  • Understanding Mashiach ben Yosef

    Who is Mashiach ben Yosef? What is the true origin of the Mashiach ben Yosef idea, and where can it be found in the Torah? What are the four prophesied stages in the era of Mashiach ben Yosef at the End of Days? And what does it have to do with recent events in the Holy Land?


    Find out in this class where we embark on an in-depth exploration of Mashiach ben Yosef from the most ancient Biblical texts through the Talmud, Midrash, Zohar, Arizal, and the mysterious Kol haTor.


    Also: Why are Christians called “Notzrim” in Hebrew? And what role might Christians play in the forthcoming Redemption? When is the “Ingathering of the Exiles” stage complete, and what exactly are the “birth pangs of the Messiah”?

  • The Coming Solar Eclipse

    What might the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 mean for the world? What is the spiritual significance of solar and lunar eclipses? And how do we reconcile the notion that eclipses are signs from Heaven with the scientific understanding that eclipses are natural and easily predictable long in advance?

  • Apocrypha #1: Understanding Tanakh

    Join us as we embark on a journey exploring the Sifrei Hitzonim (“Apocrypha”), the ancient texts that were deliberately suppressed and excluded from the Tanakh (“Hebrew Bible”). In this first part of the series, we explore who wrote the Tanakh, how it was compiled, and what criteria were used in its canonization. We also take a look at why some Biblical books almost didn’t make the cut.

    Along the way, we discuss whether the Book of Daniel is truly prophetic or not, why some sought to “cancel” the Book of Ezekiel, the surprising apocryphal Book of Esther, and why Shir haShirim (King Solomon’s Song of Songs) is so graphic and explicit.
