Parshat Shemot

This week we kick off the next book of the Torah called Exodus. The parsha is full of heroism, leadership and selflessness. Moses bursts onto the scene and the fledgling family of Yaakov transition into a people!

The great showdown between Jacob and Essau after many decades takes place in this Parsha. There is much we can learn from this to apply to our lives. The strength and clarity of Jacob is one that has been bequeathed to his children — the Jewish nation!

Parshat Toldot

The miraculous nature of the founding father’s and mother’s continues to unfold. Indeed, our very existence is one that transcends nature — a very timely lesson for today’s day and age!!

Parshat Vayera

The Jewish way!

Abraham at the height of his pain — having just circumcised himself at 99 years of age — is standing at his tent to welcome in guests. We glean two important Jewish behaviors from this story.

Lech Lcha — the third Parsha in the book of Breishit:

The promise and Divine gift of the Land of Israel to Abraham. It wasn’t easy even from the start but Abraham’s faith was rock solid and his mission was clear. To bring goodness and light into this world — a mission that’s been handed down through the Jewish nation throughout the ages!

How can one rise above the stresses of life? Navigate all those elements of life that are overwhelming?

This parsha shares the key to it all!

The peak experience of the year takes place on Yom Kippur. Listen to this podcast to gain deeper Kabbalistic insight to the essential power of the day that each of us experiences.

It’s powerful. It’s unique. It’s transformative. It’s Oneness like never before!!

A day of judgement and a day that we coronate G-d as King. This duality is so powerful as it’s not judgement in the sense of judging for punishment rather an audit that we are all passed through in order that each of us can better ourselves and transform this world the way the Divine intention was and is!!

It’s up to each of us to step up and to do so with joy!

Ha’azinu

Our relationship to this world is both physical and spiritual. But who are we really? Physical with some spiritual or rather spiritual beings with some physical?
