Shiur Lezecher Nishmas Frankie Ehrenberg - Mordechei Gedalyahu Ben Moshe ZT”L
A rabbi delivers a heartfelt shiur (Torah lesson) on the yahrzeit of Frankie Ehrenberg, a 23-year-old who passed away 23 years ago. The speaker uses Frankie's memory as a launching point to explore the reality of the neshamah (soul), drawing on Reb Nachman's teaching that giving up is impossible, and emphasizing that bringing joy to others is among the holiest acts a person can perform.
The Task of Now
A yeshiva Torah lecture ('Seder Musar') covers two main themes from Parshat Beha'alotcha: the deeper meaning of Shabbos as 'your happy day' (Yom Simchashem) based on the Sifri and Rav Pincus, and a personal reflection on the Levites' changing roles at age 50 as a metaphor for embracing the 'task of now' at different life stages. The session also features live musical performances and concludes with informal announcements about a volleyball game.
Goodbye Simon - Parshas Behaaloscha
A rabbi delivers a Torah lesson on Parshas Behaaloscha focusing on Miriam's punishment for speaking about Moses, using it to explore themes of underestimating others (lashon hara), brief prayer (tefillah ketzara), and the power of connection beyond language. The session culminates in a farewell for Simon, a Mexican student who spent the year at the yeshiva despite a language barrier.
