Stern ztl, Rabbi Moshe Aharon on |
Blowing the Shofar during Elul should stir our need for Teshuva. But the truth is, Yom Hadin just doesn't seem so frightening any more. What can help wake us up from our deadened state of performing mitzvos from rote? Rav Stern gives a surprising answer, with practical advice from the Steipler Rav on the Teshuva we hope to arouse.
Most observant people know that God is much closer to us during 'the 10 days of Teshuva.' For instance, we know that when we pray in a minyan our prayers are more readily accepted, yet there are special times when they are accepted when we pray alone. And what is the power of tefillah that can propel us directly before the kisay hakavod?
Our Sages say "Search for Hashem When He is to be Found". But isn't God always findable when we look? In this thought-provoking talk on prayer and teshuvah, Rav Stern explains how to take a sharp look at your daily actions, and how to project their consequences on to the year ahead.
In this interesting talk, Rabbi Moshe Aaron Stern delves into the puzzling story of Yonah the prophet, and Nineveh, the non-Jewish city to which he was sent to demand their repentance. Yonah was in fact the only prophet ever who was sent to implore non-Jews to repent. How come? The Rabbi's inspired answer to the question can change the way you prepare for this year's Yom Kippur experience.
Chanukah is the time of miracles. The question Rabbi Stern poses is why don't we see supernatural events occurring in the world today? He describes how we are in fact surrounded by the miraculous, and explains how learning Torah opens ones eyes to witness miracles as they unfold.
In addition to discussing the Bein Hazmanim Blues, Rav Stern explores the finer lines of taking another’s belongings, or the ubiquitous ‘borrowing’ that often goes on in good spirit. This improper way of thinking may force us to take a second, much harder look at something so fundamental.
