Program #81 – Elul and Teshuva #5 “A look at the Soul”
In this program we look at the varied views of the soul. We have heard teachings that depict man as a trichotomy and dichotomy. Are these really the views of the Bible? Are these really Shaul’s (Paul) views? Or, was Shaul saying something deeper? Before we can repair the damage caused by sin we must understand how we were created. This may bse a different approach. Nevertheless it captures the essence of the Biblical view of the soul.

Tuesdays on ARBA4
Program #80 – Elul and Teshuva #4 “Repairing the Damage caused by sin”
In this program we look at the connections we have to the Torah as a means for purifying ourselves from the sins of the year. We look at Perki Avot 4:2 where we are told that the consequence of a mitzvah is a mitzvah and that the consequence of sin is sin. This reminds us of the passage where we are told that what we sow is what we reap. We look at how to stop the process and find a path towards purity.

The Hebrew word is usually translated “Herb.” In this Taste of Hebrew we look at other possible ways to translate this word. This word causes us to move outside the lexicon for definitive clarification.

The Gates Program #140 – Rosh haShanah – Yom haKiseh – Shofarot - Moedim #35
Rosh haShanah is the time of the covered moon (Kiseh) as each Rosh haShanah occurs on a New Moon. This title for Rosh HaShanah has a hidden message as this is an obscure reference to the throne (kiseh) of the King. What makes this so interesting is that the Messiah will have his coronation on a future Rosh haShanah.
Elul and Teshuvah #2
Torah Focus 01 Sep 2009 | : Midrashim, Torah Focus
Midrashim – with Dr. Walter Oakley
Tuesdays on ARBA4
Program #78 – Elul and Teshuva #2 “The Neshama”
In this program continues the look at the month of Elul as the month of repentance. In this program we begin to look at the internal contamination of the soul (Nefesh/ Neshamah) by sin. This program is preparatory for a look at the genuine role of Teshuvah and the Mitzvot. This evening marks the transition into the period of introspection, called Teshuvah. During this time it is customary we begin to look inward.
