Shmuz #273 Don't Trust Your Brain

We tend to think that our brain is our best friend- we rely on our thoughts to tell us right from wrong, good from bad and truth from lies. So what happened with Korach? How could he be driven to stage such a catastrophic rebellion? The answer is that your brain is a handmaiden to your ego. It’s not always your friend. Listen to this Shmuz to protect yourself against making crazy decisions and gain a deeper insight into who you are. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm...

Tisha B'Av: 2000 Years Later, Where Are We?

For almost 2,000 years, the Jewish people have been driven from land to land across the globe. Exiled from our home with the destruction of the Bais Hamikdash , we have been forced from continent to continent and country to country – tortured, oppressed, and banished. For a short while, we find haven in one country, only to be kicked out again and chased to the next place in a never-ending series of tragedies. This reality brings many questions: Why is the Jewish people so oppressed? Why is it t...

What We Can Do To Bring Geula

Tisha B'Av: What We Lost

On Tisha B’Av, we are expected to mourn many things: the devastation that happened to our people long ago; the almost two thousand years of expulsions, bloodshed, and torture that we have suffered through since then; and finally, the influence on our mindset and lifestyle picked up by living in exile all of these years. While it takes work to actually feel the pain, the issues aren’t that distant, and most of us can relate to them. There is, however, another aspect of the tragedy that is more di...

Tisha B'Av: From Hashem's Perspective

Our understanding of Hashem is often based on a limited interpretation of human nature. Can Hashem get angry with me? Is He punitive, lacking rachmonos? It can sometimes feel that way, as we struggle to understand the Holocaust, the Churban and modern-day tradegies. What is the pain of Hashem? That He wants the geula more than you. That He is waiting, with endless patience, for us to get it right. This Tisha B’Av shmuz will straighten out any crooked thinking, show you where you need to improve ...
