Mankind – Nature’s Keeper and Nurturer
11 Nissan, 5744 • April 12, 1984
G-d created plants and animals with the ability to procreate – to perpetuate themselves and reflect G-d’s own Infinitude. Man, too, was granted the remarkable ability to reproduce, but was additionally blessed with the ability to harness and expand the infinite powers hidden within the rest of nature.  (7:02)

Tu B’Shevat: Celebrating the Potential
Farbrengen, 15 Shevat, 5741 • January 20, 1981
On Tu B’Shevat, the 15th of Shevat, we celebrate the New Year for Trees. It falls in the middle of the winter, when the sap is just beginning to flow. If the fruit is not yet growing, why do we celebrate the occasion by eating fruit?
