A brand-new episode of the lecture series by the Chief Rabbi of Dnipro, Shmuel Kaminezki, dedicated to the weekly Torah portion Ki Tavo, has just been released on the “Menora” YouTube channel.
This time, Rabbi Shmuel Kaminezki turns to profound Torah sources to show that true gratitude is not only expressed in words but also through deeds. The Torah teaches us that the commandment of Bikkurim — bringing the first fruits — symbolizes genuine thankfulness that finds its real meaning in action.
In his commentary, the Rabbi addresses crucial questions: Why is saying “thank you” not enough? How does gratitude in action influence our year? What does the mitzvah of Bikkurim teach us today, when the Temple no longer stands? And how can words and deeds together prepare us for Rosh Hashanah? He also emphasizes that love and gratitude within the family must be expressed through actions, as only deeds bring real change.
This episode opens up deep yet very practical lessons of the Torah, helping us enter the New Year with joy, light, and awareness.
