    Why Are We Still Mourning the Beit HaMikdash? | Devarim 1st Aliyah and Daily Learning

    In today’s Live With the Times, we begin Parshat Devarim, the parsha always read before Tisha B’Av.Tisha B’Av is not only about mourning something that happened thousands of years ago. If we are still mourning the Beit HaMikdash today, it means the destruction is not only in the past. It means there is still something in us, right now, that needs to be corrected.Today’s theme is that we cannot build while we are still destroying. When we judge another Yid, speak against another Yid, look down on another Jew, or create separation in Klal Yisrael, we are not just remembering the destruction — we are continuing it.The avodah before Tisha B’Av is not only to feel sad about what was lost. It is to ask: where am I still contributing to the problem? Where am I using my mouth, my thoughts, my assumptions, or my judgments to tear down another person instead of helping rebuild?We need to stop destroying before we can build. The rebuilding of the Beit HaMikdash begins with ahavat Yisrael, guarding our speech, judging favorably, and taking responsibility for the part of the churban that still lives inside us.We also learn Kitzur Shulchan Aruch on prohibited activities on Shabbos, the conclusion of the Pesicha of Shaar HaBitachon, and Rav Shalom Arush’s I’m In Your Hands on “Nice to Meet You, Mr. Hitbodedut” — introducing the personal prayer and honest self-accounting that help us return to Hashem for real.—-------------------------------------------------------💦 Premium Filtration for Modern LivingSafer H2O helps families take control of their water with smart whole-home filtration, under-sink systems, RV filtration, scale defense, and more.Introducing the Nexxus Smart Whole-Home Water Filtration System, a smart, modular system that helps filter the water throughout your home and alerts you when it’s time for replacement filters or water conditions change.With smart monitoring, customized filter packs, and whole-home protection, Nexxus is built to help you feel more confident about the water coming into your house.👉 Learn more or get your water filtration solution at http://saferh2o.com—-------------------------------------------------------🎧 Bring Mamash Tov to Your Next SimchaLooking for a Jewish female DJ who brings real energy, joy, and soul to your event?DJ Mamash Tov creates unforgettable music experiences for Jewish weddings, bat mitzvahs, women-only events, private parties, kosher festivals, and community celebrations.

    Connection Requires Separation | Matot-Masei 3rd Aliyah and Daily Learning

    In today’s Live With the Times, we continue with the 3rd aliyah of Parshat Matot-Masei and the request of the tribes of Reuven and Gad to remain on the eastern side of the Yarden.Their request seems practical: they had livestock, and the land was good for livestock. But Moshe was concerned that they were being pulled into something deeper — the mixed middle ground of nogah, where good and bad are blended together, and where a person can easily fool himself.Today’s theme is that our job in this world is to be connected: connected to Hashem, to ourselves, to our purpose, to our spouse, to our children, to our family, and to the highest version of who we really want to be. But real connection requires separation. A person has to know what pulls him closer and what disconnects him.Material success, business, comfort, possessions, and “practical reasons” can all become holy tools. But they can also quietly pull a person away from his mission. The avodah is not to run away from every ordinary part of life, but to separate the good from the bad, reject what disconnects us, and elevate the sparks inside the borderline places.We also learn Kitzur Shulchan Aruch on prohibited activities on Shabbos, Shaar HaBitachon on the first worldly benefit of bitachon, and Rav Shalom Arush’s I’m In Your Hands on our generation’s mistake: believing Hashem can help, but doubting that He wants to help us.—-------------------------------------------------------💦 Premium Filtration for Modern LivingSafer H2O helps families take control of their water with smart whole-home filtration, under-sink systems, RV filtration, scale defense, and more.Introducing the Nexxus Smart Whole-Home Water Filtration System, a smart, modular system that helps filter the water throughout your home and alerts you when it’s time for replacement filters or water conditions change.With smart monitoring, customized filter packs, and whole-home protection, Nexxus is built to help you feel more confident about the water coming into your house.👉 Learn more or get your water filtration solution at http://saferh2o.com—-------------------------------------------------------🎧 Bring Mamash Tov to Your Next SimchaLooking for a Jewish female DJ who brings real energy, joy, and soul to your event?DJ Mamash Tov creates unforgettable music experiences for Jewish weddings, bat mitzvahs, women-only events, private parties, kosher festivals, and community celebrations.

    How Anger Steals Your Wisdom | Matot-Masei 2nd Aliyah and Daily Learning

    In today’s Live With the Times, we continue with the 2nd aliyah of Parshat Matot-Masei and the aftermath of the war with Midian.Moshe Rabbeinu becomes angry with the officers of the army, and Rebbe Nachman connects this to the teaching of Chazal: when a person becomes angry, his wisdom departs. Anger does not just make a person emotional. It makes him narrow-minded. He loses the ability to see the full picture and becomes trapped in the immediate trigger right in front of him.The avodah is not only to say, “I shouldn’t get angry.” The deeper work is to notice the pattern. When do I lose it? What situations trigger me? What story am I telling myself in that moment? What damage does it cause afterward? Every time anger comes, it feels justified. But when we zoom out, we can often see the same pattern repeating again and again.The correction is to bring anger into hitbodedut every day with honesty: “Hashem, I lost my anger again. I don’t want to be like this. Please help me become patient.” Over time, that daily review can cleanse a person’s inner world until he looks back and realizes he has become calmer, more patient, and less reactive.We also learn Kitzur Shulchan Aruch on prohibited activities on Shabbos, Shaar HaBitachon on the fifth benefit of bitachon, and Rav Shalom Arush’s I’m In Your Hands on the mistake of thinking Hashem can help us, but does not want to.—-------------------------------------------------------💦 Premium Filtration for Modern LivingSafer H2O helps families take control of their water with smart whole-home filtration, under-sink systems, RV filtration, scale defense, and more.Introducing the Nexxus Smart Whole-Home Water Filtration System, a smart, modular system that helps filter the water throughout your home and alerts you when it’s time for replacement filters or water conditions change.With smart monitoring, customized filter packs, and whole-home protection, Nexxus is built to help you feel more confident about the water coming into your house.👉 Learn more or get your water filtration solution at http://saferh2o.com—-------------------------------------------------------🎧 Bring Mamash Tov to Your Next SimchaLooking for a Jewish female DJ who brings real energy, joy, and soul to your event?DJ Mamash Tov creates unforgettable music experiences for Jewish weddings, bat mitzvahs, women-only events, private parties, kosher festivals, and community celebrations.

    The Inheritance Your Kids Really Need | Pinchas 3rd Aliyah and Daily Learning

    In today’s Live With the Times, we continue with the 3rd aliyah of Parshat Pinchas and the story of the daughters of Tzelaphchad. Their request for a portion in Eretz Yisrael was not just about land. It was about inheritance, legacy, courage, and making sure the next generation receives what it needs. They did not stand by passively and accept what was missing. They stepped forward, asked, and helped bring a new Torah law into the world. Rebbe Nachman teaches that children provide the rectification for their parents. But the deeper message goes both ways: we also do the inner work for our children. We inherit patterns, wounds, strengths, and spiritual missions from those before us. Our avodah is to keep the good, heal what needs healing, and pass something better forward. What kind of upbringing do we want our children to have? What kind of portion are we leaving them? Are we giving them only what we received, or are we doing the work to transform the pain, confusion, and struggle into simcha, emunah, bitachon and self-worth? We also learn Kitzur Shulchan Aruch on prohibited activities on Shabbos, Shaar HaBitachon on the seventh advantage of bitachon over alchemy, and Rav Shalom Arush’s I’m In Your Hands on praying for love and bitachon — learning to believe that Hashem loves us and wants good for us.

    The Power to Draw a Holy Boundary | Matot-Masei 1st Aliyah and Daily Learning

    In today’s Live With the Times, we begin Parshat Matot-Masei with the 1st aliyah and the Torah’s laws of vows. Rebbe Nachman explains that vows reveal an incredible power: a person can take something technically permitted and make it forbidden for himself through Torah law. That means a Jew is not stuck with the surface question of “Is this allowed?” Sometimes the deeper question is: “Is this good for me?” Alcohol, food, money, debt, credit cards, technology, gambling, and other behaviors can be neutral tools. For one person, they may be usable in a healthy way. For another, they may become destructive. When something permitted keeps damaging our avodat Hashem, relationships, money, health, peace, or soul, the Torah gives us a path to draw a holy boundary. This is also the deep connection to recovery. The avodah is not always dramatic promises of “never again.” Sometimes the healthiest path is: just for today. Today I choose kedushah. Today I ask Hashem for help. Today I stop pretending something is fine when it is hurting me. We also learn Kitzur Shulchan Aruch on prohibited activities on Shabbos, Shaar HaBitachon on true wealth, and Rav Shalom Arush’s I’m In Your Hands on “The Prophecy Comes True.” —------------------------------------------------------- 💦 Premium Filtration for Modern Living Safer H2O helps families take control of their water with smart whole-home filtration, under-sink systems, RV filtration, scale defense, and more.

    Find The Pattern, Find The Hidden Root of Your Problems | Pinchas 2nd Aliyah and Daily Learning

    Today I reviewed the 2nd aliyah in parshat Pinchas. I also reviewed:- Rebbe Nachman's Commentary on Pinchas 2nd Aliyah- Kitzur Shulchan Aruch - Siman 80:7-8 (Prohibited Action on Shabbos)- Shaar HaBitachon - Pesicha: 6th Advantage of Bitachon Over Alchemy- I'm in Your Hands by Rav Shalom Arush (p. 68 - An Easy Income)Today's Theme:That hidden within and throughout this aliyah is Hashem's name with a yud and a heh added to each listed clan. This is to show that the people kept the bris even when enslaved under Miztrayim. We don't always notice this pattern just as we don't notice the patterns that give hint to the roots of our problems often hidden by the symptoms. We try to treat the symptoms and get frustrated, but when we look for patterns we can see that there is one single source of all of those symptoms. If we can fix that core issue, the other issues and symptoms dissapear and bring the redemption. I will attach the transcript below.

    Pinchas is Eliyahu: From The Flood To The Redemption | Pinchas 1st Aliyah and Daily Learning

    In today’s Live With the Times, we begin Parshat Pinchas with the first aliyah and one of the most misunderstood moments in the Torah.Pinchas is often judged as harsh, extreme, or lacking empathy. But Chazal and Rebbe Nachman reveal the opposite: Pinchas acted with true compassion. While the plague was spreading and Klal Yisrael was in danger, he stood up for Hashem’s honor, guarded the covenant, and stopped the destruction.This episode explores the connection between Pinchas, Eliyahu HaNavi, the bris, the covenant of peace, Noah’s Flood, and the power a person has to change reality through kedushah, prayer, tzedakah, and bitachon.We also learn Kitzur Shulchan Aruch Siman 80:7-8 on prohibited Shabbos activities, including kneading mixtures and handling fruit that may have fallen from a tree on Shabbos. Then we continue Shaar HaBitachon on the fifth advantage of bitachon over alchemy, and Rav Shalom Arush’s I’m In Your Hands on practical advice for livelihood: real segulot work when they build our emunah and bitachon muscles.Topics include:Parshat Pinchas, Pinchas and Eliyahu, guarding the bris, covenant of peace, true empathy, Breslov Torah, Rebbe Nachman, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Shaar HaBitachon, Rav Shalom Arush, bitachon, parnasa, and daily Torah learning.—-------------------------------------------------------💦 Premium Filtration for Modern LivingSafer H2O helps families take control of their water with smart whole-home filtration, under-sink systems, RV filtration, scale defense, and more.

    You Only See Part of the Story | Balak 5th Aliyah and Daily Learning - 10 Tammuz 5786

    In today’s Live With the Times daily Torah class, we learn the 5th aliyah of Parshat Balak and the next stage of Balak and Bilaam’s attempt to curse Am Yisrael. Balak tries to move Bilaam to a different place where he can see only part of the Jewish people, hoping that if he cannot curse the whole nation, maybe he can curse individuals. The lesson is deeply practical: we can only curse, judge, or look down on someone when we see only a small fragment of who they are. But Hashem sees the whole person — their struggles, their soul, their past, their future, their gilgulim, their hidden merits, and their place in the story of creation. When we judge another Yid, a family member, a stranger, or even ourselves based on one moment, one flaw, or one part of the picture, we are acting from the limited vision of Balak. The avodah is to see more like Hashem sees: with patience, truth, compassion, and faith that every person has tremendous hidden good. In this class, we also explore Rebbe Nachman’s teachings connected to the 5th aliyah of Balak. We learn Kitzur Shulchan Aruch Siman 80:3–4 on prohibited activities on Shabbos, including bishul, kli rishon, kli sheni, hot soup, salt, spices, sugar, warming food, and marit ayin. We then continue in Shaar HaBitachon with the fourth advantage of bitachon over alchemy. We finish with Rav Shalom Arush’s “I’m In Your Hands” on advice for livelihood. This daily Torah class is for anyone looking to grow in emunah, bitachon, judging favorably, patience, and practical avodat Hashem. —------------------------------------------------------- 💦 Premium Filtration for Modern Living Safer H2O helps families take control of their water with smart whole-home filtration, under-sink systems, RV filtration, scale defense, and more.
