Podcasts about eretz yisroel

The Yom Kippur Perspective: Unbound, Forgiven, Free Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year, a time when we abstain from physical pleasures and rise to angel-like clarity. From Kol Nidrei's haunting melody to Neilah's closing cry of Shema, the day carries us from release to renewal. The Rebbe explains that Kol Nidrei is not about G-d's forgiveness, that comes with the day itself, it is about freeing ourselves from the vows, guilt, and limits that keep us bound. Only then can our truest self emerge, ready to be sealed in the Book of Life. In honor of Eretz Yisroel, May G-d protect our brave soldiers and return all the hostages in Gaza immediately. Dedicated in loving memory of Edward Ben Efraim, Shlomo Ben Edward, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia.

The Mashgiach continues with his explanation of the Yud Gimmel Middos. 

Some words of encouragement as we enter into Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur 

Rabbi Stark talks about the opportunity which Rosh Hashanah offers.

Welcome aboard our journey through Sefer Pele Yoeitz! Today we continue the topic: Eretz Yisroel - The Land of Israel. We learn how if someone wants to go to Eretz Yisroel, how it is upon you to help them achieve their desired goal! We apply this idea more generally, how if a person wants to go up - make aliyah - in some spiritual aspect of their lives, you must help them in that process!_______With the help of HaShem, we are learning the Sefer Pele Yoeitz (written by the great Rabbi Eliezer Papo) as part of the Hachzek Daily Mussar initiative!Calendar link: https://hachzek-media.s3.amazonaws.com/Hachzek_Calendar_Printable.pdfSun- Fri = new 5-7.3 minute shiur Shabbos/YT = chazaraRav Papo wrote the Sefer almost 200 years ago, but the Mussar impact and relevance is beyond incredible.Let's go! Ori Strum

התוכן ידוע המשל של אדה"ז על חודש אלול: "משל למלך שקודם בואו לעיר יוצאין אנשי העיר לקראתו ומקבלין פניו בשדה ואז רשאין [ומוסיף כ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר: ויכולים] כל מי שרוצה להקביל פניו וכו'" [וזה מתחיל מליל א' דר"ח אלול]. מובן שצ"ל "כלי" לזה. מה טוב שכל הג' לבושים, מחשבה דיבור ומעשה, יהיו בשלימות. "בכל לבבך" - מחשבה, "בכל נפשך" - דבור, "בכל מאודך" - מעשה. [וג' ענינים אלו מודגשים גם במ"ש הרמב"ם אודות מעלת שבט לוי, ואשר "לא שבט לוי בלבד אלא כל איש ואיש.. אשר נדבה רוחו.. ה"ז נתקדש קודש קדשים"]. אבל המעשה "הוא העיקר". וזה קשור עם חודש אלול כאשר "אנשי העיר" נמצאים "בשדה", שעיקר העבודה שם הוא במעשה וכו', ולשם מגיע ה"מלך", ובאופן ש"מלך לשדה נעבד" - למעליותא. ויה"ר שתיכף ומיד ממש נלך עם ה"מלך" לאה"ק, ולירושלים עיר הקודש, ולביהמ"ק, בגאולה האמיתית והשלימה. [ועוד].ב' חלקים משיחת אור ליום ה' דפ' שופטים, אדר"ח אלול ה'תשמ"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=24-08-2025 Synopsis The Alter Rebbe famously compares the month of Elul to the “Analogy of a king who, before coming to the city, the people of the city go out to greet him and they receive him in the field, and then whoever wishes is permitted (and the Rebbe, my father-in-law adds: and able) to greet him etc.” (And this begins from the first night of Rosh Chodesh Elul.) Obviously, one must be a proper “vessel” for this, and especially by perfecting all three garments of thought, speech, and action: “With all your heart (thought), with all your soul (speech) and with all your might (action).” (All three are also emphasized in the Rambam's statement about the special status of the tribe of Levi, and how “not only the tribe of Levi, but every single individual…whose spirit generously moves him… is sanctified as holy of holies.”) But action is the main thing. And this is connected to the month of Elul, when the “people of the city” are in the field, where the primary focus is on action, etc., and the “King” comes there – in such a way that “a king is subservient to the field,” in the positive sense. May it be Hashem's will that we go immediately together with the “king” to Eretz Yisroel, to Yerushalayim, the holy city, and to the Beis Hamikdash, with the true and complete Redemption.2 excerpts from sichah of Wednesday night, parashas Shoftim, first night of Rosh Chodesh Elul 5749 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=24-08-2025 לזכות ר' מנחם מענדל בן רחל יהודית שי' חאריטאן ליום הולדת שלו החמישים ביום אדר"ח אלול ה'תשפ"הלשנת ברכה והצלחה, אריכות ימים ושנים טובותנדבת אביו ר' יצחק יעקב שי' חאריטאן

Kedushas Eretz Yisroel

Two powers of emunah converging within ארך אפים

Send us a textKedusha of Eretz yisroel

We review and move into the strong emunah found in Eretz Yisroel

התוכן הוראה ממ"ש בראשון דפ' ראה "כי לא באתם עד עתה אל המנוחה ואל הנחלה .. וישבתם בארץ .. והניח לכם מכל אויביכם מסביב": "מנוחה" מורה ששייך מצב של מלחמה אלא שכעת יש לו מנוחה מזה, משא"כ "נחלה" אין לה הפסק. והתכלית היא שגם המנוחה מאויבים תהי' לעולם ע"י שמהפכים את כל האויבים לאוהבים - "והניח לכם מכל אויביכם". ובעבודה: עוה"ז מצ"ע הוא "עלמא דפרודא" ו"נעשה אדם" לשון רבים – שישנו קס"ד שקיימות ב' מחנות - א' שעוסק בלימוד התורה ולא בבירור העולם, כמו דור המדבר, וא' שעוסק בעניני מסחר והעולם ואינו עוסק בעצמו בתורה אלא נותן צדקה שמישהו אחר ילמד תורה. מצב זה, אף שלא נלחמים זב"ז ואפי' אם מסייעים זל"ז, אי"ז מנוחה אמיתית. תכלית ירידת הנשמה למטה היא להגיע למנוחה אמיתית שהיא כשאין "אויבים" כלל וכולם במחנה אחד: דור המדבר עצמו כובש את א"י ועושה שם משכן לו ית' והבעל-עסק עצמו קובע עתים לתורה. וזהו הענין ד"גוי אחד בארץ", להמשיך את "ה' אחד" גם בענינים ארציים.ב' חלקים משיחת יום א' פ' ראה, כ"ף מנחם-אב ה'תשכ"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=17-08-2025 Synopsis A lesson from the verse (in rishon of parashas Re'eh), “Because you have not yet come to the resting place nor to the inheritance…you must settle in the land…He will grant you respite from all your surrounding enemies”: “Resting” implies that there is a possibility of war, just that at present there is rest from it. “Inheritance,” by contrast, has no end. And the ultimate goal is that even the rest from enemies should be eternal, by transforming all the enemies into friends – “He will grant you respite from all your…enemies.” In terms of Divine service: This world by nature is the “world of separation,” and the verse states, “Let us make man…” in the plural, allowing for the mistaken notion that there are two separate camps, one camp is involved in Torah study without engaging in refining the world (like the generation of the desert), while the other is involved in business and worldly matters and does not occupy itself with Torah study (but gives tzedakah so that someone else can study Torah). Even if the two camps are not fighting one another, and even assist one another, this is still not true rest. The purpose of the soul's descent below is to attain true rest, which is when there are no enemies at all and all belong to one camp: the generation of the desert itself conquers Eretz Yisroel and builds a Mishkan there for Hashem, and the businessman himself sets fixed times for Torah study. This is the meaning of “One nation in the land” – to draw down the reality that “Hashem is One” into even earthly matters.2 excerpts from sichah of Sunday, parashas Re'eh, 20 Menachem-Av 5729 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=17-08-2025 לע”נ הרה"ח התמים ר' אליעזר דניאל ב"ר שמואל יעקב ע"ה מייערס ליום היארצייט שלו כ"ג מנחם-אב. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.

Did the Rabbis of Eretz Yisroel learn the lesson of שִׂנְאַת חִנָּם in the wake of the Destruction of the בֵּית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ?

התוכן 1) [המשך] וההוראה: כאשר א' רואה במדבר הגלות "נחש שרף ועקרב" – צריך לזכור שה"גדול ונורא", ה', נותן לו כוח זה! (וכמ"ש בשיעור חומש דיום זה ששייך להיות "ושכחת את ה' אלקיך" עד כדי כך שאינו רואה ש"הוא הנותן לך כח לעשות חיל"). ואז יוכל לפעול שה"נחש שרף ועקרב" הזה לא רק ש"לא ירעו ולא ישחיתו" אלא עוד יסייע לכל א' בקיום תומ"צ וכו'. וזה גם מה שדובר לעיל אודות הפצת המעיינות עצמן, ש"מקור מים חיים" הוא הרי ה"גדול ונורא", הקב"ה – בתוך ה"חוצה" עצמו. 2) בפ' עקב כתוב ענין נפלא ש"לא בצדקתך וביושר לבבך אתה בא לרשת את ארצם כי ברשעת הגוים האלה ה' אלקיך מורישם מפניך ולמען הקים את הדבר אשר נשבע ה' לאבותיך וגו'". ואם רואים שה"רשעת הגויים האלה" קיים ותקיף והולף ומוסיף, הרי עאכו"כ שכ"ה בנוגע "למען הקים את הדבר אשר נשבע ה' וגו'". ועל כל יהודי להכריז בגלוי שארץ ישראל ניתן לישראל ע"י ה', ויש לאחוז בו בתוקף של "גדול ונורא", ועי"ז יתהפכו ה"נחש שרף ועקרב" לסייע לבנ"י להביאם לארצנו הק'.ב' חלקים משיחת אור לט"ו באב ה'תש"מ ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=12-08-2025 Synopsis (Continued.) (1) The lesson is that when a person sees “snakes, vipers, and scorpions” in the desert of exile, he must remember that Hashem, who is “great and awesome,” gives him the power to overcome them. (As it says in today's Chumash, it is possible to “forget Hashem your G-d” to the extent that one doesn't recognize that it is “He who gives you the strength to make wealth.”) And thus he will be able to cause the “snakes, vipers, and scorpions” to not only “neither harm nor destroy,” but even to assist every Jew in their fulfillment of Torah and mitzvos etc. This is also what was discussed earlier about spreading the wellsprings themselves; the “source of living waters,” Hashem, is “great and awesome” within the “outside” itself. (2) Parashas Eikev contains a wondrous idea: “You are coming to take possession of their land neither because of your righteousness nor because of the integrity of your heart. Rather, it is because of the wickedness of these nations that Hashem your G-d is driving them out from before you, and in order to fulfill the promise that Hashem swore to your forefathers….” – if one sees that the “wickedness of these nations” still exists and continues to intensify, then certainly that is the case regarding “in order to fulfill the promise that Hashem swore….” Every Jew must openly declare that Eretz Yisroel was given by Hashem to the Jewish people, and must hold onto it with the strength of the “great and awesome” one, and in this way the “snakes, vipers, and scorpions” will be transformed so that they will assist in bringing the Jewish people to our Holy Land.2 excerpts from sichah of 15 Av 5740 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=12-08-2025

Why was Joseph, the viceroy of Egypt, buried in the Land of Israel, while Moses, the greatest Jewish leader in history, was not?In this timely and emotionally-charged class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath unpacks a Midrashic conversation between Moses and G-d that reveals something deeper than geography: the power of Jewish identity without shame. Joseph never let go of his roots, even when it cost him everything. Moses, for reasons of his own, allowed others to misidentify him.What emerges is not a critique, but a calling.This is a class about Eretz Yisroel, yes. But it's also a class about spiritual backbone, about moral clarity, and about what it means to be a proud Jew in a world that often wants us to shrink.KEY TAKEAWAYSBeing “too Jewish” is never the problem, being disconnected is. Joseph's merit was his unapologetic loyalty to Israel, even in exile. Spiritual identity is not something we rent. It's who we are. Moses was not punished, he simply wasn't a fit for a mission he didn't fully embody. Today, being a Joseph means embracing our role as G-d's ambassadors, even in the toughest rooms. Israel is not just a land—it's the soul's homeland. Even from across the globe, we are rooted there. When we stop apologizing for our presence, our light begins to shine.#Israel #Judaism #Jewish #Zionism #EretzYisrael #Midrash #Moses #Joseph #IsraelHamas #IsraelWar #MoralClarity #JewishHistory #Torah #TorahPortion #TorahLessons #torahwisdom #torahpsychology #BibleStudy #Bible #BiblicalCrticism Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

התוכן עשרת הדברות [שברביעי דפ' ואתחנן], שהתחלתן היא ב"אנכי ה' אלקיך" וסיומן ב"לא תתאווה .. וכל אשר לרעך", נאמרו בפרטיות ובאופן ברור דוקא – בשש מאות ועשרים אותיות, כנגד תרי"ג מצוות בתורה וז' מצוות דרבנן. וההוראה הברורה: כשם שצריכים להיות זהיר בקיום ציווי הקב"ה ש"בין אדם ומקום" – "אנכי ה' אלקיך", כך באותה מדה צריכים להיות זהיר בכל הענינים שבהמשך העשה"ד, גם הענינים שהם לכאו' שייכים רק לחבירו, "בין אדם לחבירו", ואפי' אם מדובר לא בנשמתו וגופו של חבירו אלא בנכסיו, ואפי' נכסים לא יקרים – "וכל אשר לרעך". וע"י ההוספה בקיום הוראה זו, ממהרים ומזרזים קיום בקשת משה להכנס לארץ ישראל, "ואתחנן וגו'", בגאולה האמיתית והשלימה תיכף ומיד ממש. א' השיחות יום ד' פ' ואתחנן, י"ג מנחם-אב, ה'תנש"א ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=05-08-2025 Synopsis The Aseres HaDibros (in revi'i of parashas Va'eschanan) begin with “I am Hashem your G-d” and conclude with “You shall not desire…anything that belongs to your fellow,” and they are specifically stated in detail and clearly, in six hundred and twenty letters, corresponding to the 613 Biblical mitzvos and the seven Rabbinic mitzvos. The clear lesson is that just as one must be careful to fulfill Hashem's command in matters that are between man and G-d (“I am Hashem your G-d”), so must one be equally careful with all of the Aseres HaDibros, including those that are seemingly matters between man and his fellow. This applies not only when it comes to another Jew's soul or body, but even when it comes to his possessions, and even unvaluable possessions – “…and anything that belongs to your fellow.” By increasing in our fulfillment of this directive, we hasten the fulfillment of Moshe's request to enter Eretz Yisroel, “Va'eschanan (‘I entreated Hashem at that time')…,” with the true and complete Redemption literally right now.Sichah from Wednesday, parashas Va'eschanan, 13 Menachem-Av 5751.

Bilam was arguably as great as Moshe, so how is it possible his life's journey ended up so diametrically opposed to that of Moshe's?

Shema contains both the essence of Torah and the instructions with which how to experience it.

We discuss what it means and if it is possible to study the chassidus of Chabad without being a Chabad chossid.Finally, we discuss some of his critiques of the way that Chassidus is studied today and how a renewed way of study can be found within the tradition itself.____Support this podcast at: ⁠https://www.hflpodcast.com/donate⁠____This week's episode is brought to you by "This World Is A Garden," a new film and live concert production by Yuvla Media based on the Rebbe's first talk, Bosi Lgani.Combining beautiful cinematography with a live performance by a string quartet, this production is a meditation on hope and holding on to a vision even as time passes by.Now you can bring this groundbreaking experience of Bosi Lgani to your community.For more info please visit: ⁠https://www.yuvlamedia.com/thisworldi..⁠.____Homesick for Lubavitch is a project of Yuvla Media.Bentzi Avtzon is a filmmaker who specializes in telling the stories of thoughtful and heartfelt organizations.
