Practical Judaism |
Rabbi Ari Jacobson |
| Rabbi Jacobson continues discussing proper treatment of Hashem's Names, both spoken and written. Particular emphasis is placed on brachot l'vatala and pages with Hashem's name on it. Interesting facts include the writing of Hashem's name in a foreign language, using Hashem's name in a letter or other correspondence, correct means of disposing of papers with a form of Hashem's name on them, how to handle published Sifrei Kodesh (holy books), and the difference between a bracha l'vatala (a brocha in vain) and a bracha she'eina tzricha (an unnecessary bracha). |

Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur Davening: Open the Gates! |
Rabbi Michael Taubes |
| In the first class of the series, Rabbi Taubes discusses the obligation for prayer, and discusses Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur as times of great need, and are therefore specifically designated as days of prayer. However, these days are also deemed as days of joy. Rabbi Taubes discusses the conflicting and complementary themes of Rosh Hashana. These can be learned from delving into the meaning of the names of Rosh Hashana. Rabbi Taubes then goes into the actual davening of Rosh Hashana, by explaining the changes at the beginning of the Rosh Hashana davening. The class explicates the addition of 'zachrenu l'chaim' to the first bracha of Shemoneh Esrei, the expanded bracha of Hamelech Hakadosh. Rabbi Taubes continues the shiur with the dicussion of the middle bracha of the Rosh Hashana davening, which summarizes the theme of the day. The shiur ends with the explanation of Rav Soloveitchik for why Psalm 24 is recited after the Rosh Hashana Amida, and the message of Psalm 27, 'l'Dovid Hashem Ori', which is recited from Rosh Chodesh Elul through Yom Kippur. |

Chassidut on the Parsha II |
Rabbi Hershel Reichman |
| In this week's Parsha, Parshat Masei, Rabbi Hershel Reichman disucces the significance of the Torah's listing of all of the places where the Jewish People camped during their 40 year sojourn in the desert. The stops in the Desert are symbols of confrontations with evil, either by fleeing from evil or by confronting it. Yosef Hatzadik's test in Egypt can be seen as reflecting the two methods. In conclusion, Rabbi Reichman discusses living in Eretz Yisael and conquering the forces of evil. This Torah class is available online in streaming video and for download in mp3 and ipod video formats. |

Sefer Yirmiyahu II |
Rabbi Avishai David |
| In this shiur on the 17th chapter of Yirmiyahu, Rabbi Avishai David talks about the different levels of Bitachon, Trust in G-d, as mentioned by Yirmiyahu Hanavi. Rabbi David includes the famous disagreement of the Rambam and the Ramban about effectiveness of modern medicine, and the contrasting opinions of Rabbenu Bachya and R'Avraham ben HaRambam regarding Bitachon.
