Podcasts about tzion

In this dynamic conversation with Dr. Elana Stein Hain, we explore the evocative images utilized by the prophet in this week's Haftarah (Yeshayahu 49-51). We flesh out how they are used to describe the depths of Tzion's feeling of abandonment and the ways God promises to bring us back to the land and remain His nation. This year the Matan Podcast is studying the weekly Haftarah reading.

B”H If you're married — or if you ever plan to be, which I hope you do — today's conversation is a must-listen. I'm in conversation with  Rabbi Ben Tzion Shafier of Lakewood, New Jersey — author of Ten Really Dumb Mistakes That Very Smart Couples Make. You might know Rabbi Shafier already from TheShmuz.com, or from some of his books. Today we bring you an incredibly practical, eye-opening conversation. Here's something you've asked many times and Rabbi Shafier addresses head on: Whose responsibility is it to provide financially for the family? And what about when the husband is in kollel?  Rabbi Shafier also boils the 10 Really Dumb Mistakes that very smart couples make down to just two. And trust me, you've probably made them. We get into the one thing that causes every single fight in marriage. Spoiler: it's not money. The three pillars of a successful marriage. The two most important words in marriage. And ladies, the one thing that will absolutely shatter your husband. (So you can avoid it!) We discuss the role of financial provision and the role of managing the finances — and who should really be doing what. The answer may surprise you. And if you want to improve communication with your spouse, Rabbi Shafier gives you the exact question to ask yourself before you speak — plus the acronym that will transform your shalom bayit (and honestly, every relationship in your life). Here's Rabbi Ben Tzion Shafier. The post 456: The 2 Dumb Mistakes Smart Couples Make, & Why Money Isn't the Problem with Rabbi Ben Tzion Shafier appeared first on Yael Trusch.

Welcome to Daily Bitachon, we are now in our Sha'ar HaBechina series, going through the different types of creatures. We started with the fish, and now we move on to the creeping creatures and insects. They all possess a specific design and form; while birds utilize hollow bones for flight, insects utilize an external armor that provides structural integrity while remaining nearly weightless. The Engineering of the Exoskeleton This exoskeleton is made of chitin, a fibrous substance that is incredibly durable yet flexible. This design provides a massive surface area for muscle attachment, giving insects superhuman strength relative to their size. An ant can carry 50 times its body weight because its external frame distributes the load far more efficiently than an internal skeleton would. This is something very interesting—and sorry to get gory—but that is why when you step on a cockroach, you hear a "crunch." Its bone is on the outside, not the inside. Furthermore, the exoskeleton is coated in a microscopic layer of wax, which prevents the insect from drying out, allowing it to survive in harsh, arid environments where other creatures would perish from dehydration. One significant limitation of an exoskeleton is that it cannot grow along with the animal because it is a rigid shell. Eventually, the animal becomes too big for its armor. To grow, the animal must undergo the process of molting, where it secretes enzymes to loosen the old shell, crawls out of it, and waits for a new, larger exoskeleton—formed underneath—to harden. During this time, the animal is soft and highly vulnerable to predators. Many insects, such as ants, beetles, bees, and grasshoppers, go through this molting, as do spiders, scorpions, crabs, lobsters, centipedes, and millipedes. The Divine Purpose of the Purposeful Let's pause on this for a moment. Midrash Tehillim 18:12 records an episode where Eliyahu HaNavi met the great Tana, Rav Nehorai, and asked him: "Why did God create these crawling creatures?" Rav Nehorai answered: "Because when Hashem sees that the people are sinning, He looks down and says, 'Why am I keeping these people going? They are sinners; there is no purpose for them.' But then God looks at the sheratzim , these crawling creatures, and says, 'I am keeping these creeping creatures alive and they seemingly have no purpose. The Jewish people might be sinning now, but eventually they will do teshuvah , so I should surely keep them in the world until they turn around and something special comes of them.'" In this way, the sheratzim cause Hashem to have mercy and patience with the Jewish people. The Chida writes that this adds special weight to the Torah's prohibition against eating insects. If a Jew eats an insect, the insect provides nutrition, thus negating the claim that insects have no purpose. This, in turn, would dismantle Hashem's argument for maintaining the sinning Jewish people in the world. Ironically, insects serve a vital role in Hashem's plan precisely as the epitome of a creature that seems to have no purpose. They are what He points to when He needs to find merit for His erring nation. In Perek Shira , the song of the sheratzim is: "Let Israel exalt in its Maker, let the children of Tzion rejoice in their King." This adds even more impact to the mercy God has on these insects—that He provided them with this exoskeleton, a layer of wax, and the ability to molt. Advanced Sensory Systems Many insects also possess a 360-degree camera. Unlike the human eye with a single lens, many insects have eyes with tens of thousands of hexagonal lenses, providing an unbelievable panoramic view. Another fascinating detail is the way their eyes process motion. We see fast motion as a continuous blur, but a fly sees the world in slow motion. That is why it is so difficult to swat a fly; to the fly, your hand is moving in slow, predictable intervals. Look how God is protecting even the fly! Finally, insects fly differently than birds. While birds have nerve impulses that tell muscles to beat, many insects use a single nerve impulse to trigger a vibration that causes the wings to beat hundreds of times a second. This is just a brief opening to the general topic of insects before we dive deeper.

התוכן [המשך] והראי' שהגאולה ותחיית המתים אכן תהי' בפועל באופן דאתהפכא ("עוד ישבו זקנים וזקנות ברחובות ירושלים"), אף שאין הכרח בדבר, היא "עכשיו שנתקיימה נבואתו של אורי'" ש"ציון שדה תחרש": אף שבחורבן בית שני לא נשאר כלום מהבית כ"א העצים והאבנים (דלא כבחורבן בית ראשון) –"ציון שדה נחרש", אבל רק על ידי זה, שלא נשאר אפי' היסוד של אבנים אלא זה נחרש, נעשה זה מקום ראוי לזריעה ולצמיחה. ומזה הוכיח שהגאולה הולכת בכיוון של אתהפכא. ואע"פ שזה מובן מהנבואה של "עוד ישבו זקנים וגו'" כשלעצמה, אבל מצינו שמצד סיבות (כמו הענין ש"הי' בידיהם למחות ולא מיחו", כמו שהי' בתקופת חורבן בית ראשון) יכולה לא להתקיים גם נבואה לטובה, משא"כ כשקיום הנבואה מתחיל בפועל. וכיון שישעי', שאמר "ואעידה לי עדים נאמנים את אורי' הכהן ואת זכרי' בן יברכיהו", עשה מב' הנבואות – נבואה אחת (כמו ב' עדים שמעידים על ענין א'), ו"ציון שדה תחרש" התקיים בפועל, מוכח שגם יתקיים המשך הנבואה – "עוד ישבו זקנים וגו'" – גאולה באופן של אתהפכא. וזה בא ע"י שגאולה הפרטית דכאו"א בעבודתו היא באופן של "אתהפכא".ב' חלקים משיחת יו"ד שבט ה'תשכ"ה ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=07-08-2025 Synopsis (Continued.) The proof that the Redemption and Techias Hameisim will indeed take place in a manner of transformation (“There will yet be elderly men and elderly women sitting in the streets of Yerushalayim”), even though it doesn't necessarily have to happen that way, lies in the fact that “the prophecy of Uriyah has been fulfilled,” that “Tzion was plowed like a field”: In the destruction of the second Beis Hamikdash, nothing remained of the structure except wood and stones (unlike the destruction of the first Beis Hamikdash), but it was only because it was razed to the foundation and plowed that the place became fit for sowing and growth. Fron this Rabbi Akiva proved that the Redemption will take place in a manner of transformation. Although the prophecy itself also alludes to transformation (“There will yet be elderly men and elderly women…”), however, we find that due to certain causes (such as the fact that “it was in their power to protest and they did not protest” at the time of the destruction of the first Beis Hamikdash) it is possible for even a positive prophecy to potentially not be fulfilled. But this doesn't apply when the fulfillment of the prophecy has already begun physically. Therefore, since Yeshayahu, who said “And I will take to Me faithful witnesses: Uriyah the Kohen and Zecharyah the son of Yevarechyahu” combined the two prophecies into one (like two witnesses whose testimony become one), when Rabbi Akiva saw that “Tzion was plowed like a field” in actuality, he knew that the continuation of the prophecy, “There will yet be elderly men and elderly women...” would be fulfilled – Redemption in a manner of transformation. This comes about as a result of every individual's redemption in their personal divine service being in a manner of transformation.2 excerpts from sichah of Yud Shevat 5725 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=07-08-2025 לזכות ר' זאב הכהן וזוגתו מרת פריידא הינדא שיחיו טייטלבוים ליובל החתונה שלהם ביום חמשה עשר באבלברכה והצלחה בכל הענינים ‏בגו"ר

התוכן איתא בסיום מס' מכות: "כבר הי' ר"ג וראב"ע ור"י ור"ע מהלכין בדרך .. כיון שהגיעו להר הבית ראו שועל שיצא מבית קדשי הקדשים התחילו הן בוכין ור"ע מצחק .. אמרו לו מקום שכתוב בו והזר הקרב יומת ועכשו שועלים הלכו בו ולא נבכה, אמר להן לכך אני מצחק דכתיב ואעידה לי עדים נאמנים את אורי' הכהן ואת זכרי' בן יברכיהו, וכי מה ענין אורי' אצל זכרי' .. אלא תלה הכתוב נבואתו של זכרי' בנבואתו של אורי', באורי' כתיב לכן בגללכם ציון שדה תחרש בזכרי' כתיב עוד ישבו זקנים וזקנות ברחובות ירושלים, עד שלא נתקיימה נבואתו של אורי' הייתי מתיירא שלא תתקיים נבואתו של זכרי', עכשיו שנתקיימה נבואתו של אורי' בידוע שנבואתו של זכרי' מתקיימת בלשון הזה. אמרו לו עקיבא ניחמתנו עקיבא ניחמתנו". ראי' זו שהביא ר"ע אינה על עצם ענין הגאולה ותחיית המתים, שה"ז מפורש בתושב"כ, אלא על אופנה: שהרי תחיית המתים כשלעצמו הי' יכול להיות באופן (רק) כמו שהי' בג"ע לפני החטא – ביטול ענין המיתה, ו(במילא) יקומו מלכתחילה בריאים וחזקים. אבל מנבואת זכרי' "עוד ישבו זקנים וזקנות ברחובות ירושלים" מוכח שאז יהי' חידוש נעלה יותר שאינו מוכרח – הענין דאתהפכא, שיקומו באופן של "זקנים וזקנות" והם יהיו חזקים עד ש"ישבו .. ברחובות ירושלים" (לא כדרך זקנים)! [המשך יבוא]ב' חלקים משיחת יו"ד שבט ה'תשכ"ה ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=06-08-2025 Synopsis The conclusion of Masechta Makkos states: “It once was that Rabban Gamliel, Rabbi Elazar ben Azarya, Rabbi Yehoshua, and Rabbi Akiva were walking along the road…When they arrived at the Temple Mount, they saw a fox that emerged from the site of the Holy of Holies. They began weeping, and Rabbi Akiva was laughing…They said to him: This is the place of which it is written: “And the layman who approaches shall die,” and now foxes walk in it; and shall we not weep? He said to them: That is why I am laughing, as it is written: “And I will take to Me faithful witnesses to attest: Uriah the Kohen, and Zechariah ben Yevarchiyahu.” Now, what is the connection between Uriah and Zechariah…Rather, the verse hinged the fulfillment of the prophecy of Zechariah on the fulfillment of the prophecy of Uriah. In the prophecy of Uriah it is written: “Therefore, for your sake Tzion will be plowed as a field.” In Zechariah it is written: “There will yet be elderly men and elderly women sitting in the streets of Yerushalayim.” Until the prophecy of Uriah was fulfilled, I was afraid that the prophecy of Zechariah would not be fulfilled. Now that the prophecy of Uriah was fulfilled, it is evident that the prophecy of Zechariah remains valid. They said to him: Akiva, you have comforted us; Akiva, you have comforted us.” Rabbi Akiva here is not bringing proof for the Redemption and Techias Hameisim themselves, because they are stated explicitly in the Written Torah. Rather, he is bringing proof as to the manner in which they will occur: Conceptually, Techias Hameisim could occur in a manner similar to the state of Gan Eden before the sin, meaning, the abolition of death, as a result of which the dead would be resurrected in a state of optimum strength and health. But since Zechariah's prophecy states that “There will yet be elderly men and elderly women sitting in the streets of Yerushalayim,” that proves that there will be an even greater novelty – the fact that they will arise as “elderly men and elderly women,” and yet they will become strong enough to be “sitting in the streets of Yerushalayim” like young people. (To be continued).2 excerpts from sichah of Yud Shevat 5725 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=06-08-2025 לע"נ מרת צבי' אדל בת ר' צבי ע"ה ליום היארצייט שלה י"ב מנחם-אב. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.

The Sanhedrin was exiled, but the Divine Presence did not go into exile with them. The priestly watches were exiled, but the Divine Presence did not go into exile with them. But when the children were exiled, the Divine Presence went into exile with them, as it is written: ‘Her young children went into captivity before the enemy…' and then immediately, ‘Gone from the daughter of Tzion is all her splendor.'” Based on this, it is understood that the nullification of the cause of the exile and the return to our Holy Land depends first and foremost on the Torah, tefillah, and tzedakah of Jewish children.2 sichos delivered to children, Thursday, parashas Devarim, 4 Menachem-Av 5740 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=29-07-2025

Nevertheless, there are some areas where joy is particularly emphasized, because although the joy of a mitzvah derives from fulfilling Hashem's will, which is equal in all mitzvos, the joy must also permeate the intellect, and this occurs primarily when it comes to Torah topics that openly involve joy. One such topic is the halachos of the Redemption, which is particularly appropriate during the Three Weeks, especially the laws pertaining to the building of the Beis Hamikdash and those pertaining to Yerushalayim, the city chosen for building the Beis Hamikdash – “Tzion (Yerushalayim) will be redeemed through justice.” Although the suggestion to study these laws during the Three Weeks was made in a certain year, the suggestion remains in force as long as the reason behind it remains in place. (2) Much examination is required to explain how the Mitteler Rebbe's statement that after the persecution of the Middle Ages, “the trouble will not rise twice” accords with the events endured by this generation. Nevertheless, this must not chas v'shalom diminish one's trust in Hashem, Who is the “Guardian of the Jewish people Who neither slumbers nor sleeps, including for those in the Holy Land, which Hashem gave to every Jew, each of whom will receive their portion of the Land with the coming of Moshiach. This will be hastened by studying Torah and doing mitzvos with tremendous trust in Hashem, and then the Jewish people will witness the consolation of Tzion and Yerushalayim immediately.2 excerpts from sichah of Motzaei Shabbos parashas Pinchas, 5738 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=21-07-2025

התוכן השליחות המיוחדת לזמן זה, מתחיל מזמן מ"ת – ענין שהזמן גרמא וצו השעה – היא, שכל יהודי יקבל על עצמו "שליחות" לייסד שיעורים בתורה. ומה טוב – ששיעורי התורה יהיו בציבור. וענין זה שייך לכל אחד ואחת מישראל, אנשים ונשים, וגם אצל טף. וכ"ז באופן של כל חד וחד לפום שיעורא דילי', אבל באופן שהשיעור דהיום נעשה גדול יותר מהשיעור דאתמול, ועד"ז בשיעורים דכל יום עצמו. וע"י שהולך "מחיל אל חיל" בכל ענינים אלו, זוכים ל"ילכו מחיל אל חיל יראה אל אלקים בציון", עד לקודש הקדשים, שבו נמצא הארון עם הלוחות הראשונות והאחרונות. ומכיון שנמצאים בימי התשלומין של חה"ש, הנה גם הלוחות הראשונות הם בשלימות, ובמקום שבירת הלוחות נעשה "יש שבר במצרים" – המזון האמיתי שע"י נעשה חיבור הנשמה והגוף, החיבור של יש הנברא עם יש האמיתי, בגאולה האמיתית והשלימה וכו'.משיחת יום ב' פ' בהעלותך, י"א סיון ה'תש"נ, בעת ה"יחידות כללית" ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=04-06-2025 Synopsis The special shlichus for this time of year, beginning from the time of the Giving of our Torah, is for every Jew to accept upon himself the mission of establishing shiurim in Torah (especially community shiurim). This applies to men, women, and even children, and while everyone should do it in a manner appropriate to their own level, it should be done in such a way that today's shiur is greater than yesterday's, and similarly advancing from the shiur at the beginning of the day to the shiur in the middle of the day and at the end of the day. By advancing “from strength to strength” in all this, one will merit to “Go from strength to strength, to appear to Hashem in Tzion,” to the Kodesh Hakodoshim which contains the Aron with the first and second Luchos. Since we are within the days of tashlumin for Shavuos, even the first Luchos are in a state of completeness, and instead of breaking (shevirah), there will be “grain (shever) in Egypt” – the true sustenance that connects the body to the soul, the created being to the true Being, with the true and complete Redemption etc.Excerpt from sichah of Monday, parashas Behaalosecha, 11 Sivan 5750 – Yechidus Klallis For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=04-06-2025 לזכות הינדא לאה בת חי' שרה שתחי' וויינבוים ליום ההולדת שלה ביום א' דחג השבועותלשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות‏

Our guest on this week's episode is Ram Ben Tzion, the founder and CEO of Publican. Today marks the end of the De Minimus tax exemption for many imported goods. If you are not familiar with that exemption, it was designed to reduce the import paper work and tax duty collecting for low-value goods. But as a result, there were claims of abuse, unfair competition, and that the exemption allowed drug traffickers to easily import illegal drugs. So, starting today, there are new rules. Our guest shares the details and how supply chains will be affected. This week, the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) released a report  showing that freight brokers nationwide are facing some pretty staggering losses due to cargo theft and what they say are “increasingly complex fraud schemes.” We examine the most common scheme and what can be done to reduce fraud and cargo theft.This week the administration ordered that all truck drivers be proficient in understanding the English language in order to drive a truck in the United States. The new order rescinds the previous guidance issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which back in 2016 had relaxed the enforcement of existing English proficiency standards. Drivers found not to be in compliance will automatically declared "out of service." Exactly how it will be enforced and what the specifics are remain to be seen.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Yom HaAtzmaut | Psalm 126: BeShuv Hashem et Shivat Tzion, by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom Why are we described as "like dreamers" upon the return to ציון?  Since those miraculous days of 1948, there have been several proposals to amend the National Anthem with the recitation of Psalm 126 - בשוב ה' את שיבת ציון; famously, Menachem Begin read the entire Psalm in the Rose Garden before signing the Camp David Accords in 1979. The sense of seeing ancient prophecies fulfilled in our day and before our eyes is a powerful one, and this psalm uniquely captures that feeling of הגדיל ה' לעשות עמנו. We examine the psalm, first discussing the issue of authorship and period of the composition of Tehillim and then the method used to study Biblical poetry, specifically Tehillim. Barukh Hashem, in our day, we are experiencing the רינה of the harvesters, sadly mixed with the דמעה of the sowers. Source sheet >>

Shiur @ Yeshivat Mevaseret Tzion in Growth by Rabbi Daniel Kalish

Rabbi Kalish

BH Transform the physical and we can bring the Geulah!!!

In this class we conclude the maamar with the study of chapters 8 and 9. We learn how there are two levels of redemption that each of us must go through and how these correspond to the redemption in macrocosm through Moshiach.

Ram Ben Tzion, CEO of Ultra Information Systems, joins Jeanne Meserve at this year's AI Expo for National Competitiveness for a conversation on leveraging AI for international trade and security.

The possibility for forgetting Torah derives from a viewpoint that perceives a separation between transcendent and the immanent Divine energies. This is also the root of the debacle of the worship of the Golden Calf.

BH A great "pick me up" Maamar for the 3 weeks

The unification of Sovev and Memaleh can also be understood as corresponding to the names Havaye and Elokim. This unification makes it possible to live within time and space but not prioritize the material world as an end unto itself. Chapters 4 and 5 of the maamar.

This maamar of the Rebbe is based on a maamar of the Alter Rebbe in Likkutei Torah which describes how to instill in oneself the feeling that the Torah is truly new everyday. Chapters 1-3 of the maamar.
