Chazak is a pulsating and dynamic community-based organisation established over nine years ago by Rabbi Shlomo Farhi and Rabbi Moshe Levy. Chazak’s goal is to offer an array of sumptuous spiritual food to London’s Sephardic community with programming that is fresh, relevant and exciting.
Good discussion Rabbi Ariel the garden of Eden isn't only a story just of two people 'adam and eve' in the backyard garden outside, the garden of Eden is 'the garden within' 'anahata' 'heart chakra' as well with the taming of 'Qoph' putting calm to the 'monkey man' or woman and pruning of the inner garden of the heart and mind to put the ego to death 'figuratively' and the self ego raising the inner vibration of love 'ahura Mazda' and putting away 'Angra mainyu' of the self.
Thank you so much. The story about the fellow who began to say berachot later in life answered a question I have had. It reminded me of your story about the person who had berakhot or benchers printed in bulk for distribution to do tschuvah.
Listening from Israel and wondering why the Rav chooses to use the term that is more typically used by Arabs rather than Baruch HaShem. I personally find it upsetting. Is that really how the Sfardic community in the US speaks?

At 16:17 minutes, did Churchill not say “IRAQ”? I listened again and again at every playback speed. I keep hearing “IRAQ”. Can someone confirm this and/or explain?
Firstly Sephardi Jews as per kabalah tuck thier Tzitzis in. I personally keep mine out :) but spending hours in cemeterys each of the day’s filming requires me to tuck them in as per Halacha! Having said that they do feature as the keep slipping out. I’ll leave it up to you to spot them :)
@@shuabitton5274 firstly im a sephardic israeli. Mine are out bezrH unless i need to protect them bc im cleaning or doing dirty work or in a beit kevarot. Secondly i understand ur 2nd point. Thirdly most of the time u were outside of beit kevarot. Is it a safety issue in antisemitic europe where you were ? I thought not bc u wear a kippa. I noticed them out ONLY when you were in the beit knesset. If there is no safety issue which it seems not with your kippa so why not keep them out ?
@@shuabitton5274 Mine are out unless i need to protect them bc im cleaning or doing dirty work or in a beit kevarot. And i see most sephardic israelis with them out. Im not aware of such kaballah. Can you explain it ?
צורת לבישת טלית קטן מנהג בני ספרד ורבים מבני אשכנז ללבוש את הטלית קטן מתחת לבגדים ולא על הבגדים. כמבואר בדברי העיטור, רבנו יונה, מהר"ם מרוטנבורג, המרדכי. וכן הוא על פי הקבלה, כמו שהעיד רבנו חיים ויטאל (שער הכוונות ז ע"ב) על רבינו האר"י ז"ל, שהיה לובש הטלית קטן מתחת לכל מלבושיו על החלוק הסמוך לבשר. וכן היה המנהג הנפוץ בזמן מרן הבית יוסף, כמבואר בבית יוסף (סימן כג), הגאון החיד"א ועוד. ויש מבני אשכנז הנוהגים ללבוש את הטלית קטן על הבגדים, כמובא בשלחן ערוך (סימן ח סעיף יא): עיקר מצות טלית קטן, ללובשו על בגדיו, כדי שתמיד יראהו ויזכור המצוות. המנהג הפשוט אצל גדולי רבני ספרד, שלא להוציא את הציציות מחוץ לבגדים, וכן נהגו כל גדולי החכמים והמקובלים זצ"ל שבדור הקודם. ואמנם מי שמרגיש שהוצאת הציציות בחוץ, מחזקת אותו ביראת שמים וגורמת לו לשמור על עיניו בהליכתו ברחוב וכיוצא, בודאי שיוציא. ובחור מבני ספרד שלומד בישיבה של בני אשכנז וכולם מוציאים ציציות, רשאי להוציא גם הוא ככולם. (יבי"א ח"ט סימן קח אות יח)
Thank you Rabbi … very inspiring and powerful especially @ the part when Rivka started keeping Shabbat and HaShem saved her life…..🇮🇱💪🏻❤️ Chazak Baruch ‼️
I feel like pointing out that JEWS worship YAHWEH!!! If the people stopped worshiping YAHWEH and BROKE the covenant with YAHWEH as pointed out in 1 Kings 9 in the days of Solomon or later by those that wrote about the people breaking their covenant with YAHWEH like in Jeremiah 31!!! These "tragedies" did NOT happen because the people "continue to walk in my ways", rather they are all products of people who chose false worship over the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob!!!
Why doesnt he wear tzitzit ?????? If they are tucked in then why ????? I never saw a serious Gd-fearing Gd-loving rabbi not show his tzitzit. Even conservative rabbis do so.
My father is from a very small Italian village called Marano Marchesato in Southern Italy . Now I understand my father's traditon of frying everything from sweets to savoury during the Christmas holidays and his very close affinity to the Jewish people. I think in his heart he knew where he belonged. We have just recently discovered our family name has Hebraic roots. Maybe that is why the town was named Marano Marchesato .
