What does it take to go from learning Torah to owning your unique chelek in Torah—and maybe even publishing it?In this powerful return to Shtark Tank, Rav Tzvi Goldstein joins us for a deep and practical conversation about writing, editing, publishing, and most of all—developing a personal connection to Torah that lasts beyond Yeshiva.Why your unique Torah insight matters—and why you might not have permission to keep it to yourselfHow Rav Hirsch and Rav Soloveitchik's hashkafos shaped Rav Tzvi's own Torah worldviewWriting as a spiritual discipline: not just for clarity, but for growth and legacyWhat to do before you publish (and how much it really costs)Behind the scenes of editing seforim for Rabbanim and laymen alikeWhy Substack might be the best starting point for sharing your TorahAnd yes—why your writing doesn't have to wait until you're 60Best Quotes“If you really have a unique Torah idea… you don't have permission to keep it to yourself.”“Writing isn't just expression—it's clarity, chazara, and connection.”“Publishing a sefer isn't just about ego or status. It's about celebrating Torah—with yourself, your family, and your community.”Thinking of Publishing?Rav Tzvi breaks down the entire process:Content edit → Copy edit → Proofread → Typesetting → Final read-through → Print or publish online.Whether you go with a major publisher or self-publish, he offers tips, costs, and what to expect—without the smoke and mirrors.For More from Rav TzviCheck out this substack post on the same topicOrder Rav Tzvi's book Halachic Worldviews

Welcome to our daily bitachon class. As our community is reeling from the tragedies that occurred on Shabbat , I'd like to leave our Haggadah discussion for the day. There's a story that's told over that a skit or a play about a certain tragic event during the times of the Holocaust was shown, and people were extremely moved. They all cried and were very jarred from the play. Somebody asked the Brisker Rav , why it was that when people heard about the Holocaust, and how six million Jews died, they were not bawling and crying, but they were bawling and crying from this small skit of what happened. Rav Brisker answered that if you have a very large piano that you're trying to get it into the house, as much you turn and twist, the piano won't get in. But if you have something smaller, you can get it in. This is similar to our brains, which are made in such a way that it has a certain capacity to hold things, and certain things, it just can't hold. Something of with the magnitude of the Holocaust can't be held, but when a smaller snip of a larger tragedy comes by a person, they're able to hold it and process it and that causes the emotions to flow. And when a tragedy of the magnitude where a mother and two children are killed in such a sudden way, the term is used Alah Mavet beChaloneinu/Death has come through our window. The Rabbanim explain that when someone comes into a house, they usually knock on the door. That's the regular way of doing things. Coming through the window means you snuck in. So Alah mavet bechaloneinu/Death came through the window means there was no warning. There was no sickness. Someone was taking a walk on a Shabbat afternoon with their family, and this came out nowhere, and something like that is just too big to process. It's too big to figure out, especially in the early stages, when people are looking for answers. But there really is no answer. It's really just a time for emotion and crying. The Mishnah in Pirkei Avot , Perek 4 , Mishnah 18 tells us Rav Shimon ben Elazar says וְאַל תְּנַחֲמֶ נּוּ בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁמֵּתוֹ מֻטָּל לְפָנָיו / Al tenachamenu B'shaah shemeto mutal lefanav / Do not comfort someone when the dead is still lying there. Rabbenu Yonah explains that because at this point in time, trying to comfort the person is just going to cause anger, and cause the person to say things he doesn't want to say. The Sefer Midrash Shemuel says more than that, B'vadai yimna milhitnachem . He will for sure refuse to be comforted, to accept the will of God. If anything, the person might say improper statements. Nechama means comfort . But as we've said in the past, nechama also means to have a different look at things . Rashi says vayeinachem means God looked at it differently. Nachum Ish Gamzu , said Gamzu l'tova , and the root of his name is Nachum , which we call a reframe , But there are times when there's no place for a reframe. It's too raw and too big for a reframe, and at those times, there is nothing to be said. That's why, quite often Rabbis are put in the position to answer the question, What's going on here ? In other words, Rabbi , reframe this for me. And the answer is, Right now is not a time for that. It's not a time for looking for answers. It's a time to cry. It's a time to stay with this shock and the emotion of what happened and process it and see if it can somehow get inside of you. A lot of times when we're looking for those answers, we're trying to get rid of that uncomfortable feeling of sadness, of confusion, because it's too hard to deal with. So answer it for me. But it's not the time. The sefer Mili DeAvot on that same Mishnah in Pirkei Avot brings a proof from Hashem. He quoted the Yalkut Shimoni in Yeshayah , where it says in Yeshayah 22:12, Hashem calls out to the angels to cry, to bemoan that the Bet HaMikdash was destroyed. And it says Bikshu malachim l'nachamo , the angels wanted to comfort God, V'lo ratza lehitnachem / And God did not want to be comforted. And it goes on to say, Al ta'itzu l'nachameni / Do not try, don't push yourselves not to give Me comfort . It's not the time. That's my little thought for today. I don't feel it's the right time for people to start looking for answers or reframes or comfort. It's too early. It's too raw. It's a time to sit with that emotion of sadness. And although it may sound like it, I'm not coming from a therapeutic approach. This is a Mishnah in Pirkei Avot based on Rishonim . Now, if it sounds like it rings from the world of therapy, that's because Torah was here before therapy, and there's a time for mourning and there's a time for crying. And as uncomfortable it may be to sit with these emotions of sadness and questions, and whatever it may be, that's really what one is supposed to be doing right now. We don't like to cry, but it's a time to cry.

Cours Halakha Time du Jeudi 23 Mai 2024 (durée : 6 minutes) donné par Rav Netanel ARFI.

Doit-on se lever devant tous les Rabbanim ?

5 grands Rabbanim ont passé une nuit entière à Bné Brak à discuter et étudier la Haggada de Pessa'h : Rabbi Éliézer, Rabbi Yéhochoua, Rabbi Élazar ben Azaria, Rabbi 'Akiva et Rabbi Tarfon. Qui était chacun d'entre eux ? Quelles étaient leurs origines respectives ? Tous de milieux différents, mais tournés dans la même direction, à savoir vers la Torah, ils se sont montrés très unis.

  In this episode we look at how perception of reality affects our lives. We also look at how different people have different perceptions of reality. Why do some people pursue brochas from Rabbanim more than others?    We also start looking at how people in the world at large have out of proportion interest in Ancient Egypt.  What are the basic reasons for this?    We also look at the difference between, ‘aitza' and ‘hadracha'.  Nach Yomi: Join R' Wittenstein's Nach Yomi on WhatsApp. We learn a perek a day five days a week, with a nine minute shiur covering the key issues.

In this class we study the history of the Beracha as a liturgical formula and liturgical unit. We examine how the Beracha became the de facto liturgical formula for the Rabbanim and the various stages of its development.

The weekly D'var Torah on the Parsha, this week dealing with the importance of only doing that which our Rabbanim and leaders tell us to do. Based on the Imrei Shefer

Rabbi Robinson is the Rav of Mikor Hachaim in Chicago and Menahel of the Midwest Council of Rabbanim

En rapportant des propos de plusieurs Rabbanim (notamment 'Havot Yaïr ,'Hafets Haïm et Rav El'hanane Wasserman), ce cours montre l'importance du bon sens dans la vie. Il explique notamment, à travers plusieurs exemples, qu'un même acte peut être interdit s'il détruit, et permis s'il construit.

Rabbi Moshe Feinstein is quoted as saying "Being an Orthodox rabbi means being a servant of God and a servant of the community. It is a role of great responsibility and great honor." In this episode, we will hear from one of the great Mechanchim and Rabbanim of our generation; Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz. We discuss his experiences in these dual roles of Educator and Spiritual leader, including the rewards and the challenges he faces on a daily basis. We will also discuss the range of social and emotional experiences that come with being a Rav and how these experiences shape the way he approaches his עבודת הקדש. A big thank you to Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz for sharing his story and experiences with us. To learn more about The Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary check out their website at yu.edu/riets.

TYH Nation PresentsEMUNAH AT WORKWork & FaithJeff Weinberg"As I was working, and as I was trying my best, if I would not be successful in a deal… I would get upset. I would come home, take it with me…. And I heard my Rabbi speak: This isn't how we're supposed to act if we're Orthodox Jews!" Work. Life. Work-life. Work-life-family and work-life-family-balance. Not once is Hashem mentioned here. But of course He's in the picture! But do we let him into our day to day lives? Do we really, seriously, live with the belief that Hashem controls the world, down to every great success, to failed business deal? Is our perception of the world shaped from our narrow focus—our personal understanding of the "ways of the world," really, like most humans, or is it shaped by true Ahavas Hashem and Yiras Shomayim? In this week's episode, we explore one extraordinary man's quest to find out for himself. And later on—his insights illuminating the lives of countless others as well. Enjoy this special episode. In this week's episode, we sit down and host one our most unusual guests on this platform. Ever since the inception of this series, we've been inundated with requests to talk to Jeff, a man who lives with the core values of Emunah at Work, and inspires others every day. Who is Jeff? Jeff is the author of Faith at Work, a book infused with spirituality in work, inspired by his own journey as a mortgage broker. But where does his story begin? Straight from a businessman and entrepreneur, Jeff's quest for truth and discovery, compiling the teachings of Torah giants such as Rav Moshe Weinberger, and lending his own insights and personal experiences, struck a chord around the hearts of Klal Yisroel, and resonates and inspires Yidden around the world. In today's episode, we get an inside look into Jeff's background, what spurred him on, as well as other topics, including the Rabbanim's understanding of the workplace (preview: "When you read his divrei Torah, it's like he's at the office every day!") Powerful vignettes strike a chord with Jews everywhere. We hope you enjoy this powerful episode—and may it guide your future, too.

One of our main jobs on Rosh Hashanah is to recognize that Hashem is our King and He is the only One who runs the world. It does not matter what people say they are going to do, only what Hashem wants to happen is going to happen. Sometimes people speak with such conviction about certain actions they are going to take which inspire fear into their listeners. We never have to fear anyone other than Hashem. Our main goal in everything we do is to fulfill His will. That's our job and Hashem takes care of everything else. We always get exactly what Hashem wants us to get and, sometimes, He makes it very clear that He and only He is the boss. A woman born a non-Jew grew up in a very wealthy neighborhood in a family of extreme wealth. She had all the luxuries she could ever want, but the day came when she felt she had lost her taste for life. Everything was just about clothing, cars and who had a bigger house. She ended up meeting some Jewish girls and was enchanted by their middot and refinement. Eventually, she wanted to convert and although the Rabbanim she met with discouraged her from doing so, she had such a strong will to become Jewish, eventually she did. When she told her father about her decision to convert, he sent her for psychological help and tried many other ways to stop her, but saw he wasn't going to win. Finally he said to her, “I'm worth millions of dollars, but I will make one thing clear. If you convert, I will disinherit you. You won't receive even one cent. No food, no clothes, no money, nothing.” Despite his threat, she was still willing to give it all up and she became Jewish. She enrolled in a seminary in Israel. The school's principal was concerned she wouldn't be able to manage, coming from such a wealthy home. Now, suddenly, she didn't even have enough money to buy a bottle of water or some bread. So he decided to set her up with a family who would adopt her and with whom she could live, providing her with support and care. The family was not well to do, as the husband spent his days learning in a kollel while his wife worked. The first Shabbat she spent with them, they couldn't help but be impressed by her superlative middot and refined behavior. After Shabbat, they said to her, “From now on, our house is your house. You will be like our daughter.” And from that day forward, they truly treated her like a daughter. When she started dating, a fine shidduch was suggested to her, a boy learning in Yerushalayim and, after several dates, they became engaged. But their joy was mixed with worry and stress. She didn't have any money to get married with, nor did the family who took her in. They calculated what the couple would need for the wedding and all the other expenses, including an apartment, and the boy's parents agreed to contribute a certain sum. The girl's side had to contribute the hefty sum of $50,000. The father of this family who took her in went to consult with one of the Gedoleh Yisrael . He told the Rabbi about the girl's self-sacrifice and how she had given up a life of wealth and luxury to become a Jew and dedicate her life to Hashem. The Gadol advised him to go to America and collect for her. He also gave him the number of a person who would tell him where to go to find potential donors. He called the man and got several addresses of wealthy people who might be willing to donate generously for hachnasat kallah . When his plane finally landed in America, he immediately grabbed a taxi, but because he didn't know English that well, he mistakenly told the driver the wrong address. They arrived at a neighborhood with large, fancy homes. When he went to the door of the address he was given, he saw it had a different name. He went across the street but the name on that mailbox was also different. He didn't know what to do. It was very cold outside and snow had started to fall. He started to walk up the street and look for a house with a mezuza . A man dressed in a cashmere coat and dress shoes, talking on a cellphone and walking his vicious dog, passed by him. The dog sensed the avrech's fear and started barking at him. And then, all of a sudden, the dog jumped on him and bit him. Fortunately, he was dressed in many layers and the dog only managed to tear his clothing. The dog owner shouted at the dog, trying to rescue this poor man. “Please don't call the police,” the dog owner pleaded. “If you call them they are going to take him away. This dog is like a member of my family. I'll give you anything if you just walk away.” The avrech responded in his broken English, “I don't live here. I came to raise $50,000 for my daughter's wedding.” The wealthy man pulled out his checkbook on the spot and wrote out a check for the full amount. The avrech couldn't believe his eyes. He took a taxi right back to the airport to wait for the next flight home. When he returned, he told his family about the amazing experience he had. The kallah then asked if she could see the name and address on the check. When she saw it, she turned pale. The name on that check was none other than her own father. She said, “My father told me he wouldn't give me a cent if I converted to Judaism and here he paid for all of my wedding expenses without even knowing it.” Hashem runs the world. It does not matter what people try or say they are going to do. Whatever Hashem wants to happen is going to happen.

Rav Moshe Feinstein, zatzal , writes in his sefer Igrot Moshe , the same way we have an obligation to give ten percent of our earnings to charity, so too a Torah scholar is obligated to dedicate ten percent of his learning to teaching and helping others. When someone takes away from his own learning to help other people, in the natural way of the world, presumably, he will not be able to accomplish as much as he could have had he used all that time for himself. However, when it comes to avodat Hashem, it does not matter what seems natural. Just like when a person gives away his money to tzedaka , Hashem blesses him with more, so too when a person takes away time from himself and gives it to others. Hashem gives that person extra siyata d'Shamaya in his own life and in his own learning. Rav Moshe Feinstein was known to be available for anyone who needed, especially when it came to giving piskei halacha . He attended weddings almost every night, sometimes several times in one night. Yet, he was still able to master every facet of Torah and become the Gadol HaDor . His sensitivity towards other people's needs only gave him more siyata d'Shamaya in his learning. On one occasion, Rav Moshe was meeting with Rav Aharon Kotler and Rav Yaakov Kamenetzky behind closed doors while distinguished rabbis were waiting outside to find out the outcome of the deliberations of these great Gedolim . There were many weighty she'elot that they were deliberating over. Suddenly, in the middle of the meeting, Rav Moshe apologized to his colleagues and stood up to leave. He said he had an important wedding he needed to attend and he dashed out to the car in which his student was waiting to take him there. When Rav Moshe arrived at the wedding, the excitement in the hall rose to a pitch. The posek hador had arrived. Everyone gathered to greet the Rabbi, including the chatan's father. Rav Moshe shook his hand and explained that he came on behalf of the kallah's side. “You merited a truly precious treasure,” Rav Moshe told the beaming chatan . “A wonderful kallah she is, make sure you value her.” Normally, Rav Moshe would wish the people at a wedding mazal tov and then leave, but this time he deviated from his usual custom. He remained there for a long time, giving berachot to all those who waited on the line to shake his hand. Afterwards he danced with the chatan and then praised the kallah with more accolades to him. Just before he left, the Rabbi asked for the kallah to come over to him. He wished her a mazal tov and added his heartfelt berachot . When Rav Moshe and his student returned to the car, the student asked whose wedding was so important that the Rav felt it necessary to leave an emergency meeting with the other Rabbanim to attend. Rav Moshe smiled and went on to relate the story behind it. A few days earlier, a young girl had knocked on the Feinstein's door, pale and hesitant. As soon as she entered the room, she broke out crying, asking if she could speak to Rav Moshe. When she was sitting before the Rabbi, she explained that she had grown up in a poor family from Yerushalayim and had gotten engaged to a boy from America. The wedding was going to be in New York and her family couldn't afford to fly in. They managed just to purchase one ticket for her. “I'm all alone,” she cried. “I have no family here. The chatan's side is going to wonder what's wrong with me. They may even think that my family rejected me.” Then she made a bold request. “Maybe the Rav would attend my wedding? Then no one would care about the absence of my relatives.” Rav Moshe's eyes lit up. “Of course, I'll be happy to come by,” he said. The talmid was impressed by Rav Moshe's kindness. Then he asked why the rabbi stayed and felt the need to personally bless the kallah . The rabbi replied, “I knew after the wedding she would find out that I came. But during the wedding, she may have been troubled the whole time, wondering if I did come, so I decided to reassure her so that she would be happy during the entire wedding.” Look at the sensitivity of the Gadol . Rav Moshe taught us to give some of our time away to helping others, especially when it comes to helping in Torah study. He himself exemplified this principle. We never lose by giving, we only gain more.

Welcome to Embrace Shabbat. In his sefer Daat Chochma u'Mussar (Volume 1, page 130), Rav Yerucham Levovitz cites one of the fundamentals of preparing for Pesach: חייב אדם לראות ולהראות את עצמו כאילו יצא ממצרים - in every generation a man is obligated to regard himself as though he personally had gone forth from Egypt . The main goal on the night of Pesach is for a person to attain the level of feeling they personally were liberated from Egypt. בעבור זה עשה ה' לי - G-d did it for me . All of the preparations and laws of Pesach are to bring a person closer to this goal. Rav Yerucham Levovitz questions why there are so many external acts if the ultimate purpose is just to cultivate a feeling. For example, in the Sefardic communities, there is a minhag to say MiShaarotam . After breaking the middle matzah, the afikoman is carried on their shoulders, questions are asked, and the whole scene is acted out. Can't a person just sit in their house and imagine leaving Mitzrayim ? What is the purpose of all of these acts? He explains that these ציורים - pictures, actions, and images that we create- are extremely powerful in changing us and are therefore employed often in our avodat Hashem . For example, there are many external actions that the Rabbanim would perform to welcome in Shabbat. The Gemara in Bava Kamma 32b says that Rabbi Chanina would go out on Leil Shabbat to greet the Shabbat queen. Rashi states that this is similar to a person who goes out to greet a king. Rabbi Yerucham Levovitz says that these practices seem laughable! Is Shabbat walking in through the back door?! Why is Rabbi Chanina going out to the field to greet Shabbat? It is not a person! Wouldn't it be better for a person to relax in their house and accept Shabbat serenely? We live in a world called עולם המעשה - the world of doing. Chazal teach that through our actions, we come to understand and accept Shabbat. We must go out to the field in order to feel like Shabbat is literally coming into our home. Rav Yerucham teaches that anyone who does not understand this is ignorant of the concept of how to internalize these critical ideas. These external actions prepare our inner world, our penimyut. The Sefer HaChinuch teaches that there are so many preparations and activities on Pesach because our efforts impact us. This idea can be applied to Shabbat, as well. We go out to greet the kallah by Kaballat Shabbat. In our shul, we have a custom to turn around by Lecha Dodi. This can be compared to a person turning around at a wedding to see the bride come in. Some people argue that it is not their custom to turn around by Lecha Dodi, however this is not a custom! People just naturally turn around to see the bride walk in, and therefore we should naturally turn around to see the “bride”- Shabbat- enter; it is not a halacha! The כוח הציור , the power of imagery, is a powerful tool for Pesach, Shabbat, and for so many other critical areas in our life. Going through the imagery and acting things out has the power to change us. Before taking three steps back in the amidah , the Syrian community has a custom to wave to one another. This is based on the fact that during the amidah, we are like angels. (This is why we keep our feet together.) It says: עושה שלום במרומיו , there is peace among the angels . We want to imitate the angels, and therefore we wave a sign of friendship to each other as we are about to start the amidah. That is the כוח הציור . Have a wonderful day, a Shabbat Shalom, and a Chag Kasher v'Sameach. Lastly, a reminder for those who want to give to Lev Chana, an organization which gives cards to needy families that they can redeem in certain clothing stores.

Le respect dû aux rabbanim by Rav David Touitou

**Throwback Episode** We discuss the reasoning behind the Permission of the One Hundred Rabbis document. This class was given at Ahavas Torah of Scottsdale on 1/8/10.

Session 38: Law(lessness) and (Dis)order (Part 4) In this week's class, we will continue dispelling the myth that the Rama's Halachic stances are “more stringent” than those of Maran by gathering dozens of examples where the former deviates from Talmudic Law while the latter upholds it, with a special focus on the permissibility of Rabbanim receiving payment for their services.

With everything happening in the world today, it's safe to say that as religious Jews, question arise as how to correctly deal with the situations faced in contemporary society. There's a podcast called Halacha Headlines Podcast which features a weekly topic drawn from current events. The podcast features a panel of Rabbanim & experts discuss the best way we, as a community can approach contemporary society in these topsy turvy times. It tackles controversial topics head-on, such as current events, shidduchim and dating in the era of corona, the latest Israel Peace Accords, as well as general topics such as vacations, life insurance, buying and selling stocks, police and police enforcement. What makes this podcast unique is that these issues are all explored from a Torah perspective. Halacha Headlines has provided thousands of listeners the ability to approach modern situations and its halachic implications in an educated and sophisticated way. I think this is something everyone should really listen to for themselves. Halacha Headlines podcast is available on any podcast app or you can find it online at podcast.headlinesbook.com. The podcast can also be listened to on Spotify, Google Podcasts, Podbean, or wherever you get your podcasts from.

Thinking about how the lies and exaggerations from President Trump, and those from President-elect Joe Biden have not stood in their way from assuming the highest position in our land, Rabbi Kivelevitz asks Rabbi Bechhofer about Rabbanim that have been similarly caught telling falsehoods about their past that are part of a false narrative of achievement and study.Rav Herschel Shachterunderscores that theIssurei HaTorahthat mentionshekerare concerned with denying a financial debt, falsifying a past history would violatetheMitzvahofVehalachta Bidrachav, asone of the prime attributes of God is Emes.Bechhofer believes that after a sufficient censure-ship period of contrition and humility, the Rabbi who has been caught in this distortion, should be welcomed into the community of scholars and be allowed to rise to prominence and leadership.During the episode, Rabbi Bechhofer referred to his series on theLaws of Lyingand theAlter of Kelm.Viewers can see the presentation here.

Weeks of lockdown, quarantine and social distancing has generated a reexamination of society's dress codes across the gamut of industry, social services and politics.in this episode the Rabbis debate whether a cudgel and chisel should be taken to the firmly established expectations of appearance in the Orthodox world.Rabbi Worch cites the mantra of the Sefer HaChinuch how persons are altered by consistent external actions into elevated noble beings.Rabbi Kivelevitz dismisses the application of the Chinuch's social theory to inherently illogical strictures, and argues for Rabbanim and Talmidim to be revered or vilified due to their behavior, and not beard length or shirt color.He cites Rav Aharon Lichtenstein as a paradigm of a Gadol,lamdan and Tzadik who did not sport a beard even in his later years when he was recognized as the leader of Dati Leumi Judaism,and respected in all corners of the Yeshiva intellectual world.Worch feels that it was precisely due to Lichtenstein's superior mind and moral character that he could dispense with the norms of culture, while the general populace needs to adhere and support what has arisen organically as the expected uniform for the field of endeavor and community a person chooses to be a part of.Kivelevitz feels that Lichtenstein should serve as an example that we should return to a pre World War II model, where the goatees and light colored suits that adorned the Lithuanian Yeshiva students and their Rabbinic mentors, thrived alongside the long beards and severe black frocks of the insular Chasidic community.The loosening of what are often arbitrary demands of appearance,can lead to the incorporation of a much larger swath of committed persons into a unified Klal Yisroel.Please leave us a review or email us at ravkiv@gmail.comfind out more about this podcast fromyeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
