Praying at Moshiach's Door

BHIs your olive giving oil?

Today on Table Talk with BBYOInsider we are giving an in-depth look at this week's parsha—Parsha Tetzaveh—as part of the Simchat Torah Challenge.

Who Decides: the Moon or the Court From the sanctification of the new month to the building of the Mishkan the responsibility given to the Jewish people to determine time, sanctify space and bring the Divine Presence into the world.(Parshat Terumah)

Rav David Dudkevitch emphasizes the special role of the Kohen Gadol and what that means for us.

Explore the war with Amalek, from the Purim story to modern miracles. Learn why Jewish tradition transcends archaeological discovery and how to recognize Hashem's hand behind the "natural" mask of the world. This session bridges the transition from the regular Torah portion, Tetzaveh, to the special reading for Parshat Zachor (The Sabbath of Remembrance). It addresses the spiritual mechanics of miracles and the eternal battle against the apathy represented by Amalek. https://www.torahrecordings.com/classes/by_parsha/002_shemos/008_tetzaveh/014

Making Space for Hashem

Parshat Terumah 5786 by Josh Rosenfeld

BH Does your Torsh "take up space"?

Partindo de Parashá Trumá e do simbolismo das paredes do Mishkan, discutimos como a conexão com nossos antepassados cria um lar aquecido e por que a educação judaica é um movimento de "olhar para trás" para encontrar o futuro.

Explanation of events and order of Parshiyot based on the debate between Rashi and Ramban

When you give, it's really nothing to do with the thing itself. The thing itself is just the box. The container. What's inside the box is you. You give yourself. The gift is the giving. Receiving is about what you get. Giving is always about giving yourself. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed "Bohemian Rhapsody". His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band "Foreigner" (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, "Feels Like The First Time", "Cold as Ice" and "Long, Long Way from Home". Other production work included "The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars", "The Curves", and "Nutz" as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony's Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University.

This teaching explores why the infinite Creator requests a finite home. It reveals the Mishkan as a vital bridge for the human psyche—providing a tangible source of inspiration and proving that even the most mundane physical matters can be elevated into a sacred sanctuary for the Divine. https://www.torahrecordings.com/classes/by_parsha/002_shemos/007_terumah/006

In this conversation with Michael Rainsbury, head of Lifelong Learning at the London School of Jewish Studies (LSJS), we discuss King Shlomo's leadership style as expressed through the building of the Mikdash (Temple). Shlomo's reign, perhaps the pinnacle of the monarchical period, also underscores the interpersonal and spiritual challenges of national expansion and power. This year the Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftorah.
