    Koheles: Controversy & My Personal Experiences

    In this episode, we look at why Koheles is a controversial Sefer in Tanach. Chazal weren’t sure if Koheles should be included in Tanach, why is this true? Is there a connection in how we understand this issue and the machlokes in Chazal if Koheles was authored with Ruach HaKodesh?    We also look at the basic difficulties people have in learning and understanding the Sefer. I also discuss my personal path and experiences in coming to a solid understanding of the Sefer.

    Man, Authority & Obligation

    In this week’s episode, we look at what is called the replication crisis. This academic crisis questions the accuracy of accepted psychological studies. In order to properly understand this phenomenon, we look at how the deep changes in society have affected how we view authority. Similarly, we look at the different levels of obligation we find in Chazal. And we also look at how people react very differently when challenged by deeper levels of authority.  This week’s episode is dedicated by Ben and Talia Silver in honor and for the merit for the safety of all the IDF soldiers.

    Humanity & Narrative

    In this week’s episode, we look at one of the deepest expressions of the Human Soul - man’s quest for cohesive narrative.  What part of human behavior do we see this from? What can we learn from this? Where is this phenomenon properly explained in Torah? What is the ultimate potential of this phenomenon?   This week’s episode is dedicated by Ben and Talia Silver in honor and for the merit for the safety of all the IDF soldiers.

    Rosh HaShana & Man

    In this episode we look at the deep dualism of Rosh HaShana. On one hand it is a chag, on the other hand it is a time of Divine Justice. How does this connect to the fact that Rosh HaShana is the day Man was created.    We also look at some of Daniel Kahneman’s ideas about the nature of Human thought process. When is a phenomenon an expression of the soul? How should this affect how we perceive it?    This week’s episode is dedicated by יגאל יצחק בן גיל as a merit for his grandmother שרה בת עזרא on the occasion of her 17th Yahrtzeit which is on Rosh HaShana. It should also be a זכות for יגאל יצחק בן גיל וברכה יטא בת ישראל משה for health, Hatzlacha in all matters and to have a שנה טובה ומתוקה  Nach Yomi: Join R' Wittenstein’s Nach Yomi on WhatsApp. We learn a perek a day five days a week, with a nine minute shiur covering the key issues.

    The Sukkos Story of Bayis Shani: The Basic Dynamic of the Times of Moshaich

    In this episode, we look at one of the most puzzling stories of Bayis Shani, the story of Sukkos. The possuk seems to imply that this was the first time they kept Sukkos since Yehoshua. How do we understand this?   We also look at the basic dynamics of the times of Moshiach. How does the dynamic between Israel and the other nations change? And similarly we discuss the Ingathering of the Exiles.        This week’s episode is dedicated לרפואה השלימה לשרה פעשא בת יפה אסתר by her family  Nach Yomi: Join R' Wittenstein’s Nach Yomi on WhatsApp. We learn a perek a day five days a week, with a nine minute shiur covering the key issues.

    Bayis Sheini - The Basic Situation

    In this week’s episode, we start by revisiting the Kinos and the difficulty they pose. Is there a way to turn the Kinos into a normal davening experience? We take another look at why we try to relate to the Churban in this complicated fashion.    We look carefully at the Bayis Shani era and how to understand the narrative. How do the possukim describe the Rosh HaShana or Ezra and Nechemia? What was causing the people to cry so much?   This week’s episode is dedicated לרפואה השלימה לשרה פעשא בת יפה אסתר by her family Nach Yomi: Join R' Wittenstein’s Nach Yomi on WhatsApp. We learn a perek a day five days a week, with a nine minute shiur covering the key issues.

    Understanding the Challenge: Understanding the Bayis Shani Structure

    In this week’s episode, we take a closer look at why people from the Yeshiva world have significant problems relating to the issues of Moshiach. How much of this issue is clearly discussed in Shas? Where in fact is this issue discussed?   We also examine the question of is there any reason to think the structure of Bayis Shlishi should be similar to Bayis Shani?  And we also discuss  the structure of Bayis Shani, and why Bayis Shani had this exact structure.   This week’s episode is dedicated לרפואה השלימה לשרה פעשא בת יפה אסתר Nach Yomi: Join R' Wittenstein’s Nach Yomi on WhatsApp. We learn a perek a day five days a week, with a nine minute shiur covering the key issues.

    Moshiach - Internalizing the Challenge: The Basic Structure

    In this episode, we take a careful look at how the Halacha looks at ultimate loss based on Hilchos Availus. We also look at how people generally speaking react to this situation. And similarly, we discuss how this should affect how we relate to The Bais HaMikdash and Moshiach.    We also start looking at the basic structure of Moshiach based on the parallelisms in Tanach. What are the basic parallelisms and what is the first key structural phenomena of Moshaich?  This week’s episode is sponsored לעילוי נשמת חיה מרים בת ר הלל Nach Yomi: Join R' Wittenstein’s Nach Yomi on WhatsApp. We learn a perek a day five days a week, with a nine minute shiur covering the key issues.
