Mayanot Moment: Tetzaveh (3:52)
The High Priest wears a headband that covers the forehead which covers the frontal lobe.

The Chassidic View of Inner Contentment (34:39)
What do you do when your dashboard lights go on? Fix the problem or ignore them? Rabbi Chaim Miller would ignore the lights. We despise any physical or emotional pain; inner contentment should always be a priority. Chassidus is a powerful tool for coping with painful emotions. Remember that G-d loves us, cares about our lives and has a plan.
Rabbi Chaim Miller (49)

The Day of Jewish Unity (50:44)
A child can break a twig, but a bundle of twigs can resist the strongest man. Parshas Netzavim, read before Rosh Hashana, is about unity.

Love Your Fellow As Yourself (8:23)
Loving your fellow incorporates the entire Torah. How can I love every Jew if I don't like some people? Rabbi Levi Kaplan expands on chapter 32 of Tanya, also known as Perek Lev, the portion of the heart. The Alter Rebbe exhorts us to love every Jew, even if their only positive quality is that they are a creation of G-d.
Rabbi Levi Kaplan (54)

The Tanya's Revolution (14:07)
Tanya was the world's first self-help book. The Alter Rebbe, Baal HaTanya, wrote that each Jew has a piece of the divine essence located at the center of his being and he can discover his answers within himself.

Filial love, a softer, more natural type of love, allows for self- sacrifice. Rabbi Laibl Wolf continues his categorization of different types of love. The love between a parent and child, siblings, close friends and long term spouses can be represented by the intense brotherly love between Yonatan and David. Filial love lends itself to self negation.
