so sorry

We computer users et al realize this happens from time to time.
I apologize that I will be unable to tune in at 10PM, as there is a conflict on Mon nites with another program that is not available online or in mp3s, so I will have to catch up another evening.

Wishing you hatzlacha

Profound Class

A very profound class, I need to hear it again to really get it. Facinating ideas, amazing class. Thank you.

I didn't like it

I did not like this class as much as other ones. It remained too abstract, I did not feel it came full circle in really applying it to our real lives as the Rabbi usually does so masterfully.

the wood gatherer

I learned a profound lesson in listening to this teaching. Learning to value the physical and spiritual realms in balance to bring forth Holiness in the malchut is hard work. Often times I am too quick to value the spiritual over the physical and am unwilling to work out and wrestle through the hard realities during the week in order to create the space that God wishes to occupy on that seventh day of sabbath rest. It has made me re-think my own sinful actions in comparing the work of the two trees of the Garden! It made me examine my own materialistic values and spiritual expectations. I have listened three times to this teaching and still have not been able to comprehend it fully... but it continues to unfold upon each hearing. Thank you for sharing it.

Sources

Well done. See "Sod Yesharim Tanina", it is a general theme in his books. This was written by the Radzhiner Rebbe, #3 in the Ishbitz line.

אבקש ממכם שתשימו mp3
גם עבור התוכנית של שבוע הבא
שהוא מעין התוועדות
כדי שיהיה אפשר להורידו .כי ביא ניסן לא היה
וכדאי שיהיה . יישר כוח מראש.

Loi Choimah

Baruch HaShem,

I am unemployed. My Doctor told me I should not work until October. Because I am handicaped, I can go to business school without tuition for 3 months. I thought it is a very good opportunity. I can train myself for commuting to work everyday and organizing the daily requirement, so that when I start real work, I would not panick. But in your class in 2010, I learned "Ani Choimah Zu Torah" The story of Yavneh. So I decided myself to acquire Torah wisdom till Simchat Torah 5771. But my doctor disagreed. And I know the story of spy. They wanted to remain in the spiritual domain and it was mistake. I wondered which way I should go. This beautiful shiur answered the question. First, I will go to Yavneh. I will acquire spiritual connection to HaShem and Torah that will not be cut off, and protect me when I go into the world of Etza Hadas and work hard.

Spiritual Ecstasy

Baruch HaShem

I could understand the mistake of the spys. After attending your shiur in spiritual ecstasy, it is difficult to go back to mundane world.
