b'Rabbi Kalman Worch leads the Shiur through selected passages from this double parshafrom this classic work of the Italian scholar Rabbi Shimshon Chaim ben Rabbi Nachman Michal Nachmani, who passed away in 1779 .In a striking section of Achrei Mos- hereThe Zera Shimshon elaborates on the Arizal\'s method of discovering where your life challenge lies,and gives us a whole different take on what the Tshuva process can accomplish,and Rabbi Worch clarifies what Tikkun Olom really means.In Parshas Kedoshim,Rabbi Worch chooses unique sections that introduce us to Kedusha in a novel way.Both of them can be found here.Using Shmuel Ha Navi as a model,Rav Shimshon clarifies the odyssey of life and the significance of our mature years,and explains the early deaths that befell some of our greatest Kabbalists.The Shiur ends with a highly original take on a Medrash that in the Zera Shimshon\'s hands,and through Rabbi Worch\'s lenses,explains the rise to power of tyrants like Nevuchendzer,the cruel Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella,and how Hitler threatened to rule the world primarily due to his oppression of the Jews.Inextinguishable small sparks of holiness are revealed incredibly to be the binding element that seals the unwavering patriotism of so many assimilated Jews.Rabbi Shimshon Chaim had only one child, a son, who died at a young age. Rabbi Shimshon Chaim decided to dedicate his\'Sefarim\' to the memory of this child who had no continuity of a family. Hence the name "Zera Shimshon" In the introduction to his work,he promises that anyone that takes upon himself to learn from his writing, will be granted"children, praise, health, \'parnasa\', wealth, honor".We thank the Illinois Center for Jewish Studies for the use of this materialPlease leave us a review or email us at ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
