September 29, 2020 5781 — Sukkot: The Ritual of Lulav; To Rejoice for Seven Days Before the Divine
Our practice today of shaking the lulav every day of Sukkot is based on a decree that R. Yohanan b. Zakai made post Temple destruction. From where did he get the daring to institute that we would continue to perform the ritual as it had been done in the Temple itself? What is the ritual of lulav all about? Why do we shake it? How can his decree, made so long ago, help us today, in the time of Covid-19 and communal isolation, rejoice with the lulav?

September 22, 2020 5781 — Ha’Azinu: Cultivating the Spiritual Practice of Remembering
Moving away from feeling distant from the Divine Presence - the Shechina - towards sensing closeness to Her. Why do we in fact feel distant, feel far, feel disconnected at times? And why do we sense closeness and connection at other times? A teaching from the Piaseczner Rebbe speaks to this very spiritual condition.

September 13, 2020 5781 — Rosh Hashana: A Very Narrow Bridge: Getting to the Other Side
This Rosh Hashanah podcast is sponsored by Ricki and David Bernstein in memory of Ricki’s parents, Beatrice and Murray Kirschblat, each a sole survivor of large families which perished in the Shoah.
This podcast compares the popular song "Kol Ha'olam Kulo" with the "real" words and shows us the difference between fearing and being a fearful person. Using an interpretation of two words in the Unetaneh Tokef prayer it then goes on to show us how we can be resilient while also in touch with our emotions.

August 30, 2020 5780 — Ki Tavo: Cultivating the spiritual practice of Walking In His Ways
Parashat Ki Tavo contains the command, found in Devarim 28:9: “And you shall walk in His ways.” The Rambam counts this as one of the 613 mitzvot, and explains that it charges us “to resemble Him according to our capacity." When outlining the general principles that govern his reckoning of the 613 mitzvot, the Rambam states in Sefer HaMitzvot, Klal 4, that he does not include commandments of a general nature. Therefore, we are forced to conclude that there is a particular dimension to this mitzvah which does not exist in other mitzvot, and that this causes the Rambam to include it as one of the 613. What in fact is unique only to this particular mitzvah?
