  Daily Mishna #22: Berachot 4:4

  Oct 2, 20262 min

  Rabbi Joseph Dana records a short daily Mishnah class, working through all of Mishnah a few minutes at a time. Mishnah Berachot 4:4 - the Mishnah teaches that a person who makes his prayer a fixed obligation, something to just get done, has a prayer that is not truly a plea. It then gives the short prayer for a dangerous place: "Save, Hashem, Your people, the remnant of Israel; at every crossing may their needs be before You." The class explains that tefillah is about connecting to Hashem, and that even in danger a person still prays. Rabbi Dana also brings the Bartenura on the phrase "every crossing," which is read as a request that Hashem stay connected to us even at times when we have drifted away. --- Chapters: (0:00) Tefillah is connection, not obligation (0:30) Prayer as a fixed task (1:00) The short prayer in a dangerous place (1:30) The Bartenura on "every crossing" (1:55) Stay connected even when we drift --- Visit: westdealshul.org Sponsorships: west.deal.classes@gmail.com

  Daily Mishna #21: Berachot 4:3

  Oct 1, 20264 min

  Rabbi Joseph Dana records a short daily Mishnah class, working through all of Mishnah a few minutes at a time. Mishnah Berachot 4:3 - the Mishnah introduces the abridged Amidah, Havineinu, which replaces the thirteen middle blessings with one request for understanding. It sets out three opinions on when it may be said: never, when a person is too preoccupied to concentrate, or only when the text is not fluent in his mouth. The class explains how the commentaries read the third opinion, and why the halacha today is that Havineinu is not said at all. --- Chapters: (0:00) The abridged Amidah: Havineinu (1:15) Opinions: never, or if preoccupied (1:58) Rabbi Akiva: if the text is fluent (2:45) Even then, he must be unable to focus (3:30) Halacha: not said today --- Visit: westdealshul.org Sponsorships: west.deal.classes@gmail.com

  Daily Mishna #20: Berachot 4:2

  Sep 30, 20265 min

  Rabbi Joseph Dana records a short daily Mishnah class, working through all of Mishnah a few minutes at a time. Mishnah Berachot 4:2 - Rabbi Nechunya ben HaKana would say two short prayers in the Beit Midrash: on entering, that no harm come from his Torah learning, and on leaving, thanks for his portion as one who learns rather than one who idles on the street corners. The class walks through the Rishonim's explanations of the entering prayer, the practical halacha that the Rambam counts both prayers as obligations, and why most study halls today do not say them. --- Chapters: (0:00) Rabbi Nechunya ben HaKana's two prayers (1:14) The entering prayer: three explanations (2:30) The leaving prayer: thanks for my lot (3:00) Halacha and why it isn't practiced today --- Visit: westdealshul.org Sponsorships: west.deal.classes@gmail.com

  Rabbi Moses Hidary – Rain, Attitude, & Simcha | Sukkot

  Sep 29, 202638 min

He opens with a community note on the rise of sports gambling and why it belongs on our radar.
