A man struggling to make ends meet wants to one day buy his wife a gift. He doesn’t have much, but every night, he empties whatever spare change he has into a jar—nickels, dimes, maybe the occasional dollar. “One day,” he tells himself, “this’ll turn into something special.” Years go by.

What would you do if you knew that fulfilling a mitzvah meant you were one step closer to the end of your life? Most people might stall. Look for a way to delay. Try to hold on just a little longer. But not Moshe Rabbeinu. At the beginning of Parshat Matot, Hashem commands Moshe: “Nekom…

A while ago, I saw this video of a couple humorously bragging about how smart their kids are. The joke? No matter what wisdom they tried to share, the kids would immediately respond, “I know.” The father consults multi-million dollar companies. The mother is an expert in her field. But to their kids?

Then there’s the fake news. The half-truths. The “experts” on Twitter who suddenly know everything about international law, military strategy, and politics. And the terrorist…

The sin of the meraglim wasn’t just a tactical error. It was a rejection of the one of the greatest gifts Hashem had promised His people — Eretz Yisrael. Hashem had described it as a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey, the land that Hashem watches over from the beginning…

Complaining vs. Gratitude: A Mindset That Shapes Everything In this week’s parsha, Bnei Yisrael complain. They remember the “free” fish in Egypt, the cucumbers, leeks, onions, and garlic — and they long for it. Not freedom. Not connection to Hashem. Just food. Just comfort. They forget the slavery. The pain. The miracles that carried them…
