Why Must We Begin the Story of the Haggadah with Us...

Chassidus for Life ·

2025/04/08

In this first of two episodes on the Pesach Haggadah we are going to discuss the concept of matchil b'genut u'mesayeim b'shevach, that the Haggadah starts with us at our lowest. Why does story of the Haggadah have to begin this way? Why is this the state we need to be in at the time of the Exodus? And what does that tell us about when we are at our own personal lowest? We'll get into all of that and much more in this episode! If you want to follow along in the text, it is Nesiovs Shalo...

Getting Rid of Chametz, Inside and Out (Pesach)

Chassidus for Life ·

2025/04/02

In this episode we get into Pesach and the mitzvah of bedikas chametz, the days long search for chamtz in our homes. We put so much effort into searing every corner and crack of our house to make sure there isn't even a crumb of chametz on Pesach. In terms of our internal avodah, why is this so important to do? Why are we required to be so much more thorough when it comes to searching for chametz than almost any other mitzvah? And why do we need to go so far as to burn it afterwards? We'll ge...

2025/03/26

In this episode we are going to get into Parshat Pekudei, the final Parsha in Sefer Shemot! After many weeks working to construct the Mishkan, Moshe finally put it up. But it takes seven days of him constructing it and breaking it down, multiple times per day, until God's presence finally rests on the Mishkan. What is the meaning of this process? And what does it mean for how we relate to our internal Mishkan and how to make sure God dwells within us? We'll get into all of that and much more ...

2025/03/19

In this episode we are going to get into Parshat Parah, one of the special parshoyot we read leading into Pesach! Why do we read about the Parah Adumah, the purifying red heifer, this week?

*Link to my Parsha WhatsApp chat mentioned in this episode - click here to join. In this episode we are going to get into the meaning of the Gemara that says that a person is supposed to drink on Purim to the point of not being able to tell the difference between the cursedness of Haman and the blessedness of Mordechai. Why would this be something to strive for on such a holy day? And where are we really meant to get to internally through this process, whether we drink wine on Purim or not? W...

Building My Inner Mishkan (Terumah)

Chassidus for Life ·

2025/02/26

In this episode on Parshat Terumah we are going to discuss the personal avodas Hashem of the Mishkan. Why does God dedicate so many parshiyot of the Torah to something that we only use for a brief time in the desert? Why is it so significant? How is it relevant to me? And why do the parshiyot of the Mishkan almost always overlap with Adar and Purim? We will get into all of that and more in this episode!

Chassidus for Life ·

God tells us this is what we need to aspire to in order to receive the Torah. But what does kadosh, holy, really mean? Why is kedusha so central to being a Jew and entering into a conversant with God? How can I achieve kedusha myself? Well get into all of that and more in this episode!

Chassidus for Life ·

2025/02/05

In this episode on Pashat Beshalach and Parshat Shira we discuss Az Yashir, the song that Israel sang at the sea. What was so tremendous about that moment of song? Why does the Midrash claim that God was waiting for this level of song since he created Adam in Gan Eden? What is so lofty about song in general, and how do we reach those heights of song ourselves? We'll get into all that and more! If you want to follow along in the text, it is Nesiovs Shalom on Shemot page kuf tet vav (115...

Chassidus for Life ·

2025/01/22

In this episode we discuss the challenge of having faith in the darkness of exile, the unique level of faith it took for Israel to get out of Egypt, and the faith we need to get out of our own darkness, personal and national. This was given on the evening of the release of the first three hostages, so during the episode we're going to lightly touch on the emunah involved in the miracle of their release, as well as the challenges of the war we've been in for so long. I hope it will be an emoti...
