KMTT - Parashat Nitzavim, written by Rav Ezra Bick Much of the content of Parashat Nitzavim, relating to the message of sin and punishment, seems to have been covered already last week in Parashat Ki Tavo. In what way does Parashat Nitzavim break new ground, and what can we learn from this about the nature of our covenant with God?

The Weekly Mitzva Ki Tavo - Tefillin shel rosh, by Rav Yair Kahn We will discuss the mitzva of tefillin, focusing specifically on the difference between tefillin shel yad and tefillin shel rosh.

Parashat Ki Tetze - The Speech of the Torah, shiur written by Rav Yair Kahn The principle of lo dibra Torah ela keneged yetzer ha-ra seems to imply that the Torah lowers its moral standards in certain situations, such as the case of the beautiful female captive in our parasha. How can we accept and understand such a radical statement?
