Amalek is a nation considered the eternal nemesis of the Jewish people. They were the first to attack the Israelites as they came out of Egypt, instilling fear and doubt in their minds and hearts. Our Sages teach us that Amalek has the same numerology as doubt and that the etymology is a composite of the word "Malak," which means to sever. The Amalekites were brutal and savage, severing the heads of their enemies. The Talmud says, "The name of G-d is not complete and his throne not full until Am...

We have come from close to a month of Holidays culminating with Simchat Torah, one of the most joyous days on the calendar. Simchat Torah was never more stark than the one we exp...

Nothing is more powerful than the feeling of the loving embrace of the Creator. The truth is that we are ALWAYS lovingly embraced and held. We are often distracted, worried, and confused, as well as many other emotions that prevent us from feeling this constant loving truth.

As we transition from the days of Rosh Hashana to Yom Kippur, we come to the "10 days of Teshuva- repentance."

How much presence vs. distractions do you have in your life? How about gratitude and positivity vs. seeing the negative? Rosh Hashana- the Jewish New Year is not only a celebration for the start of new beginnings; it is called "Yom Hadin," the day of judgment. Kabbalah and Chassidut explain that the judgment of Rosh Hashana is on the extent of how much we brought Hashem- God, into our lives. Much like a physical king has dominion over every vicinity of his kingdom, Hashem's kingship is manifeste...

In the Torah portion of Ki Teitzei, the narrative starts with the theme of going out to war. Renowned commentator Rashi imparts a fascinating perspective—he dubs this conflict a "war of permission."

In the Zohar on the Geula (chapter 25) , we learn about how Hashem's oneness will be revealed when Moshiach comes; thereby, the Erev Rav will be separated, and the pristine unity will be revealed. Both Temples were destroyed caused by the separation of the Shefa of Binah and Yesod. The sweetness of the "tree of life" will finally manifest within the Torah, transcending the "tree of good and bad" consciousness to reveal Hashem in the world.

Aharon, the High Priest was the greatest lover of his fellow human. Similar to Avraham, Aharon bestowed kindness for the sake of kindness. Yet Chassidut teaches us actually surpassed Avraham.

It is seemingly paradoxical that Aharon's day of passing (the only one mentioned in the entire Torah) is on the first of the month of Av. The month of Av, whose sign is Leo is characterized by fiery intens...
