In the second week of the Sefirah Series, we will (1) "meditate" on the Midas Gevurah, (2) discuss the meaning of the next 7 "Kinyanei Torah" (modes of Torah acquisition) enumerated in Pirkei Avos 6:6, from "Anavah" to "Yishuv," and (3) address the following question: Is the fact that the deaths of Rebbi Akiva's students coincided with Sefirah in fact a mere coincidence?

What is the Secret Avodah of 2nd Days? The Seder is over, so what do we do now? Continue talking about the Exodus? Are we supposed to use the remainder of Pesach to share all of the Divrei Torah on the Haggadah which we have not yet already shared during the Sedarim? Is there a new goal on the horizon?

Are they going to ask you to Daven AGAIN this Pesach? Running out of tunes? "V'Hi SheOmdah" has already been used 30x this past week? Not to worry! In this workshop, I will provide you a whole new selection of great song choices to help you maximize your Ba'al Tefilah experience for the remainder of this Pesach from Chol HaMo'eid to 2nd Days with options for Halleil, Shabbos Davenings, and Kedusha...

In the first week of the Sefirah Series, we will (1) "meditate" on how not only to better apply the Midas Chessed, but how to become balanced Ba'alei Chessed, and (2) discuss the meaning of the first 7 "Kinyanei Torah" (modes of Torah acquisition) enumerated in Pirkei Avos 6:6.

Is it time to put the Mo'eid back in Chol HaMo'eid? How do we do that? Also, what is the purpose of Chol HaMo'eid? Why do we have two 7(8)-day holidays with "intermediate" days?

A crash course in Sefiras HaOmer, in P'shat, Drash and a little bit of Sod, addressing the Halachic, Hashkafic, agricultural, and historical significance, as well as touching on the Kabbalistic significance.

Even if you've been doing the Seder for 20+, 50+, or even 70+ years, you will be surprised by what you may have not known about the Seder process and how to do it right.

The Shmoneh Esreih of Yom Tov Minchah is the easy part; it's the typical Shalosh Regalim Nusach. But, that only starts at the conclusion of Kedushah. Here, we'll focus primarily on what Nusach to use from Ashrei up until that point.

The Shalosh Regalim Marathon continues with Part III, Musaf including meaning of the Davening with demos which will also the introductory Piyut of Kah Keili, Birchas Kohanim.

The Shalosh Regalim Marathon continues with part 2, the Nusach for Yom Tov Shacharis.

What does it mean to "blunt the teeth" of the Rasha or the Wicked Son in the Haggadah? Is the Haggadah actually endorsing any violent treatment of this son? Is that helpful? Is there no more more civil way to address his questions? Also, what does the Rasha look like in real life? And, based on the true meaning of the Haggadah's instructions, how are we supposed to answer him? An important read: h...

It's a "3 legged race" here at Ba'al Tefilah Workshop as we begin the Shalosh Regalim Marathon with part 1, the Nusach for Shalosh Regalim Ma'ariv.

A panoramic view of Parshas Tzav with a focus on the following questions: ● Parshas Vayikra discussed Korbanos. If you were paying attention, you might have noticed that Tzav discusses the SAME Korbanos. What then does Tzav add to Vayikra? ● If you were paying even more attention, you might have noticed that the order of the Korbanos change between Vayikra and Tzav. Why did that happen?      Vayik...

■ Why is Shabbos HaGadol called Shabbos HaGadol? Why is this Shabbos greater than others? IS it greater? ■ And is Shabbos HaGadol really this coming Shabbos (which is also Erev Pesach) or was it last Shabbos? ■ Why is there a Minhag to read the Haggadah this Shabbos? ■ What can we learn from the Haftarah and Yotzros of Shabbos HaGadol? We'll cite several, fascinating answers to these questions.

A panoramic view of Parshas Vayikra with a focus on the following questions: ● Why is the Sefer called "Vayikra"-"And He called"? Who is calling out and why is He yelling? What's the big announcement? ● What is the point of Korbanos? Why are we learning about Korbanos now anyway? What is the meaning of each kind of Korban?

What if I told you that we just might have been reading the Haggadah the wrong way for most of our lives? Yes, we are all familiar with the Haggadah and probably have tens if not hundreds of our own Haggados, but what exactly is the Haggadah? What is the point of the Haggadah? What does a "good Haggadah" look like? What does a successful Seder look like? Let's talk.

Just in time for Pesach, a workshop focusing on the background, meaning, and Nusach of Tefilas Tal, or the Prayer of Dew.
