For one to be a chassid, not only are they expected to not waste time, but even do more than everyone else. But we're all human after all, so what can you do to fix it? With so many posing to represent chassidut, Rebbe Elimelech gives clear instructions of what is to be expected, and what must be done, whether one is a Chassid or not. Ultimately everyone can walk away from this with day to day tools that will help them become a better Jew, and perhaps even a Chassid.

BEHALOTECHA: Who Is Not A Jew | STUMP THE RABBI (234)https://youtu.be/HpCx6QAdhBsWe've all seen and heard of those "religious" Jews who go on podcasts online to complain about the burden of mitzvot and rules. Some of us have even complained like them, though not on public forums. Does that make them any less of a Jew than the Tzadik who's looking for more mitzvah opportunities? In Parashat BeHalotecha we see both sides of the coin. At first we see the tzadikim request Pesach Sheni, and later on we see the complainers of the meat debacle. This along with some amazing stories will help us know the answer of who is not a Jew. Learn, Enjoy, Share and Be Holy.

Yaakov Avinu himself had to, and thereby showed us the rules. Rav Elchonon Wasserman's War of Amalek series shows us the endless depths of the Torah, which include the detailed rules of negotiations. Those who have followed them brought salvation, and relief from disasters. While those who have not, have much blood on their hands, including the +600 days our Jewish brothers have remained hostages of the Hamas terrorists.

Are We Too Shy To Do Biggest Mitzvah | Torat HaChassidut (25) https://youtu.be/TaU22g4Q91M There are many mitzvot people take pride in doing and even publicize. Yet there is one mitzvah that most are too shy to do. Rebbe Elimelech of Lizhensk identifies a version of the Yetzer Hara that most do not even realize exists. Indeed, its hidden in plain sight, and was one of the underlying causes of the destruction of the Beit HaMikdash. What's most baffling is that people have no problem performing it in the secular world, and even appreciate it. But when it comes to doing this in the spiritual world, the Yetzer Hara is so strong it convinces some people that this mitzvah is a big sin. Delve deeper into the world of Chassidut with us and learn the ways of defeating the Shyness and shame that could even bring MaShiach. Learn, Share and Be Holy.

EMOR: Wealthy Rabbi | STUMP THE RABBI (231)https://youtu.be/POI3u7pGHuU Parashat Emor discusses the different qualification required for the Kohen Gadol. While having Wisdom and Strength are easily understood, many become confused when they hear that he also must be Wealthy. It's even more confusing when you hear that its the obligation of the other Kohanim to make him the Wealthiest on day one. This touches on the topic of the Rabbi's and Scholars of today and in past history, which were also very wealthy. The secrets behind all of this are profound, and perhaps will unravel some insights that can help each person understand the role of money in the world.

Times Haven't Changed, Time Did | WAR OF AMALEK (26)https://youtu.be/s3NvGycWCuQNot a day goes by that we don't hear about how the times have changed, and this generation is different. Yet Shlomo HaMelech says Nothing Is New Under the Sun. Rav Elchonon Wasserman's War of Amalek series will unravel this contradiction by showing us a relatively unknown and unwritten teachings of the Chafetz Chaim about Time in the End of Days.

How Do Tzadikim Eat | Torat HaChassidut (21)https://youtu.be/gClQCQPanT4Rebbi Elimelech of Lizhensk's Tzetel Katan opens up the mysterious kitchen doors of the tzadikim, and enlightens us about how they eat. While they eat food like us, we quickly learn that their way of eating is far from being like us. This daily act can be much more than we make it and will require a couple of lectures to discuss the process. To start, we will learn about the mindset and preparation before eating. If you're reminded of Yom Kippur during the lecture, then you're paying attention. Like many things we learn about tzadikim, this may not be the lecture you'll be able to follow through with tomorrow, but it will teach us a little more about where we stand, and that is one of the necessities of acquiring wisdom.Enjoy, Learn, Share and Be Holy.

Well, perhaps we have to see the good in people." These are some of the inner battles many have, yet the flattery of the rich and famous continues.Rav Elchonon Wasserman's holy words along with his master the Chafetz Chaim will shed light on this in our WAR OF AMALEK Series, and let us know just what is allowed, forbidden, and outright dangerous. This will be combined with some recent developments on warnings we've given in the past.Learn, Enjoy and Be Holy.#Rich #Judaism #Jewish #Wealthy #RabbiWasserman #rabbiyaronreuven #money #donation #Amalek #WarofAmalek

We're continuing our sermon series Between Two Worlds this weekend. 1 Peter 1:13-23 is our Scripture passage and, in the ESV Bible, the subheading above this passage is "Called to Be Holy." God is holy and desires for us to be holy, but how do we live in holiness when we still fight sin? We'll answer that question this weekend.

Carolyn Moore, a Bishop in the Global Methodist Church, joins me for a deep dive into spiritual leadership. We talk about the role of the holy spirit, Christian leadership, holiness, mentoring others, and discerning God's will.
