ANEINU SHIUR THIS Wednesday evening, January 5th- we will have an opportunity to hear Rabbi Shaya Ostrov, the author of a recently published book called “The Menucha Principle”. It has taken the Jewish world by storm and Rabbi Ostrov will speak to us about how incorporating this principle will improve our lives immensely.
Rebbetzin Tehilla Jaeger recently wrote the following piece of advice to women: "You owe it to yourself to read, read and internalize this life transforming book." She was referring to The Menuchah Principle in Marriage, by Shaya Ostrov, L.C.S.W. The Menuchah Principle in Marriage was recently published by Judaica Press and presents the deep link between acquiring the mida of Menuchas Hanefesh and achieving Sholom Bayis. Rabbi Ostrov explains that applying the Menucha Priniciple in Marriage is only one of the ways of implementing this mida. The Menucha Principle must guide us in all our dealings with other people; siblings, parents, co-workers. If we incorporate this principle in our day-to-day lives, we will surely see the difference. Rabbi Ostrov hopes to have books out in the future where he will show how to implement this principal in all aspects of our lives.
Mr. Ostrov will be interviewed on our program on Wednesday January 5th at 9:15 PM. We are expecting a big audience, so if you dial the 212 number and can not get on, you can access the shiur through Kol Haloshon, by dialing 416-800-2146 locally, or 718-906-6400 and then waiting to hear the prompt for live shiurim and you can hear the shiur live.

Our shiur last week, was a given by a true friend of Aneinu, Roiza Weinreich. She is always there for us. Her shiur was on the topic, Ashreinu, How Great To Be A Yid. The shiur was based on Perek Nun Alef of Yishaha-it is one of the seven haftoras of nechama that we read. It starts with Posuk Yud bais where Hashem says ‘Onochi Onochi Who Menchamchem” I am the one who comforts you. The question is, why does Hashem say Onochi , Onochi twice? The answer is to tell us that I am the same Onochi as I was by Matan Torah meaning the same loyalty we showed to Hashem during Matan Torah, we continue to show him through our emuna throughout the golus. Hahsem is telling us This is your comfort-Onochi-I am as much a part of your life as I was when I gave you the Torah. And then Hashem say, I introduced myself to you, telling you who I am, Onochi, I am Hashem who gave you the Torah and now tell me, “Me Ut?” Who you are? Do you kno,w who you are? Do you realize you are the children of royalty? Roiza told over 2 beautiful stories to illustrate this point. One was told by Rebbetzin Tzipora Heller about a family from Argentina who weren’t frum and made aliyah. In Eretz Yisroel, the mother discovers Yiddishkiet. When her husband gets a major heart-attack and the doctors give up on him and say his time is near, she says to her husband, You are going to die and when you go up to heaven they are going to ask you, Me Ut-who are you? You have no mitzvos to your name, you are going to go up barren. And she quickly borrowed a pair of tefillin from someone in the hospital , put it on her husband….and he lived and the whole family became frum. She also told over a beautiful story from the Bobover Rebbe, Rav Shlomo Halberstam-how he taught this concept to a young boy during World War Two. She explained that” Me U”t-who are you? is what we have to ask ourselves. Chazal say on this –why are you afraid in golus? Do you not realize that you are the children of Avrohom, Yitzchok and Yaakov-you are the children of the 3 mountains of the world? Why then are you afraid? Could it be that you don’t realize your greatness? But what does it mean to be the daughter of Avrohom Aveinu. Avrohom Aveinu’s love to Hashem was very deep, so deep that he was willing to sacrifice his life in the burning furnace to glorify Hashem’s name. Because of his love of Hashem, Hashem gave him a gift which was that Avrohom Aveinu’s love will become part of every’s Yid heart in every generation and how will this love continue in every Yid’s heart in every generation? Because Hashem syas he will hallways love Avrohom Aveinu’s descendants and they will always love him and this is called –a pintele Yid. That in every Jewish heart lies that pintele Yid-no matter how far he strays from Hashem, Hashem always loves him and we have to feel that love of Hashem to us, we have to find that love because it is there for us to grab onto and that will bring us back. Roiza brought up many beautiful points. I will end with another beautiful point that she made. Twice a day, we say Shema Yisrael-listen Yisrael-who is Yisrael? In the Sefer Dibros Eliyahu. Eliyahu Hanavi explains what it means that we are Yisrael? What is signified by the name Yisrael. We know that Yaakov fought with the malach (angel ) of Eisav. At the end of the fight, Yaakov asked the angel to bless him, he blessed him by changing his name from Yaakov to Yisrael. The question is asked, what sort of blessing is having your name changed? The answer is, that Yisroel stands for Shir Kale-the same letters that are in the name Yisrael are in the words Shir kale- which means sing to G-d. What was the angel of Eisav telling Yaakov, that no matter what situation a Yid finds himself in, he will always be able to sing to Hashem and that is the brocha that no matter what happens to us, we sing to Hashem and that is the highest level a Yid can attain in this world-to sing to Hashem even while going through nisyonos.
