The Torah's Femine Beginning
Thank you Rabbi Raskin for this beautiful lesson. So inspirational.
I love all your classes. I would love to read your two books, Lettters of Light and By Divine Design, but I don't know where to find them. Perhaps you or someone else could inform me where to get them.
G-d's blessings be upon you.

Question l enjoyed the message but I got a little confused since I am not very familiar with all the names of the Hebrew alphabet. Which letter is it, Beyt or TAV that he is talking about ? Reply
ב (beit/beis) is the second letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It is either pronounced beit or beis depending on if the dialect is Ashkenazi (pronounced beis) or Sephardi (pronounced beit). The reason is because the last letter in the phonetic spelling of beit/beis is ת (Tav-tge last letter of the Aleph-bet) which is pronounced as an S or T when it is the final letter of a word(see previous discussion on Ashkenazi/Sephardi dialects.

Excellent information. I really enjoyed this talk.
Women hold equal importance with the L-rd.
We also know this from Sodom & Gomorrah as the L-rd will go to 'war on behalf of women'.
If a people exchange their sexual idenity as in gay agenda, they are in reality throwing women under the bus, like Lot's daughters.
This 'attack' against womanhood will be answered by war from the L-rd against the offenders who stood and did nothing.
To do nothing, is to invite the Almighty to step in and protect her. However many times needed.
Some think the Scripture is all about males but they do not rightly understand.

Truly exceptional I always listen to Rabbi Raskin classes because he knows how to captivate his audience. He chooses the most moving topics of the parsha and makes them relevant to our today's life and our mission as Jews. He also concludes with inspirational stories such as this one about the Beltzer Rebbe. His two books: letters of light and by divine design are of the same lofty spiritual standard. Read and listen to him... Reply
Gates of Tears Never Close Rabbi Raskin's statement about the "Gates of Tears Never Close" is so true. That acknowledgment is very inspiring to keep praying no matter what! Excellent teaching. Thank you Father G_d.
