Torah Comes to Life | Jewish Wisdom for Our Time

Discover the profound Kabbalistic wisdom of the 12 spiritual senses! In this first class of a monthly series, we explore the foundational framework of the 12 senses of Kabbalah and dive deep into the first sense: Speech.Learn about:

• The Two Cycles of the Jewish Calendar — How Tishrei (nature) and Nisan (miracles) intersect to create a lunisolar calendar unlike any other
• The 12 Senses — Spiritual faculties far beyond the five physical senses, rooted in the superconscious and cultivated through immersion rather than instruction
• Speech as Authentic Expression — Why true speech is not mere talking, but a poetic, soul-level articulation of our deepest self
• The Tribe of Judah & Leadership — How Judah's journey from failed leader to repentant master teaches us about the power of confession and redemption
• The Mystery of Chashmal — The Kabbalistic secret of silence preceding speech, and the three stages of rectified speech: submission, separation, and sweetening
• Three Modes of Speaking — Prayer, Torah study, and personal expression as pathways to authentic spiritual communication

In this special class we explore the deep spiritual meaning of Amalek. Far beyond a historical enemy, Amalek represents a cosmic energy of radical doubt (safek) that attacks us right before we reach our spiritual destinations or make major life decisions.

Join us as we uncover how to fight the "Amalek within" by embracing our own incompleteness. We'll dive into profound Kabbalistic concepts and stunning Gematria to reveal how faith inherently coexists with doubt. Discover how the five generations—from Abraham to Amalek—represent five existential "doubts" or forms of "halfness," and learn how to transform self-destructive doubt into a beautiful engine for continuous spiritual growth.

Most people think the 10th of Tevet is just a "minor" fast day marking the start of a siege. But what if it actually holds the key to Judaism's entire mission?

A new wave of antisemitism is rising—but the real struggle may begin closer to home than we think.

In this fascinating talk, Rabbi Nir Menussi discusses the global resurgence of antisemitism, describing it as a "light sleeper" that has fully awakened in both classical right-wing nationalism and modern left-wing anti-Zionism. Drawing on the philosophy of the Rebbe, he presents a radically positive approach: instead of getting caught in the "victim mentality" of fighting the darkness—by constantly labeling and calling out antisemites—the focus should be on spreading light. Antisemitism should serve as an "alarm clock" for the Jewish people to strengthen their identity and embrace their universal mission: to be a "light unto the nations" by sharing the wisdom and values of the Torah with the world.

Class given at Lev LeDaas congregation in Teaneck, NJ on 12 Kislev 5786, December 2 2025.
