| The Tower of Bavel: Torah & Technology |
# LZ 002 B |
| by
Leff, Rabbi Zev |
|
| The central problem in the generation of Bavel was that they not only thought they were above nature, but that they controlled it as well.

| Insights into Pesach |
# LZ 520 A |
| by
Leff, Rabbi Zev |
|
| "There was a very positive reason for our slavery in Egypt." With these intriguing words Rabbi Leff details the Jewish exodus from slavery to freedom and how this painful process forged the Jews into a nation. From understanding God's way to upgrade a nation, we can learn to set ourselves free of our personal shackles of bondage, and why during the beginning of spring is the best time to do so. |

# LZ 528 |

|
Rabbi Leff presents a spiritual and historical overview of Lag B'Omer. Two noteworthy events occurred on this date. Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, author of the Zohar, passed away, and the mass wave of deaths of 24,000 students of Rabbi Akiva halted abruptly.
Why should two such curious events dealing with death be celebrated with such exuberant simcha? Rabbi Leff goes on to explain how the same underlying message of this day sets the stage for accepting the Torah a few weeks later on Shavuos. |

|
| How are we to relate to the prayers of Rosh HaShana when year after year we know that horrible people are judged for death, yet they continue to live healthy and prosperous lives? Worse, we may know of righteous tzaddikim, who by all rights should be entitled to great blessings, and who sometimes die or continue to suffer. Rabbi Zev Leff articulates a deeper reality of this enigmatic question, and defines the nature of judgements we may receive on Rosh HaShana. |

| The World to Come |
# LZ 787 |
| by
Leff, Rabbi Zev |
|
| The perpetual philosophical question raised by Jewish thinkers is: which is better, this world or the world to come? On one hand, King Solomon derides this world as "Vanity of Vanities," yet the Torah itself states at the end of the seven days of creation that this world is "very good." Understanding how the debate goes will add immense perception into the transient nature of this world. |

| The Test of Palace Life |
# LZ 872 F |
| by
Leff, Rabbi Zev |
|
| Abraham was commanded to leave his home and to live in the Land of Israel - along with God's promise that his move would be exceedingly good. What kind of test is that? The answer lies in how one perceives life, and how one colors the positives and negatives that come our way. Israel holds an unusual potential for growth and connection - if this is a possibility somewhat within your scope. Rabbi Leff illustrates the point with some great stories about his eventful move to the Holy Land. |

| When Can You Fight For Peace? Part One |
# LZ 908 A |

Leff, Rabbi Zev |
|
| There is a Gemara that states that one who dreams of a river, a kettle, or a bird - each representing a different level of peace - can expect a blessing of peace appropriate for that level. Only by understanding the distinctions between these three levels can we know why, and under what circumstances we are at times obligated to fight for peace, and why it is not a contradiction to do so. |
