Partners for Life: Chassidic Perspectives on Marriage |
1 |
Rabbi Hershel Reichman |
| In this Torah shiur (class) on the Torah view of marriage based on the philosophy of Chassidut, Rabbi Hershel Reichman describes marriage as a central theme in the Torah. The first story regarding people in the Torah is the narrative of Adam marrying Chava (Eve.) The first mitzva given Man in the Torah is the mitzva to bear children, "pru u'revu". Chassidut explains that this world is characterized by a confrontation between physicality and spirituality. The fundamental purpose of humanity is to discover the 'holy sparks' of the Divine in the physical reality. Marriage is the central arena for achieving this goal. This Torah class is available online in streaming video and for download in mp3 and ipod video formats. |

Rabbi Hershel Reichman |
| In this Torah shiur (class) on the true meaning of marriage, according to the Chassidic discourses of the Shem Mishmuel, Rabbi Hershel Reichman describes marriage as the solution to the human problem called death, as children are both a physical and spiritual continuation of their parents. A marriage is a re-enactment of Creation, and the primary vehicle for Chessed, which is the basic trait of G-d's creation. This Torah class is available online in streaming video and for download in mp3 and ipod video formats. |

Rabbi Hershel Reichman |
| In this Torah class (shiur) on the Chassidic outlook on marriage, Rabbi Hershel Reichman presents the marriage of Avraham and Sarah, the first Jewish marriage, as the prototype for all Jewish marriages. Avraham Avinu's main trait was his intellect. Sarah's main trait was strength of character. Thus, the wife primarily deals with the physical/emotional level, and the husband with the intellectual/Torah level. This Torah class is available online in streaming video and for download in mp3 and ipod video formats. |
