Moshiach times? Food for thought

I just watched the following video, and if you have the patience to watch the whole thing, it is a remarkable contrast to the craziness we have heard on the Moshiach blogosphere since its inception. I invite you to contemplate the full meaning of the video's closing.

Yom Kippur and Unity (Am Echad!)

Why is the concept of unity so central to Yom Kippur? Why does the High Priest bring an incense offering in the holiest of holies? What is the power of song in bringing us to repentance?

Find out in this week's parsha podcast.

Running time: 10:43

And... if you haven't seen the Am Echad video which I mention in the podcast, you can see it here:

This is really cool. I am not into heavy Moshiach messages anymore, but this is a really nice way of giving it over.

Lev Tahor

Sometimes Hashem blesses us with a chance to touch a moment of spirituality and purity. King David asked that that pure heart be created within him, and that spirit be renewed within him. "Don't send me away from You, and do not take away Your holy spirit from me." (Tehillim/Psalms 51)

Excellent arba minim video

Did you ever wonder exactly what you need to look for when you are buying your Lulav and Esrog? What are the conditions that make it valid and invalid? A wonderful organization called Torah Live has put together an excellent video - short and to the point - that will take the mystery out of the process.

Az die rebbe zingt

This is a video of my father (Mr. Murray Goldwag) singing in a nursing home in Jerusalem on February 28, 2009. My mother (Mrs. Meryl Goldwag) is accompanying him on the guitar. My father shared with me that of all the experiences he has had here in Israel since living here starting in September, this was one of the most enjoyable (besides for hanging out with his kids and grandkids). I think it attests to our need to give and the wonderful feeling we get when we do - it is tapping into our own root in Hashem's attribute of pure giving.
