Betrayal is one of the most painful emotions to struggle with, when those we thought loved us turn against us. Often our responses are anger at the person, or at ourselves for being so vulnerable. King David took the experience of betrayal to a new level, as he brought a connection with Hashem into his pain, using it to catapult him to greater growth.
Rebbetzin Heller considers the 5th perek to be King David's 'prayer on how to pray.' She walks us through sentence by sentence explaining the different methods of prayer, and how we can quickly activate the spiritual mechanisms that are within prayer during our deepest times of need.
Our perception of cause and effect leads us to believe that it is our own power that brings about change. Can we allow ourselves to break out of this apparent mindset to consider a different reality? Even though the moments we include Hashem into the picture are few and far between, do we have the intuitive perception that these are truly the holy moments of our lives? An excellent talk spiced with humor and self introspection.
The Megillah of Ruth is known as one that is focused on the attribute of chesed. Rebbetzin Heller focuses on how the various events that took place at this time, from Elimelech's inability to handle being asked to give more than he was able, to Ruth's incredible kindness to her mother-in-law. Learn some aspects of kindness that we never have thought of, and find ways to connect them to our lives.
Many of us are familiar with Ruth, but Rebbetzin Heller explores different angles of the story often left not discussed. Why was Elimelech in the wrong for leaving when he knew he would fail in his job of sustaining the nation in time of famine? What do the names of his two sons teach us – and who were they reincarnations of? And how did Boaz’s response to meeting Ruth show his great spiritual flexibility?
