Biblical Faith – with Sam Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
The significance of the Shema, “Hear O Israel, HaShem is our G-d, HaShem is One,” is therefore to bear witness to HaShem’s unity in all its aspects, as well as to accept the yoke of His Kingdom and His Authority over all creation, and to resolve to give one’s life for the sanctification of His Name.
From the “RaMCHaL”–Derech HaShem–Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto. Page 287.

Problem and Solution Summary:
Due to a power problem at the data center resulting from an explosion in the power system that destroyed the utility room at the data center, our media servers went off-line Saturday afternoon around 5pm CDT. After many successive assurances that the server would be back in operation “soon”, it became evident that this would not be the case. (As of this writing, the server is still not available.) Measures were taken to restore backups onto a different server, and a good deal of that work is now done after about 2.5 days of almost non-stop file transfers and network configuration/redirection tasks.
Biblical Faith – with Sam Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
What fault did HaShem/Elokim find with the builders of the city and tower? The Torah does not specify any sin. Moreover, their motives appear to be laudatory. They wanted to ensure that mankind would remain a united people, so even as the descendants of Noach became numerous over generations and inevitably spread over the earth, they would remain united, and having one capital, they would retain the same culture manners. This would make for peace among mankind.
From “Mysteries of the Creation” by Rabbi Dovid Brown. We are studying from the following pages: pg. 127–128.

“May G-d bless you and keep you; May G-d make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; May G-d lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26) Peace – shalom – the positive harmony that imbues this world and the world on high – and our role in making it happen.
