Excellent shiur Aleph Beta. I find it interesting that in a parshat about happiness, most of the passages discussed (Deuteronomy) are all about sin. What is original sin, actually? How is it different in the Jewish perspective as opposed to the Christian one? Those who bless Israel shall be blessed, and those who curse Israel shall be cursed. So sayeth the Lord, your G-d.

Thank you for these great insights rabbi. Just one somewhat unrelated question: Like most N.American Jews, (including most rabbis) your pronunciation of Hebrew places the emphasis of Hebrew words on the first syllable (like on the תו- tav of the name of פרשת תבוא -parashat tavoh) even when the טעם - taam appears under the second syllable (which is in the overwhelming majority of cases) Indeed, in some cases when the stress appears under the third syllable, like in the name of the next parasha, נצבים Nitzavim, many place emphasis on the second syllable - the צדי - tzaddi in the word נצבים - Nitzavim). What is the origin of this practice of what seems to be a disregard for shifting the emphasis? Is there a grammatical tradition this pronunciation rests upon? If anyone can shed light on this widespread practice, I'd be most grateful. Wishing everyone a כתיבה וחתינה טובה.

Hi, I wanted to answer this if that’s okay. To the best of my knowledge, I’m pretty sure it stems from geographical locations. Do you know about Ashkenazi Jews and Sfardic Jews, (and those who fit into neither category)? Well, Ashkenazi Jews (German, Russian, Polish, etc origins) emphasize the first syllables. Many Americans who are decents of Ashkenazim continue that tradition. Sfardic Jews (Spain, Morocco, Etc) emphasize the second part, due to tradition, and Americans with sfardic ancestors follow that. There may be more to it, but I think it boils down to that. For example, many Ashkenazi Israelis will speak with the “Israeli” or sfardic pronunciation in everyday speech, but they’ll pray and make blessings (over food, etc) with their traditional dialect.

These 12 curses or laws tie all 13 Jewish Principles together. Similar are the same in the 10 Commandments. All Commandments from HaShem are his laws to follow. If you brake his laws, there are consequences. If you commit yourself & family to keeping these covenants you will be rewarded for years to come.

[@cesarioserrato5306]

Back in those days our forefathers were very dark skinned/black not like what these videos show. Can the new videos your team makes reflect more correctly what the people really looked like?

[@davidzamora8551]

No the fuck they weren’t black lmao

[@EMunaBee]

@@davidzamora8551 what colour do you think people from the middle east were? Most likely some type of brown for the most part. Maybe black. Maybe a few lighter skinned. I think it would be wonderful if the illustration would show this.

[@mateoa.9564]

Why does that bother you so much? You should be more focused on the overall message of the video than people’s skin tones

[@cesarioserrato5306]

@@mateoa.9564 I didn't say it bothered me. You say that. It's an observation that today's portrail of our ancestors back then were not that skin color.

[@yachelisrael5258]

Your correct, they were people of color in those days in times and still are people of color. The color matters because any false view of the truth will effect the future children or new learners. White supremacists will make this look like they are more than we are, when they are taking our history me
