  • Geula Begins Here: Humility, Mission, and the Truth About Kavod

    Korach’s claim sounded holy: “Ki kol ha’edah kulam kedoshim — The entire nation is holy!” And he wasn’t wrong. Every Jew stood at Har Sinai. We all carry a divine spark.But Korach twisted that truth. Instead of using holiness to serve, he used it to seize. He couldn’t accept that someone else had the role…

  • Train Your Eyes to See What Hashem Sees

    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…

  • Why Complaining Keeps You Stuck — And Gratitude Sets You Free

    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…

  • Why Hashem Made Us Different — And How That Brings Geula

    In Parshat Bamidbar, Hashem commands Moshe to organize the Jewish camp — not randomly, but with divine precision. Each tribe had a unique flag, symbolizing its identity and mission. The tribes formed four groupings around the Mishkan — the dwelling place of the Shechina. But these groupings weren’t arbitrary.They were intentional.They were complementary. For example,…

  • Walking With Hashem: The First Step Toward Geula

    Parshat Behar opens with Shemita — six years of working the land, followed by a full year of rest. It echoes Shabbat: six days of work, one day of rest. Both reflect the rhythm of creation: Hashem created in six days and rested on the seventh. But this isn’t just about rest — it’s about…

  • Redemption with Purpose: Becoming a Light to the Nations

    Living the Purpose of Our Redemption In Parshat Emor, we read a powerful command: “You shall not desecrate My holy name, and I shall be sanctified among the Children of Israel.” (Vayikra 22:32)Immediately after, the Torah reminds us: “I am Hashem who took you out of Egypt to be your God.”  Rashi explains: The purpose…

  • Don’t Just Keep the Mitzvot—Let Them Bring You to Life

    Choose Life. Choose Joy. Choose Geula. There is a powerful idea toward the end of Parshat Acharei Mot: “Ushmartem et chukotai… asher yaaseh otam ha’adam vachai bahem” – “You shall keep My statutes and My laws, that a person shall do them and live by them” (Vayikra 18:5). What does it mean to “live by…

  • The Power of Words to Build and Destroy

    The Mouth That Destroys, The Mouth That Rebuilds Not long ago, we all felt it.The silence. The distance. The ache of being apart.During the Covid lockdowns, even Pesach seders were held in empty rooms. Shabbos meals with no guests.Some of us were lucky to have family.But too many were completely alone — no one to…

  • Step Into the Eighth Day: Aharon, Bitachon, and the Fire from Heaven

    This week’s parsha begins with a moment charged with destiny:“Vayehi bayom hashmini”—And it was on the eighth day.It was the first of Nisan, but more than that—it was the eighth day since Moshe began erecting the Mishkan.For seven days, Moshe built it, served as the Kohen Gadol, performed the Avodah, and disassembled it each evening.But…

  • Singing Our Way to Geulah

    We Will Sing Again Shirat HaYam is not just a memory. It’s a preview. The song we read this Shabbat—Az Yashir Moshe—was the song of a nation who had just been saved. But if you look closely, it’s written in the future tense: “Then Moshe will sing.” Why? Because that song isn’t finished. That clarity,…
