Ikar ha-da'as hu achdus shel chasadim u'gvuros — true knowledge is the unity of kindness and restraint. Likutey Moharan, Torah Daled (Torah 4) — Shiur 2, with Rabbi Rietti. We finish the recap of paragraphs alef–gimel and walk paragraph daled be'kius, on the way toward zayin. Recorded the week of Matan Torah — the ultimate achdus. What we cover: Recap — the glimpse of Olam Haba — me'ein Olam Haba is from ayin, an eye: not a taste but a glimpse. The complete da'as that everything — the good and the "bad" — flows from one source, Hashem, who is only good, rooted in ahavah, chesed, and achdus. Vidui devarim before a talmid chacham — why this is not a Breslever chiddush: sources in Shas, Nach, and the Rambam (Hilchos Teshuvah, perek alef). And why vidui (from hoda'ah — to admit / to thank) is not the Catholic "confession." Seif daled — "u'kshe'yeida kol zos" — when a person knows all this, it is called yediya shleima. And ikar ha-da'as is the perfect unity of chasadim u'gvuros — chesed and gevura combined. (Why da'as is the joining of the two, not a sefira of its own.) What gevura actually means — not "power" but restraint. Mai gevuraso shel HaKadosh Baruch Hu? — Eizehu gibor? Ha'kovesh es yitzro. Hashem's gevura is erech apayim — His patience, holding back even with the reshaim. The highest demonstration of His gevura is that He withholds full puranus. Puranus and onesh — re-translated — puranus means payment, not "punishment" (Loshon Hakodesh has no word for punishment). Onesh = ayin (an eye that sees) + nash (to fall) — being shown how I have fallen. Mida k'neged mida is built to let a person see his own mistake. Examples in halacha — the eved ivri who stole and is treated with such chesed that he learns to care; the arei miklat (48 cities of the Levi'im); and the mitzvah of road signs at every junction in Eretz Yisroel. How Rebbe Nachman learns a pasuk — quoting pesukim and Gemaros "out of order" as drush; bittulah shel Torah zu hi kiyuma vs. yesoda — and why the kiyum (a building standing) depends entirely on the yesod (the foundation), per the Maharal.

The reason why in the Midbar Am Yisroel either couldn't have Ta'avah meat, or were allowed to eat a Neveila, and the connection to Shavuos.

The reason why it was allowed during the conquering of Eretz Yisroel.Source Sheet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1536SXSX550vz8OzfzLS-aVLHK6ClPv80/view?usp=share_link

Why does Orthodox Jewish life feel so expensive these days?In this deeply thoughtful conversation, Rabbi Chaim Zvi Senter shares his perspective on money, family pressure, entitlement, resilience, emunah, and the rising cost of Jewish life.From housing in Israel to tuition, kollel support, fundraising culture, and the pressure parents feel to keep up, Rabbi Senter offers clarity, warmth, and hard truth. Drawing on decades of life in Eretz Yisroel, he speaks candidly about what has changed, what hasn't, & where many families are quietly struggling.Why do so many parents feel overwhelmed by the financial expectations of frum life? Are children becoming entitled or are adults simply afraid to say no? Should every child be sent to learn in Israel, even when the cost is crushing? And what happens when tzedakah starts to feel more like gambling than giving?Along the way, Rabbi Senter speaks about visiting children learning in Israel, raising emotionally healthy and resilient families, and how to strengthen emunah when money feels tight and the future feels uncertain.He also addresses the cultural messages we are sending our children through the luxuries we normalize, the prizes we offer, and even the way we fundraise.Let's not lose sight of what really matters!Email: rabbisenter@adereshatorah.com

התוכן בנוגע להנהגת מרדכי אחרי הנס פורים מצינו דבר פלא: לאחרי שמרדכי ראה איך שע"י ניצל כלל ישראל מגזירת המן, עד שנעשה "משנה למלך" (דרגה הנעלה ביותר שאפשר להגיע בזמן הגלות), הנה במקום להמשיך ב"עסקנות ציבורית"... עלה מבבל לארץ ישראל כדי שיוכל לעסוק בלימוד התורה ובקיום המצוות ונהי' א' מחברי הסנהדרין! ומזה לימוד נפלא לאלו העוסקים בעסקנות ציבורית (או בקו ד"זבולון" בכלל), שכל זמן שיש להם ציווי מנשיא הדור – עליהם להמשיך בעסקנות זו ולא "לברוח מהחזית", ולעבוד מתוך קב"ע והקדמת נעשה לנשמע כחלק מ"צבאות ה'", (כמו ב"צבא" כפשוטו שלא משנה חכמתו של המפקד – לכל לראש יש למלאות את הפקודה של מי שנתמנה להיות המפקד, ועאכו"כ כאשר מדובר אודות ציווי של ממה"מ הקב"ה!), אבל בשעת מעשה צ"ל אצלם תשוקה הכי גדולה לזמן שיוכלו להתיישב וללמוד תורה בהתמדה ושקידה! ובמילא ברגע שמרגיש או קיבל הוראה ברורה שהשלים עבודתו – ה"ה "עלה מבבל"! (וכן לפנ"ז – מנצל כל רגע פנוי ללימוד התורה).ג' חלקים משיחת מוצאי שבת פרשת שמיני ה'תשל"ח ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=20-02-2026 Synopsis After Mordechai's position at the king's gate helped save the Jewish people from Haman's decree, and after Mordechai became second to the king (the highest possible rank one could reach during exile), instead of staying to continue his work on behalf of the public, he went up from Bavel to Eretz Yisroel to occupy himself with Torah and mitzvos and become a member of the Sanhedrin. The wondrous lesson for those involved in work on behalf of the community (or generally the path of Zevulun) is that as long as they have a directive from the Nasi HaDor, they must continue this work and not flee from the frontlines; they should carry out their mission with kabolas ol, carrying out their mission as part of Hashem's army. But at the same time, they must feel the utmost longing for the time when they will be able to sit and learn Torah constantly and diligently. Accordingly, the moment one feels – or receives a clear directive –that his mission is complete, he should “go up from Bavel” (and even before then, he should utilize every free moment for Torah study).3 excerpts from sichah of Motzaei Shabbos Parashas Shemini 5738 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=20-02-2026

Tes-Vov Shevat - Chamisha-Asar B'Shevat - Siyum Horambam (24:32)

התוכן ברביעי דפ' בשלח מסופר אודות קריעת ים סוף. מסופר במדרש דזה מ"ש הקב"ה "דבר אל בנ"י ויסעו" הוא כי רצה הקב"ה שיהודי יקפוץ לים רק בגלל שכך צוה הקב"ה, ורק לאחר שנחשון בן עמינדב קפץ לים – נבקע הים, ובנ"י ניצלו ממצרים והלכו לקבלת התורה וכו' עד לכניסתם לא"י. וההוראה: גם אם רואים מסביב מניעות ועיכובים ללימוד התורה בהתמדה ושקידה ולקיום רצונו ית' בהידור, הנה כאשר מראים שמ"מ מוסרים נפש כדי לקיים את רצונו ית', אז מתבטלים בדרך ממילא כל המניעות ועיכובים. ובפרט בנוגע לתלמידי הישיבה, שכל ענינם הוא לימוד התורה וקיום מצוותי', ולפעמים נדמה להם שיש להם מניעות קשים ביותר (ובפרט מצד חבריהם הלא-טובים), ועאכו"כ לנצל גם את זמנם הפנוי מסדרי הישיבה ללימוד התורה – הנה כאשר הבחור לא נבהל מכל המניעות אלא "קופץ לים" – "נקרע הים" ומתבטלות המניעות ועיכובים, ולא עוד – אלא שרואה הצלחה בכל עניניו. משיחת אור ליום ד' פ' בשלח, י"ב שבט ה'תשכ"ו, ב"יחידות" להתלמידים שיחיו דישיבת תות"ל במאָנטרעאַל ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=26-01-2026 Synopsis Revi'i of parashas Beshalach recounts the events of Kerias Yam Suf. The Midrash says that when Hashem says, “Speak to the Jewish people and let them travel,” it is because Hashem wanted a Jew to jump into the sea simply because that is what Hashem commanded. It was only after Nachshon ben Aminadav jumped into the sea that the sea split, saving the Jewish people from Egypt and enabling them to receive the Torah and build the Mishkan etc., and eventually to enter Eretz Yisroel. The lesson is that even if one sees that there are obstacles to learning Torah constantly and diligently, and to fulfilling Hashem's will behidur, when one demonstrates that he is nevertheless prepared to have mesiras nefesh to fulfill Hashem's will, all the obstacles and hindrances fall away automatically. This is especially true for yeshivah students, whose entire function is Torah study and doing mitzvos. While it may sometimes seem to them that they face very difficult obstacles (particularly from not-good friends), and even more so when it comes to using even their free time for Torah study – nevertheless, when a bochur is not fazed by the obstacles and instead “jumps into the sea,” then “the sea splits” – the obstacles will cease to exist, and he will see success in all his endeavors.Sichah of Tuesday night, parashas Beshalach, 12 Shevat 5726 – in Yechidus for the students of Yeshivas Tomchei Temimim Lubavitch Montreal For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=26-01-2026 לע"נ מרת רבקה רחל בת ר' חיים דוב ע"ה שנור ליום היארצייט שלה ח' שבט. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.*לזכות רבקה בת שושנה שתחי' ליום ההולדת שלה ט' שבט - לשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות

Hi everyone, welcome back to The Chai on Life Podcast! I'm so happy to be back after a postpartum hiatus. Baruch Hashem I am so grateful for the little miracle baby that I now have in my life and so grateful to have had the quality time with him and now so grateful to be able to focus back on the podcast a bit more. Gd willing, I will be doing a full episode on the birth story and some reflections from that, so if that's interesting to you stay tuned. But now, I've been busy working on some interviews with really incredible people and I am so excited to share them.Today's episode is with Shoshana Judelman. I got connected to Shoshana through Midreshet Rachel — she is a teacher there now and has always been passionate about teaching Torah and Jewish History. She holds a Bachelor's in History and a Master's in Jewish History. She made aliyah with her husband and six children to Efrat in 2013. In addition to teaching at MRC, Shoshana teaches Chassidus for the Shirat David Community in Efrat as well as for BeOr Panecha in Elazar. She is a guide in Poland with JRoots and co-leads inspirational trips to Ukraine and around Eretz Yisroel. Shoshana has also been a guide at Yad Vashem since 2014.In this episode, she is sharing so much about her connection to the world of Chassidus, what we can learn from it and how we can connect to Chanukah more deeply through its teachings. She speaks about:-How she got into Chassidus and became a baal teshuva-What the difference is between Chassidus and other perspectives on Torah-How we can interpret the world through the lens of our human soul and Gdly soul which was a really interesting and helpful teaching-What it really means that just a little bit of light can dispel a lot of darkness (with a really great mashal included in that)-How to cope when it feels like the darkness is getting darker, whether in your own personal world or in the world at large-How you can personally connect through the lighting of the Chanukah candles and practically a great tip if you have a busy household and it's hard to focus when your family is lighting together-Her own personal struggle at the moment and how she's dealing with it and becoming closer with Hashem in the process. This was so beautiful I was really getting emotional …and so so much more!To daven for Shoshana, her full name is Shoshana Yonah bat AidelLearn more from Shoshana here.

Parshas Toldos: When Nations Stir This week's Parsha brings us into the very beginning of a struggle that started before Yaakov and Esav were even born. Rivkah feels something inside her that no one can explain, leading her to cry out in fear, a moment that opens one of the most meaningful revelations in the Torah. From this inner turmoil comes a story that shapes the destiny of our people: twins drawn to opposite worlds, blessings that determine the future, and a mother who sees the truth long before anyone else. With the Radak's clarity and the Lubavitcher Rebbe's deeper insight, we explore how Rivkah's fear became the first sign of a divine plan already unfolding. It's a Parsha about confusion that becomes clarity, struggle that reveals purpose, and the quiet beginning of a destiny still alive within us.

Why the Dor Hamabul was destroyed for their sins while the Dor Haflaga was simply dispersed on account of theirs. 

Parshas Noach: The Hidden Truth Our Parsha tells of Noach, a man who remained faithful as the world fell into chaos. After the flood, G-d placed a rainbow in the sky, a sign of His eternal covenant with humanity. The Rebbe teaches that the rainbow was not created anew, but revealed. The flood had purified the world, thinning the darkness so Divine light could finally pass through. What once hid the light now revealed it. The rainbow became a reflection of G-d's mercy and of the light concealed within every storm. In honor of Eretz Yisroel, May G-d protect our brave soldiers and give healing to our nation Dedicated in loving memory of Edward Ben Efraim, Shlomo Ben Edward, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia.
