In this Parshas Beshalach review, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe focuses on the splitting of the Red Sea—the ultimate miracle of the Exodus—and its profound lessons for daily life. The parsha recounts the Jewish people's escape from Egypt, Nachshon's leap of faith into the raging waters (reaching his nostrils before the sea split), and the dry land amid the sea.The rabbi contrasts two phrasings in the Torah: "they crossed in the midst of the sea on dry land" vs. "they walked on dry land amid the raging sea." This teaches that we must recognize miracles even within chaos—the world is always a "raging sea" of challenges, yet Hashem provides dry land (miracles) constantly. Failing to notice open miracles (e.g., recent Israeli survivals despite missiles) makes ordinary miracles fade into routine.Everything is from Hashem: health, livelihood (manna-like), technology (discoveries, not inventions), and survival. We must live with awe—never let miracles become ordinary. Daily mitzvot (Shema, blessings, Shabbos) remind us of the Exodus and Hashem's constant hand. The rabbi urges gratitude for life itself ("life is the miracle, not death") and seeing the divine in all creation._____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 27, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on January 30, 2026_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

The Jewish people displayed immense courage by keeping the Egyptian deity (a sheep) in their homes for four days, teaching us that redemption comes from performing Mitzvos with pride and without fear. The difference between the letters Hey (Matzah) and Ches (Chametz) illustrates how humility allows for teshuvah. The Frierdiker Rebbe's unique approach was characterized by "going big" in actuality and prioritizing material aid to others as a necessary vessel for spiritual influence, rather than starting with rebuke. Amidst the confusion at the Red Sea, Nachshon ben Aminadav taught us to ignore the debates of competing factions and move decisively toward the goal even if it requires self-sacrifice. Biographical stories about the Frierdiker Rebbe, including his grandfather's prediction at his bris, receiving a "Chassidic kiss" (a Maamar) from his father, and being designated as a successor at age 17. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Bo in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1.

***CORRECTED TRANSCRIPT*** Welcome to a special edition of Perek Shira. In the introduction to Perek Shira , it says about David Hamelech, that when he finished sefer Tehilim , זחה דעתו עליו/ He became a little proud, and said, Hashem, is there any creature in the world that says more songs than I do? At that moment, a frog appeared, and told David, אל תזוח דעתך עליך , Don't be proud, I say more songs than you do. I'm involved in a great Mitzvah. On the edge of the river, there is a certain creature, and when he's hungry, he eats me, and that's the Mitzvah that I do. That's the basic message of Chazal. Very strange. What exactly is going on over here? The frog is greater than David Hamelech? What does that mean? The Zohar HaKadosh, in Pinchas 232B cites this story as well, but with a different response from the frog, which is, " David, don't be proud. I do more than you, because I was Moser Nefesh on the command of my Creator. When it came to the plague of frogs, I jumped into the ovens, and I was Moser Nefesh ." The frog actually does sing all day, it's croaks all day. It could be that in the merit of his Mesirut Nefesh, he's the ultimate singer. The Mabit , in his commentary, brings this down as well. The Zohar says at that moment, David Hamelech said this song in Tehilim 131,1 lה' לא גבה לבי, לא רמו עיני, My heart is not arrogant, my eyes are not lifted up . So let us understand, what is this great song of the frog? The sefer Imrei Emet on Parashat Vaera brings down from the Tanna D'veh Eliyahu , that the Hebrew word for frog צפרדע Sefardea , is a contraction of two words, ציפור, a bird , that has דעה , that has understanding . It's Bird because the frog is always flying around, but what is his דעת ? The Imrei Emet says that the ultimate level of Da'at , the highest level of intellect, is when a person is Moser Nefesh , when he jumps into the fire. Avraham Avinu was the one that recognized his Creator, and he was the first one to jump into the fire. What does that mean? The Meshech Chochma in Shemot 35,30 explains something fascinating. The chief architect of the Mishkan was Betzalel Ben Ouri, Ben Chur. And what happens to him? Hashem filled him with all knowledge in the world. Why was he zocheh to that? Says the Meshech Chochma, Mesirut Nefesh . When a person jumps into a fiery furnace, it is the ultimate shutting off of one's brain- not thinking, just trusting Hashem. Hashem says it's right, so I'm doing it. Chur was Moser Nefesh at the Chet HaEgel . He made a protest and they killed him. This is not something philosophical. Philosophically, would you say, For this one second, I'm giving up my whole life and all the things that I could do ? No . The Chasid Yaavetz says that in the times of the Spanish Inquisition, those that were tainted by philosophy did not withstand the test and became Moranos. The simpler people jumped in, because with too much philosophy, you're not going to do it. But, says the Meshech Chochma , that is the ultimate Da'at . The ultimate level of understanding is knowing, I don't understand, I'm going to dive in and do what God says . That's why Chur had a great-grandson, Betzalel , who was so full of wisdom. So, ציפור דעה, the message of the frog is, he jumps in and he is Moser Nefesh , and that's the greatest Shira . Furthermore, the sefer Shem M'Shimon quotes from a sefer Baalei Chayim by Rav Klonimus, that says that the frog did something earlier in history that caused it to merit to be the first creature in the plagues, after the blood. When Nimrod threw Avraham into the fiery furnace, the frogs jumped in and squirted water to try to cool down the fire to save Avraham. Additionally, when Chananiah, Mishael and Azariah questioned whether they should jump into the fiery furnace, they said, " If the frogs did it, surely we should do it." So the frogs are the messengers of Moser Nefesh . The chiddush here is that the song of creation is not necessarily the outward , loud song. Mesirut Nefesh, even in privacy, creates a great song. The Midrash tells us that there were two approaches (Bereshit 71,5) The approach of לאה was called פלח הודיה. She took the unit of praise, and out of her came Yehuda who praised, David Hamelech who praised, and Daniel…all of her children were praisers. Rachel, on the other hand, took the unit of being quiet. She didn't say when the signs were given over to Leah. Her child, Binyamin his stone is ישפה ,. יש פה He could have revealed the sale of Yosef, but he didn't. Esther, who comes from Shaul, and Shaul…They're quiet, undercover people. Whose Mesirut Nefesh is greater? Interestingly, when it comes to the splitting of the sea, Nachshon, who comes from Yehuda jumps in and splits the sea. But behind the scenes we know, that it says, the sea saw something and ran . What did it see? It saw the bones of Yosef. It says, the sea ran away because he ran away, and the sea split. So who split the sea? Nachshon, yes, on the outside. But behind the scenes, the quiet, self-control, Mesirut Nefesh of Yosef did it. As the Rambam in Yad Hazaka , in the laws of Yesodeh HaTorah , chapter 5, Halacha 10, says, that when a person does a sin in public, it's called Chillul Hashem B'Rabim. And he says, But קול הפורש מעבירה, someone that stays away from a sin, and does it, not out of fear, not for honor, but only because God said so, like Yosef HaSaddik, that controlled himself from the wife of his master, this is a kiddush Hashem. So there are two types of Kiddush Hashem. There's a Kiddush Hashem in public, and there's a Kiddush Hashem in private. The Mesirut Nefesh that doesn't make the big, loud noise, still does something. That's the message of the frog. Yes, there are great songs that we hear, but there are songs that we don't hear, of those people that just jump into the fiery furnace. There's a great story that is told over, of a man, Joe, who was a very successful Israeli, the son of Holocaust survivors. He rose from a childhood of poverty, in the mid-80s, and built up a huge, successful high-tech company. One day, his wife called, asking to pick up some meat on his way home from the office. He stopped at a trendy take-out place, to order what they called in, Israel Basar Lavan/white meat, which is code for חזיר, pork. As he stood in line, he began to feel uneasy. He began to remember a story he had heard from his parents. He always knew the story, but now it took on a heightened meaning. Joe's maternal grandfather was Rav Shraga Feivel of Hungary. Rav Shraga Feivel was captured by the Nazis, about a year before the war ended, and imprisoned as a slave in a slave labor camp. After a year, Rav Shraga Feivel was about to be freed. The war was over, and the Allied forces were going from camp to camp, liberating the prisoners. They could already see the smoke of the Allied forces marching their way. Freedom was mere hours away. At that moment, the head SS officer gathered the Jewish prisoners together and announced, The war has ended. In a few hours, you'll be free. All but you, he said, pointing to Rav Shraga Feivel. You must pass one more test. You must eat this piece of pig's meat. Only then will you be allowed to go free. Refuse it, and I'll shoot you in the head right here and now. The tension was so thick, you could cut it with a knife. Rav Shraga Feivel had been meticulous all through his days at the camp, not to eat unkosher meat. He didn't even eat soup, which might contain meat. Rav Shraga Feivel proclaimed, I will not eat chazir-flesh /I will not eat pork. A shot rang out, and Rav Shraga Feivel soul was returned to its creator. And now, 40 years later, Rav Shraga Feivel's grandson stood thinking to himself, I'm waiting in line to pay money to eat that which my grandfather gave his life not to consume? All he had to do was eat that one small piece of pork, and he'd be set free! He'd be allowed to return to his family, yet he wouldn't do it. I have everything. I'm free to live with my family. I have anything I want, yet I'm about to purchase this meat?Either my grandfather was crazy, or I'm crazy. And I cannot believe that he was crazy, thought Joe, as he got off the line and went to buy dinner elsewhere. When he got home, he spoke to his wife about his feelings and the emptiness he had been experiencing. They both had to acknowledge that despite all their material prosperity, a certain spiritual emptiness gnawed at him. They were missing something, but never knew exactly what. They spoke for a long time about values and what is important in life. They decided to attend an Arachim seminar. Joe was enthralled by the seminar. It penetrated the murky mysteriousness of God, Torah, and Judaism. It rocked his world and shook his soul. Who was that Joe? That Joe was well known as Yossi Wallis. He eventually became the CEO of the Arachim organization and built it to a huge movement of Baaleh Teshuva. Tens of thousands of Jews have already come back. We ask ourselves, what did this man, Rav Shraga Feivel, accomplish by dying and not living the rest of his life for that moment of Kiddush Hashem, shutting off his brain? He got a grandson full of Da'at and Chochma . And that's the Song of the Frog. *If you're interested in learning more about Yossi Wallis, there's a book written about him written by Rav Nacan Seltzer called Incredible , a bestseller by Artscroll. Have a wonderful day.

Rabbi Feiner shiurim

התוכן כ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר סיפר פעם ע"ד המאמר שנאמר ע"י הבעש"ט, ובהוספות של הרב המגיד וכו', עה"פ [רביעי דפ' בשלח] "וישב הים לפנות בוקר לאיתנו" "אל תיקרי לאיתנו אלא לתנאו" – שבשעה שאמר הקב"ה המאמר (לבריאת הים) התנה שיקרע הים לישראל, ואם לאו "לא היו נמצאים הימים ולא נבראו במקום הזה, כי יתבטלו ממציאות הבריאה וכו'". ובזה יובן מארז"ל צדיקים עושים רצונו של מקום וכו'. ובזה יובן גם מ"ש רבי פינחס בן יאיר לגינאי נהרא "פלוג מימיך שאני הולך לדבר מצוה וכו' אם אין אתה חולק מימיך גוזרני עליך שלא יעברו בך מים לעולם", שהתנה הקב"ה עם מעשה בראשית שיעשו רצון הצדיקים אף שאינם בטבעם וכו'. וההוראה: יש לדעת שישנו תנאי משי"ב שבנוגע לעניני תומ"צ צריך ההעלם וההסתר שבעולם להבקע! אלא שהבקיעה בפועל היא ע"י מס"נ (קפיצת נחשון לים). וכמו בסיפור של רפב"י נבקע הנהר בפועל גם עבור בני לוי' שלו וגם עבור חמורו, ועד"ז בנוגע אלינו שמבלי הבט על המעמד ומצב שלנו, הרי "בני לוי'" אנו, שהולכים יחד עם נשיא הדור, ונבקעים כל ההעלמות וההסתרים גם עבורנו!ב' חלקים משיחת יו"ד שבט ה'תשי"ז ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=04-02-2025 Synopsis My father-in-law the Rebbe once told a story regarding the maamar of the Baal Shem Tov, with the additions of the Maggid etc., on the verse (in revi'i of Parashas Beshalach), “The sea reverted to its former strength,” and the teaching of our Sages, “ “Do not read it as ‘to its former strength (l'eisano)' but as ‘to its condition (l'tna'o),'” because when Hashem created the sea, He stipulated with it that it would split for the Jewish people – the Baal Shem Tov explains that if the sea would not split, “the seas would not exist and would not have been created in this place, for they will cease to exist in creation etc.” Based on this, we can understand the expression of our Sages that the Tzaddikim “perform the will of the Omnipresent etc.” This also explains what Rabbi Pinchas ben Yair told the Ginai River, “Ginai, part your water for me” for I am going to do a mitzvah, and “If you do not part, I decree upon you that water will never flow through you again” – because Hashem stipulated with the created beings that they would fulfill the will of the Tzaddikim, even if it defies their nature etc. The lesson is that one must know that all the hiddenness and concealment in the world is subject to a condition since the Six Days of Creation that it must split for the sake of Torah and mitzvos. Just that for the actual splitting to occur, one must jump into the sea with mesiras-nefesh like Nachshon. And just like in the story of Rabbi Pinchas ben Yair, the river split not only for him, but also for those accompanying him and even for his donkey – so, too, the hiddenness and concealment must split for us, regardless of our personal state, because we are accompanying the Nasi of the generation.Two excerpts from sichah of 10 Shevat 5717 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=04-02-2025

Finding a shidduch is compared to Kriyat Yam Suf. Many explanations have been offered to clarify this connection. The road leading to finding the right match can be exceedingly difficult, but when that day finally comes, the feeling is exhilarating. It seems that the Torah's depiction of the shidduch process unfolded very smoothly . Avraham sent Eliezer to find a girl for Yitzchak. Eliezer prayed to Hashem. He was answered immediately. Rivka returned with him and married Yitzchak. Yet we see from Chazal that it was not simple at all. Lavan and Betuel did not want the shidduch to happen and they were not going to allow Rivka to go. Eliezer had to make dozens of changes in describing to them the details of what actually happened when he met Rivka. Even after all of that, Betuel still objected to Rivka going, until Hashem Himself had to remove him from the picture. Avraham Avinu, the father of the chatan, was considered a prince in the eyes of the world. He was extremely wealthy. The chatan himself was the best shidduch in the entire world at that time, yet it was still so difficult to bring the shidduch to fruition. This is because getting married and establishing a family of shomrei Torah and Mitzvot is an enormous zechut, especially in this instance in which it was going to be the home that began the entire Klal Yisrael. The negative forces in Shamayim will do everything possible to stop such Kedusha from entering the world. How does one overcome these negative forces? The Shem MiShmuel shares a beautiful insight into how it happened here and how perhaps we could accomplish the same with our own Shidduchim. We know Eliezer was the one charged with the mission of finding a wife for Yitzchak. Chazal tell us Eliezer himself had a daughter of marriageable age. Eliezer was Avraham's top student who helped him bring back thousands of people to Hashem. He was hoping that Avraham would let Yitzchak marry his own daughter, but when he offered it, he was rejected. Not only that, he was then asked to be the one to go find a wife for the same person he wanted for his daughter. He could have easily given up after encountering his first obstacle, thinking to himself, maybe if this doesn't work out Avraham will reconsider. Yet he did everything in his power to bring the girl that Avraham wanted. He understood he was doing the will of Hashem and did it to the best of his ability. He even prayed for it to happen and thanked Hashem when he saw it was going to happen. This was a tremendous act of self-sacrifice He surrendered his own desires to fulfill the will of Hashem . The Gemara says that the previous generations merited miracles because of their mesirut nefesh in sacrificing their own will to do the will of Hashem. The Shem MiShmuel continued and asked why did Hashem orchestrate that Eliezer had a daughter of marriageable age exactly when he was asked to do this job? Why did Hashem present him with such a difficult test? He answered that in order to bring the shidduch to fruition, they needed to bypass all the negative forces in Shamayim trying to stop it. Only a heroic act of mesirut nefesh had the power to overcome them. The zechut of mesirut nefesh can overcome any obstacle. It was specifically Eliezer that was going to be able to get this job done because he would be doing it with mesirut nefesh. The same can be said, b'ezrat Hashem, in all marriages. If there are a lot of roadblocks along the way, it could be because the marriage is going to be so holy, and the kelipot in Shamayim are trying to stop it. An act of mesirut nefesh can overcome them. This, perhaps, is another explanation of how shidduchim are likened to Kriyat Yam Suf. When the Jewish people stood with the water up to their noses, and the midat hadin would not allow the waters to split, it was the great act of mesirut nefesh of Nachshon ben Aminadav that overcame that midat hadin and brought about the wondrous miracle of Kriyat Yam Suf. May we merit to see all those trying to establish a home of Kedusha fulfill their goal very soon.

This week's learning is sponsored by Rhona Fink in loving memory of my mother, Malca bat Avraham v’Sarah, on her shloshim. "My mother was a woman of honor, modest and accomplished, a great listener, who was so proud that I was studying the Daf. And in honor of the Hadran daffers who have been so supportive during my difficult time." Rava recommends that in choosing a wife, one should check out her brothers as it will be an indication of how their future sons will behave, as sons are often similar in behavior to their maternal uncle. This is derived from the verse describing Aharon's marriage to Elisheva who is introduced as the daughter of Aminadav, sister of Nachshon. Yonatan, the Levi who helped Micah in the story of Micah's idol, was descended from Moshe, according to an interpretation of the verse. When the people questioned his behavior and why he worked with idols if he was a descendant of Moshe, he explained that he was taught that it is better to work with idols than to depend on others for sustenance. However, he misinterpreted that lesson as its true interpretation is that it is better to work in a strange job (avoda zara), meaning, even something demeaning, than to take charity. A verse in Chronicles is assumed to refer to Yonatan and indicates that he repented in the time of King David and was given the job of the head of the treasury. Where in the Torah is the source that a daughter only inherits if there are no sons? The Gemara analyzes four different possibilities—two are rejected. Where in the Torah is the source that only brothers who share the same father inherit and bequeath to/from each other?

This is derived from the verse describing Aharon's marriage to Elisheva who is introduced as the daughter of Aminadav, sister of Nachshon. Yonatan, the Levi who helped Micah in the story of Micah's idol, was descended from Moshe, according to an interpretation of the verse. When the people questioned his behavior and why he worked with idols if he was a descendant of Moshe, he explained that he was taught that it is better to work with idols than to depend on others for sustenance. However, he misinterpreted that lesson as its true interpretation is that it is better to work in a strange job (avoda zara), meaning, even something demeaning, than to take charity. A verse in Chronicles is assumed to refer to Yonatan and indicates that he repented in the time of King David and was given the job of the head of the treasury. Where in the Torah is the source that a daughter only inherits if there are no sons? The Gemara analyzes four different possibilities—two are rejected. Where in the Torah is the source that only brothers who share the same father inherit and bequeath to/from each other?

Hashem gives everyone the chizuk they need to pass the test they are given or to accomplish the mitzvot that He presents them with. If a test or mitzvah opportunity would be too difficult for a person to handle, Hashem will give that person the strength or words of encouragement that they need in advance to enable them to handle the test, or to give them the ability to follow through with the mitzvah that He's going to present them with. A young man told me that on the night of the Shevi'i Shel Pesach , he went with his wife and children to eat at his parents' house. At the meal, his father gave a Devar Torah about grabbing opportunities to do mitzvot. He quoted a rabbi who once said to his kehila that at Kriyat Yam Suf , there was a man by the name of Gershon ben Aminadav. Immediately, some members of the congregation corrected the rabbi and said, “No, it was Nachshon ben Aminadav.” The rabbi continued and said, “There was also a man named Gershon ben Aminadav. But at the last moment, he lost the courage to go into the Yam Suf, and therefore nobody ever heard of him. Nachshon ben Aminadav, on the other hand, seized the opportunity to show his bitachon in Hashem and he is remembered forever for the good.” The message was clear, don't pass up on mitzvah opportunities. That same night, this young man changed his plans and instead of sleeping by his parents' house, he and his wife decided they were going to walk home instead. As they were getting close to their apartment, a Pakistani man called to them from his car saying, “A Jew needs help!” They were a little afraid to approach, but the man pleaded saying there was a Jew in his car, it was an Uber. The young man went over and glanced in the back seat and indeed, he saw a Jew there dressed in Chassidish garb. He asked him what he was doing in a car on Yom Tov. The man said he was from Borough Park, then said he was from Williamsburg. He sounded very confused. Then he said he was trying to go to downtown Brooklyn, something that also made no sense. The young man realized he had special needs. He told the driver to call the police, but the driver wanted nothing to do with this and so he kicked the Chassidish man out of the car. The young man wasn't sure what to do next. He and his wife decided to walk with him back to their apartment and they would try to get a goy to call Shomrim. When they arrived back, the wife was a little afraid to bring the man into their apartment with their little children. The young man said he would ask the neighbor's housekeeper to call, but, in general, he had very little to do with his neighbors and was nervous to knock on their door at this late hour. A minute later, the neighbor's door opened. They saw some commotion and asked what was happening. The young man explained the issue. The neighbors said they had just called Hatzalah because someone passed out. He had since woken up, but they were still nervous. He said they would ask Hatzalah what to do when they came. In the meantime, they brought the Chassidish man into their home and gave him something to eat. When the Hatzalah arrived, they went straight to where the man who passed out was. After a few minutes, they said all was fine. The young man then approached the Hatzalah members and asked them about calling Shomrim because he found someone in the street who seemed to be lost. One of the Hatzalah members said he was on Shomrim. They brought him to where the Chassidish man was eating. He took one look at him and said, “I can't believe it. This man was missing for almost two days and no one could find him. Baruch Hashem, you found him.” The young man felt so good that he was able to help here. He told me, normally he is very reserved, and if that would have happened on any other night, he would have just kept walking and not approached the car. It was only because his father just told them, an hour before that, “Don't be like Gershon ben Aminadav,” that he had the courage to go over and help out and do the mitzvah himself. Hashem gives us opportunities to do mitzvot and He also gives us the strength and courage in advance to follow through with them.

When the Jewish people were trapped at Yam Suf , they cried out to Hashem in prayer to help them. Astonishingly, Hashem said to Moshe, Why are they crying out to me? Tell them to march forward. The Ohr HaChaim writes there, “I don't understand. Who else should they call out to if not Hashem? Especially at a time of need, prayer is always the way we get help from Hashem. And even if they already prayed, the rule is, so long as a person has not been answered, he is supposed to continue praying.” The Ohr HaChaim answered based on the words of the Zohar HaKadosh , that at that time the Jewish people had a midat hadin upon them, because they were on a very low spiritual level, still involved with avodah zarah . According to the rules, even with prayer, they were not going to be saved. Hashem told Moshe they needed a zechut that would strengthen the midat harachamim , and that zechut would come if they would go into the Yam Suf with complete trust in Hashem that He would save them. This was not an easy task. Even after Moshe Rabbenu told them what to do, it required a heroic effort of Nachshon ben Aminadav to start the process. And the sea did not split until the water almost drowned them. It was the continued trust in Hashem, despite what it seemed, that gave the people the zechut of that miracle. Trusting in Hashem is an extremely powerful zechut . There are times when people find themselves trapped in certain difficulties, and they are searching for ways to escape them. If the person can get himself to trust that it was all set up by Hashem, and the same Hashem who brought about the difficulty can easily save him from it, that would be an enormous zechut . The person has to feel in his heart a special feeling, that his loving father is in charge, who wants to help him. And perhaps that trust could be the zechut he needs. A man who has a real estate business related, over the past year his business has been declining. Almost a year ago, he lost one of his key tenants, which put him at risk with his mortgage with the bank. This tenant was a very reputable company, which the bank trusted in. And so when the tenant left, besides for the $8,000 a month the landlord would be losing, he was also losing his trust with the bank. Recently his mortgage was up for review, and he was already a few days late with his current payment. It was in the tens of thousands of dollars, and he did not have the money to pay. The one thing that he did have was emunah. He was completely calm about the matter. He knows he made his normal hishtadlut , and it was all in Hashem's hands. He was able to go to sleep every night without any worry. His friends said that his emunah was inspiring. He had run out of people to borrow from, and his business seemed to be in jeopardy of closing down. With steadfast emunah, he continued moving forward every day with his regular schedule. And then the yeshua came in the blink of an eye. He received a check in the mail for $96,000 from the city of New York. And just like that his problems were solved. Two years before this, the city asked him if they could use the roof of his building to put scaffolding on to work on a neighboring building. He declined their requests until they offered a significant amount of money, $8,000 a month. He agreed and asked for a contract. It seemed too good to be true, and when they never got back to him, it appeared it wasn't going to happen. Now, almost two years later, they sent him the contract with one full year's rent in advance. Not only did he make up the $8,000 he lost from that other tenant, he also got a very trustworthy tenant that the bank was happy with, the city of New York. His mortgage got renewed, his business continues to exist, and his emunah continues to get stronger. The power of trust in Hashem is truly wondrous.

Join Geoffrey Stern and Rabbi Adam Mintz recorded on Clubhouse. Nachshon is the posterchild of what Heschel called “Praying with your feet”. He personifies Judaism's clear bias for action over the status quo, action over prayer and even action over reflection. Today we explore the darker side of Nachshon and the potential deficiencies of Action Bias in decision theory.  Sefaria Source Sheet: www.sefaria.org/sheets/539799  Transcript on episode web page: https://madlik.com/2024/01/24/nachshon-and-action-bias/

Imagine waking up from a deep slumber, called to action by a stirring call. That's the role of Chanukah in our spiritual journey - a divine wake-up call akin to the "vekker" in a summer camp that rouses the kids for morning prayers. Let's unpack the unique import of the Hallel prayer during this holy festival, how it stands apart from its recitation during Pesach, and why it's a specific mitzvah for Chanukah. We will also demystify Hallel laws' placement in Rambam's Hilchos Chanukah, illuminating its impact on celebrating this extraordinary holiday.But Chanukah is not just about ritual completion. It's a treasure trove of profound lessons, urging us to internalize its teachings and bring about transformation. Have you ever wondered about the battle between nature and miracles or Tevah vs. Lemaela-min-ha-tevah? We're going to explore that and its relevance to our Jewish lives. Let's journey through the story of Nachshon, his leap of faith, and the ensuing miracle of the sea splitting. We'll discover how unyielding commitment can lead to miracles and drive change even in the face of unimaginable odds. Prepare to be inspired, and let the wisdom of Chanukah guide your spiritual evolution.Support the showJoin the WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!

Yehuda's name includes the letters of the name of God because he sanctified God's name in public. When was this? A braita is brought to answer the question in which two versions are brought regarding the question of who went into the Red Sea first - the tribe of Benjamin or Nachshon the son of Aminadav from the tribe of Judah? Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov explains how the Levites split up - the elders were in between the two mountains and the others were on top. Rabbi Yoshiya says it split between those who were able to work (to carry the Ark) and those who could not. Rebbi has a totally different understanding of where the people stood - he thinks that all the tribes were at the foot of the mountain - some at the foot of Mount Grizim and some at the foot of Mount Eival as when the verse says "on Mount..." it means next to, as is proven from other instances where on means next to. How were the blessings and curses recited? How many covenants were formed on that day? When else were there covenants formed as the ones on that day? There is a debate about what was received when - Rabbi Yismael holds that general rules were given at Sinai and details at the Tent of Meeting (ohel moed). Rabbi Akiva holds that both were received at Sinai and repeated at the Tent of Meeting and then a third time at Arvot Moav. Rabbi Yehuda ben Nachmani said that all the blessings and curses only relate to one who commits adultery. More details of how the blessings and curses were recited are derived from the verse regarding those who stand on Mount Grizim for the blessings and those who stand on Mount Eival for the curses.
