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.

Parshas Korach
BSD
Korach was a cousin of Moshe Rabbeinu, a Levite who carried the Holy Ark when the Israelites traveled in the desert. Chazal tell us that the quarrel he had with Moshe Rabbeinu reached the deepest part of Torah- hear why he was punished so unusually…
The book of Tehillim chronicles the life of King Dovid. History repeats itself, Hashem re-teaches humans lessons until we finally understand. The kingdom of Dovid, and the life of Dovid Hamelech repeatedly was threatened- how does he react? Tehillim 120 is the first of the 15 Perakim of Shir Hamaalos and deals with the tragic results of lies, slander and gossip. A special look at the last two Pesukim, which sound as if they were written just this week, as a response to the threatening speech of the president of the USA…
Parshas Shlach
BSD
It is clear from the events surrounding the Meraglim, who were Tzaddikim, that there is a dimention of Eretz Yisrael that goes above and beyond human comprehension. Rebbe Nachman teaches that Eretz Yisrael is aquired with Emuna, and that living in Eretz Yisrael enhances Emuna, among a myriad of other things.
This year, the second day of Shavuos came out on Shabbos. Here in Eretz Yisrael, it was a ‘regular’ Shabbos, and we read the regular Parshat Hashavua of Naso. The Torah reading for Chul was still Shavuos reading. Consequently, for the next few weeks, there is a different Parshat Hashavua in Eretz Yisrael than in Chul.
It is a good time, therefore, re-evaluate our love, devotion and committment to living in Eretz Yisrael- wherever you happen to currently be. Chutz LaAretz is not our home. Whether you are physically in the Land or not, your heart has to be directed here. If it is not, you need to ask Hashem to open your mind and heart to Eretz Yisrael, to understand the centrality of living in this Land in order to fulfill the Tafkid of being a practicing Jew.
So many of our brothers and sisters have no connection to Torah on an apparent level, and therefore cannot be expected to understand the concept of our own Land as the place to live as a complete Jew. The Torah world must at least acknowledge the fact that Eretz Yisrael is the hope and goal.
Here is a shiur given in Har Nof to the valiant women who spend their Wednesdays learning Torah.
Have a wonderful Shabbos
Awesome Torah
BSD
The deepest part of a Jew- what precisely is it? Where do we make our biggest errors, and our biggest conquests? And how did Aharon Hakohein manage to love every Jew and bring them back to their soul-point? Listen here!

Much of Tehillim is heartwarming and strengthening! Dovid Hamelech was not much of a complainer, and shares his Emuna with us in the pages of Tehillim. Yet, there are some Perakim of Tehillim that surprise us with their sharpness. Here are two- which go through Jewish history. Nevertheless, their is a dose of sweetening to take us closer into goodness and repair.

Lag BaOmer 5769
BSD
Blessings for an elevated and successful Lag Baomer …
The first two shiurim below are from the Sunday morning class on the Sefer Da Et Atzmecha. They touch on the idea of finally intergrating all we have learned so that we can begin to enter the gates of deep joy in connecting to Hashem and His People and eventually, His creation.
These 2 classes are given to the merit of the mother of our precious Shaina Rubin. Her mother, Malka Bas Eliezer passed away last week and merited to be buried here in holy Yerushalayim. At the Shiva, Shaina described her mother as a woman who lived with Hashem near her at all times. The other women in the group were amazed- the description of Malka Bas Eliezer was so close and similar to the midos we had just finished learning in our class a few hours earlier.May she find rest and nachas in her place and may Shaina and her sister Sara and their father be comforted mong the mourners of Tziyon and Yerushalayim.

The shiur in Tehillim is a continuation from last week, and we cover the first 3 pesukim in Perek 23
Saving the best for last, here is a teaching on Lag Baomer- from many great Tzaddikim- and even if you hear this after Lag Baomer itself, it is still so important to understanding the power we have as Jews to Daven, to dance and to understand!
Its wonderful to hear feedback from the listeners of this site- dont hesitate to email, call, or just say hi in the gym ( thanks Leah!)
Blessings from Yerushalayim IHK
