Podcasts about mitzvos

1)       Let's learn a Torah-idea of the Baal haHilula:[1]2)      In the Musaf of Yom Kipur we mention ושני שעירים לחטאת – the additional goat being the one designated by the Goral as a sacrifice for Hashem. We then quote מלבד חטאת הכפורים. It seems like we're mentioning the very same offering twice over:[2]3)      May one hard-of-hearing wear a hearing-aid on Shabbos?[3]4)      What are the guidelines regarding carrying freely on Shabbos within a non-Jewish hotel?[4] 5)      May candles that were made for non-Jewish forms of worship, be used for Mitzvos?[5]6)      I've rented an AirBnB cottage for a week. I will only find out upon arrival whether the stove is ‘induction', in which I will need to buy new utensils. In order to avoid the need for immersing those utensils in a Mikva, is there a way for me to arrange with a non-Jewish co-worker before leaving town,that those utensils should be owned by them?[6]7)       I see on the Esrog-tree an Esrog whose Pitemis totally dried out and brittle. Is it permitted to knock it off the fruit?[7]8)      What is the correct procedure for making a brocho and cutting a whole loaf of bread – in the weekday?[8]9)      Opening cans on Shabbos:10)  Re. Mezuzah affixed with one nail: isn't that the same as תלאה במקל - which isn't valid?11)  Tefilin after Shkiah, even Friday: Ask the Rav (Broin) #25762[1]  לקוטי לוי יצחק על הזהר ח"ב ע'רעז. [2] בנוסחאות עתיקות נמנה רק "שעיר לחטאת",ויש שהוסיפו "שני שעירם" – לכלול השעיר שעלה עליו הגורל לה'. וכנראה שיששהביאו הפסוק "מלבד חטאת הכיפורים ועלת התמיד ומנחתם ונסכיהם". וכברהקשה הנודע ביהודה (מהדו"ת סי' ??; דגול מרבבה בגליון השו"ע סי' תרכא ?)על הזכרת התמיד פעם ג'. והגרש"ק (שנות חיים סי' ) תמה על ההכפלה של החטאות.ובשער הכולל (פ" ס" ) מיישב ש"מלבד חטאת הכיפורים ועולת תמיד"שבכתוב אינן לציווי, והבאת הפסוק היא משום הסיום "ומנחתם ונסכיהם", שהואציווי.[3] ראה פסקי תשובות סי' שאאות כח.[4] ראה שלחן מנחם ח"ב ע' קפא-ב; פסקי תשובותסי' שע אות יג. [5] בשו"ע יו"ד סי' קלט סי"ג מבוארלאסור נר של ע"ז למצוה. ונראה שהכוונה שכבר השתמש בהן לע"ז, כדמוכחבאו"ח סי' קנד סי"א..[6] אי אפשר להקנות דבר שעדיין לא בא לידו. ייעצתישיתן לגוי סכום כסף והוא ילוה לו זאת בחזרה. ואז יקנה הסיר בכסף של הגוי.ואע" שאין שליחות לנכרי, מ"מ עדיין לא הגיע הכלי לרשות הישראל.[7] בשוראה בארוכה ס' אוצר ארבעת המינים מילואים סימןנב.[8] ראה קיצור שלחן ערוך סי' מא ס"ג.​

"Sicha #174: *Parshas Matos-Maasei,* Chelek Chof Gimmul page 214. My body's experience and ability is the deepest expression of Hashem's power. Menachem Av - We bring our father comfort.This week's learning sponsored by 3 individuals!*Chaya Musha bas Devorah Leah* & *Henna Shomer*both in honor of their Yom Huledes - May this learning be a zchus for a shnas bracha, ad bli dai!!* Thank you for choosing these sichos as your birthday gift!Learning sponsored also by *Susan Shapiro* in honor of the yahrtzeit of her mother (my Safta!) *Basya bas Nessa*. May her neshama have an aliyah and endless nachas!_Want to get in on sponsoring? PM me!__*Sicha Summary Notes*_Ever had a moment where you were really *stuck* in your own challenge?In this month of Menachem Av, we comfort Hashem for the pain He is in.There are 2 dimensions of Hashem's pain of being in golus1. *Shchina is with the yidden in Golus.* When we experience our Geulah it is Hashem's Geulah. Our neshamos are always Godly, no choice there, but our bodies - that dont reflect godliness, those Hashem chose! When we are physically (body) in golus, so is Hashem.2. Like a king who said to his servants, if you are looking for me, *I am going to be next to my son.*What is deeper about this that is being added?Differentiation! Jewish Mothers - *we get it!* Where my kid is, that's where Ill be.*2 different situations*The father feels obvious cherishing of the child, bringing nachas! Warm fuzzy feeling, my delicious child, i'm with them! - neshama part of the yid, *nachas producer* , neshama is never affected by the golusRebbe adding! This is also true when it comes to the body. The body does NOT show Hashem. It looks just as coarse as other bodies. Mashal - if you are looking for me, I am going to be with my son. Ya this is my kid, i go with him everywhere he is at. *Hashem is with us in our tumah* . *Essential connection*Only in the Jewish Body (vs soul) do you see the connection of Hashems essence. I'm with my kid. Period.Hashem is ALWAYS with us. Menachem Av - Hashem is here as the father to his child.Level 1 nachas connection - *neshama experience*Level 2 essential connection - *body experience*Taking this even deeper...We also suffer loss, How can we comfort Hashem?The greatness of what the child can do > parentsLike a blue eyed child born from brown eyed parents, the child _reveals a recessive gene his parents have, but did not display._You have incredible power! Show up with all the emunah, all the positivity - WOW! This was always there in Hashem but not expressed until a Yid does this.We have the ability through our physical struggles, we are bringing out a koiach always there in Hashem - that had not yet been brought out.*All of us showing up in Mitzvos, Torah, we are bringing out Hashems “recessive DNA”. there is no such thing as a ME struggle - don't ever feel alone, you are Hashems essence being expressed*. Feel empowered! We can define the golus, tap into incredible koiach, Hashems essence pumping through us. Shift to new approach: Moshiach!"

Are you pressing snooze or snatching mitzvot? In Bilaam's poetic description of the Jewish people, he praises them as those who "rise like a lioness" and "leap up like a lion." This powerful metaphor reveals profound wisdom about how we approach each morning and, consequently, our entire lives.The Midrash explains that this lion-like rising refers specifically to Jews waking with enthusiasm to "lachtof es hamitzvos" – eagerly snatching mitzvot. This isn't sluggish awakening but springing from bed with purpose to don tallis, recite Shema, and lay tefillin. The comparison to lions is particularly apt – these magnificent creatures typically awaken between 5:30-6:00 AM with a powerful roar announcing their readiness for action.How many of us can honestly claim we wake with such vigor? When we press snooze, we're essentially saying, "Thank you for life, but I need five more minutes of death." This seemingly small decision cascades into countless others throughout our day. Successful people don't fight their alarm clock daily; they establish consistent routines that become automatic. Whether rising at 4 AM or 8 AM, creating a set schedule takes just three consecutive repetitions to begin building that "rich man's mindset."While billionaires wake early to build wealth, we have an even greater purpose – serving God from our first conscious moments. That initial choice between discipline and sluggishness determines much about our day's trajectory. "Mitzvah goreret mitzvah" – one good deed leads to another, creating a positive spiral of purposeful living.Ready to transform your mornings? Stop making excuses and start embracing Bilaam's vision of the Jewish people. Wake up like a lion, grab life by its horns, and discover how your first five minutes can revolutionize everything that follows.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!---------------- SUBSCRIBE to The Weekly Parsha for an insightful weekly talk on the week's Parsha.

To have pure motivations,Mitzvos need preparations.Do mitzvos while avoiding praise,And consider what worldly pleasure truly pays.

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

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

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. […]

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
