We read in the parsha a few weeks ago, how Hashem cursed the snake for his indiscretion by providing him with food to eat via the dust of the earth for all of his days. The question here is obvious and I believe one which is posed by the holy Sfas Emes of Gur.  Is [...]

I previously blogged (here) with an insight from Rav Shimshon Pincus to distinguish between Tefilah and Bakasha – Prayer & Supplication. Rav Shimshon Z’L would often say that we spend so much of our time in Prayer and it is therefore imperative that we develop an appreciation for the “Art” of proper prayer. “We Daven anyway” [...]

We find ourselves in the month of Elul….the month of coming closer to Hashem Yisborach! The problem is, we have been ‘coasting’ along to this point and we therefore find that it is so difficult for us to rip ourselves away from our status quo in order to better ourselves!

“Thank You”. Yes indeed, “Thank You”. These Parshos reiterate and enumerate the building of the Mishkan and the manufacturing of the Bigdei Kehunah. In Parshas Pekudei, when Bnai Yisroel completed the building of the Mishkan and Bigdei Kehunah, the Posuk tells us: “Va’Yi’re Moshe Es Kol Ha’melochoh Ve’Heenai Osuh Oy’soh Ka’Asher Tzee’voh Hashem Keyn Osuh, [...]

A popular Ad/Commercial playing nowadays in the secular media is from a well-known Bank that touts the benefits of owning their credit card and all of the wonderful products and services you can purchase with it; their hook tag line is the question, “What’s in Your Wallet”.  It’s certainly a catchy phrase designed to increase [...]

Is the question often posed by the fashion cognoscenti in the secular Fashion capitals of the world; Paris, Rome, Milan, and Madison Avenue. Their answers and the “fashionable” clothes they manufacture cater to and elicit from the baser human instincts. Le’Havdil, our Torah Hakedosha takes a different perspective. In this weeks Parsha, Hashem commands Moshe: [...]

It appears from this weeks Parsha that indeed we can. At Har Sinai the Posuk tells us: Ve’Chol Ha’Om Royen Es Hakolos V’Es Halapeydim. Rashi Z”L explains that Bnei Yisroel  ‘Roiyen Es Hanishma”, they saw the sounds- that which is heard- the Aseres Hadibros emanating from Hakodesh Boruch Hu and Moshe Rabbeinu. The Sfas Emes [...]

(Heard from Rav Shimshon Pincus Z”L) I once gave a ride to a wonderful teenager who studies in a Hesder Yeshiva in Israel. This wonderful boy is the son of a prominent American born physician who has resided in Israel (where he practices) for many years and who has a very choshuv family all around (including [...]
