Chullin Daf Pay Beis חולין דף פ"ב (in Yiddish) With RabbiAvrohom Karp
In 1612, Avraham Portaleone of Mantua published a landmark work of encyclopedic proportions covering all things Beis Hamikdash. Reading through four of his discussions, we meet a man working under far-from-ideal conditions. His sefer turns out to be part of a larger story about the struggles of Jewish printing and book possession in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Italy. The Rabbi-Doctor Who Wrote a Sefer on the Beis Hamikdash with Both Hands Tied Behind His Back
You're told to mourn the Beis HaMikdash, but you've never seen it. So what are you actually supposed to feel during the Nine Days and on Tisha B'Av, and how do you get there without faking it? We sit down with Rabbi Don Jarashow to chase an honest answer: mourning isn't a mood you either have or don't have; it's sensitivity you can practice. We talk about why the classic Nine Days customs (less music, fewer pleasures, pulling back from comfort) aren't meant to make you miserable. They're meant to create space. When you limit what usually fills your attention, you finally have room to notice what exile means, what it means to say the Shechinah is in pain, and what it means to want redemption and geulah in a real way. Don shares a vivid story that reframes grief across time and makes the question of “mourning what you never had” land in the gut. From there we get practical and personal: what “awaiting redemption” can look like when every person has a different mission and a different struggle. We touch on Avas Yisrael, on choosing an avodah that's actually yours, and on how to end the Nine Days without spiraling into second-guessing. The goal is effort, alignment, and honesty, then knowing when to move forward into comfort and Nachamu.

Eine grosse Vielfalt Früchte ist im Juli erntereif: Kirsche, Aprikose, Erd- und Himbeere, Heidel- und Johannisbeere und auch erste Brombeeren sind schwarz und süss. Die Fruchtpflanzen müssen im Sommer fachgerecht gepflegt und geschnitten werden, um auch im nächsten Jahr eine schöne Ernte abzugeben. Früchte an Kirsch- und Aprikosenbäumen schützen · Schattiernetze anbringen: Bei Spalierbäumen an Wänden senken Netze die Temperatur und schützen vor Sonnenbrand. · Beschädigte Früchte entfernen, damit sich keine Schädlinge einnisten und vermehren und keine Fäulnisherde bilden. · Kirschessigfliegen-Fallen im Innern der Bäume aufhängen und Lockmittel regelmässig erneuern (s. Merkblatt Kirschessigfliege). Bewässerung und Bodenschutz bei Fruchtbäumen · Aprikosenbäume reagieren während der Reifezeit empfindlich auf Trockenheit. Deshalb mindestens einmal kräftig giessen. · Baumscheiben mulchen: Eine 2–3 cm hohe Schicht aus Rasenschnitt, Schilfmulch oder Hanfeinstreu hält den Boden länger feucht und schattiert. Baumschnitt · Sommerschnitt verschieben: Wegen der aktuellen Hitze sollte man mit dem Sommerschnitt (z. B. dem Entfernen von Wasserschoss) bis in den August warten. Die Triebe spenden derzeit wichtigen Schatten. · Säulenbäume zurückschneiden: Bei Säulen-Kirschbäumen müssen die Seitenzweige jetzt auf etwa 15 cm eingekürzt werden, falls das noch nicht erledigt wurde. Hitzeschutz für Topfpflanzen · Töpfe beschatten: Auf Balkonen und Terrassen überhitzt die Erde in den Kübeln schnell. Deshalb kleinere Blumentöpfe davorstellen oder die Haupttöpfe weiss anstreichen, damit das Sonnenlicht reflektiert wird. Wer zu viele reife Früchte hat oder in den Ferien ist, kann Apps wie «Mundraub» oder «MeinObstgarten» nutzen, um Erntehelfer zu finden oder Pflegepatenschaften zu schliessen.

Harav Yussie Zakutinsky Shlita
A crying mother is mourning her young son next door to Rabban Gamliel, and he can't stop crying with her. It goes so far that his students worry for his health. That midrash is the doorway we use to talk about the Three Weeks, the destruction of Jerusalem, and why the loss of the Beit HaMikdash is not only national history but a personal wound that still reshapes Jewish life.We explore what it means to live with a Torah that includes 613 mitzvot when so many are tied to the Temple service, Kohanim, Leviyim, and korbanot. The absence is not theoretical. It affects how complete Jewish practice can feel, and it changes how we experience exile, community, and longing. We also push past the usual framing of mourning as “remembering the past” and ask a sharper question: what if much of our pain today is heavier because we lack the clarity that the Beit HaMikdash once provided?That clarity is described in vivid images: the smoke rising straight from the mizbeach, the Leviyim singing on the steps, the Kohanim doing avodah, and the open miracles that made God's presence feel real. When that visibility is gone, suffering can feel like darkness with no map. We close with a practical, prayer-focused takeaway: slowing down in Shemoneh Esrei, especially the parts about rebuilding Jerusalem and restoring the service, so our longing becomes a real ask for redemption, understanding, and comfort.If this resonated, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people find it. What part of Shemoneh Esrei do you most tend to rush through?Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!----------------SUBSCRIBE to The Weekly Parsha for an insightful weekly talk on the week's Parsha.Listen on Spotify or 24six!Access all Torah talks and listen to featured episodes on our website, themotivationcongregation.org----------------Questions or Comments?

The Rebbe addresses the need to intensify Jewish and Chassidic education at Beis Rivka Seminary, emphasizing that fear of Heaven must precede wisdom. He urges careful selection of teachers and materials, maintaining the seminary's unique character, and prioritizing spiritual values. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/017/010/6383
The Rebbe writes about the continual increase in wisdom over time, the importance of Torah study and yiras Shamayim, and the merit of involvement in communal Torah learning. He connects these themes to the upcoming Yud-Beis–Yud-Gimmel Tammuz, a time of redemption and spiritual victory. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/017/010/6381
How do we belong to a story we did not experience?In this shiur, delivered at The Space, Rav Burg explores one of the deepest challenges of the Three Weeks: how can we mourn a Beis HaMikdash we never saw?We may know the facts of the Churban, but information is not experience. Knowledge is not mourning. Mourning begins when the loss becomes personal enough that we feel the emptiness.Drawing on the Torah's understanding of aveilus, the psychology of healthy mourning, this shiur shows that mourning is not merely sadness. It is creating an enduring relationship. It is the refusal to move on from what still matters.The Three Weeks are not about acting sad. They are about interrupting our numbness, recovering an enduring connection to the Beis HaMikdash, and asking what it means to rebuild a place for the Shechinah in our lives, our homes, and our world.

The Mishneh Torah was the Rambam's (Rabbi Moses ben Maimon) magnum opus, a work spanning hundreds of chapters and describing all of the laws mentioned in the Torah. To this day it is the only work that details all of Jewish observance, including those laws which are only applicable when the Holy Temple is in place. Participating in one of the annual study cycles of these laws (3 chapters/day, 1 chapter/day, or Sefer Hamitzvot) is a way we can play a small but essential part in rebuilding the final Temple.
Rabbi Resnick offers clear and to-the-point classes in plain English on the daily portion of Rambam's Mishneh Torah for the 3 chapters a day cycle.
A brief overview and summary of the daily portion of three chapters of Rambam's Mishnah Torah, as an aid to enhance the study and review of the day's Rambam.

Chag Hageulah - Yud-Beis Tammuz (23:54)
Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: Yud Beis Tammuz – 99 years: What does this day teach us? What happened on this day and what lessons does it offer us today? Why does the celebration of the Frierdiker Rebbe's liberation extend for two days – 12-13 Tammuz? Why is this month named after a Babylonian idol? What is the spiritual energy of this month? Is there a connection between the events of this day in 5754 and back in the time of Joshua when the sun was stopped? Is there something special about today, June 21, being the longest day of the year? Why didn't Joshua simply pray that the enemy be defeated? What is the mission of Chassidim who are not on shlichus? Is the Rebbe perfect? Follow-up What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week's Torah parsha? Can we heal people today by using a similar treatment to gazing at a serpent of brass mounted on a pole, as Moses was commanded? Why was Moses striking the rock such a great sin? Why was he not given the opportunity to do teshuva? Why were others not given the opportunity to do teshuva just as the sons of Korach were? What was the sin of Baal Pe'or? What lessons does this despicable sin offer us today? Why is a Parsha named after the evil Balak? What parts of Balaam's blessings were about Moshiach? What can we learn from Balaam's closing plot against the Jews? How should we react to the President's latest deal with Iran? Can we parallel the back-and-forth attitude of Iran to what Pharaoh and the Egyptians did regarding freeing the Jews? Tammuz Gimmel Tammuz Chukas-Balak Iran How is today's unrest in the Middle East a continuation of the unresolved conflict between Ishmael and Isaac? And what can we do to achieve permanent peace? Is it a good idea to allow my son to travel with a group to visit the concentration camps in Poland and Ukraine?
