This week's Torah portion, Shelach, tells the dramatic story of the spies—meraglim—sent by Moshe to scout the Land of Israel. But the deeper question is: were they spies, or were they meant to be tourists?

The mission, Rashi explains, was not necessary from G-d’s perspective. G-d had already assured the people that the Land was good. But the people were afraid, uncertain. They wanted reassurance. So Moshe sends twelve leaders, one from each tribe, to "see" the land and report back—not to decide whether to go in, but to help envision what inheriting the land would look like.

But something shifts. The Torah says "Vayelchu vayavo’u", they went and they returned—with a negative report. Why both verbs? Rashi explains: they already had a negative intention when they left. If so, why would Moshe send them?

This gentle, heart-centered meditation guides you into the stillness of the present moment—the place where your truest self and the Presence of Hashem are found. Through breath, awareness, and soft surrender, you are invited to release striving, thoughts, and identity, and rest in the quiet field of Divine being. There is nothing to do, nowhere to go—just the simplicity of being. Allow the breath to carry you home to your essence, to the now, and to the infinite embrace of G-d's presence within and around you.

Who was the grandmother of King David? A royal Moabite who left everything to follow G-d and believe in herself. Ruth teaches us that we all begin in the field uncertain, unpolished, uninvited. But when we choose connection over comfort, service over self-serving, we become vessels for redemption. That is how Mashiach comes—not just on a cosmic scale, but in the quiet moments when we align with truth, when we listen deeply, when we allow wonder in, when we say “yes” from the depths of our being.

Listen to this excellent class on one of the most remarkable women in history, the grandmother of King David.

On Shavuot, we don’t just receive the Torah — we receive its deepest essence.

The Book of Ruth is more than a beautiful story. It’s a spiritual map of humility, courage, and the inner field where the soul seeks G-d. Ruth, the great-grandmother of King David, embodies the Sefirah of Malchut — receptivity, prayer, and royalty born of brokenness.

We read Ruth to remember: Torah isn’t just written in a scroll — it’s whispered in the heart, revealed in loyalty, and lived through love.

✨ Join us as we uncover the mystical secrets of Ruth, Malchut, and the true power of receiving.

Moshe’s small Aleph and Adam’s large Aleph represent two spiritual paths:
One leads to humility, Divine connection, and inner wonder.
The other leans into ego, self-focus, and disconnection from higher truth.

In this powerful teaching, Rabbi Amichai Cohen explores the mystical meaning behind the small Aleph in Vayikra and the large Aleph in Adam, revealing a profound message for each of us—especially as we enter the month of Nisan, the time of miracles.

In this clip from our weekly Own Your Light session, Miriam explores the connection between speech, shame, and inner redemption as we journey from Purim to Pesach.

We dive into the roots of Amalek, the spiritual meaning of Moshe’s speech challenges, and how finding our voice is a key part of the redemption process—personally and collectively.

In this powerful and deeply healing session, Rabbi Amichai Cohen sits down with breakthrough coach and shadow integration expert Doron Yitzchak for a timely and soul-stirring conversation as we prepare for Pesach.

🔥 What is the shadow?
🔥 Why do our deepest wounds hold the keys to our greatest breakthroughs?
🔥 How can Chametz (leaven) teach us about ego, expansion, and contraction?
🔥 What does true freedom really mean?

Doron unpacks the true essence of shadow work, how the soul forms its “negative imprint,” and why radical self-acceptance is the foundation for real transformation.

This week’s Torah portion is Vayakhel, which is often read together with the following portion, Pekudei. These two portions share a unique connection, as they both recount the building of the Mishkan, the Tabernacle. Previously, in Parshiyot Terumah and Tetzaveh, Hashem commanded the construction of the Mishkan and its vessels. Now, in Vayakhel and Pekudei, we see the actual execution of those instructions.

The Mishkan was built under the leadership of two great individuals: Betzalel ben Uri from the tribe of Yehuda and Oholiav ben Achisamach from the tribe of Dan. Rashi explains that Hashem specifically chose leaders from both the highest-ranking tribe (Yehuda) and the lowest-ranking tribe (Dan) to emphasize that the Mishkan belonged to everyone.

Purim & the Lunar Eclipse in Virgo: Surrendering Control

This year, Purim aligns with a lunar eclipse in Virgo, a cosmic push to release control and trust the unknown. Virgo seeks order and clarity, while its opposite, Pisces, embraces mystery and faith.

Like the Purim story, where hidden miracles unfolded beyond human planning, this eclipse asks us to balance effort with surrender. The concealed hand of Hashem is always at work, even in chaos.

Let go of rigid expectations. Trust divine timing. In the space between clarity and mystery, true transformation happens.
