  • Daas Tevunos 3 - Why do we have to work so Hard?
    Jan 2 2022

    In the next couple episodes we will ask: Why do we have to be good to go to heaven? Can't He just give us stuff - I mean, He's totally good right? -- Oh yeah, we'll give some answers too, so that makes it interesting! This is an original explanation of the sefer not to be found anywhere but here. (Rav Tzvi Hirsh Davidovitch, posek and mekubal, told me that it's correct, and explained that I was able to bring it down because spiritual vessels came down in the past 100 years that made it possible. He said the Torah of the Ketzos (commentary on Choshen Mishpat - laws of business and damages etc..) helped to form those vessels. And today is the author of the Ketzos's yortzeit!)

    We'll be clarifying Ramchal "contradictions." --- In this episode we'll give the answer I gave that kid in Yeshiva that I wish I would empathized with instead of just giving answers to. Then we'll make it all worse... then we'll get back to the first answer...

  • Daas Tevunos 2 - Why are things so lousy all the time? (From section 1-19 in the text)
    Nov 8 2021

    The soul says "It looks like so much stinks, What gives? I know there must be some sort of explanation, God knows what's up, eh?" The Intellect says, "Yeah, you got it, let's start 'splaining stuff!" And so the foundation to getting some understanding of Life, the Universe and Everything is now being laid!

  • Daas Tevunos - Intro and Beginning - Elbinger
    Aug 27 2021

    In this episode/shiur, we discuss why Daas Tevunos is life changing and amazing, and why we just got to learn it (And perhaps we are chayiv to learn it!).. With the beginning of the sefer, we discuss what Emunah is, and address the Blind Faith vs. Intellectual Faith dichotomy.
