2025/12/24

A great story anchors today’s special edition of“Breakfast & a Class” on Parashat Vayigash, dedicated le‘iluynishmat Adele bat Victoria—a woman of clear vision and honestrealism. At the center is Yosef’s thunderclap moment: “אֲנִי יוֹסֵף”—nota reunion scene, but a preview of the day when our own narratives collapse andtruth stands in the room. Why were the brothers struck silent even after regretand teshuvah? Because the most dangerous lie isn’t what others tell us—it’swhat we tell

One Parent, Ten Children, and a Week of Kaddish

Parsha with Rabbi David Bibi ·

2025/12/23

This morning’s class was recorded in Jeruslem, at 7:00 in the morning, in a synagogue where “Breakfast and a Class” meant something very different.The coffee was finished. Instead there was arak. It was a yahrzeit morning, and the setting was Zecher le-Avraham — a domed synagogue built in memory of Avraham Picciotto, just off the old railway line where tracks once carried people away and life has since grown back around them. From that quiet, early-morning space, surrounded by children,

When Truth Is Strong Enough to Be Gentle - VaYigash

Parsha with Rabbi David Bibi ·

2025/12/21

Vayigash opens like a courtroom hanging over a cliff: Binyamin is “caught,” the goblet is the evidence, and the verdict is already on the table. But then Yehudah steps forward — not with clever legal arguments, and not with polite diplomacy — but with a different kind of power: responsibility. In this episode, we follow Yehudah’s fierce approach to Yosef, the moment he abandons “policy” and pleads the case of a broken father, and the breathtaking line that should never exist in any normal justice

In this morning’sclass, Sweetening the Channels — How Hidden Light Rewrites the Script, weexplore a deceptively simple question that opens a profound door: if Divineflow comes through channels shaped by our soul’s past, does that mean somelives are destined to be harder than others? Drawing from the Arizal, thetwelve tribes, Yosef’s descent into Egypt, and the inner mechanics of gilgul,this class reframes struggle not as punishment — but as a soul’s chosen terrainfor repair.Setagainst the

Why do we embrace truth when it benefits us — and resistit when it costs us? In this powerful Breakfast & a Class, we explore oneof the most unsettling patterns in human nature: how the same facts can lead tocompletely opposite moral judgments depending on comfort, self-interest, andperspective. From Pharaoh’s embrace of Yosef to his rejection of Moshe, theTorah exposes a hypocrisy that isn’t ancient history — it’s alive in every oneof us.Drawing on Midrash, Talmud, Zohar, sifrei mussar, and

The Two Words That Echoed for Two Years

Parsha with Rabbi David Bibi ·

2025/12/15

From the stones of the Kotel at sunrise to the darkness of Yosef’s prison cell, this episode is about the kind of power we forget words carry. Parashat Miketz opens with “Vayehi miketz shenatayim yamim” — two years that Chazal trace back to two phrases Yosef says: “zekhartani… ve-hizkartani.”How can Yosef—Mr. Bitachon—be “punished” for a simple request? We unpackMidrash Tanchuma’s sharp language and discover something unsettling: speechdoesn’t only describe reality — it can set the terms of

Faith Without Illusions - Bitachon, Yosef, Ḥanukkah,...

Parsha with Rabbi David Bibi ·

2025/12/14

This morning’s podcast explores the quiet but demanding avodah of bitachon—trust in Hashem—through the life of Yosef HaTzaddik. Drawing on the teachings of our Rabbi and mentor, Rabbi Abittan זצ״ל, a תלמיד of the Ḥazon Ish, we examine his powerful lesson that bitachon is the greatest test of our generation. Yosef’s journey—from the pit, to prison, to the palace—reveals what true trust looks like when every outcome seems uncertain and every door appears closed. As we enter the holiday of Ḥanukkah,

Enteringthe Light - Why Seeing the Ḥanukkah Candles Is Not EnoughWeall love candlelight. It softens a room. It quiets a home. It makes everythingfeel spiritual. But the Torah never treats light as ambiance. From the verybeginning of Creation, light is so much more: Vayomer Elokim yehi or — vayehior - “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” Chazalteach that this was no ordinary light: Or she’adam tsofeh bo misof ha’olam ve‘ad sofo - “A light with which onecould see from one end

What if your dreams are more than scattered images of the night? This morning’s Breakfast & a Class Podcast takes you deep into the world of Yosef HaTzaddik and the hidden architecture of dreams in the Torah. From prophetic visions to frightening nightmares, from Yosef’s rise in Egypt to the terrifying power of interpretation described by Chazal, this episode reveals how dreams can shape destinies—and how your words can shape your dreams.

FALLING, ADMITTING, AND RISING AGAIN

Parsha with Rabbi David Bibi ·

2025/12/08

What really makes a person great — never falling, or knowing how to rise? In this morning’s powerful episode on Parashat Vayeshev, we journey through one of the most painful family dramas in the Torah: the sale of Yosef, the failure of Yehudah, the shocking story of Tamar, and the confrontation of kings — Shaul and David. This is not a class about ancient figures. It’s a class about us — about guilt, responsibility, collapse, and the courage to admit, “I was wrong.”In our class, we try to strip

Shalem Takes Time Yaakob and The Lesson of Patience

Parsha with Rabbi David Bibi ·

2025/12/07

We live in a world of instant gratification—instant answers, instant fixes, instant results. But the Torah offers a very different vision of how real growth happens. In this powerful class on the words “Vayavo Ya‘aqov shalem”, we uncover a deeper truth hidden in Rashi and Midrash Rabbah: although Ya‘aqov’s healing began immediately, his journey to becoming truly shalem—whole in body, wealth, and spirit—took years. Through sharp insight, relatable modern analogies, and timeless Torah sources, this

After Ya‘aqov makes peace with his brother, he settles for eighteen months and builds two kinds of structures: permanent homes for his family and fragile huts for his animals. Yet he names the entire place not “Batim — Homes,” but “Sukkot — Huts.” Why? What message was he sending his

Ya‘akov, Eisav, and Our Job in This World - VAYISHLACH

Parsha with Rabbi David Bibi ·

2025/12/03

In this morning’s Breakfast and a Class, we explore one of the most mysterious scenes in the Torah: the hug and kiss between Ya‘aqov and Eisav. Why does the Torah place dots over the word va-yishaqehu—“and he kissed him”? Was it love, or was it hatred? And what does this ancient encounter have to do with the world we walk into every single morning—our businesses, our challenges, our families, and the culture that surrounds us?This episode takes you deep into the kabbalistic framework of Tohu and

2025/12/03

In this week’s podcast, we uncover one of the most breathtaking Midrashim in Parashat Vayetze — the real reason Ya‘aqov Avinu arrived in Ḥaran penniless, carrying nothing but a staff. It wasn’t poverty, and it wasn’t neglect. It was because the love Yitzḥak once showed a deeply flawed grandson stopped a murder and saved the entire future of Am Yisrael. One act of warmth, years earlier, changed the destiny of the Jewish people. And from there, we trace a pattern that repeats through history: how a

Vayishlach- Twelve Against Eleven - How Yisrael...

Parsha with Rabbi David Bibi ·

2025/12/02

This week’s episode uncovers one of the most hidden structures in the Torah: the cosmic war between the twelve channels of kedushah and the eleven forces of tum’ah. When Ya‘aqov completes the twelve tribes, the universe tilts. Suddenly Eisav’s eleven chiefs, Haman’s eleven klipot, and the eleventh foul ingredient of the Ketoret all fall into place. Why does Ya‘aqov bow, but Mordechai refuses? Why does Yosef singe Eisav like flax? And why does holiness never settle at ten,and never tolerate eleven,

“Taryag Shamarti — The Torah That Never Leaves a Jew”Parashat Vayishlaḥ — Sunday Morning Breakfast Class Edition Life doesn’t pause for Torah. Ya‘aqov Avinu reminds us of that this week. For twenty long years he lived in the chaos of Lavan’s house — working nonstop, raising a family, navigating danger, and grinding through the pressures of daily life. Yet when he prepares to face ‘Esav, he sends one cryptic message: “עִם לָבָן גַּרְתִּי — I lived with Lavan… and I held onto all 613 mitzvot.” What

Ya‘akov Ish Tam — master of balance, not a naïve soul.This episode explores why HaShem waited for Ya‘akov — and only Ya‘akov — to father the Twelve Tribes. We contrast Avraham’s Chesed and Yitzḥak’s Gevurah with Ya‘akov’s Tiferet, the balanced center that brings holiness into everyday life. Drawing on a penetrating insight from Rabbi Yissocher Frand, we uncover how Ya‘akov, the “simple man,” could stand toe-to-toe with Lavan the deceiver — and how Esther, the woman of silence, learned when silence

This week’s 48-minute lunch class follows Ya‘aqov Avinu on the road out of Be’er Sheva — alone, stripped of everything — and uncovers the hidden drama that Chazal wove beneath the surface. We explored Eliphaz standing over him with a sword, the terrifying choice between Esav and Yitzḥak, the shocking gilgul that transforms Eliphaz into Onkelos, and the painful wound that produces ‘Amaleq. The class brings together Midrash, Zohar, Rema MiPano, and Rashbi to reveal how one hesitant moment of decency
