GA 004
How did our 1st patriarch Abraham prepare a cow so quickly for his three visitors? Rabbi Geller gives a rather surprising answer. Famous stories are explained like; the city of Sodom, where his nephew Lot lived; the incest between Lot and his daughters; Sarah's understanding that Yishmael was a bad influence on Isaac, and her need to send him from the house; and Abraham's 10th test, the sacrifice of his beloved son.

KI 004 B
During G-d's visit to Abraham, he excuses himself to help three wayfarers. Was this the right thing to do? In contrast, Lot offers his daughters to his aggressive neighbors to save his guests. Was that proper? The Torah is full of moral quandaries - and so is life. What system prevails to help us determine which direction to take?

LA 004 A
Lot is usually eclipsed by his illustrious uncle Avraham. But even with his close proximity to this spiritual giant how did Lot fail to be uplifted? Rabbi Lopiansky examines how Lot's character cut off his potential for greatness, leaving him to perpetuate himself only through his daughters.

LH 503 A
What better way to introduce the mitzvah of Tefillin than by explaining how donning them increases a person's material abundance. On the practical side, what should I think before I put on Tefillin, and does it matter? Why are we so careful to put them on the muscle of our arm, and above our forehead? What do I perform first, Tzitzit or Tefillin - and why? And for Sepharadim who love to say brachot - why don't they recite two brachot, one on the Tefillin Shel Rosh and one on the Tefillin Shel Yad as the Ashkenazim and Chassidim do?

LH 503 C
So we heard how the Ben Ish Chai made the beracha, let's now hear how he put on his own tefillin. Rabbi Levy, in his graphic and descriptive way, makes us feel as if the Ben Ish Hai is standing by our side and putting on tefillin with us - making sure not to leave out any minhagim and secrets that make studying the Ben Ish Chai so special. There's more - hear the real reason Bnei Sepharad wear the tefillin of Rabbeinu Tam as well.

LH 503 D
More Hilchot Rabbeinu Tam, but on a higher level: If these tefillin are so great, why don't we make a beracha on them as well? In steps the Ramchal for a special appearance and his explanation on the role tefillin have in perfecting a Jew.

WG 004
In a puzzling event from this weeks Torah portion Sarah laughs when G-d tells her she will have a baby at the age of 90, and soon after this she appears to lie when Avraham confronts her disbelief. How can we attribute such behavior to this most saintly first lady? Hear how Rabbi Wagensberg recasts the apparent faults of our greatest pioneers into proper perspective.

WG 004 B
What did Hashem really want of Avraham when He issued the command to bring Yitzchak up as an offering? Rabbi Wagensberg builds a picture of the intensity of love our patriarch felt for his long-awaited son, and the herculean task that faced him of directing all of that emotion toward His creator. How does this mirror the first test Avraham faced when asked to leave his father’s house?

WG 004 E
In this weeks Torah portion the fundamental pillar of Chesed is discussed in several places. Rabbi Wagensberg raises the mitzvah of doing a favor for someone to a completely new dimension of impacting society, and it having an everlasting effect throughout the generations.

WG 004 F
We all have our tests in life. Sometimes they seem to overwhelm us. Sometimes we actually feel that thunder clouds are gathering above us that are creating a very tense darkness. In this talk, Rabbi Wagensberg will give us the stamina to walk in the footsteps of Abraham our ancestor, who was equally tested of greatness and surmounted them!
