  • The Crossing of the Red Sea was not a One- time Event
    May 17 2024
    The Crossing of the Red Sea was an extraordinary event, a miracle, described in detail in the book of Exodus. The waters parted to allow the Children of Israel to cross on dry land for precisely the right amount of time required to get across safely and then they returned to drown their implacable enemies. This is the ultimate miracle, an event that breaks the boundaries of nature. To our surprise we discover that the parting of the waters to allow a people to cross is not a one -time event. There are two other instances: one when the waters of the River Jordan parted to allow the people of Israel to enter the Promised Land, and there is a further instance described in the Talmud. This leads us to ask what conditions are required to enable the boundaries of nature to be breached and we look at the survival of the Jewish people and the establishment of the State of Israel from this perspective.

  • Before the Mitzvah and after the Mitzvah: What we learn from Yaakov’s relationship with Laban and Esau
    Dec 21 2022
    The Torah is not a history book. The outer events of our forefathers’ lives are recorded in the Torah. But the meaning of these events and the intentions of the protagonists are recorded in the inner aspect of the Torah, the Zohar. It’s when we put the inner intentions together with the events that we begin to understand why these stories are important for us today in living our own lives. In this shiur we will look at one example in which Yaakov teaches us how to handle our own selfishness and ego, before we going to do a mitzvah and how we need to relate to it after the mitzvah by looking at the story of his relationship with both Laban and Esau.

  • Are Our Thoughts Ours?
    Nov 15 2022
    We think it is ourselves that think our thoughts, but Rabbi Yehudah Leib Ashlag tells us that this is a delusion. In actual fact it is God who sends us our thoughts in order to communicate with us, giving, uniquely and intimately, his love to each one of us. Whether our thoughts are positive or negative they all come from him. And thus we actually have an open channel of communication with the Creator of all the universe . This should bring us to feel great joy and thanks.
