The DataBeis with Rabbi Yehoshua Eisenberg

An overview of the Rosh HaShannah Machzor which will simplify the otherwise complex Davening and address these basic questions about the themes of the Davening: What is U'Nesaneh Tokef about? Why does Rosh HaShannah have so many themes? What exactly are Malchiyos, Zichronos and Shofaros? Why do we need all 3?

The Yomim Nora'im are an Eis Ratzon for Tefilah, and yet Selichos are not an easy time for anyone. But here is a workshop filled with tips and strategies to help you maximize whatever you can devote to the endeavor of Selichos to make it both fruitful and fulfilling. And of course, there are demos of Nusach and songs special for the 'Opening Night' of Selichos.

A few minutes of Mussar and inspiration on Parshas Ki Savo and Elul.

A few minutes of Mussar and inspiration on Elul and Parshas Ki Seitzei.

A panoramic view of Parshas Ki Seitzei with a focus on the following questions: ● Why weren't Yefas To'ar & the War w/ Amaleik recorded in last week's Parsha which discussed war? ● Is Ki Seitzei just a 'Miscellaneous Mitzvah Mishkabobble' or is there a method to this 'Mitzvah Madness'? ● Ready to understand 74 Mitzvos in Under 45 Minutes?

Looking forward to standing in Shul with a Machzor for hours? Do you dread the Yomim Nora’im for all the wrong reasons? Do the 'Days of Awe' sometimes seem more like the 'Days of Ugh'? Maybe you're excited because you're Davening in the Minyan with the best Chazzan ever and the singing is going to be great. But, does the singing actually help you understand the Davening or is it just a convenient...

A few minutes of Mussar and inspiration on Elul and Parshas Shoftim.

A packed workshop for Rosh HaShannah Musaf which takes you from the Hineni through the Chazaras HaShatz, from the opening, to U'Nesaneh Tokef, through Malchiyos, Zichronos, and Shofaros, and all the way to the end of the Davening.

A panoramic view of Parshas Shoftim with a focus on the following questions: ● Is All Fair in Torah & War? ● Why does the Torah interrupt the war series to discuss Eglah Arufah?

A few minutes of Mussar and inspiration on Parshas Shoftim.

A few minutes of Mussar and inspiration on Parshas Re'eih.

A panoramic view of Parshas Re'eih with a focus on the following questions: ● Why is the Bris at Har Eival/Har Gerizim introduced here if it's going to appear again in Ki Savo? ● Why do we need Yerushalayim if Hashem is here, Hashem is there, Hashem is truly everywhere...'

BS'D, a PACKED workshop on the Chazaras HaShatz (Chazan's Repetition) of Rosh HaShannah for BOTH days 1 AND 2. Day 2 can be found at around 55-57 minutes in. Filled with Nusach, Hashkafah, Havanah, tips, strategies, and song options. Enjoy the marathon. More to come, be'H.

Here are 5-6 powerful and popular tune options for Shabbos Mevarchim Elul and Rosh Chodesh Elul. Also, we revisit an important question: Can you Daven for Yiras Shamayim? We appear to in the text of our Davening, so why not? The problem is that Chazal teach that 'everything is in the hands of heaven except awe of heaven.' So, how could we ask heaven to grant it to us?

 A few minutes of Mussar and inspiration on Parshas Re'eih.

A panoramic view of Parshas Eikev with a focus on the following questions: • Why does Moshe keep abandoning chronological order? • 'Shema/V'Ahavta' & 'V'Hayah Im Shamo'a' say almost the same thing. Why say it twice?

Why do we Bentch? To show gratitude? Because the Torah said so? If it's for gratitude, why do we need to be commanded? If it's a commandment, is it pure gratitude? Why isn't it enough to just say, 'Thank you for the food?' Why is the formula for Bentching so complicated and specific, that we have to mention Bris, Torah, Eretz Yisrael and Malchus Beis Dovid just because we ate a slice or 2 of pizza...

The Yomim Nora'im Marathon continues with Shacharis Part I which will provide an overview for Birchos HaShachar and Pesukei D'Zimrah and then walk you leisurely through Shacharis from the pre-HaMelech Niggun to HaMelech all the way through Go'al Yisrael. (Stay tuned for Rosh HaShannah Chazaras HaShatz, Days 1 & 2.)

A few minutes of Mussar and inspiration on Parshas Eikev.

The Yomim Nora'im Marathon resumes with Ma'ariv. We'll review the Nusach and Niggunim for both Rosh HaShannah and Yom Kippur (minus the additional Piyutim/Selichos for Yom Kippur; stay tuned for the Kol Nidrei Night Workshop), taking you from the opening Nay-Nays/Borchu through the final Kaddish, including demos of several variations and tune incorporations as well as some tips, strategies, and Ka...

A panoramic view of Parshas Va'Es'chanan with a focus on the following questions: ● Va'Es'chanan begins with a memory about Moshe's rejected prayers that Hashem allow him entry into Eretz Yisrael. *Why?* How is that relevant to Moshe's discussion here? ● Why does Moshe interrupt his own speech to separate 3 of the Cities of Refuge? ● How did Va'Es'chanan become the Parsha of Moshe's 'Most Quotable...

• What is Tu B'Av and what is it not? • Why is this holiday so special, compared with Yom Kippur? • Why is Tu B'Av a special time for Shidduchim? • Don't hurt me for this one, but what is 'Love'? Or what is the Torah approach to understanding Ahavah between husband and wife?

A workshop filled with thematically appropriate and moving tune options for Shabbos Nachamu, Va'Es'chanan, and Tu B'Av.

The message is simple: Tish'ah B'Av is NOT over, at least not for most intents and purposes (not the most important ones anyway). We're still in Galus and the Churban has not been reversed. So, what do we do now?
