AVODAH ALIVE

by Rabbi Levi Lebovits

Season 2

WE NEED EACH OTHER

Rabbi continues discussing this amazing paradigm shift, from improvement as a personal issue to it becoming an issue to benefit Klal Yisroel first. Challenging and remarkable, you'll enjoy this idea.

WE ARE ALL CONNECTED

It is not only important to improve you, for you. It's important for you to improve, as a part of the whole of the Jewish people. This is truly a life changing idea. Enjoy.

YOU, AS A BAIS HAMIGDASH

Rabbi begins the transition from Tisha B'Av to Rosh Hashanaha discussing the loss of the Bais HaMIgdash, and how it relates to each of us at a very personal level. This is a must-hear discussion.

WHY DO WE MOURN?

Tisha B'Av is a special day on the Jewish calendar. But Rabbi has a different take on it which should give you a new way to approach the fast day, and achieve growth from it as well.

APPRECIATE YOUR CONNECTION

Tisha b'av will be here shortly and Rabbi wants it to be more than just feeling bad about things that happened hundreds of years ago. Sure, we mourn our losses from long ago, but this is also a time to make a connection, and make our tears count towards something today, something that helps us make a more meaningful connection with our growth and learning.

THE POINT OF TEARS

What's the point of crying over events 2000 plus years in our past? Because the tears themselves, are incredibly valuable to our spiritual and personal growth. Rabbi explains in a powerful podcast that will have you rethinking how you approach the three weeks.

EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN

Rabbi explains why growth does not come from learning something new all the time. Growth comes from taking what you know, what already have in your world, and exploring it again and again and again. It's the repetition that brings us to the place we want to be and helps unlock doors for us to move forward with our growth. A fascinating talk, one not to miss.

BUILDING A HOME FOR TORAH

Rabbi continues to show the parallel between marriage and learning, and it'll make you shake your head and wonder why no one ever uncovered this for you before. But that's why Rabbi's insights are so important to our daily life. Enjoy the next step ijnto developing a strong Torah bond than ever before.

QUESTIONS KEEP THE CONNECTION ALIVE

Today, Rabbi discusses how answers don't stimulate growth. Only when you question and continue to question, can you unlock the many layers the Torah has to offer. It's similar to a marriage - by asking questions, you deepen the relationship and learn more and more about each other. Same when you 'marry' the Torah. Listen, and discover.

SHAVUOS CREATES OUR MARRIAGE

Some look at the holiday of Shavuos not only as our receiving the Torah, but more like a bridegroom and a bride coming together in marriage. The Torah is more than just our rules and laws - it's the fabric that holds Jews together. Rabbi elaborates on this and the idea that Shavuos is also a time to challenge yourself to not just settle for mastering something, but to use it as a jumping off point to something even greater.
