his voice just enough for the boss to overhear, who then came over asking what the problem was. Reuven then told the boss, Mr. Berger, what happened. The boss was extremely upset, as Frankel was their most lucrative client. He said to Reuven, “I expect my workers to try their hardest. You should have sat there and tried to figure out what he wanted.” Reuven felt terrible. He knew this, most probably, was going to cost him his job. When the day ended, Reuven eagerly left the building in a hurry, relieved that it was Thursday and the office was closed Friday, which meant he wouldn't have to face his boss again until Sunday. He struggled that Shabbat, trying to remain happy and not worry about how he was going to find a new job. After he finished Arbit on leil Shabbat , Reuven stayed, as usual, for an extra hour in shul learning. On his way home, he saw a little two year old boy standing all by himself in the deserted street. He came over to him and saw he was dressed up for Shabbat but his parents were nowhere in sight. He waited there for a while, but they never came. He knew of a gemach for lost children about a 15 minute walk from there and, after waiting a long time, he decided that was the best place to go to. He sent his two sons to tell his wife he would be delayed and he headed out to the gemach with the baby. When he arrived, he was told that just minutes before that, someone had come running to their house, telling them that they had lost their two year old son and the description matched exactly. Reuven asked for their address and said he would quickly go there to tell them and, in the meantime, he left the baby there. When he arrived, he heard loud, anxious voices, as well as people crying. When he entered, he saw none other than his boss, Mr. Berger. He said, “Did you perhaps lose a child?” “My grandson is missing,” Mr. Berger replied. Reuven told him that he found the child and he is fine, he's in the gemach . Everybody there, including the child's parents, were so thankful. That baby had been missing for over two hours. That Sunday morning, when Reuven showed up for work, Mr. Berger told him he was going to fire him, but after seeing what type of person he really was, spending all of that time running back and forth to the gemach and making sure the baby was okay, he decided he was going to keep him on board. Reuven had made a terrible mistake in the office, but through hashgacha peratit, Hashem fixed it for him. Hashem knows how to fix all our mistakes and therefore we should always turn to Him and ask Him for his help.

Study Guide Nedarim 42 This week’s learning is sponsored by the Mondrow family in memory of Irving “poppy” Mauskopf, Yechezkel ben Rachel and Avraham. "A man who had complete faith in Hashem. He exemplified the quote: “Who is rich? One who is content with his lot. May his neshama had an Aliyah."   Today's daf is sponsored by David and Mitzi Geffen in loving memory of Mitzi's father, Jack Lock, of Harrisburg PA, who passed away two years ago. "He was so proud that all 4 of his children made Aliyah to Israel, and that his “tribe” grew during his lifetime to nearly 100 family members, spanning 3 generations all in Israel. He was a generous and loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle and brother who is sorely missed.” Today's daf is sponsored by Alex Lipton in honor of his father, Richie. "Happy Hebrew birthday! Wishing you a great year ahead!" If one vowed to not benefit from another, one cannot go into the other's field and pick fruits. But if the vow was during the sabbatical (shmita) year, one still cannot go in the field but one can pick fruits that are hanging outside the field. If the wording of the vow included only food, then one can go into the field. Statements of Rav and Shmuel and Rabbi Yochanan and Reish Lakish are quoted, regarding a particular issue in our Mishna. If the vow was made before the shmita year, and then the shmita year starts, since the fruits then become ownerless, are they still forbidden or are they no longer considered included in the vow? Initially, the Gemara thinks that the two groups of rabbis disagree with each other about whether or not one can forbid something now even when it is (at a later point) no longer in their domain. However, this does not take into account that each group of rabbis spoke about different language used - one had said "this property" and the other "my property." A further difficulty is raised but is resolved. A different way of understanding the debate is suggested but also rejected. Eventually, they explain that there is no debate at all - each group of rabbis was referring to a different case, and, in fact, they all agree! If one's field also becomes ownerless in the shmita year so that people can come into their field to collect fruits, why is one who is forbidden to benefit not permitted to come into the field to collect the fruits? Two possible answers are brought. If one vowed to not benefit from another, one cannot lend the other items, lend money or sell to them, neither can one borrow from the other items or money or buy from them.
