Remember 6 - Mount Sinai

This is the final shiur in the series on the Six Remembrances that I gave at Midreshet Rachel (I know that there are only 4 shiurim and there are 6 remembrances, but I only had a four week slot). It deals with the mitzvah to remember the Giving of the Torah and the Sinai experience.
The shiur discusses the famous Gemara in Menachot where Moshe Rabbeinu goes to see Rabbi Akiva giving shiur, and the contrast with the other gemarot which show that Moshe received all of the Torah on Mount Sinai, including the laws that the Rabbis would create in the future.

By coincidence (or not really coincidence) these Six Remembrances are the topics that I am researching and writing about for www.torahlab.org. Have a look at their website for their current products, and hopefully in the next couple of months we will be adding several new series of shiurim. Your feedback is greatly appreciated on these shiurim.

Enjoy

Shabbat Shalom

Remember Amalek

This is the latest in my series of shiurim on the Six Remembrances. It is about remembering what Amalek did to us when we left Egypt (and therefore is also connected to Parshat Hashavua). I talk about Amalek, Purim, masks, time, Moshe, atomic half-life, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and patterns in randomness.

Also, if you enjoy this shiur please go to jblog and vote for it. It is embarrassing having no votes over there. Click here to see this post on jblog and click on the button to vote for it. There is also lots of other interesting stuff to look for while you are there.

Don't forget to check out my parsha blog: www.parshatshavua.blogspot.com. There are several divrei Torah on parshat Beshalach. You can also sign up for my weekly e-mail from there (though for some reason the past two weeks the e-mail hasn't worked - hopefully problem to be corrected by this week).

Shabbat Shalom and enjoy
