The Kaddish - Answering "Yehei Shemei Rabah" With Kavanah by Rabbi Avi Harari

In this heartfelt episode of Wild Things and Wild Places, host Josh welcomes his dear friend Dave Kavanah, the Chair of the Blue Ridge Chapter of the Muley Fanatic Foundation. Together, they recount the story of a remarkable youth hunt that created lifelong memories for 12-year-old Raven and her father, Jeremy. Raven was at the center of a deeply meaningful trip that included a visit to Washington, D.C., and a two-day hunting adventure in Maryland. With the dedicated support of community members and guides like Jake Shaffer of Branded Outdoors, the trip became more than just an excursion, it transformed into a celebration of love, resilience, and family... oh and lots of fun!  The episode dives into the challenges families face when dealing with life-threatening illnesses, the importance of community support, and the profound impact of creating cherished moments. A touching voicemail at the end of this episode from Jeremy, expressing his gratitude, underscores the emotional depth and lasting significance of this unforgettable experience.

NA'ALEH YOGA: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+ Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...   This practice guides you into an extended alpha brainwave state of complete relaxation, from which your guiding resolve can begin to awaken.

Kavanah means intention and comes from the word kivun =direction.  Your resolve is your truth to yourself, your guiding mission in life, tafkid, your most heartfelt affirmation or prayer.  It is who you are at your highest potential.  Your resolve takes the form of a short, positive statement in the present tense starting with "I am..."  Awakening your resolve in your conscious mind is the gateway to bringing it into reality.  If you're curious to awaken your resolve, this practice is for you.    Episode summary: Intro Preparation: Ensure a comfortable and safe spot before starting this journey, with your body straight from head to toe preparing to relax. Rotation of Consciousness: Journey through a detailed body scan Breath Awareness: Pair breathing with counting as you deepen your state of awareness Calling in your intention: Inviting your sankalpa/kavanah/intention to arrive Externalization: Returning back to the ordinary waking state and taking your practice with you Outro As you emerge from this relaxing experience, I'd love to hear your reflections and feedback.   Music from Nature's Eyes: Simply Meditation Series 11hz alpha binaural waves for relaxed focus   Subscribe to Na'aleh Yoga for more transformative journeys and feel free to share this podcast with a friend.

The episode spotlights the impact of collective prayer, especially during times of shared sorrow, and the role empathy plays in our supplications. It's a reminder of our shared responsibilities and the strength that unity bestows upon us in the face of adversity.Finally, we tackle the complexities of the world through a Talmudic lens, discussing the anticipated response of nations at the time of the Messiah and what it means for us today.

Today's Heavenward Gaze 1389- Praying With No Kavanah by Rabbi Shmuel Braun

Shiur from Rabbi Elimelech Kohn Ztl on פרשת לך לך. Discussed: Understanding the argument between Yitzchok and Yishmael regarding the ideal way to perform Mitzvas Bris Milah. Is it better to perform the Mitzvah as an intelligent thirteen-year-old or an innocent baby? Understanding the story of אחר (R' Elisha Ben Avuya), a great sage who went off the Derech. The Gemara cites the Pasuk טוב אחרית דבר מראשיתו, ascribing the father's wrong Kavanah during the Bris, which affected אחר later in life.

If a person knows that he only if he Davens everything he won't have Kavanah & he Davens less he'll have can he skip anything? If yes which parts can he skip?  If a person can't have Kavanah because he doesn't understand the language should he Daven in English? Should a person Daven at length at the expense of learning Torah? If a person can compose his own Tefilah is that better than davening the standard (more personal & heartfelt when coming from the composer- more than he can relate to Chazal's Tefillos). Where's the source(s) of not talking during davening? If the only minyan he has is one which they talk in is it better to Daven Byechidus? Is it better to Daven with a Minyan without a hat and jacket or B'Yechidus with a hat and jacket? Is there any reason to daven Pesukei D'zimra with a minyan or come to Shul for Borchu? Likewise Kabbalas Shabbos with a minyan or just come for Maariv? Someone who's not dressed properly for Davening but if he waits until he gets his clothing he won't have a minyan should he daven with the minyan dressed as is or wait?  Someone is on the beach with only a bathing suit and it's getting night and he didn't Daven Mincha and by the time he gets clothes it'll be too late to Daven? If someone is traveling and doesn't have a siddur and he doesn't remember all the words of Shemone Esrei just most can he Daven with skipping some words? (Also Tefilas Haderech) Someone is not feeling well and is sleeping should they be woken up to say Krias Shma and Daven before the Zman? What takes precedence if you can't do both Tefillah BTzibbur or Krias Hatorah? A Shul doesn't say Tachnun for no good reason do you have to say afterwards by yourself? That was it says in Shulchan Aruch to give Tzedaka before Davening does this include Tzedaka to non-Jews? with Rabbi Moshe Dovid Lebovits – Author Tefillah with Meaning and many other Seforim – 17:32 with Rabbi Yosef Vigler – Rov, Poseik and Rosh HaKollel of Mayan Yisroel – 41:49 with Reb Alter Rabinovich – Director Keren Tosfos Yom Tov, No Talking Initiative – 1:08:55  מראי מקומות
