Parsha: Behar Bechukosai - Hostage Letter (5783) 1:01:55

7h ago1:01:55

1:01:55

Our Parsha contains some of the most difficult portions in the Torah, the Admonition. Our nation is told of the consequences of failing to adhere to the rules of God.

Extreme Measures (4:4) 25:16

1d ago25:16

25:16

My wise grandmother, of blessed memory, used to quip, “Everything in moderation.” That sagacious advice is, in fact, the backbone of Rambam’s understanding of proper character.

Modern Day Heresy 40:00

1d ago40:00

40:00

Heresies and idolatries come and go. The idolatry that titillated the ancients no longer excites modern men. The heresies that revolutionized the world a century ago no longer resonate. Any heresy is a repudiation of God, and thus is bound to vaporize like a puff of smoke. Falsehood cannot endure for long, and eventually all heresies dissipate. But…

#95: Venues of Reward and Punishment 41:58

6d ago41:58

Miracle Drugs and Superfoods (4:2) 54:29

6d ago54:29

54:29

Something dramatic happens when the Soul is fed. It is empowered and its place in a person’s identity is augmented, and concurrently the Yetzer Hara’s influence is weakened. A virtuous cycle results wherein one Mitzvah makes the second Mitzvah more likely. Initially, the Mitzvos need to be force-fed like feeding a patient who refuses food. The earl…

Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise (4:1) 49:40

8d ago49:40

49:40

Does it make sense to take pride in one’s intellect, fitness, or wealth? Our Sages teach us that those things are determined before someone is born, and therefore it would be ludicrous for us to take pride in what was given to us by God. But in a seminal teaching, Ben Zoma reveals that there is a version of wealth, might, and wisdom that is our’s a…
