In this special episode of our Sichos HaRan series, we explore #146 in light of the current situation in the Holy Land. We hope you find this shiur meaningful, and may we only hear good news along this ever-accelerating journey toward redemption for am Yisrael and all of humanity.

In this shiur, we continue our journey through Kesser Shem Tov, exploring #121a about the relationship between awe of Tzaddikim and awe of Hashem, 121b about the parable of the poisoned chicken, #122 about how to break our of our inner Egypt, and #124 regarding the deeper meaning behind the journeys we experience in this lifetime.

In this shiur we explore the meaning of "b'emunaso yichyeh", how to experience life as an all-encompassing experience of connection with the Divine, transforming our more limited understanding of Torah and mitzvos from "laws" and "restrictions" to an immersive program for consciousness expansion.

‏לעילוי נשמת אמי מורתי שרה דבורה חיה בת יהושוע

ולעילוי נשמת מרים בת יהושוע ויהושוע בן אברהם יהודה שנספו בגזרת השואה

and Deborah Jacobi in honour of her beloved father, Aryeh Leib ben Shlomo, of blessed memory.

In this shiur on Rebbe Nachman's Sichos HaRan, we explore #142, a revelation regarding how to counter the energy of the Yetzer Hara, #143 about the cause of physical and spiritual fever, #144 about the teachings Rebbe Nachman revealed in nature, and #145 regarding the incredible delight we bring Hashem when we turn Torah into Tefillah.

In this shiur we explore the evolutionary arc of individual humans and humanity as a whole - developing past "simply faith" into a more "sophisticated" and scientific worldview of secularism, until the pain of the existential angst caused by living in a world without meaning drives us back into faith once more.
