Niggun Chabura

Why couldn’t Bilam see that he was crooked, that Hashem didn’t want him to go?

What happened to Moshe? Why was he yelling at the people? What’s the deep connection between Moshe and Miriam?

Why was Korach killed in a spectacular way? Honor of Hashem vs honor seeking

The Sotah’s double life. If only she would admit…Are we Sotahs in any way?

Hashem, open my eyes and reveal the wonders of Your Torah! Kabalas Hatorah Nigleh and Nistar

Nissim Black joined us again to analyze his unreleased song “Near Me”. This song is incredible, written from the depths of Nissim’s soul. Read the lyrics and connect to the song in a deeper way: There's so many times that I'VE called you/ you only ignore me/ I'M giving you life/ I don't wanna control you/ you move in the dark/ cuz I hid My light/ trust me I know the way better/ 'cause I designed i...

Nissim Black joined the chabura to speak about his new song Lifted We connect the zman we’re in and the difficulties we face to this amazing song from Nissim Black and Levi Robin Here are the lyrics: I've been down/ and I've been twisted/ oh Lord/ get me lifted/ So many battles on the home front/ I think im in need of back up/ every time I think I got it/ then I seem to stumble backwards/ many sur...

Aharon is still feeling the affects of his children’s deaths when he is told to perform the most complicated avodah in the Mishkan…

Why was Aharon HaKohen embarrassed? Why does it seem that Moshe didn’t care about Aharon’s feelings?

Moshe Rabbeinu gave broken and downtrodden Jews a place to go and feel welcomed...that place became the Mishkan Tonight we discuss another type of Mishkan that can be built

Why does the story of the eigel split the parshiyos of the Mishkan? Why does the Torah have 4 parshiyos discussing the Mishkan and not 2? We connect to the tragic story of אחר and learn a chiddush about teshuva

Why does the Torah place Shabbos before and after the eigel hazahav? What happened by the eigel?

A continuation from last week. Why Hashem needed the Mishkan and how the purpose of creation flows through it

In this chabura we enter into the new Zusha album. We delve into the deep sugya of mashpia/mikabel relationships. What lacking did the Mishkan fill? Why does Teruma come after Mishpatim?

In this chabura we listen to “Deepest waters” from Brudr. It’s an amazing song of yearning and desiring closeness with Hashem. We connect it to this week’s Parsha by seeing the downfall of of a people who scream in complaint and not in teffilah.

In this chabura we listen to Zusha’s new song הריני מכוון. We discuss the Holy Shechina by the Avos and in Egypt. At the end we attempt to become the chariot of Hashem by using this holy and meditative song.

We listen to Akiva’s לב של אבן - heart of stone and connect it to this week’s Parsha. Pharaoh and the Jews are unable to hear Moshe speaking to them. They’re clogged up and in galus. Galus HaDaas. We ask Hashem to remove our heart of stone so we can feel life, feel the moment, feel the place, and feel our teffilah.

In this niggun chabura we listened to an amazing song called “Dying for you” from Avrhm (that’s how he spells it). We connect the song to the antisemitism and slavery in Parshas Shemos. Then we listened to the song again in a deeper way. Enjoy

This chabura is based on a song from Sara Dukes called “I learned it from you” sang by Shulem Lemmer. We then delve into the final meeting between Yaakov Avinu and Yosef HaTzaddik. We then connect the Torah to the song and listen in a whole new way.

We listen to Akiva’s version of the Berdichiver’s niggun and the teffilah within. We connect the song to the long awaited meeting between Yaakov and Yosef
