Lesson 13: Torah, Food & Garment

Why is Torah compared to bread/food? Why is there value in Torah study without proper intention? What are the three layers of knowledge, toil and verbalizing Torah?

Lesson 12: Torah Intimacy!

What does Torah have that Mitzvos don't? Why Rashbi didn't stop for prayers? Why we don't frown upon learning Torah "Shelo Lishmah"? What I discovered on my hike to the M?

Lesson 11: Olam Haba Isn't the goal!

How can one "hug" Hashem? Why aren't Chassidim as obsessed with Olam Haba? Why is Torah compared to water and not to light?

Lesson 10: The Expression/Garments of the Neshama

How does my soul express itself? Why did the Beis Yosef fall asleep when studying with the holy Ari? Does it really matter what I think or just how I speak and act? When did Rav Nachman of Breslov blush?

Lesson 9: The Structure of the Nefesh Elokis

What are the specifics of the G-dly soul? Is meditation necessary in Judaism? Why is Kesser counted only sometimes? What is the role of Daas? Is there is a difference between fear of G-d and fear of a grizzly bear?
