The Truth About "Jewish Identity" (Shemos - Parsha Principles)
The Bnei Yisroel were redeemed from Mitzrayim because they maintained their "Jewish Identity"—but weren't they simultaneously worshipping Avodah Zarah??

More than just recognizing the good, one must also realize how indebted they ought to feel.

Avraham represents chessed and Yitzchak represents din. Yaakov though is the total integration of both of these middos and how they need to be properly balanced.
A Change Of Attitude (Hakaras HaTov I)
We have all heard about the concept of Hakaras HaTov but do we know that is is MUCH more than merely saying thanks?

During these parshiyos, where we discuss the avos and their introduction of tefilah, the Mashgiach explains that the connection goes much deeper than you may think.
The "Olam Ha'Yeshivos" (Winter Zman III)
The idea of Yeshiva is not limited to a physical location but rather it is a way of life.
The Strength Of Restraint (Vayeira - Parsha Principles)

Welcome To Winter (Winter Zman I)
During the long winter is precisely when one needs to understand the value of perseverance and to not quit at the first sight of disinterest.
