Diaspora Yeshiva Toras Yisrael | Mount Zion, Jerusalem
The Rosh Yeshiva addresses the question about when HaShem instructed Moshe (Moses) about the building of the Mishkan (Tabernacle) in Parashas Terumah, explaining how we can know it was before the Cheit HaEgel (Sin of the Golden Calf) by understanding the essence and the greatness of the gift of the Mishkan/Beis HaMikdash (Temple).
The Rosh Yeshiva reflects upon the principle in Parashas Mishpatim (Shemos / Exodus 21:23-25) about appropriate mida keneged mida (measure for measure) din (judgment) when a person harms another person compared to the actual Jewish understanding and application of the related pesukim (verses), and the real purpose of the Torah.
The Rosh Yeshiva expands upon his mussar shmooze from a couple of weeks ago about why the Jewish people were not able to hear Moshe Rabbeinu (our teacher Moses) in Mitzrayim (Egypt) because of shortness of breath/spirit, contrasting that generation with the greatest generation of all time and the great example they gave us. May we be inspired to emulate their ways, so that we, too, will be at peace in the midst of our challenges.
The Rosh Yeshiva speaks about HaShem’s instruction to the Jewish people in Mitzrayim (Egypt) to borrow from the Mitzrim (Egyptians) without repayment, why this was done in the light of Torah, and the difference between what happened at that time and what will happen in the end in order to rebuild the Kingdom of HaShem and the Beis HaMikdash, a House of Prayer for All the Nations.

The Rosh Yeshiva speaks about the recent news about the hostage-ceasfire deal signed by the State of Israel and Hamas and why Chareidi Rabbis agree in the light of Torah sources.
Belief is not just a state that a person either has or doesn’t have. Rather, it is a mida [trait] of a person—that he believes, that he relies on Hashem, that he has perfect faith. A person has to work hard to achieve this trait of faith.
The Rosh Yeshiva adds to the his mussar shiur from earlier in the week about the teshuvah (repentance), tikkun (rectification), and Sechus (Merit) of the mother of the Jewish people in Mitzrayim (Egypt), rooted in their great emunah (faith) and bitachon (trust) in HaShem and His promise.
The Rosh Yeshiva speaks about the pasuk (verse) in Parashas Shemos (Exodus 1:7) that remarkably praises the mothers of the Jewish people in Mitzrayim (Egypt) using the language of sheratzim (insects), and what we should learn from it about our work in bringing Mashiach (the Messiah) by having Jewish children.
Hashem was ready to forgive His own honor, but not that of Klal Yisrael—a lesson for all generations, to uphold the honor of the Klal.
