| 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. |

| Lag B'Omer |
# LZ 528 |
| by
Leff, Rabbi Zev |
|
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. |

| Can we really take Rosh HaShana seriously if year after year we witness immoral people who were surely sentenced to death the previous year but continue to live healthy and prosperous lives, while highly righteous people destined for a great new year end up dying? Rabbi Zev Leff gives more than the simple answer to this perplexing question, and clears the fog for exactly what we will be judged for on Rosh HaShana. |

|
| By definition, a melech is differentiated from a moshel (ruler) by the fact that while a moshel rules over the will of his subjects, a melech rules with their consent and interest in mind. Rabbi Leff explains the way Adam coronated Hashem on the day of his being created, which was humanities first day of Creation - that day is Rosh Hashanah. Hear a well-rounded talk on the symbolism of Rosh Hashanah. |

| Why do we celebrate the miracle of Chanukah if God has performed so many greater miracles that are barely mentioned? Rabbi Leff spells out the insidious virus of Greek culture that threatens our existence each and every day, and why this tiny miracle is the best reminder. (Some Hebrew words not translated). |

# LZ 553 B |
| by
Leff, Rabbi Zev |
|
| Until the nation of Amalek made an appearance, there were no atheists. Why were they the only ones not afraid of us after we came out of Mitzrayim? Hear how the Jews in the time of the Purim story were able to overcome Haman, the descendant of Amalek, and how our ability to persevere and see Hashem even when He is hidden truly sets us apart in both the spiritual and physical realms. |
