Parshas Devarim Shabbos Chazon Inspiration by Dr. Rubie Minkowitz

Those who bless us shall be blessed  The time span of Sefer  Devarim was 36 days Corresponding to the word אלה=36 We see the transformation of Moshe going from “I am not a man of words” to the word of GD being transmitted from him Devarim is read before Tisha Bav to reiterate the everlasting covenant between us and GD - No matter what         And GD created the world, and gave us the land of Israel Eicha of the Parsha is linked to Eicha of the Haftorah and Megillas Eicha… How did this happen ?  The covenant goes both ways  GD asks us Ayeka איכה where are you & what are you doing with your life  and now we demand from GD, איכה AYEKA? Where are you ? Show us yourself with Moshiach  Reb Levi Yitzchok of Berdetchiv says this shabbos every Jew is shown  a vision (חזון)of the 3rd BaisHamikdash  The Keruvim were in an embrace during TishaBav as opposed to looking away, sowing the seed of Moshiach May it be, that we will actually see (חזון) Third Bais Hamikdash transforming Tishbav into Joy 🤩🔥❤️

Parshas Matos-Mas’ei Life Lessons by Dr. Rubie Minkowitz

The Laws of promises were specifically taught to the heads of the tribes since they make promises when running for office and then neglect those vows!  Matteh is a staff, shevet is a branch still connected, the Jews have now matured and are called Matos  Moshe gives lessons on priorities - Family first and then livelihood  - ⁠Surround yourself with + influences and people  Bal Shem - The 42 journeys of the Jews mirror the 42 spiritual journeys that each individual takes from birth onwards …           Life is not just about the destination         It Is the journey that defines us and allows to grow   Rosh Chodesh Av, Yartzheit of Aaron is mentioned in this reading to be the antidote for the 9 days  No soldiers were lost in the  war against Midyan and may it be that we should be victorious with no more loss of life!  May the 9 days bring Moshiach and the third Bais Hamikdash!!! חזק חזק ונתחזק💪💪💪

Parshas Pinchas & 17th Tammuz Health & Hopeful Insights

You know about small letters and  big letters in the Torah… Do you know about a broken letter?   The Vov in שלום is broken and the Midrash says this word here has the same value as Moshiach - when Eliyahu who is Pinchas will announce it…we will have complete-שלם- peace שלום          & Maybe this is why the Vov is broken by the verse of the bris because after the Bris the baby is שלם - complete  Roll the Torah to Pinchas if you’re buying a used Torah since it is read often  The most important verse in the entire Torah is about the daily sacrifice קרבן תמיד Which was sadly stopped on the 17th day of Tammuz  •⁠  ⁠this verse connects you to GD through daily prayer •⁠  ⁠⁠ the same applies to investing time into your marriage and learning and exercise, doing them daily, cements your commitment to it! The Haftorah talks about an almond tree that takes 21 days to blossom corresponding to the 3 weeks that we mourn the destruction of the 2 Bais Hamikdash.   Yet It ends with Hope telling us about the everlasting love and bond between us and GD…. we continue to serve Hashem and ask for Moshiach & the rebuilding of the 3rd Bais Hamikdash when 17 Tammuz will be turned into feast and joy!!!🙏🔥

Your Gut Controls More Than You Think | Dr. Avraham Gundle

In this episode of the Frum Health Club Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Avraham Gundle, a leading gut health specialist and functional medicine practitioner, for a fascinating conversation about how healing often begins in the gut. For more than 30 years, Dr. Gundle has helped people overcome IBS, bloating, Crohn’s disease, autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue, anxiety, digestive disorders, and many other chronic health issues by addressing the root causes rather than simply managing symptoms. His journey into gut health began as a father searching for answers after his daughter, who has special needs, struggled with severe digestive issues that conventional medicine could not resolve. That search led him around the world, studying natural medicine, nutrition, traditional healing practices, and functional medicine. Today, he shares the lessons he has learned from decades of clinical experience. In this episode we discuss: • Why the gut may be the foundation of physical and mental health • The powerful connection between the gut and the brain • How gut health influences mood, anxiety, brain fog, immunity, and inflammation • The biggest mistakes people make when trying to heal their gut • The truth about probiotics, prebiotics, and fiber • Why ultra-processed foods, sugar, and processed oils are damaging our health • Practical nutrition strategies anyone can begin implementing today • The importance of movement and exercise for digestion and longevity • Why taking responsibility for your own health is one of the greatest investments you can make One of my favorite moments from this conversation is when Dr. Gundle says: “Where do you want to be in 20, 30, or 40 years? Do you want to be dancing at your grandchildren’s weddings, or sitting on a walker? Your health today determines your future.” This conversation is practical, inspiring, and filled with timeless wisdom for anyone who wants to live a healthier, longer, and more energetic life.

Parshas Chukas & Balak with Health and Postive Insights by Dr. Rubie Minkowitz

Something that is engraved becomes part of you  - Torah is compared to water, since both are a source of life in the world  A daily drip of Torah like water can make a dent in you until you get transformed       -     same applies to exercise, do it daily-Don’t even think about it and it will transform you to a better version of your self! These are the Chukas of Torah to teach us that a Jew must help another even if it requires sacrifice, this is what the Friedker Rebbe did and this is what the Chaylim are doing today!   May Hashem protect them Parshas Balak teaches us that Torah is from the heavens         The most famous blessing of Bilam מה טובו is the start of our morning prayers, that no matter how bad the day may start, it can be changed to blessing! May history repeat itself, the antisemites of today will be singing our blessings! The Parsha is called Balak after a Rasha since his hate was transformed to blessings and he is also the ancestor of Moshiach  May the prophecy of Bilam about Moshiach said thousands of years ago come to fruition today!!!💪🔥❤️
