Podcasts about mitzvos

In this shiur, delivered in Ba'er Miriam, Rav Burg explains the inner connection between the Mitzvos of Mila and Kesuba. It is far easier to cut something or someone off than it is to create unity with someone who is your polar opposite.

Taking Money for Mitzvos (Bamidbar 5785)

Taking Money for Mitzvos (Bamidbar 5785)

By Sara Blau

The paradox of mitzvos; are they about submission to the incomprehensible? Or are we meant to integrate Torah's perspective into our lives? In this class we examine the Rambam's assertion that all mitzvos serve to improve us, alongside his acknowledgement that some remain beyond human understanding. By analyzing all of his relevant works, we gain a clear picture that we can apply to our daily lives.

We Run the World Through Our Torah and Mitzvos (Behar-Bechukosai 5785)

The law with transactions and acquisitions is that one cannot sell something that does not exist. Thus, one can only sell produce that is physically around. However, when you buy a tree, then you get to own the future fruits. The law is different when it comes to Hekdesh ( donations to the Bais HaMikdash) and Tzedaka, where a future commitment for a yet non existent item, although it doesn't become holy, remains a mitzvah for you to keep your word. This translates into our service of Hashem. The tree represents the person himself, his mind and heart. This is someone who completely transforms himself and makes a transaction subjugating himself to Hashem. This guarantees that the future fruits-meaning his “ behavior” will be for Hashem. Then you have somebody else who didn't change himself, but commits his actions. “his fruits“ to Hashem. That is a good transaction, but he cannot commit his future fruits (behavior), because we don't yet know the outcome. This concept refers to the daily, mundane transactions such as eating, sleeping and working which he should be doing for the sake of Heaven. These actions cannot be guaranteed for the future. However, when it comes to Hekdish- holy things like Torah and Mitzvos - then if the person commits, then it's a mitzvah to keep his word, and Hashem will help him do it.לקו״ש כז-א

Something dramatic happens when the Soul is fed. It is empowered and its place in a person's identity is augmented, and concurrently the Yetzer Hara's influence is weakened. A virtuous cycle results wherein one Mitzvah makes the second Mitzvah more likely. Initially, the Mitzvos need to be force-fed like feeding a patient who refuses food. […]

The Rebbe advises turning to a local observant rabbi for a Torah ruling on a legal matter tied to state law. He sees the question as Divine Providence and encourages the writer to strengthen their connection to Chassidus, Torah, and mitzvos, which bring Hashem's blessings. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/015/008/5412

TThe Rambam in the Mishneh Torah on the correct hashkafah re: Korbanos and other Mitzvos that make no sense. The remarkable anguish of King David re: such matters

Matzah is a tricky food. It is made with the same ingredients as bread ; the only difference is the speed of how they are processed. The Torah tells us that we must guard the matzos to prevent them from turning into chametz. Our sages tell us that this applies not only to matzos, but also to The thing that is spelled the same way in Hebrew, Mitzvos. Mitzvah opportunities come as dough that needs to be baked. If you stick around and wait for too long, the dough will leaven and the opportunity will sour. When a Mitzvah opportunity strikes, you mustn't tarry even for a moment. In this special Yartzeit podcast, I share a remarkable story about my grandfather Rabbi Shlomo Wolbe's fulfillment of this idea.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

Chassidus Morning Class: This class is the second in a series on the Maamar (Chassidic discourse) Zos Chukas Hatorah, presented by the Lubavitcher Rebbe at the Farbrengen of Shabbos Parshas Vayakhel-Pekudei, Parshas Parah, 23 Adar, 5721, March 11, 1961. This text-based class by Rabbi YY Jacobson was presented on Thursday, 20 Adar, 5785, March 20, 2025, Parshas Vayakhel, Parshas Parah, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. The class explores a deeply enigmatic Midrash comparing the two Mitzvos of Pesach and the Red Cow to two queens of whom we do not know who is greater. We continue to discuss why the only labor specified in the Torah not to do on Shabbos is igniting a fire, and the meaning of Moshe comparing Hashem to a "consuming flame." We explain what is the wick that channels the Divine flame and light into our world and how surrender is the key to the fire burning in our consciousness and our universe.

The Parsha says that Moshe gathered all the Jewish people together to teach them Hilchos Shabbos. What was unique about Shabbos that it was singled out more than the other Mitzvos to be taught in this matter, and what can we learn from it?Have a wonderful Shabbos

התוכן [המשך] וההוראה: כאשר אדם רואה שרוב היום הוא עסוק בשאר צרכיו ורק מיעוטו הולך לעניני תומ"צ, וגם זה רק מגיל בר-מצוה, ושואל מדוע לא נולד מחוייב במצוות, ושיצטרך לעסוק רק בתומ"צ?! אומרים לו: "כל העולם כולו לא נברא אלא לצוות לזה", קריאת המגילה לא מתחילה עם "ליהודים היתה אורה – זו תורה", אלא דוקא ב"ויהי בימי אחשורוש .. המולך מהודו ועד כוש", ודוקא זה הביא ל"ונהפוך הוא"! וכך יהי' אפי' בימות המשיח: גם אז יהי' לא רק הקב"ה תורה ובנ"י, אלא גם "זרים", אלא שכל מציאותם תהי' טפילה לבנ"י. והעיקר – בנוגע לעבודתנו בהווה: אין להבהל מזה שכללות עם ישראל הוא מיעוט קטן, כי מה שחשוב זה לא הכמות אלא האיכות – הקשר עם מקור החיים וכו'. ודוקא לאחרונה התגלה דוגמא לזה שגם בכמות קטנה יכולים להיות גנוזים כחות עצומים של איכות וכו'.משיחת פורים ה'תשכ"ה ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=14-03-2025 Synopsis (Continued.) The lesson is that when a person sees that most of his day is occupied with his other needs, and only a small portion is dedicated to Torah and mitzvos – and moreover, for a numbers of years he wasn't even obligated to keep Torah and Mitzvos , he may ask: Why wasn't I born obligated in mitzvos, and why wasn't I created in such a way that I only have to engage in Torah and mitzvos? The answer is that, “The entire world was created only to serve as companions for him”; the Megillah reading doesn't begin with “For the Jews there was light – this refers to Torah,” but with “And it came to pass in the days of Achashverosh… who ruled from Hodu to Kush.” And it was specifically this led to “it was reversed.” And this will apply even in the days of Moshiach: Even then, there will exist “strangers standing and pasturing your sheep” and planting and sowing etc. – but their entire existence will be secondary to the Jewish people. The main lesson is regarding our service in the present era: One should not be alarmed by the fact that the Jewish people are a small minority in the world, because what matters is not quantity, but quality – the connection to the Source of Life etc. And as we see specifically in recent times how even something very small can contain tremendous power etc.Excerpt from sichah of Purim 5725 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=14-03-2025 לע"נ הת' אורי ניסן ע"ה בן - יבלח"ט - הרב מנחם מענדל שי' גורארי', ליום היארצייט שלו י"ד אדר. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.

Yud-Alef Adar (22:56)

In this shiur, delivered in Ba'er Miriam, Rav Burg explains (based on the Kedushas Levi) why the Aron containing the Luchos is mentioned twice and why the rods in the Aron were not allowed to be removed. The Luchos represent the essence of our relationship with Hashem. Sometimes our Yiddishkeit can feel disjointed. Mitzvos may feel like they stand alone, separate from our mission to be Davek to Hashem. The Aron must be portable, revealing the essence in every single Mitzvah.
