Rivka Emainu and her Dilemma
BSD
Rivka is finally pregnant, and experiencing strange symptoms. Surely she consulted with midwives, but her symptoms were spiritual in nature and she needed more elevated guidance. Married to the greatest Tzaddik of the generation and having his father, the Prince of the world available to ask, she nevertheless chooses to ask the head of the Academy of Shem. Why?
Listen here to the Shiur given in Yerushalayim today…

Sara Emainu in Mitzrayim
BSD
A startling Chidush by R’ Y. Eibshutz might change your way of understanding the relationship that our grandparents Avraham and Sara had with each other.
Listen here to a shiur given to the womens learning group in Har Nof, Yerushalaim IHK.
Have a great week, a wonderful Shabbos

Women in Torah- Naama
BSD
Noach and Naama– recreating the world. These two had much more in common than the sweet meaning of their names. Naama and Noach relive an episode in human history that their ancestors Adam and Chava already unsuccessfully passed through.
Listen here to this shocking, eye opening shiur. A must for women who thirst for their portion in the Torah.
I would love to hear your comments.

ELUL
BSD
The palace of the King is being renovated and cleaned for the upcoming annual coronation ceremony. The King has been on a foreign tour of His provinces for the past few months and has now returned to the royal city. He has set up camp directly outside his palace and is available to any and all. No appointment needed, not even correct palace attire. It is the annual open field.
Not only is the King available, accessible and in the field, but He desires each of His subjects to make the effort and come to visit. You are invited, guaranteed a Divine smile, a gift of presence and an internal cleansing.
The way to enter the field of the King is to want to see and speak to Him. That’s all. Internal self accounting usually follows, and committment to improve your life and the world. Great emotion often accompanies the visits, and you can come as often as you like. Daily, several times daily or even just stay close constantly.
The field begins to empty of the Royal retinue right before Rosh hashana- at that point, tickets are needed to enter the palace to encounter The King- and the price of the ticket is raised if you want a closer encounter.
So, take the time now, when He is closer and easiest to access.
With great love…
Shiur Tonight in Great Neck
BSD
I will be giving a Shiur tonight in Great Neck at 9 PM in the Pesian Shul, Shira Chadasha
695 Middle Neck Road, back entrance.
Please join us for this Tu B’Av Shiur!
Shabbos Chazon
BSD
The Shabbos before Tisha B’Av is nicknamed Shabbos Chazon, which means the Shabbos of Prophetic Vision.
The Haftorah of Parshat Devarim is the first Perek of Yeshayahu, which begins,
“Chazon Yeshayahu Ben Amotz”- describing the vision of the prophet- the vision of exile and eventual redemption.
The Apter Rav was a student of the Baal Shem Tov and is buried right next to him in the Ukraine. He taught that Shabbos Chazon is one of the highest, holiest Shabbatot of the entire year. There were Tzaddikim who said that on this Shabbos, one can actually have a vision of the third Bais Hamikdash.
The Shabbos of Vision- of visions. How can we expand our vision of life? Is there more to what we can perceive? Can we begin to hear and see the messages, the hints, that Hashem sprinkles throughout our day? Can we begin to sense and understand more of the why’s in our life?
A mother takes her baby to the doctor for a vaccination. She holds him as the doctor jabs his little tush with the needle and the baby looks horrified- not just because of the pain of the shot, but because his own mother, it seems, is collaborating with the enemy. Here there is an evil man, stabbing his body and his own mother is helping by holding him still!
Go explain to a baby about illness, about vaccines and about bacteria. This baby knows one thing- right now, this hurts! We often feel the same about life- sometimes it hurts. But there is a bigger plan, and on this Shabbos, we can begin to expand our minds, hearts and experience to open to the justice of this heavenly plan.
People are noticing an interesting phenomenon. Last minute major and minor tikunim are being made. Repair and restitution in different areas of your life are being offered. Have you had a thought of correcting an injustice in your relationships, or in your finances? Has a realization hit you, pointing to a new reason for your repeated tests? Have you seen, recently, a pattern in your life that hints to a particular mida?
This Shabbos reminds us that there is a reason for the exile- both the private personal exile, and our national exile. We are working through major tikunim in many levels, in many worlds.
May Hashem open our eyes to see and understand the great love He has for us. May we see that we were never abandoned, never in danger and always beloved.
