The little Jew said, “I think I can, I think I can”

It is shocking the news today about the India hostages. I really can’t believe it. A chabad house?

My wife was encouraging me to take a trip to Tiberias tonight to relax. I gave her a look and said, “without my video Camera (since it is broken). How do I do that? I don’t take trips like that. What would I do with myself.” You know my friends, my first book as a [...]

Oh my, tonight i had a migraine but I decided to push through it and go through my regular routine. I went to the mikvah and then walked down to the Arizal. You know there are two types of holy places to visit tzaddikim. There is an actual full cemetery, which is what Tzfat has [...]

Today was the election for tzfat mayer. In Israel, elections are similar to the old color war games we used to play in camp. Everyone is into it and voicing themselves. Kids are sent into the streets to hang posters and even a 4 year old knows who their congregation says to vote for. For [...]

Every day I walk down to the Ari and I pray that Hashem shouldn’t take it all away. My mikvah, Synagoge, and Kollel. I reflect upon my life here in my home and its prime location to Kedusha. Why would Hashem want to take this all away? What would I gain from such an event? [...]

Usually we say the yistabach prayer at the conclusion of pesukey dezimra very quickly without attention. This is a very special tefilah that we overlook. The Zohar says, Within it are mentioned the 13 attributes of Mercy from Hashem and to concentrait on this could literally draw down tremendous kindness from Heaven. Also, when you [...]

The halacha teaches us that if a person forgot to say birchas hatorah, they can be yotzei in ahava rabbah which is said right before the shema. That is if they learn Torah right after davening. It also says that if one forgot even then and remembered in the evening prayer, they should think of [...]

Free Videos by Reb Moshe, TorahVideo.comilovetorah.com I just got an email from a new cousin that found the site and is related to me. He submitted this video for everyone to see.

Right now it is pretty clear there is extreme amounts of judgment in the world. Everywhere you turn, there is another person struggling. I am hearing even from those non religious that the only place they are feeling safe right now is the Synagoge. This shows where the answer lies to all our sufferings. We [...]

You have 3 types of people that act in a certain way in all situations of life. For example, we will use the wash basin at the mikvah. One type of person will just wash his hands and not even give a second thought to filling up the basin again after he is finished. This [...]

Once upon a time there was a bmx freestyler who had thousands of people who would come and watch his tricks. It would bring smiles to their faces and watching him would help them get through their difficult days. Then one day, his bicicyle broke and he could no longer do tricks anymore. He wondered [...]

Today at the guy, (yes this is where I receive many spiritual revelations) I was pondering how great is the elevation between these two Sefiros. In fact, if it wasn’t for their connection, there would be no world that we live in. I believe I heard Rabbi Moshe Meir Weiss once say, the distance between [...]

It is pretty clear to me that this no fear policy in serving Hashem I received from the Tanya. The Rebbe tells us that one way to defeat the Satan is to never fear him and his evil. For me, I took this to understand that in my avodas Hashem, if there are warnings not [...]

Today is my eldest sons 7th birthday. We are really happy for him and giving him a small party with his friends. As a father, I look back at the 7 years and think how I could have been a better dad. I see his failors and consider them my own. I also see his [...]

Life without a video camera hasn’t been easy. Sometimes I get an inspiration to do a new Torah Video and then realize that there is no camera. I’m still asked by people, when are you coming out with a new video as it has been a long time. Most people never visit the blog so [...]
