| Noach: When to Lose Your Cool |
# MI 002 |
| by
Milstein, Rabbi Yerachmiel |
|
| Calm down! Unfortunately, most of us have heard this before, and for good reason. Indeed, Noach was blessed with a tranquil and unruffled nature as the meaning of his name suggests. But are there times when peaceful acceptance of the world around you prevents necessary action to be taken? Rabbi Milstein explores the meaning behind the term "cool," and why the floodwaters were called after Noach's name.

| Lech Lecha: Abraham Discovers God |
# MI 003 |
| by
Milstein, Rabbi Yerachmiel |
|
| There is a gaping hole in the Torah between the mention of Abraham's birth, and God's command that he leave his birthplace at the age of 75. Rabbi Milstein travels some of the unmentioned paths that Abraham took in between when he discovered how we all can know that God exists, and the irrefutable logic he used to understand what God expected of him, and what He expects from all of us. |

| Vayeira: When Personal Sacrifice Talks |
# MI 004 B |
| by
Milstein, Rabbi Yerachmiel |
|
| God brought an unbelievable heat wave to relieve Avraham from attending to visitors while he was recuperating from his circumcision. When God saw that he experienced greater pain from his not attending to guests then from his physical pain, He sent angels disguised as men to his oasis inn. So why did G-d who foresaw the greater pain bother making it so hot in the first place? And why in the same vein did He command Avraham to sacrifice his son when He knew Avraham would obey Him without hesitation? |

| Chayei Sarah: Regret and Ruin |
# MI 005 |
| by
Milstein, Rabbi Yerachmiel |
|
| In a very tragic moment so difficult to understand, Sarah dies at hearing the news of Abraham's attempted sacrifice of Isaac. How could this possibly be a just reward for the tremendous emotional effort she put out for G-d's honor? Rabbi Milstein explores the concept of regretting an action, and the ruination that follows at its heels. This concept can lead us to see an even greater aspect of Abraham's personality, one which most people rarely get a chance to see in their own lives. |

| Toldos: Recognizing Evil |
# MI 006 A |
| by
Milstein, Rabbi Yerachmiel |
|
| There was an intense struggle within Rebecca's womb between her twin sons Jacob and Esau. What were they fighting about, and why was Rebecca so distressed about it? Shortly after the birth, Esau's evil nature became obvious to all - except Isaac. Is it possible to understand how such a holy man could be so easily fooled? |

| Vayeitzei: Overview |
# MI 007 |
| by
Milstein, Rabbi Yerachmiel |
|
| Jacob is robbed of all his worldly possessions by his nephew Elifaz on his flight to his uncle's home. Surprisingly, the deed was done in the name of "Honor thy father and thy mother". How can we comprehend the paradox of evil done in the name of good? Rabbi Milstein tackles this question, and Laban's twisted dealings with Jacob's wages, and how it all ties in to having unflinching faith in God. |

| Vayeitzei: When You do It with Heart |
# MI 007 B |
| by
Milstein, Rabbi Yerachmiel |
|
| Why would the Torah which is so careful with each word it expends bother describing Jacob's conversation with a group of shepherds and his removing a big rock that was covering their well? Hear an eye-opening lesson on the tremendous success a human being can attain when he puts a full heart into something. |

| Vayishlach: The Sky's the Limit |
# MI 008 B |
| by
Milstein, Rabbi Yerachmiel |
|
| In this week's Torah portion Yaacov appears to be relying on miracles, but don't we understand that doing so is inappropriate? Hear how the world of the 'miraculous' and the world of 'nature' seamlessly blend together for the truly righteous souls. How do we get past statistics and what 'should be' to reach a freedom where 'the sky's the limit' for all we wish to accomplish? |

|
| Moses is sent to request the Jewish Nation's release from Egypt, and in response Pharaoh doubles their torturous workload. In pain over the terrible blow dealt to the people he loves, Moses questions G-d.

On one hand Rabbi Milstein lauds the incomparable gift of free will, but he also questions whether this empowering strength might feel so heavy at times that we'd rather just shirk the responsibility. Hear a talk of immense personal importance. |

| Beshalach: When the Sea Split |
# MI 016 |
| by
Milstein, Rabbi Yerachmiel |
|
| The splitting of the sea and our rescue from the Egyptian army was one of the most dramatic moments we experienced as a people. Rabbi Milstein wonders why G-d didn't lead the Jews out of Egypt along the main highway, as well as why it was necessary for the Jews to be lead by both a pillar of clouds, and fire. How could Moses lie and tell Pharoah the Jews were only leaving for three days? And why didn't the sea want to split? Hear the full story behind the story, and the life lessons we learn from it. |

| Yisro: United We Stand |
# MI 017 |
| by
Milstein, Rabbi Yerachmiel |
|
| Yisro was terribly confused by two news items that reached him regarding the Jewish people. The first was G-d's all powerful strength in ushering the Jews out of Egypt, and the second was about how vulnerable the Jewish nation was against the Amalekites - which seems to show a chink in G-d's total control. Hear how Moses was able to bridge Yisro's disparate ideas, as well as teach us the enormous amount we can accomplish if only our goals were united. |

# MI 018 |

| The ancient codes of Torah morality and civil law were light years ahead of their time in protecting human rights. However there are some archaic sounding laws like "an eye for an eye" that need clarification before one can feel confident with the overall message. Rabbi Milstein fleshes out a number of these puzzling concepts, and also spices this week's Torah portion with other topics like; your lawmakers - how moral do they need to be? |

|
| Did Aaron's ability to lift thousands of Cohanim in one day testify to his incredible strength? Maybe it wasn't his strength but the force of focused will power that helped him achieve this unnatural feat? The rabbi's assure us we also have such energy to achieve our greatest visions - so why is it we lack the drive to benefit from this power? |

|
| In a painful segment of Jewish history, spies were sent to the Land of Israel, and returned with a very negative report. The people's reaction caused them to lose the chance to ever enter Israel. Rabbi Milstein dissects the episode to find the virus of dissatisfaction in life that is lurking within a person's general outlook. |

| Why does this week's Torah portion repeat over and over how one's good behavior will earn them a better life? We wouldn't get the message the first time?

| Ki Seitzei: A Woman's Value |

| The Torah consents to a soldier of war taking a female prisoner as a wife. But shouldn't we see this as a moral travesty to the Torah's high standards? To the contrary, hear how this episode accentuates the high value Judaism has for women, where most societies in history treated women as slaves. This discussion also examines ways to conquer lust, plus lessons on how to treat a wife properly. |

| What is so miraculous about the Purim Story? Political intrigue flourished back in Persia as it does today, and just because Esther was in the right place at the right time, would we say it was a supernatural event? One job in this confusing exile is to find God watching us from behind the smokescreen of nature. Rabbi Milstein describes how the hand of God also appears within many of the normal events we encounter in life. |
