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.

Rules of Negotiations with Edom | WAR OF AMALEK (29)https://youtu.be/emM2dVFEoW8 It's not once or twice that the Jewish people had to negotiate with the leaders of Edom. 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. Tune in to learn who, what, when and why to delve into the Torah, and see how everything is literally in it.

Is Mashiach Going To Be A Politician like Ben Shapiro Said? | WAR OF AMALEK (28)https://youtu.be/RXrHeft1kp0As politics continue to gain more of people's attention each day, it's surprising to some that Rav Elchonon Wasserman and other great Torah sages completely rejected the proposed benefits to be gained from politicians, Jewish or Gentile.Today we will dig deeper into the rationale behind it through the words of the Rav, and even learn an extraordinary chidush from the Chatam Sofer about Avraham Avinu and what are the requirement for success as a leader of the Jewish people.

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.

Slavery From Torah vs. Nations | STUMP THE RABBI (232)https://youtu.be/ItQ8pzrP_xIIn the past two centuries slavery among the nations has been mostly abolished.

Political Representation of Jewish People Is An Illusion| WAR OF AMALEK (27)https://youtu.be/qK_tpdbXVK8As recently as the past couple of months we saw different religious groups argue about political representation of the Jewish people in the WZO.

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. This will be followed by live questions from the audience that will touch many interesting topics. Enjoy, Learn, Share and Be Holy.

This shiur will certainly answer your many thoughts and questions about the times, and give us clarity about how we must adjust ourselves to this "New" circumstances today.

Called to Be Holy!Peter calls believers to live with purpose, clarity, and reverence. The phrase “gird up the loins of your mind” paints a vivid picture of readiness. In ancient times, to gird up one's loins meant to tuck in long garments to prepare for action. Likewise, we are to prepare our minds—letting go of distractions and mental laziness—so we can live alert and focused on Christ.

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.

Complimenting Rich and Famous People | WAR OF AMALEK (23) https://youtu.be/Tykd1_67Ifo"Everyone knows that the guy is wicked, yet they compliment him because of his money and donations. 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

Who Is Fit To Lead Israel and World | WAR OF AMLEK (22)https://youtu.be/2UGHE7v1wq8With constant nerve wrecking news coming daily, many are turning Torah groups into political news groups. Everyone has opinions about each leader that's in the headlines, while few understand the Torah ideology about the topic. Rav Elchonon Wasserman's seemingly prophetic words in this War of Amalek reminds us who the Torah deems fit to be a leader, the danger of bad leaders, and what our ideology is supposed to be in regards to how we talk about them. Whether you're interested in the Torah or the political world, this shiur is going to keep you pinned to your seats, and perhaps even impact your worldview perspective.

Tools Needed For Emunah | Torat HaChassidut (20)https://youtu.be/SXfINmWTBLIDifficulties are part of everyone's life, yet the stories of tzadikim make it look easy. What do they do in order to accept the Heavenly judgement with a smile despite the pain? Rebbe Elimelech of Lezhenk's Tzetel Katan continues to open our eyes to see the small the details that can make the greatest differences in our outlook in life. Perhaps even a review of the Purim story can help us see the Divine Hand from above that we missed when we heard it in the past few days. Back from the Surgery and unwilling to miss out on this opportunity to learn the needed tools of Emunah with you today. Learn, Enjoy and Implement because it will help you Be Holy.

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.

MISHPATIM: What Your Business Says About You | STUMP THE RABBI (228)https://youtu.be/pSPyHc47qjUOur sages teach that one who wants to be righteous should study the Torah business laws in Bava Kama.

While these statements of the sages seem exaggerated, today we will learn exactly what they mean, and get some insights about the changes we all need to make. Learn, Share, Enjoy and Be Holy.

One Point Holding You Back From Goal | Torat HaChassidut (17) https://youtu.be/d6JPT-dvzGE Have you ever felt that there was one point holding you back from your goal, but couldn't put your finger on it? Rebbe Elimelech of Lezhenk's Zetel Katan looks within the neshama to let us know that we all have that One Point that separates us from everything in our Avodat HaShem. Today, we will learn just what that point is for each and every person to finally be able to put their finger on it and perhaps make the change needed to reach the goal. Those who come with the ears of denial will ignore what they hear from the start, while those who come to listen for instructions of change may very well be the one leading the pleasant salvation ahead.

Some have such difficulties that they feel alone in the world. While everyone knows that HaShem heard Am Yisrael's cries in Egypt, parashat VAERA will teach us whether that also pertains to your lonely cries. If He Hears them, then why doesn't seem like He's responding.

The Most Costly Peace Agreement In Jewish History | WAR OF AMALEK (21) https://youtu.be/WUxpqFKXNHE While many are still struggling with the terms of the recent Peace agreement in Israel, the Torah is not surprised.

This shiur will surprise and even shock some of you, especially when we go on a little historical journey that is unfortunately not taught in schools, and therefore known mostly by scholars and the decedents of the victims. This important shiur is a must watch for anyone who wants Da'at Torah about Jewish Unity, Peace and those who say otherwise.

SHEMOT: Who Are The Biggest Losers In The World? | STUMP THE RABBI (225) https://youtu.be/auf2KByjjzg Parashat Shemot begins with Pharaoh's convenient forgetfulness of Yosef that would ultimately lead to his demise. Today there are many followers of Pharaoh among us that are unaware of their own actions, even when it leads to their own suffering. What makes them the biggest losers is that they believe they are doing good, since they keep mitzvot and even listen to mussar. How Could they be losers? This and much more questions from the online audience will be addressed, and it may even be a necessary painful cure for a few of them (if they listen of course).LEARN, SHARE, ENJOY and Be Holy.

WHO IS THE NEW FACE OF AMALEK TODAY | WAR OF AMALEK (20) https://youtu.be/Vo7JDzTi1LM Though the War against Amalek is in each generation, Rav Elchonon Wasserman explains to us that each generation has a different type of Amalek, and therefore has to fight the fight of their day, rather than the ones of past times. Who is the new face of Amalek today? What must we do with them? These and much more stories and examples from our Sages will be unveiled today in a shiur that will leave you prepared.

This and much more will be reviewed and help us change our prayer forever. Learn, Share, Enjoy and Be Holy.

Is Freedom of Thought Allowed In Judaism? | WAR OF AMALEK (19) https://youtu.be/wbLWMueBjP4 Many people enjoy the "freedom of speech" amendment of modern day society. While this serves multiple purposes in laws of the land, it becomes problematic when a person thinks they can utilize this in Judaism. Rav Elchonon Wasserman's War of Amalek addresses this freedom of speech as it applies and affects the Charidy Orthodox Jewish community around the world, and lets us know just how much freedom we have, if at all.

In life, we often see each task we are faced with by measuring and analyzing the potential risk vs reward. Today we will learn just how wrong that type of ideology is when it comes to Avodat HaShem.
