Rabbi Hershel Reichman |
| In this shiur (Torah class), Rabbi Hershel Reichman discusses the unique spiritual characteristics of the month of Iyar. As the month in between Pesach and Shavuot, Iyar represents a more distant relationship with G-d. Yet, despite this distance, Rabbi Reichman explains the strong connection that bonds the Jewish people with the Almighty. |

Mrs. Shira Smiles |
| On Pesach night we were inspired by G-d’s revelation of the Torah. By counting upward, as we work on ourselves, we ascend in greatness. We have the opportunity over the next 49 days to return to the level of matan Torah. Each person should determine where they need improvement in their service of G-d (Avodat Hashem) and spend each day developing and growing closer to Him. |

Rabbi Hanoch Teller |
| Redemption from slavery in Egypt freed us from purposeless work to embrace a life of purpose with the Torah. Achieving happiness is a battle of self control. Rabbi Teller discusses how reducing expectations, and feeling gratitude for what we have, will lead us to realize true appreciation, and this will put us on the road to living a life full of happiness. That is real liberation. Available online in streaming video. To purchase mp3 downloads of Rabbi Teller's classes, go to www.ishiur.com. |

Rabbi Beinish Ginsburg |

dichotomy of sefirat haomer; on one hand, it is a time of joyous

mourning for the deaths of the students of Rabbi Akiva. The class

Mrs. Shira Smiles |
| In this shiur (Torah class) on Shavuot, Mrs. Shira Smiles points out that the Torah was supposed to be given on Friday, the fiftieth day of the omer, but was in fact given on Shabbat, the fifty-first. Mrs. Shira Smiles discusses some of the questions regarding this reality. Why did Moshe add an extra day of preparation at har sinai? If the world was waiting since creation for the acceptance of the Torah on Friday, how could Moshe push it off? If the Torah was given on the seventh day of Sivan, then why is the sixth day of Sivan referred to as the day we received the Torah? This Torah class is available online in streaming video and for download in mp3 and ipod video formats. |
