The Kabbalah Behind Torah and Mitzvot (1:05:17)
Like birds, our mitzvahs need 2 wings to fly. Rabbi Shloma Majeski explains how the rituals of the mitzvahs connect us to G-d. The love and fear of G-d provide the wings to fly. These points are illustrated with some poignant stories, including the story behind the Lubavitcher Rebbe's sefer Torah.

Rabbi Shloma Majeski explains that the spirituality we are immersed in on Shabbos carries over into the week, until we recharge again on the next Shabbos.

How would G-d destroy the world if he wanted to? Rabbi Shloma Majeski explains that G-d created the world and sustains everything with his words.
