Rebbetzin Amit Yaghoubi - Rosh Chodesh Shevat: The First Blossoms of Spring

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Chazaq Organization’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

So, of course, thank you. A big thank you to Khazak and thank you to Kehilat Avodat Hashem. What a beautiful name of a shul. Kehilat Avodat Hashem for hosting tonight's shiur. Of course, and Olga for opening your home. It should always be a place of Torah and Kedusha Yihye Ratzon. Okay, so we just came out of Rosh Chodesh Shvat. We're in the month of Shvat and we know that Moshe Rabbenu, when he was about to leave this world, he gathered together all the Jewish people together and he said to them, "I want to give you one more shiur." Now, wouldn't it be awesome to go to one last shiur of Moshe Rabbenu? He gathers them together on Rosh Chodesh Shvat. Everybody is waiting. Okay, let's see. And when does the shiur end? On Zayin Adar. More than a month later, when he dies he and he his last derasha, it was Sefer Devarim that he gave as last derasha. Started Rosh Chodesh Shvat and ended with his petirah, when he passed from this world. He gave over his whole legacy. And so, the rabbis tell us that Rosh Chodesh Shvat, and the month of Shvat, is when we can reach inside of ourselves and to find the deepest part of Torah and how it's real to us in this world. So, I want to start with a true story. There was a kolel avreich. He learns in kolel. He had a beautiful family and he was getting ready to marry off his daughter. And he had promised a certain amount of money for the dowry and the wedding is getting closer and closer.
