    How to Improve Motivation to Learn & Observe? Post-Modernism!

    Ein Aya Shabbat 3, 1

    Very often even the most motivated & religious feel a lack of enthusiasm to learn Torah or wake up for shul. Similarly, Post-Modernism poses a great challenge for religion. A culture which is based on democracy & freedom, is skeptical about truth, is over-run with "Fake-News", and stresses myself and my "self-awareness" seems like an inevitable threat to Judaism. Rav Kook was a century ahead of his time, and directs us practically how Post-Modernism is meant to be used to our advantage, and help us rise to a new level of spirituality where we do mitzvot out of identification rather than peer pressure. This is the solution to strengthen our motivation whenever it weakens! Also, if looking for "My" Torah, when can one disagree with his rabbi? A Super-Important lesson & Game-Changer in education!

    Ways of Study

    An Introduction to Jewish Faith Studies

    In prior generations, Yeshiva study placed greatest emphasis upon the study of Talmud. We, though, the students of Rabbi A.I. Kook, follow in the ways of our master who called for greater weight to be placed upon faith-oriented studies in our age.

    Ways of Study

    Concerning the "Revadim" Approach

    What is known as the "Revadim" approach to Talmud study developed and was nurtured via methods of reasoning which originate in the academic world. The university, though, is a place for the development of empirical, human wisdom, not Torah wisdom.

    Preperation for Shavuot

    “...First Bless Over The Torah”

    Torah calls for preparation. The Patriarchs preceded the giving of the Torah, and, as the foundation of the Jewish people, fulfilled the entire Torah even before it was given. This measure was taken as a kind of preparation for receiving the Torah.

    The Giving of the Torah

    Receiving Torah Like Children

    Mount Sinai's greatness lies in the fact that it is smaller than the rest of the mountains. This is how the Jewish people came to receive Torah, like a child that wants to absorb the words despite the fact that he does not understand them.

    Rabbi David Dov Levanon | Shavuot 5760
