10/12/2004 | Bilvavi I (1) Introducing Ourselves To Hashem
This is a mysterious
sefer...that only a small group of individuals know about it. There is something very unusual
about itt...There is big "raash' (excitement) among the tzadikim in Yerusalayim about it ... I looked at it a little and fell in love with it! ...It is not hard- that is the
beauty about it. It is very very clear, simple to the point. If you tell people who have not yet heard about it- they will be hearing about it. The author is
anyamonous...it is called Bilvavi Mishkan Evneh.
The
point is to introduce us to Hashem ... to help us to attach ourselves to HaKadosh
Baruch Hu. It is not a work on philosophy and it is not quoting from 100 different seforim.
... His intention was to introduce us to HaKadosh Baruch Hu. ... Now I know that
sounds ridiculous...it sounds crazy!. When I learned this sefer i felt that it speaks
directly to the inner point. It is not "litvishe," its not "chassidish," it is not "sephardish." It's
everything. It was written in such a hidden way with the approbations of some of the great mekubalim in Yerushalayim. ... It is the "dvar Hashem" . We can live with and take with us ... it is
a tiny little sefer that we can grow together with. [For original shiur from Rav Weinberger- click here »» ]
09/08/2005 | Bilvavi II (1) The Foundation Of Avodas Hashem
There
is a mechaber who is un-named ... I know who it is but he prefers that his name not
be publicized. Raban Gamiel Rabinovitch
is very close to him and Raban Gamiel Rabinovitch said that he is a yid who thinks about haKadosh Baruch Hu
24 hours a day. He has put out a number of seforim over the last year and a
half. These 7 seforim have caused a revolution in Eretz Yisrael and here as
well. There is a yid in Brooklyn that paid to print 5000 of the first volume
of Bilvavi Mishkan Evneh to give them out to people free. I think we were the first ones to learn Bilvavi Mishkan Evneh
in our shul. How do you describe this? This is something that can't be
described... It's simply the clearest and most direct and sweetest presentation
of how to be a Jew in my life. His seforim have caught on and are being used in
yeshiva and schools ...This is a sefer that basically tells us what we needed to
hear ever since we have been in this world and no one ever quite said it.

07/05/2005 | A Life Of Emunah
(1) Clarifying Our Goals In Avodas Hashem A tzaddik...a young man in Eretz
Yisrael who last Ellul came out with a
small sefer Bilvavi Mishkan Evneh ... that has a big Rebono shel Olam hidden in it. It's made
an unbelieve roshem (impression). Learning in chaburas throughout the world.
It's hard to describe how unique these seforim are ... How clearly written they are
and how sweet and simple they are and how straight forward and important they are for
us.

05/08/2008 | Getting To Know Me (1) An Introduction To Self Knowledge And Self
Repair
It
is hasgacha pratis and very clear to me that haKadosh Baruch Hu has sent into
my personal life and into our lives a Jew who is able to write seforim that
have the most incredible way of opening up the most difficult inyanim (subjects) and
laying them out before our eyes in a very beautiful and clear way. I am grateful to haKadosh Baruch Hu who sent us this particular sefer- Da-Es Atzmecha by the author of Bilvavi Mishkan Evneh. It is very different
from all of his other seforim ...The author is basically introducing ourselves to
ourselves.

02/12/2009 | The Bilvavi On Mesilas Yesharim (1) There Are No Shortcuts To
Better Midos (Character Traits)
Everyone has learned Mesilas Yesharim...but not
one of us has learned it properly and even if we learned it our entire lives we
would not have cracked it open. We have a big zchus (merit) that in these last few days
before Moschiach has come, Hashem has sent special mechanchim, madrichim and
mashpi'im into the world to uncover the beauty and the depth of sefroim such as Mesilas
Yesharim so that even people like us can truly change and grow ...The mechaber's
(author's) entire goal is to help us to practically change our lives to think and live
differently...

01/01/2011 | The Bilvavi On Bayit haYehudi
At the end of the Hebrew version of Da Es Atzmecha is a small section on the subject of the Jewish home. We have to keep in mind two things. The first is that the Rav comes from a different background from most of us. He never read a secular book in his life. … Secondly, we have a lot of problems. We are very mixed up- we were raised very far from kedusha and even the best of us have been infected and affected by things that are not pure Torah. Sometimes we come across a view that’s expressed from that perspective of pure Torah by a contemporary person. So, not coming from a perspective of pure Torah, hearing something that comes from pure Torah does not always click.]...[For original shiur from Rav Weinberger- click here »» ]
