… Feeling Don't Care About Your Facts (Ep. 332) Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky Download Sponsor (Yehoshua Sova): I just went through ALL 326 Shiurim at double speed the past few months- GADZOOKS! Been a follower of yours since the Platinum Platonic Relationships tape. Also had to stop running/driving like Rabbis Sharfman/Krohn to prevent any collateral damage deaths due to laughter from the show. I would love to hear the Rav's take on the following: Red Flags I have seen in my life and how YOU can learn from my mistakes. For example:- The unfortunate situations of the ex son in laws- surely there were things that you saw and how we could be protected (besides the people who withheld info). Your Daughters should find their Bashert soon and enough of the pain that they are experiencing!- Psychotic teachers/adminstrators.- Dealing with "real" crazies- not the Rabbi Orlofsky ones!- What was so dark about being a Mashgiach?- Who was someone that you looked up to as a role model and had it dashed and the signs were there for you to see the entire time?The truth is I would love to host you on my TorahAnytime channel and 24/6 channel (I am also not on Naki Radio ;-)) as a podcast interview and this sponsorship ploy I am doing now was actually suggested by you! This opener of questions I always had can be part of a continued list of pressing questions I would love to ask at a later time if the Rav would like to entertain such an idea. Wishing continued Hatzlacha with all of the VERY powerful Divrei Chizuk mixed with great pop culture references and songs! Your Talmid- Rabbi Yehoshua Sova - Miami Beach

The Zohar HaKadosh writes in Parashat Vayakhel that people do not realize how powerful tefillah really is. Tefillah has the ability to pierce through the heavens and open gates that previously could not be opened. Rabbeinu Bachya writes in Parashat Ekev that tefillah has the ability to change nature, to save a person from danger, and to nullify harsh decrees. The Maharsha writes in Masechet Shabbat ( דף קנ״א ע״ב ) that even though Chazal say a person's lifespan, number of children, and parnasah depend on mazal, tefillah has the power to change mazal. When a person prays during an et ratzon, a time of divine favor, the tefillah becomes even more powerful. David HaMelech asked Hashem that his prayers should reach Him during such a time, as it says: ואני תפילתי לך ה׳ עת רצון . The Midrash asks regarding the pasuk that says Eliezer ran toward Rivka: why was he running so quickly? It answers that once Eliezer realized he was experiencing an et ratzon, because Hashem had already performed a miracle for him by shortening the journey, he hurried to take advantage of that special moment and seek even more heavenly assistance. Rashi writes in Parashat Ki Tisa that when Moshe Rabbeinu saw that his requests were being answered, he understood that it was an et ratzon. He therefore continued asking for more in order to gain the greatest benefit from that special time. The Bnei Yissaschar writes that there are angels appointed in Shamayim to bring our tefillot upward, and they examine the prayers to determine if they are worthy. However, during an et ratzon the tefillot do not require their assistance. They ascend directly without scrutiny. The Mashgiach, Rav Yechezkel Levenstein, said that there is no greater et ratzon in Shamayim than when a person overcomes his yetzer hara. This means a person can actually create his own et ratzon and then use it to ask Hashem for whatever he needs. For example, if a person feels a strong yetzer hara to look at something inappropriate and overcomes it, he should realize that at that moment he has created an et ratzon. We have heard many stories about people who were publicly humiliated but chose not to respond and instead gave a blessing to a person in need of salvation. And those blessings brought about salvations. Why does this work? One explanation is that when a person is humiliated, the yetzer hara strongly pushes him to respond with anger. If he overcomes that impulse, he creates such a powerful et ratzon that his tefillot and blessings become especially potent. People are constantly tested—through anger, jealousy, and many other challenges. If we can motivate ourselves to overcome those tests, we can create moments of divine favor that we can then use to pray for what we need. The Keter Shem Tov brings from the Baal Shem Tov that when a person truly feels pain for another person's suffering, that creates an et ratzon. Even greater than that is when a person can genuinely feel happy when another person experiences success. And even greater still is when two people both need a salvation and one receives it while the other does not. If instead of complaining and asking why he was not helped, the person can feel sincere happiness for the other's simchah, that creates an extremely powerful et ratzon. At that moment he can pour out his heart to Hashem and ask for what he needs. Tefillah is always powerful, but during an et ratzon it becomes even more powerful.

In this episode of Meaningful People, we sit down with Rabbi Avi Landa, LCPC, Mashgiach at the Talmudical Academy of Baltimore Middle School, Director of Education for Amudim, and Director of the Landa Counseling Center, to tackle one of the most pressing issues facing children and teens today: bullying. Drawing on his work in schools, private practice, and prevention programs worldwide, Rabbi Landa breaks down what bullying actually is (and isn't), why simplistic zero-tolerance approaches often fail, and how power dynamics and repeated behavior can deeply impact a child's sense of self. The conversation moves from theory to real, practical guidance for parents, educators, and communities: how to respond when your child is being bullied, when your child is the bully, and how empathy-driven intervention and education can genuinely change outcomes. We also explore the broader role of social-emotional learning in building healthier schools and safer communities.

In this bombshell episode, the Mashgiach exposes that "Na'aseh V'Nishma" was not said with regard to the Torah, but rather in response to the "Sefer Ha'Bris." What is this Sefer Ha'Bris and what was this response of Na'aseh V'Nishma?

Was Adam HaRishon jewish and what the world would've looked like had he not sinned.

We are all familiar with the idea of Viduy on Yom Kippur but we probably dont understand the point of it. Rabbi Stark is about to change that.

Rabbi Stark continues discussing the Yud Gimmel Middos and explains how once we recognize we are nothing without Hashem is when Hashem then allows us to tap into being able to achieve "everything".

Ever wondered how to truly maximize the powerful spiritual potential of Elul? Beyond the theoretical understanding of these days as "Yimei HaRatzon" (days of divine favor), how do we practically transform our daily routines to harness this sacred time?Drawing from the wisdom of Moran Goin HaGodel Abenu Yeruchem HaLevi, the renowned Mashgiach of Mir Yeshiva during the 1920s, we discover a refreshingly practical approach to Elul. The secret lies in adopting the mindset found in Talmud Eruvin 54a: "Chatof v'achol, chatof v'ishti" - grab and eat, grab and drink. This world, like a wedding ceremony, is fleeting and temporary. During Elul especially, we must seize spiritual opportunities with spontaneity and courage rather than getting caught in the paralysis of perfect planning.The beauty of this approach transforms how we view our daily spiritual encounters. Morning prayers, opportunities for charity, moments to honor parents, chances for Torah study - these aren't pieces of a complex spiritual strategy during Elul, but immediate opportunities to grab. The teaching reminds us that these 40 days before Yom Kippur represent a spiritual smorgasbord with limited time to partake. Don't wait for the perfect chavrusa or ideal study conditions; seize what's available now, especially the low-hanging fruit of accessible mitzvot. As we move through these days of mercy, may we find the wisdom to grab what we can from this spiritual feast, knowing these precious moments, like Elul itself, won't last forever.What spiritual opportunity will you seize today?

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

The importance of having a mission statement and why "shema" is the Jewish one.

Korach claimed hierarchy's aren't necessary and that Moshe was just advancing his own interests when in reality Korach only started his movement for self-gain and "Nature" itself rejected his policies.

Klal Yisroel is described as Am Kelavi Yakum but the reason why differs from that of similarly named Operation Rising Lion.

Perspective, the key to success in your life's mission.

Its time we all take a good hard look at ourselves and be HONEST about where we are holding.

"If someone tells you there is Torah by the Goyim don't believe them. If they tell you there is wisdom by the Goyim, believe them." What is this wisdom and does it originate from the Torah or is it something else entirely?

The secret of Torah is the actual "magic" contained within which simultaneously changes a person while granting them their deepest desires.

We are Torah. And Torah is us.

How and why proper "self-love" is not just healthy but also the path to true emunah in Hashem.

Although widely accepted nowadays, the Zohar's acceptance came along with more controversy than you might expect.

In the classic song of Bar Yochai there is a line which translates to "when Hashem thought to make Man, he envisioned you (Rebbi Shimon)"—what was it about Rebbi Shimon Bar Yochai which made him worthy of such a compliment?

The true definition of the word "kadosh" is "separate" (as opposed to "holy"). This begs the question, whats so special about being separate?

A relationship can be based upon many different things but if you want it to endure there is one thing which reigns supreme.
