Podcasts about Sefer

  In this episode, we look at why Koheles is a controversial Sefer in Tanach. Chazal weren't sure if Koheles should be included in Tanach, why is this true? Is there a connection in how we understand this issue and the machlokes in Chazal if Koheles was authored with Ruach HaKodesh?    We also look at the basic difficulties people have in learning and understanding the Sefer. I also discuss my personal path and experiences in coming to a solid understanding of the Sefer.

In this interview we explore a crucial document of seventh-century Judaism: the Sefer Zerubbabel, an apocalyptic ‘future history' allegedly written in the past. The Temple will descend, the evil Armilus (son of Satan and a statue) will wreak havok, and two messiahs will arise to redeem Israel.

The mindset of the person who soclcits the Penance from the Beis Din

Perched on our family bookshelf is a remarkable relic of Jewish history: a rare edition of "Nidchei Yisrael" (The Dispersed of Israel) by the revered Chafetz Chaim. Its significance transcends its age and content, primarily due to a profound personal connection etched within its pages. My great-grandfather's name is listed among the patrons who financed its publication, forging a tangible link to our family's Eastern European heritage.Authored by the Chafetz Chaim, this practical guide was intended for Jews immigrating to America during the massive early 20th-century exodus. Despite his initial reservations about leaving Europe, he acknowledged the realities confronting many Jewish families. Consequently, he crafted this indispensable handbook to help them uphold religious observance in their new homeland. The book addresses fundamental aspects of Jewish life—Sabbath observance, kosher dietary laws, family purity, and Torah study—all presented with clarity and accessibility.What truly captivates me is how this single volume illuminates the struggles faced by immigrant Jews. Men often arrived in America alone, sometimes never reuniting with their wives. Kosher food certification, as we know it today, was nonexistent. The powerful allure of assimilation constantly threatened traditional observance. Through this book, we gain a poignant glimpse into an entire world in transition—Jewish communities grappling with centuries of tradition amidst the uncertain promise of American life.Adding another layer of intrigue are the mysteries concealed within our copy. An original donation envelope remains tucked inside, prompting questions about whether my great-grandfather ultimately fulfilled his promised contribution. The Russian script on the cover serves as a stark reminder of its Eastern European provenance. Moreover, a dedication reveals names of ancestors previously unknown to me, extending our family lineage back generations to Dvinsk, now part of Latvia.Graphics DesignedBringing your vision to reality.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Sefer Yonah | Overview, Introduction and Chapter 1, by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom In this opening shiur of a three-part series, we explore the historic background of both Yonah and the Assyrian Empire and its impending conquest of Samaria. We then analyze the first chapter of the story - Yonah on the boat - looking for textual and literary clues to understand the underlying message of the story. More to come...

Sefer Yonah | Chapter 3, by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom Why did the king of Nineveh respond so quickly and so forcefully to Yonah's declaration?  As we continue our study of Sefer Yonah, we note the many peculiarities of the narrative in chapter 3. In only 10 verses, it tells us of Yonah's immensely successful prophetic mission to Nineveh, where his simple cry elicits immediate fasting, mourning and (apparently) heartfelt repentance on the part of the Ninevites. We note the striking parallels between the first narrative - on the boat - and this one and how in each case, the foreign audience (sailors, Ninevites) serve as helpful background players and throughout the story, the real character is Yonah himself. Some of the questions that we have raised will be addressed in the final installment of this mini-series.

The Rebbe clarifies that knowing verses by heart is fine, but establishing a practice of regularly learning Torah Shebichtav without a text is prohibited by halacha (Shulchan Aruch O.C. 49). Torah Shebaal Peh is for oral study, while Torah Shebichtav is meant to be read from a Sefer. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/015/013/5750

Sefer Bamidbar | Pinchas | 5785 | The Meaning of Family, by Rav Ezra Bick Forty years later, the Jewish People are counted a second time. What is the difference in the census this time? One word makes all the difference.

 This week's episode is dedicated in honor of the Magid Shiur of the Daf Yomi Shiur in Kehilas Bais Yisroel in Cedarhurst        In this week's episode, we look at the basic structure of Sefer Yechezkel. Yechezkel is the most clear of Neviim Achronim. Why is this true? Similarly, we find a number of Prophecies repeated almost identically in the Sefer, why does this happen? What is the basic difference between the first part and the second part of the Sefer? Similarly what does having his mouth, ‘opened', teach us about the Sefer?  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.

Sefer Bamidbar | Balak | 5785 | The Nature of Bilam's Prophecy, by Rav Ezra Bick Why do we need to know what Bilaam said to Balak? What is the significance of the entire story of Balak's failed plan to enlist Bilaam to curse Israel?

  This week's episode is dedicated in honor of the Magid Shiur of the Daf Yomi Shiur in Kehilas Bais Yisroel in Cedarhurst   In this episode we look at the very basic challenges we have today truly waiting for Moshiach. Why weren't we challenged by this in the past the way we are today? Similarly we take a quick look at the second part of Yeshaya that deals with these issues. How many parts are there in this part of Yeshaya? Why does the Sefer have so many thematic changes?  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.

Sefer Bamidbar | Chukat | 5785 | Taking Initiative, by Rav Ezra Bick What's the difference between the first generation in the midbar and the second? Three short incidents in the middle of the Parasha define the change in the Jewish people after thirty years.

This week's episode is dedicated in honor of the Magid Shiur of the Daf Yomi Shiur in Kehilas Bais Yisroel in Cedarhurst    In this week's episode we look at the issue of the Authorship of Yeshaya.  The second part of the Sefer has a very different set of topics it deals with. Why is this true?   Similarly, this issue used to be heavily discussed and was a live issue. Today the discussion about this issue is quite limited. Why is this true?    We also take another look at the bitachon challenges that the recent Iranian conflict brought out. And also examine some of the comments that have been circulating.  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.
