Simchas Avraham

By Avraham Avinu bringing up his son, Yitzchak, for the akeida, he brought out his true self.

Avraham Avinu was the one who ingrained in us and the capability to overcome challenges, tests, and adversity. It can be done.

Every time a person davens, learns, or does any good deed - it doesn’t go for naught. Everything helps, even though the kavana may not be there.

The test of lech lecha that Avraham Avinu overcame, wasn’t necessarily leaving that which he knew. Rather it was that he didn’t ask any questions.

Perhaps we’re not supposed to look at a rainbow because that’s not the way the world is right now. Just keep on going, and after all is said and done, the proverbial rainbow will appear.

Not only was Noach the one who saved the world, but Avraham Avinu also had that same capability to save Sedom. That is the power of a Tzadik.. to save a one keep alive the world.

The Torah goes out its way specifically to tell us Noach was the one who kept the world going. If not for him, it would’ve gone back to complete oblivion.

Understanding what the world stands on and how to remind ourselves of it, may give us an understanding as to how to overcome our enemies.

By resting a person rejuvenates which is also doing something. And that’s how Shabbos works.

The calendar is set up this year in a way that one can take advantage of a major opportunity.

The joy of Simchas Torah isn’t necessarily that we finished the Torah, it’s what we’ll learn in the future.

The Torah ends off with the breaking of the luchos to teach us that a person can have their own “broken luchos”. But afterwards don’t think it’s over. Start again from Bereshis.

One whom it pains to be in the sukkah is exempt because he’s missing the point of being in the sukkah.

What’s the difference between shofar and lulav when they’re not taken on shabbos? A question.

The Vilna Gaon reveals to us the holiness of these days between Yom Kippur and Sukkos.

Sukkos is now right after Yom Kippur to show that just like abstaining from eating is a mitzvah, eating can also be made into a mitzvah.

The Chasam Sofer gives us a fascinating insight as to how the aveiros turn into mitzvos.

By going above and beyond that which one is commanded during these days, we can look back and realize what we can really become.

The chiddush of Teshuva is not only wiping the slate clean, but also the realization that the aveira was totally inappropriate to begin with.

By acting differently on Rosh Hashana, you show HKB"H the real you.

Rosh Hashana is specifically before Yom Kippur to not only show that we accept His rulership, it also gives a a “good feeling” going into the Aseres Ymei Teshuva and Yom Kippur.

By writing down what you learn, you don’t just understand things better … you gain something much more valuable.

Moshe Rabbeinu’s petirah on Zayin Adar isn’t a bad omen. This vort is related a previous one that isn't on any public platform. If you'd like that recording (as is referred to at the end) please feel free to reach out to me at the email in the description.

The parsha shows us that teshuva is closer than we think. You just have to want.

We learn from Yaakov Aveinu that’s we should learn from the past and say to ourselves that we can overcome difficulties.
