Vayikra:
The Book of Calling (23.21 min)
Every
person has a God-given mission in life. But how can we know what that
mission is, and what it demands of us?
The book of Vayikra, which means "And He called,"
revolves around the main service of the Tabernacle--sacrifices to God. In
this meditation, Rabbi Ginsburgh analyzes the inner meaning of the sacrifice
to God, and how our service of Him is intrinsically linked to first hearing
His call.

Tzav:
Rectifying Pleasure and Will in Our Soul (19.55 min)
When
the Temple stood, the way to serve God was to penetrate one's unconscious,
rectify it and offer it to Him. Today, two remnants of that all encompassing
service remain: the prohibition to eat the blood and certain choice fats of
a kosher animal.
In this meditation, Rabbi Ginsburgh explains the inner significance of
these two elements of the sacrifice and how we can harness their energy to
unite with God.

Shemini:
The Miracle of Flying Fish (30.39 min)
Among
the laws discussed in the Torah portion of Shemini are the
identifying signs of kosher fish--fins and scales. A person who learns the
inner dimension of the Torah is likened to a fish. In this meditation,
Rabbi Ginsburgh explores the deep significance of the fins and scales of
fish, opening our eyes to the miracle of study of both the revealed and
inner dimensions of the Torah.

Tazria
Matzora:
The Messianic Power to Cure (25.50 min)
The
Torah portions of Tazria and Metzora, which discuss the
archetypical disease of tzara'at and its cure, are possibly the most
messianic portions in all the Torah. In this meditation, Rabbi Ginsburgh
explores the source of the disease of tzara'at--Messianic frustration.
By understanding the depths of this existential frustration we open
the door to its ultimate cure--the redemption and arrival of the Mashiach.

Acharei-Kedoshim:
The Redemption of Natural Consciousness (33.25 min):
The
Torah delineates specific laws pertaining to eating of the fruits of the
trees that the Jewish People plant in the Land of Israel. These laws guide
one as he redeems himself from both his overt and unconscious evil. In
this meditation, Rabbi Ginsburgh describes how these laws rectify our
external environment, body and soul, and channel us to a state of natural,
flowing consciousness with our Creator.

Emor:
Do Our Hearts Have Room for God? (29.43 min):
The
commandment to sanctify God's Name--even if this leads to death--is the most
intense commandment in the Torah. In this week's audio meditation, Rabbi
Ginsburgh explores the commandment of sanctifying God's Name and its
counterpart, the prohibition against desecrating His Name. When we unlock
the source of these two complementary commandments in our psyche, we can
transform our hearts to shine brilliantly with God's transcendence and
omnipresence.

Rain: Harmony in all Three Dimensions of Reality (16.48 min):
Lag
Ba'omer, the day of the passing of
the author of the Zohar, Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, is considered the day of the
giving of the inner dimension of the Torah. This festive day usually falls in
the week that we read the Torah portion of Bechukotai. In this audio
meditation, Rabbi Ginsburgh discusses the three dimensions of blessing
promised in our Torah portion, revealing how we can merit this blessing by
connecting to the secrets of the inner dimension of the Torah.
