A-Muse with Reb Ari Bensoussan

In this continuation of what we have begun in the Hakdamah of Mesilat Yesharim, we are challenge with working on love and real connections. We explore how Love and D'veikut- Connection are not the same thing and what is demanded of us in both. Some great stories and honest insights about myself are shared along the way.

We continue in the Hakdamah of the Mesilat Yesharim and see the words of Ramchal first as a scary demand of perfection or nothing, but then understand the depth and path toward our better love and connection to Hashem. Along the way we hear about singing the same lines over and over and the amazing milky bread that I baked. Enjoy

We continue learning the incredible intro to the Mesilat Yesharim and find out about good and evil and how it gets thrown into such confusion in our generation. Star Wars and Harry Potter play a big role in this one!

FINALLY!!!!!!! It is here, the Mesilat Yesharim Series. I have been so excited to teach Mesilat Yesharim and we have now committed ourselves to it. We explore the Hakdamah and begin to talk about the innocence of childhood and what we have forgotten from long ago.

In this Pre Yom Kippur class we delve into the mysterious days leading up to it known as the "Ten Days Of Repentance" Or "Aseret Yimei Teshuva". Why is Yom Kippur only after Rosh Hashanah if logically it should be before? Why are we especially careful with what we eat in these ten days? And how does this all lead up to Yom Kippur? Join us in this fascinating journey.
