Tzav: Who Do You Think You Are? | STUMP THE RABBI (265)https://youtu.be/zP3hTcecHUAWho do you think you are? We've all heard of the expression, and some of us had it directed at us. If we ask it seriously and demand an answer from ourselves before taking action, there's actually much mussar to learn from it--especially when faced with enticing options that are forbidden. In fact, if we ask it of other people in our mind, we can arrive at conclusions that are quite different than you'd think. What does this have to do with Tzav? This will be addressed in this shiur, followed by the beloved Questions & Answers session from the live audience around the world. Learn, Enjoy, Share and Be Holy.
How Can You Tell If You Grew Closer To God and In Torah? | TORAH FOUNDATION (20) https://youtu.be/MOqfkpdrQCUEveryone remembers the frustration they had as a child when the adults said "you'll understand when you grow up." The truth is that they were more right than we realized at the time.

The Chovot HaLevavot explains that there are times we must use the tradition, and times to use logic.
VAYIKRA: What's Greater Than Honoring God? | STUMP THE RABBI (264)https://youtu.be/rnZ_NkSjQDMThe vast majority of the world shows God honor and respect. In fact, many even show his servants honor as well. Although there are more than enough foolish people who do the opposite, the fact remains that most people at least try to honor God. What will they do when they find out that the honor was not enough? Today we'll dig into Parashat Vayikra, in order to learn the essence of the Torah's commandments upon us and what we must realize is even greater than honoring God.

Simple vs Intellectual, Which is Better to overcome Instagram? | TORAH FOUNDATION (19) https://youtu.be/u7JfFJX84LgFrom the basic levels of emunah in HaShem we know that everything He did is to our benefit. Yet one who's more simple minded can often find themselves questioning why HaShem did not make them more like their intellectual brothers. At the same time, we've all heard stories of how the intellectuals did not always make the best decisions.

Are You A Good or Great Giver? | STUMP THE RABBI (263)https://youtu.be/p6rBrjduib8The Jewish people are known for their charitable givings, and each of us gives to the causes we connect with.

One thing for sure is that you'll never look at giving the same way, and hopefully will have a better understanding of what type of giver you are at this point.

BESHALACH: The Long Hard Way or Shortcut to Dead End| STUMP THE RABBI (259) https://youtu.be/0-NQb2_8fXkIt's not unique or surprising that in the age of instant gratification, people choose the Short Easy Way instantaneously. In Parashat Beshalach we see that HaShem chose the long hard way for Am Yisrael to journey through the desert in order to avoid war, yet the Torah says that they were armed. Why? In life we are often preparing for different events for months or years, only to find out that it was all unnecessary, since HaShem chose a different way. Through the verses and the stories of past times, we will learn more about why our past was the way it was, in hopes to be more prepared for the future.
