A-Muse with Reb Ari Bensoussan ·

2025/06/18

I Know. We are all feeling it. The war in Israel and our brothers and sisters suffering in bomb shelters as missiles mercilessly rain down upon them. In our class today we share chizuk and ideas to help us gain clarity and focus as jews always do in the face of evil. Along the way we come face to face with those who put their mouths and false pretenses before the truths their eyes are showing them.

A-Muse with Reb Ari Bensoussan ·

2025/05/06

This one is pretty hard hitting. I didn't mean for it to be so intense but I realized how much I have personally weakened in my own Kedusha since I have moved from Israel and I guess this is the product of that! We talk about the famous Ramban of Menuval B'reshut hatroah in todays society. We find a hidden gem of a Ramban in Acharei Mot that teaches 4 levels of living for this world and the next. And a funny story in a pizza shop in Israel.

A-Muse with Reb Ari Bensoussan ·

2024/12/25

In our next installment of Chanukah, we talk about the prep involved in set up of the menorah and why Eliyahu Hanavi feels the set up is key. We then delve deeper into the aspects of flame (Neshama) Wicks (Guf) and Oil ( Chochmah). In the end we tie it up with some heavy emotion-namely, not seeing help from above time after time and how staring a the candles can help with that. Somehow the concept of "Thru- Hiking" helps shed light on the entire idea thru-out. Enjoy and Chanukah Sameach.
