Traveling on Succos

Succos is about thinking about the exile and going out of Egypt. Turning it into a traveling vacation for the entire family, sorta takes away from its purpose. If I have a choice of staying home these days, it is worth it, just to eat one more meal in the succah. Also, when you go [...]

ilovetorah donations down 80%

I am mainly looking for monthly commitments as I need to upgrade to a better dedicated server and pay more monthly. This will run me close to a thousand dollars more a year but if I don’t do it, we only have 1 day backups which is dangerous if the sites go down. As you [...]

Kotzk and Pshicha

Once again, after reading stories about the holy Rabbi’s of Pshicha and Kotzk, I have been moved to intertwine their methods into my life and ilovetorah fans. In Pshicha which sorta came first, Rav Simcha Bunim once said, “It is not my job to be like Abraham, it is only my job to be like [...]

Take me out of Egypt!

Take me out of Egypt! That is what this holiday is all about. But how come we don’t celebrate Succos before Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Because, the holiday is so pure and holy that we needed these previous ones in order to cleanse ourselves. If a person knew the true greatness of being in [...]

New Beginnings are Difficult

Everyone stepped away from Yom Kippur feeling good but not really watching the creature attacking them from behind. You see, all day Yom Kippur, he couldn’t touch us but now the Satan, evil inclination had a day off to think of a new plan for the upcoming year.

Therefore, if your new beginning has already [...]

HELP

My Yom Kippur Video has already been seen by thousands. The nicest comment was from a teenager that said that every year he hates this holiday since he can’t watch TV or play games. This year will be the first year he understands and he is now happy to keep the day holy.

These thousands [...]

So I laughed too. His laughter became loader and before I knew it, we were laughing together and he was still sleeping. I [...]

Buy Some Popcorn! It is Video Time!

I just returned from doing an hour long video at Gibon Waterfalls in the Golan Heights. It was here that I told the life story of the Yid Hakodesh from Pshicha. This might be our longest video lasting almost an hour. The falls were literally breathtaking and very inspirational.

Video Quality update! Recently, I have increased the [...]

Most Important Chassidic Reading

If you want to understand airplances, you start by reading about the Wright brothers. Should you want to learn about American History, you learn about Columbus and good old Abramham Lincoln. If you want to understand Litvish philosophy, you read about the Goan, Reb Moshe, Rav Aharon and Rav Shach. Now if you want to [...]

War with Syria

I feel we will have a war with Syria this year but it will not be a big deal to defeat them. In fact, it will be too easy and instead of using too little power as with Hisballah, Israel will use too much power against Syria. As we know, the real wars today are [...]
