My Destiny as a Jew (47:59)
Being a part of the chosen nation must have its perks, right? Well, so far, it seems like the grand total of those fringe benefits have been a genocide every generation or two. So what is it that G-d wants from me? Why was I born into this faith? What does it really mean to be a part of the “Chosen Nation?” This lecture took place at the 12th annual National Jewish Retreat

11 Nissan, Passover, and Perceptions (57:18)
Why does the book of Exodus start by saying "These are the names of the Jews that are coming to Egypt" instead of "that came to Egypt"? Are Jews defined by their sins? Must we always try to find redeeming qualities about someone and judge them favorably even if they seem irredeemable?.

Tanya Chapter 26 Part 3 (49:14)
How do we deal with pain and tragedies? Emotional anguish is much greater than physical pain. The question of why an innocent person’s life had an early and abrupt ending will hurt much more than the actual pain resulting from the loss

How do we get the oil out without crushing the olive? Rabbi Dov Yona Korn begins with Purim and the Jew’s acceptance of the Torah even though they are in exile, and struggling with existence.

Does God Slumber When We Sleep? (55:13)
Megillas Esther was written under the influence of the Spirit of G-d. Rabbi Avrohom Bergstein discusses the essential bond that G-d has with a Jew. The point of the needle, where it has no dimensions, is like the point of contact where G-d knocks on the door of the Jewish soul. Being an infinite point, connecting to the infinity of G-d, there is no element of time.
