| 5/15/26 | ![]() Yom Yerushalayim — The City That Teaches Us to Remember, Return, and Become One | Yerushalayim is not merely a city of stone, walls, and history. Yerushalayim lives inside the Jewish soul. For thousands of years Jews turned toward her in prayer, cried for her at weddings, mourned her destruction, and whispered, “Next year inYerushalayim.” In this special Yom Yerushalayim Breakfast and a class, weexplore why the Torah hides the name of Yerushalayim, why Yosef and Binyamincried for the future destruction of the Bet HaMikdash at the very moment ofreunion, and why Chazal insisted that even our greatest moments of joy mustalways contain remembrance of the Ḥurban. But this morning’s class became something more personal and emotional. AsYerushalayim began celebrating, messages arrived from family and friendsalready dancing in the streets along Yafo Road. Grandchildren waving flags inthe streets of the Holy City. Friends who simply could not stay away any longerand rushed back to Yerushalayim just to be there for Yom Yerushalayim. Togetherwe reflect on the astonishing reality that the prophecies of Zechariah areunfolding before our eyes — children once again filling the streets ofYerushalayim with laughter and joy. This is a class about memory, redemption,Jewish unity, and the extraordinary privilege of living in a generationwatching history return home. | — | ||||||
| 5/14/26 | ![]() HaShem Is Our Shadow — From Keri to Karov Opening - Bamidbar | This morning’s Breakfast and a Class took a step back from the individual parashah of Bamidbar and looked instead at the sefer itself — the fourth book of the Torah, the book the secular world calls Numbers.And the question is fascinating: why is this book so central? If Sefer Devarimwas, in many ways, Moshe Rabbenu’s final repetition and review before hispassing, then the Torah could theoretically have ended with Bamidbar, withadditional mitzvot woven elsewhere throughout the Torah. Which means thisfourth book is not simply another stage in the journey. It is the hinge ofJewish history. In this class, we explore the deeper meaning of Sefer Bamidbar as the transitionfrom open revelation to hidden relationship — from a generation livingsurrounded by Clouds of Glory and daily miracles to a people entering a worldof nature, struggle, responsibility, and hidden providence. Drawing on theteachings of the Ba‘al Shem Tov, the Netziv, Ramban, and Chazal, we examine thefrightening idea that “HaShem is your shadow” — that the way we relate toHaShem shapes the way His presence is revealed in our lives. The movement from keri— seeing life as random and casual — to karov— living with closeness and awareness of HaShem — may be the central spiritualstruggle not only of Bamidbar, but of our generation as well. | — | ||||||
| 5/12/26 | ![]() The Desert Between the Curses and the Torah - BaMidbar | Before Shavuot, we pass through the desert. In this deeply moving Tuesday Lunch and Learn class, we explore why Parashat Bamidbar always stands between the curses of Beḥukotai and the revelation at Sinai. Why did the Torah choose a wilderness for Matan Torah? Why does the Amidah call HaShem “Avinu” specifically when asking to return to Torah? And why did HaShem answer the nations of the world with the words: “Bring Me your genealogy”? Drawing from the teachings of Rabbi Pinḥas Friedman, Chazal, Midrash, the Zohar, and the great masters of mesorah, this class explores the desert not as geography—but as a condition of the soul. The place where ego quiets, distractions fall away, and a Jew once again becomes able to hear the voice of HaShem. Through stories of Rabbi Akiva, the Ḥafetz Ḥayyim, Rav Soloveitchik, Rav Shach, and others, we uncover a breathtaking idea: that Torah is not merely wisdom to study, but the eternal bond between a Father and His children. | — | ||||||
| 5/11/26 | ![]() Raise His Head: The Power of Recognition Bamidbar | Before Shavuot, the Torah commands Moshe not merely to count the Jewish people — but to raise their heads. In this deeply personal and moving class on Parashat Bamidbar, we explore the difference between counting people and truly seeing them. Through Torah sources, powerful stories, and deeply emotional reflections, we uncover one of the greatest human hungers of all: the need to feel recognized. This morning's brealfast and a class at Safra weaves together the Torah’s census, a remarkable story shared by Rabbi Elimelech Biderman, the teachings of the Vishever Rebbe on the tribe of Dan, and personal memories of the Achiezer organization founded by Syrian Jews who understood that Judaism begins by noticing the lonely, the struggling, and the forgotten. Sometimes a single aliyah, a smile, or a moment of kavod can restore an entire person. In a world where so many people feel invisible, Parashat Bamidbar reminds us that every Jew has a name, a story, and a place in the camp of Israel. | — | ||||||
| 5/10/26 | ![]() The Haftorah of the Broken Marriage — Bamidbar, Shavuot, and HaShem’s Unbreakable Love | Before Shavuot, we usually prepare to relive the greatest moment in Jewish history — Ma‘amad Har Sinai, the giving of the Torah. Yet the Haftorah connected to Parashat Bamidbar seems almost shocking. Instead of triumph, we encounter betrayal. Instead of revelation, we read about a broken marriage. HaShem commands the prophet Hoshea to marry a woman who will be unfaithful to him, forcing him to experience heartbreak firsthand so that he can understand something essential about the relationship between HaShem and the Jewish people. This class explores one of the most emotionally powerful messages in all of Tanach: Judaism is not merely law, theology, or ritual. It is a covenant of love that survives even failure. Through the haunting story of Hoshea, the counting of the Jewish people in Bamidbar, the aftermath of the Golden Calf, and the approach of Shavuot itself, we uncover a breathtaking idea: the covenant between HaShem and Israel was never built upon perfection. It was built upon return. The same HaShem Who could have distanced Himself after betrayal instead draws closer, counts His people again, places the Mishkan in their center, and says: “וְאֵרַשְׂתִּיךְ לִי לְעוֹלָם — I will betroth you to Me forever.” This is not merely the story of a nation long ago. It is the story of every Jew who has ever wondered whether the relationship can still be rebuilt. | — | ||||||
| 5/6/26 | ![]() The Shofar of Return — Why Judaism Never Gives Up on a Jew Behar | In this morning's Breakfast & a Class on Parashat Behar, we explore the deeper meaning of Yovel — the Jubilee year — and uncover one of the Torah’s most revolutionary ideas: a Jew is never permanently trapped by his past. Through the teachings of Rav Hirsch, stories from Chazal, and moving reflections on dignity, freedom, and renewal, this class examines why the Torah built second chances into the fabric of time itself. Every fifty years with Yovel. Every seven years withShemitah. Every year with Yom Kippur. Every week with Shabbat. And every singlemorning when a Jew wakes up again. Why do some homes return in Yovel while others do not? Why does the Torah insist that freedom is more than economics? And why does Judaism refuse to define a person by his lowest moment? This class journeys through the shofar of Yovel, the reopening of the Beit Midrash under Rabbi Elazar ben Azaryah, the dignity of Rabban Gamliel’s servant Tavi, and the obligation not only to rebuildourselves — but to help another Jew believe that he too can still begin again. The Shofar of Return — Why Judaism Never Gives Up on a JewBreakfast & a Class — Parashat Behar / Yovel | — | ||||||
| 5/5/26 | ![]() BeHukotai - From Yaakov’s Night to Avraham’s Light — The Turning Point of Lag BaOmer | Parashat Beḥukotai brings us face to face with one of the Torah’s most difficult realities—the descent into exile, the weight of judgment, and the long, uncertain road back. Yet buried within the darkness is a promise: a process of return, a journey through Yaakov’s night, Yitzḥak’s tension, and ultimately Avraham’s light. And right in the middle of this journey comes Lag BaOmer—a day that doesn’t remove the darkness, but transforms it. Some fires destroy. Others illuminate. On Lag BaOmer, we celebrate the moment that fire changes. Rabbi Akiva stands in the ashes of a lost world and begins again. Rabbi Shimon bar Yoḥai emerges from the cave not once—but twice: the first time with a fire that burns, the second with a light that heals. This class uncovers the hidden turning point of the day—not the end of tragedy, but the refusal to let it define the future. Because Lag BaOmer is not about what happened then. It is about what we do when everything falls apart. | — | ||||||
| 5/4/26 | ![]() Har Sinai, Round Two — You’ve Done It Once, You Can Do It Again BeHar | There are momentsin life when a person is asked to let go—not because it makes sense, notbecause it feels safe, but because it is right. Parashat Behar introduces themitzvah of shemittah with an unexpected reminder: “on Har Sinai.” Why here? Whynow? In this powerful class, we explore a striking insight from Rabbi YissocherFrand, Rav Asher Weiss, and Rav Zalman Sorotzkin: shemittah is not just anagricultural law—it is Har Sinai all over again. The same inner strength thatallowed Benei Yisrael to declare נַעֲשֶׂה וְנִשְׁמָע—“we will do before weunderstand”—is the very strength required to step back, release control, andtrust HaShem with our livelihood, our plans, and our lives. Inthis class we try to uncover a deeper definition of strength—not the power toact, but the power to restrain, to trust, and to rise above instinct. Whetherin business, relationships, or personal struggles, we are all faced withmoments that demand this kind of gevurah. The message is simple buttransformative: you’ve already stood at Sinai—you’ve already done theimpossible. And if you’ve done it once, you can do it again. | — | ||||||
| 5/3/26 | ![]() When Loss Becomes a Star: An After-Class Reflection on Grief, Faith, and Holding On | Afterthis Sunday morning’s Breakfast& a Class,the conversation continued in a deeply personal and unscripted way. Whatfollowed was not a formal shiur, not a prepared lecture, and not an attempt toanswer the unanswerable. It was an honest reflection on loss, grief, memory,and the struggle to hold on to emunah when the heart still aches. In this after-class reflection, wespeak personally about the loss of our five-month-old grandson, and about theimages and teachings that have helped the rabbi live with a pain that does notdisappear. Drawing from Midrash, the Zohar, the days of the Omer, and thelanguage of hashgachah peratit, we explore how a neshamah can come into thisworld for only a brief time and yet leave behind light that continues to shine.This is a raw, personal, and heartfelt reflection for anyone who has faced lossand is trying to find a way to keep walking with HaShem. | — | ||||||
| 5/3/26 | ![]() The Sound That Brings You Back — Yovel, Yom Kippur, and the Secret of Lag BaOmer | There are moments in life when a person quietly asks himself, “How did I get here?”Not physically—but spiritually. A person once had clarity, direction,connection. And then life happens. Slowly, almost invisibly, he drifts. In thispowerful Sunday morning Breakfast& a Class,we explore one of the Torah’s most astonishing ideas: Yovel—a moment wheneverything returns to its source. Fields go back. Slaves go free. Lives reset. But this class takes it one stepfurther. Drawing from the Maharal, Gemara, andZohar, we uncover a deeper truth: Yovel is not just about land and freedom—itis about the soul. It is the same movement as Yom Kippur, and, perhaps mostsurprisingly, it is alive again in the hidden light of Lag BaOmer. Through thestory of Rabbi Elazar ben Dordaya, the teshuvah of King Menashe, and the fieryfinal moments of Rabbi Shim‘on bar Yoḥai, this class builds to a single,unforgettable message: Nothing is ever permanently lost. Whether you feel close or distant,grounded or drifting, this class will remind you that there is always a wayback—and that sometimes, the door is open far sooner than you think. | — | ||||||

| 5/1/26 | ![]() Pesach Sheni - The Door That Opens After it Closed | There are momentsin life when a person feels, “I missed it.” Not because he didn’t care—butbecause life intervened. A responsibility, a loss, a distance, a moment thatpassed and cannot be reclaimed. And then comes Pesach Sheni and introduces aradical idea: not every missed opportunity is final. When a group of Jews stoodbefore Moshe Rabbeinu and cried out לָמָּה נִגָּרַע—“Whyshould we be left out?”—they were not asking for an exemption. They were askingfor connection. And in response, HaShem gave them something unprecedented: asecond chance. Inthis class, we explore not only the halachic framework of Pesach Sheni, but thedeeper message it carries—about longing, about responsibility, and about thedoors that can reopen even after they seem closed. From those who became tameiwhile doing a mitzvah, to Rabbi Shimon bar Yoḥai learning how to see the worldagain, to the haunting Pesach Sheni observed in Buchenwald after liberation—weuncover a Torah that does not give up on a Jew who still wants in. Becausesometimes, the door doesn’t reopen on its own. It opens when someone has thecourage to knock again. | — | ||||||
| 4/29/26 | ![]() The Appointment We Keep — Or Miss - Emor | There are gifts we receive—and then there are gifts we miss. In this morning’s powerful class, we explore one of the most unsettling questions in our Avodat HaShem: how do the very days designed to bring us closest to HaShem—our Yamim Tovim—become empty, even burdensome? Drawing on a profound mashal from the Dubno Maggid, as presented by Rabbi Yissocher Frand, we uncover the painful transformation of מוֹעֲדֵי ה׳ into מוֹעֲדֵיכֶם, and what it reveals about how we approach sacred time. Through vivid storytelling, timeless sources, and a striking real-life parallel, thisclass challenges us to rethink what it means to “show up” on Yom Tov. From thebalance of חֶצְיוֹ לַה׳ וְחֶצְיוֹ לָכֶםto the unforgettable story of Yosef Mokir Shabbat, we are reminded that thedifference between a holy day and a hollow one is not what’s on the table—butwhether we are truly present. A message that is as practical as it isprofound—and one we hope you will carry long after the class ends. | — | ||||||
| 4/28/26 | ![]() Kohen Gadol: Between Angel and Abyss - EMOR | What if the holiest man, on the holiest day, in the holiest place, could still carrythe darkest thought? And what if that very same man could, in the next moment,rise beyond humanity and stand like a malach before HaShem? In this morning's class, we explore a shocking teaching brought by Rabbi Frand from the Moshav Zekeinim—one that refuses to romanticize holiness and instead reveals the raw, unsettling truth about the human condition. The Kohen Gadol is not just a symbol of purity; he is a mirror held up to every one of us. Drawing on insights from Rabbi YY Jacobson, Chazal, and timeless Torah sources, we uncover the tension at the heart of being human: עָפָר מִן־הָאֲדָמָהand בְּצֶלֶם אֱלֹקִים. From the depths of temptation to the heights of self-transcendence, this episode will challenge how you think about spirituality, struggle, and greatness. It is not a story about the Kohen Gadol alone—it is the story of every אדם standing at the threshold between angel and abyss. | — | ||||||
| 4/26/26 | ![]() The Grasshopper, the Haftarah, and the Secret of Kedushah | What does it really mean to be kadosh? This morning’s class discussed the command קְדֹשִׁים תִּהְיוּ — “Be holy”, but what does that look like in real life? Is holiness found in lofty moments of inspiration, or in the quiet way we live, learn, and relate to others?Join us as we explore that question through powerful, unforgettable stories—moments where Torah was not just studied, but lived, and where greatness revealed itself in ways both subtle and profound. From Rav Chaim Kanievsky’s total immersion in Torah, where Heaven itself seemed to respond, to Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach’s extraordinary sensitivity to a young boy’s dignity, we uncover a deeper definition of kedushah. True holiness is not one-dimensional—it is the balance between closeness to HaShem and care for His people. This is a conversation about clarity, compassion, and what it means to become the kind of person who brings both Heaven and humanity a little closer together. | — | ||||||
| 4/24/26 | ![]() Love Is Not Enough — Learning to Respect the People We Love | Earlier this week, we spoke about the Kohen Gadol on YomKippur. The holiest man, on the holiest day, entering the holiest place — andyet the Torah insists that he cannot enter alone. He must have a home. He musthave a wife. Before a person can stand before HaShem in the Kodesh HaKodashim,he must first learn how to stand properly before another human being. That thought came back to me when a friend shared abeautiful article from Rabbi Yoseph Geisinsky asking: How do we respect thepeople we love? We all know the famous words, “Love your fellow as yourself.”But Rabbi Abittan always reminded us that people forget the end of the pasuk:“Ani HaShem.” HaShem is telling us that our relationship with Him begins withthe way we treat each other — especially the people closest to us. This episodeexplores Rabbi Akiva’s students, the Omer, marriage, family, respect, and thedifficult truth that love alone is not enough. | — | ||||||
| 4/23/26 | ![]() What’s Love Got To Do With It - Acharei Mot Kedoshim | This afternoon’s class opened with a striking question:how can a parashah that begins with death—אַחֲרֵי מוֹת, the tragic loss ofNadav and Avihu—lead directly into one of the most beautiful and demandingmitzvot in the Torah, וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ? We explored a powerfulidea from my rabbis: that true closeness to HaShem is not built on passionalone, but on the capacity to love—deeply, patiently, and without condition.The Kohen Gadol, who enters the Kodesh HaKodashim on Yom Kippur, cannot do so alone—hemust have a wife, a bayit, because only someone who has learned to live withanother soul can stand before HaShem on behalf of a nation. From there, the shiur unfolded into a profound rethinkingof love itself—not as a feeling, but as the foundation of Torah life. We tracedhow the Torah builds אהבה step by step: first removing hatred, then revenge,then grudges, until a person becomes capable of real connection. ThroughChazal, the story of Rabbi Aryeh Levin, and the tragedy of Rabbi Akiva’sstudents, we saw that Torah without love cannot endure. This is not a sidemitzvah—it is the structure that holds everything together. A powerful and practicalclass on marriage, middot, and what it truly means to be קָדוֹשׁ. | — | ||||||
| 4/21/26 | ![]() Too Close to the Fire – Acharei Mot - Understanding Nadav and Avihu | On the holiest day of celebration, when the Shechinah finally descended and heaven touched earth, two of the greatest souls in our history stepped forward—and were consumed by fire. Nadav and Avihu were not distant from HaShem; they were too close. Their story is not one of simple sin, but of holy passion that crossed a boundary, of love that lacked restraint, of a fire that burned without the balance of awe. In this class, we explore the dangerous beauty of spiritual intensity, and the lifelong task of learning how to draw close to HaShem—without getting burned. Trying to understand Nadav and Avihu | — | ||||||
| 4/19/26 | ![]() Two Birds — The Words That Kill and the Words That Give Life | We all know we have to be careful with our words. We’ve heard about lashon hara since we were children. But what if that’s only half the story? What if the Torah is not just warning us about the words we say—but also about the words we fail to say? In this powerful episode, we explore one of the most unusual korbanot in the Torah—the two birds of the metzora—and uncover a life-changing message hidden within it: not all silence is righteous, and not all speech is dangerous. Through deeply moving stories and timeless Torah sources—from the Zohar to the Sefat Emet, and powerful real-life moments shared by Rabbi Frand, Rabbi Feiner, and Rabbi Efraim Roitman—we come face to face with a truth that is both simple and demanding: words can kill… but they can also bring people back to life. The question is not just what you will avoid saying—but what you will choose to say. This episode will change the way you speak, the way you think, and the way you see every interaction you have this week. | — | ||||||
| 4/17/26 | ![]() Look at the Affliction — But See the Person | Tazria-Metzora | In a world that rushes to judge, label, and respond, the Torah teaches us to slow down and look again. In Parashat Tazria-Metzora, the Kohen is commanded not only to examine the affliction—but to look at the person. That double language is not repetition; it is a mandate. You can understand the problem perfectly and still fail the human being completely. This episode explores the deeper vision ofTorah: seeing beyond behavior, beyond words, beyond the surface—and recognizing the soul standing in front of you. Through powerful teachings from Chazal and timeless insights shared by Rabbi Abittan and Rabbi Yoseph Geisinsky, we uncover how many of our conflicts are not really about what they seem. Beneath anger is often pain, beneath argument is often hurt, and beneath distance is often longing. Learning to “look twice” has the power to transform marriages, relationships, parenting, and leadership. Because sometimes, the difference between breaking a person and building them… is simply the willingness to see them. | — | ||||||
| 4/17/26 | ![]() The Month That Heals — Understanding Iyar and the Name of Hashem | In this short message given before Musaf, we explore the hidden depth of the month of Iyar—a time not of open miracles, but of quiet healing and personal growth. Through the pasuk “yithalel hamithalel haskel v’yadoa oti” and the teaching “Ani Hashem Rofecha,” we uncover how Iyar is the month where understanding becomes lived knowledge, where a person begins to realign and rebuild, and where true connection to Hashem becomes the greatest form of refuah. | — | ||||||
| 4/14/26 | ![]() The Birth of a New You - Tazria | Tazria – The Birth of a New You! We all go through pain. Struggles, frustrations, habits we can’t seem to break, patterns we keep repeating. And the hardest part is not the pain itself—it’s the feeling that nothing is coming from it. That we are stuck. That we are not changing. Parashat Tazria comes and challenges that assumption at its core. It teaches that every struggle is either a form of meaningless pain… or the beginning of a birth. The difference is not in the situation—it is in how we understand it and how we respond. In this class, we uncover one of the most practical and powerful ideas in Torah: that a person can be reborn—not once, but every day. Through the concepts of brit milah, speech, habit, and awareness, we begin to see how real change actually happens—not in dramatic moments, but in small, consistent decisions. This is not abstract. It is direct, honest, and deeply relevant to how we live. If we take it seriously, it has the ability to reshape how we think, how we act, and ultimately—who we become. | — | ||||||
| 4/13/26 | ![]() Hated as One, Saved as One — Why We Must Become Adam Again - Tazria Mesora | The world has away of reminding us of something we sometimes forget ourselves: we are one.When a single Jew is attacked, Jews across continents feel it. When one istaken hostage, hearts everywhere begin to pray. We are spoken about as one,judged as one, and too often hated as one. But that reality carries a deepertruth—one that the Torah already taught us long ago. We are called Adam, asingular being, a people bound together as one body and one soul. And if theworld sees us that way, then the question is not whether it’s true—the questionis whether we are living up to it. Thisclass explores the powerful message of Parashat Tazria through the lens ofRabbi Yissocher Frand’s insight: that our greatest strength has always been ameḥad b’lev eḥad—a nation united at the core. Through Torah sources, timelessstories, and the painful clarity of today’s reality, we uncover why lashon harais more than just a personal failing—it is an attack on the very unity thatdefines us. And more importantly, we ask what it would take to rebuild thatunity, not in moments of crisis, but as a way of life. | — | ||||||
| 4/12/26 | ![]() The Greatest Poverty Isn’t What You Lack — It’s What You Don’t See - Tazria | There are people who have everything—and feel like they have nothing. And there are people with very little—who live with a deep sense of richness. What’s the difference? Not circumstance. Not opportunity. A mindset. In this week’s parashah, Tazria, the Torah introduces a halachah that seems technical—but reveals something profound: you cannot live beneath who you are. A person’s offering must reflect their true capacity, not what is convenient, not what others bring, but what they themselves are capable of becoming. In this episode of Breakfast & a Class, we explore the hidden poverty thatChazal warn about—“אין עני אלא בדעת”—and uncover how the way we see ourselves shapes everything: our relationships, our growth, even our avodat Hashem. Through powerful stories and practical insight, this class will challenge you to rethink what it means to be “rich,” and why the greatest loss in life is notwhat we lack—but what we fail to recognize within ourselves. | — | ||||||
| 4/10/26 | ![]() The Fragrance of Truth — Learning to See the Essence | Something powerful lingers after Pesaḥ—but it’s easy to lose it as life returns to normal. In this morning’s breakfast and a class, we take one pasuk from yesterday’s Haftarah—“he will not judge by what his eyes see”—and uncover a stunning idea from Chazal: that Mashiaḥ will judge through re’ach, through a kind of spiritual “fragrance.” What does that mean? And how does it connect to the sea splitting when it “saw” the bones of Yosef? This episode reveals a deeper way of seeing reality—not through surfaces, but through essence. Through Torah sources, Midrash, and powerful contemporary stories, we explore what it means to look at another person—and even at ourselves—not based on behavior, labels, or first impressions, but through the etsem, the inner truth that never changes. If redemption feels distant, this class offers a bold perspective: perhaps geulah begins when we learn to see the way Mashiaḥ sees. | — | ||||||
| 4/6/26 | ![]() The Two Arks That Walk Together - Shevii Shel Pesach | As Bnei Yisrael rush out of Egypt in a moment of chaos, fear, and redemption, the Torah pausesto highlight something unexpected: Moshe searching—not for gold, not for provisions—but for the bones of Yosef. Why, at the most critical turning point in Jewish history, does the Torah focus on a coffin? And why does that coffin travel side by side with the Aron HaBrit throughout the entire journey in the desert? In our class this morning, we endevor to uncover a powerful and often overlooked truth—thatredemption is not just about leaving a place, but about carrying an identity. Through the story of Yosef, we discover the secret behind the splitting of the sea, the balance between Torah and action, and the foundation of what it means to remain a Jew in every environment. This is not just a story about the past—it is a blueprint for the present. Because without memory, there is no direction. Andwithout living what we believe, even Torah itself remains incomplete. | — | ||||||
