¡Volvimos con una nueva mini serie sobre biocomunicación! En este primer episodio exploramos las generalidades de cómo se comunican los seres vivos e iniciamos con una de las formas de comunicar más llamativas: la bioacústica.Desde cantos complejos de aves y ballenas, hasta el chirriar y vibraciones casi imperceptibles de algunos artrópodos.Hablamos de qué es la comunicación acústica, cómo funciona, qué ventajas y desventajas tiene. Compartimos algunos ejemplos sorprendentes que muestran que la naturaleza está lejos de ser silenciosa.ReferenciasBarker, A. J. (2023). Acoustic communication: Deer mice join the chorus.

The letter clarifies that while some Torah interpretations allow flexibility, matters of reality must follow established principles, with the Arizal's rulings being definitive in Kabbalah. It discusses creation as both a spiritual and physical process and confirms that before this world, only spiritual realms existed, rejecting earlier views. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/014/005/5134

Exploring the 50 Gates of Tshuva: Insights and UnderstandingsIn this episode, we embark on a new study as part of theKollel Toras Chaim network, focusing on the teachings related to the 50 gates of Teshuva. R' Yaakov explains the mystical concepts behind these gates, especially their connection to the sphere of Bina, which is above the natural realm. Key themes include the relationship of Teshuva to divine attributes, the significance of the 49 accessible gates versus the 50th gate, and the symbolic connections to Jewish practices and holidays like Chanukah and Yovel. The teachings of Rabbeinu Nachman and their practical implications for personal and spiritual growth during the month of Elul are also highlighted.00:00 Introduction to the New Limud00:42 Understanding the 50 Gates of Teshuva01:40 Exploring the Concept of Bina03:57 The Significance of the Number Eight05:29 Connecting Teshuva to the Kisei HaKavod06:58 Returning to Our Essence09:09 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Natural calamities... and how years with no rain (and therefore no produce) were characterized as "Elijah's years." Plus, calculating produce per the years of Shemitah (and Yovel) - and how that connects to redeeming one's conscrated ancestral lands. Plus, mishnah! Cultivating wheat when the crop fails is a challenge to pay back....

Parshas Behar & Lag B'Omer, Rest and Renewal The Parsha Perspective is in honor of Eretz Yisroel.  May G-d protect our brave soldiers.  May G-d return all the hostages in Gaza immediately.  The Parsha Perspective is in honor of the Refuah Shlema of HaRav Amitai Ben Shoshanna and those who need to experience a speedy and complete recovery with G-d's help.     The Parsha Perspective is in loving memory of Edward Ben Efraim, Shlomo Ben Edward, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia. May their souls be uplifted and their memories a blessing. Click here to listen, watch and connect! Parshaperspective.com  Our Parsha begins with an overview of the laws of Shemitah and Yovel.  Shemitah is a seven-year cycle in which we may farm the land for six years; however, we must let the land rest in the seventh year. We find out the laws of Shemitah. We learn the true status of the land of Israel. 

Being a farmer in antiquity was a hard job. Without any mechanized tools and plows, farming demanded a great deal of sweat and toil. But what choice did you have? If you want to feed your family, you need to work the land. Then comes the Shemitah. Every 7th year, the farmers in the Land are barred from working the field. For one year, the Land must lay fallow. Adhering to this mitzvah demands a great deal of faith and spiritual fortitude. But there is more: every 50th year is the Yovel where for the second year in a row, working the Land was prohibited. In this special edition of the Parsha Podcast, we take a deep dive into the fascinating and the mysterious subject of Yovel.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:What lessons and empowerment does this time-period and Torah portion offer us in facing today's war?   What is the significance of the period between Pesach and Shavuos?  What does the month of Iyar teach us?  What is the connection between Rafah and healing?  What do we learn from Pesach Sheni?  How does counting the Omer help refine and strengthen us?  Weeks of Netzach and Hod: What are netzach and hod and what are their functions?  Behar: What does a “mountain” teach us?   Do the laws of Yovel apply today?  Beis Iyar  How to fight a war with a l'chatchila ariber attitude?  Who was the Rebbe Maharash named after and what do we learn from that?  Should we induce labor to give birth to a child on an auspicious day like Beis Iyar?  What do we learn from the soldiers that were tragically killed by “friendly fire”?  Is Israel the safest place on earth?  How do we reconcile the Rebbe's statement that Israel is the safest place in the world with the unfortunate fact that over 1,200 people were murdered in one day in Israel?   Should we move to Israel due to fears of rising anti-Semitism?  How can we apply the concept of l'chatchila ariber to the current physical and spiritual war?  How should we react to President Biden withholding arms from Israel and to the general anti-Israel stance among some USA officials?  Should we remain allies with the USA or perhaps turn to Russia and China for support?  Are the soldiers tzaddikim?  Is it possible that my putting on Tefillin actually caused harm to our soldiers?  What power do our actions have in impacting world events?   War with Hamas
