Rabbi Stark continues discussing the Yud Gimmel Middos and explains how once we recognize we are nothing without Hashem is when Hashem then allows us to tap into being able to achieve "everything".

The Mashgiach continues with his explanation of the Yud Gimmel Middos.

Today he is a senior faculty member at Ohr Somayach in Jerusalem. An accomplished author and lecturer, Rabbi Gottlieb has electrified audiences with his stimulating and energetic presentations on ethical and philosophical issues. In Jewish Philosophy with Rabbi Dr. Gottlieb, we are invited to explore the most fascinating and elemental concepts of Jewish Philosophy. https://podcasts.ohr.edu/ podcasts@ohr.edu

The Mashgiach explains the secret behind the Yud Gimmel Middos and the relationship which they extend from.

Two things to note: (1) Unlike most other Tishah b'Av shiurim I've given, I don't think there are any chidushim (novel insights). Instead, I decided to focus on the basics. (2) Towards the beginning of the shiur, we read dthrough the kinnah in Hebrew and English. Unfortunately, the person reading the English was sitting far away, and since I was recording on my phone, I don't know if it's audible. No matter, since I recap the refrain, which is what we focused on.-----Since this week's Torah content hasn't been sponsored, I'll use it as a reminder about where to find my stuff.

Torah and Tefilah by Rabbi Avi Harari

The Halacha below was derived from multiple classes orated by Rabbi Eli Mansour in the Bekiim B'Halacha series. Click on any of the dates below to hear the original audio files, which are the sources for today's Halacha below. 05-25-2025 05-26-2025 05-27-2025 05-28-2025 05-29-2025 How and When Should Tefillin Be Removed? This Halacha outlines the proper time, manner, and mindset for removing Tefillin, and the importance of not treating the end of the Misva as an afterthought. Topics include the order in which the Tefillin are removed, whether one should face the Sefer Torah while removing them, if a blessing is recited, how to handle the straps, and how to place the Tefillin back into the Kuracha —the special Tefillin bag. Special customs from the Mekubalim regarding reverence and silence during removal are also addressed. What Is the Proper Time and Setting to Remove Tefillin? Tefillin should ideally be worn until the end of Tefilah. According to the Ari"zal, one should keep the Tefillin on through the end of Aleinu Leshabeah , and only remove them afterward. Some Poskim allow removing them after Uva Letzion , but the more proper custom is to keep them on until the very end of Tefilah. This ensures we do not treat the conclusion of the Misva as insignificant. Additionally, one should not remove Tefillin while standing directly in front of a Sefer Torah. Doing so shows disrespect, as if turning one's back on the Torah. Instead, one should take a few steps to the side or angle themselves away. The act of removing the Tefillin should be done with quiet dignity, not rushed or distracted. The removal should also be delayed if Kaddish or Kedusha is about to begin. One must prioritize answering to these sanctified sections before beginning to take off the Tefillin. What Is the Correct Order for Removing the Tefillin? First, remove the Tefillin Shel Rosh, and only then the Shel Yad. This reflects the same order in which the Berachot are made and preserves the order of importance. The head Tefillin represents a higher level of Kedusha and is treated with extra care. According to the Zohar and the custom of the Mekubalim, even though the Shel Yad was put on first, the Shel Rosh must be taken off first to preserve the sanctity. Removing them out of order is considered improper. Some have the custom to pause briefly before removing the Shel Yad to reflect on the Misva and end it with thoughtfulness, not mechanically. Should One Say a Beracha When Removing Tefillin? A question arises whether one should recite a blessing upon removing the Tefillin, to thank Hashem for the opportunity to fulfill the Misva. The answer is no—there is no blessing recited upon removing Tefillin, just as there is no Beracha when exiting a Suka or finishing a fast. The Misva ends silently, respectfully. However, one should have a feeling of gratitude in their heart, recognizing the privilege of having worn Tefillin and asking Hashem to merit to wear them again. Should One Talk While Taking Off Tefillin? Just like during the donning of Tefillin, the removal should be done with seriousness and respect. One should not talk during the process, and ideally one should remain seated, focused, and silent while removing and storing the Tefillin. The Kabbalists stress that removing Tefillin is still part of the Misva, not a break from it. A person should not transition to regular speech or casual behavior until the Tefillin are completely removed and put away. How Should the Tefillin Be Stored After Removal? After removing the Tefillin, one should take care to store them neatly and respectfully. The straps should be gathered carefully—not tangled or stuffed haphazardly. Each component should be placed gently into the Kuracha , the dedicated Tefillin bag. The Kuracha serves not just as a case, but as a vessel of honor. It should be kept clean, closed securely, and not treated like a casual container. It holds sacred items and should be handled with care. One should avoid winding the straps in a sloppy or rushed manner. Although the special wrapping (to form the Name of Hashem) is only done when donning the Tefillin, even when putting them away one should show respect and care. Summary Tefillin should be worn through the end of Tefilah, preferably after Aleinu . When removing them, one should avoid facing the Sefer Torah, remove the head Tefillin first, and not speak during the process. There is no blessing upon removal, though gratitude should be felt. After removal, the Tefillin should be stored with care and placed respectfully into the Kuracha . All of this reflects the great respect we must show for this precious Misva from beginning to end.

Some thoughts on the limited, philosophical approach to prayer vs. the mystical approach to prayer

Taanis Esther is one of many fasts we keep, but something feels different about it compared to all other fasts. Rabbi Stark dives into the mystery of, and reason for, Taanis Esther.

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of The Chai on Life Podcast. I'm Alex Segal and today, I'm speaking with Rebbetzin Sarah Feldbrand. She is a former principal of adult education programs in the U.S. and Canada and has taught Jewish philosophy and history for decades. Her teaching evolved into 40 books on Jewish philosophy and history as well as biographies, and historical fiction for adults and children. Currently the Rebbetzin is the moderator of a Mechanchos Forum and also provides Torah counseling via email at asktherebetzin@gmail.com.We decided to focus on her two volume series called Towards Meaningful Prayer and really get into some of the common issues women have when it comes to connecting to tefilah and how to solve them.Prayer is something that hopefully we all do everyday. Because it's every day it has the power to connect us like nothing else but also because it happens every day it can become rote or something we do quickly to then get on with our day versus a mitzvah that only comes one time a year.We all know prayer has immense power but sometimes it's just hard to seize that — you may feel like you're lacking in connection. So in this conversation, we speak about why davening and prayer is such a powerful tool for women, how to change your practice if things are feeling rote or uninspired, how your mindset has everything to do with tefilah and how to set yourself up for success mentally, which prayers specifically may help you connect more deeply and so much more.If there is someone you want to see on The Chai on Life Podcast, email me at alex@chaionlifemag.com or send me a DM @chaionlifemag. Thanks again, see you next week!

There are moments when certain prayers are תְּפִלּוֹת שָׁוְא. This is not one of them!

Now that we understand how Yaakov is the synthesis of the middos of Avraham and Yitzchak, the questions is how does one practically apply this concept.

During these parshiyos, where we discuss the avos and their introduction of tefilah, the Mashgiach explains that the connection goes much deeper than you may think.
