Bo – And you will know that I am the Lord your God/ Yonatan Lavi

Musar Avicha Shul Posted on January 30, 2020 by BaruchFebruary 19, 2020

When reading about the Ten Plagues in Egypt, we are all amazed at the miracles that Hashem made for His people. But none of us are amazed at the dramatic event that happened this morning – the sun rising in the sky! Habit has made us unappreciative of nature around us, but we must know that even what seems the most trivial to us should not be taken for granted. The sun rises and sets every day only because this is the will of Hashem. And if He decides that things should be different – so they will be.

Vayechi – Jewish Connection to the Land / Boaz Leaman

Musar Avicha Shul Posted on January 9, 2020 by BaruchJanuary 10, 2020

Parashat Vayechi ends the book of Bereshit and the period of our forefathers. In his last days, Yaakov calls all his sons to come to him because he wants to bless them. His blessings include what seems like a prophecy to what is going to happen in their future and in the division of the tribal lands by Yehoshua.

Musar Avicha Shul Posted on December 18, 2019 by BaruchDecember 21, 2019

How many Chanuka candles do we light and why? Beit Hillel say we increase the number and Beit Shammai say we decrease. The Gemara asks why? Beit Shammai: The number of lights corresponds to the bulls of the Festival. Beit Hillel: he gave a reason for his actions, one elevates to higher level in matters of sanctity and one does not downgrade.

Vayishlach – The Value of Money

Musar Avicha Shul Posted on December 12, 2019 by BaruchDecember 12, 2019

Benjamin Franklin once said, “Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it”. The simple explanation for this quote is that it is not just important to save money, but rather to enjoy and indulge in it. We as Jews can take this expression and make it into something much more spiritual. One of the most essential foundations of Judaism is that religion and spirituality can only be achieved in the material world.

Vayetze – True Thanksgiving

Musar Avicha Shul Posted on December 5, 2019 by BaruchDecember 5, 2019

Analogies are one of the most common tools used by our Sages to teach Jewish values. In the Midrash Piskta Rabati (13) our Sages give an analogy that expresses the relationship between Am Yisrael  and Hashem. A young boy is being carried on his father’s shoulders.  The father carries his son through markets and buildings and the son feels on top of the world. One day as his father walks though the market, the young son turns to a merchant and asks him, “Have you seen my father?”

Toldot – The Mission of Education

Musar Avicha Shul Posted on November 28, 2019 by BaruchNovember 28, 2019

Education is one of the most powerful tools in the world. It enables us to transmit deep and meaningful characteristics and skills to almost anyone. Education helps us learn how to become better people. It is ultimately, a way of bringing us closer to Hashem. One might assume that education is an easy and codified process but in fact, it is an incredibly difficult one, as we will see in this article.
