Parshas Ki Tsavo: Covenant In Stone

Moshe commands the nation to write the Torah on large stones as they cross into Israel. Ramban explains this was not ceremonial—it declared that our right to the land rests on Torah itself. The Or HaChaim adds something deeper: this was a new ownership. Until now, Israel was promised because of our forefathers. With this act, the nation earned it through their own action. Their covenant was no longer only inherited—it was chosen.

This Shabbos also corresponds to Chai Elul, the birthdays of the Baal Shem Tov and the Alter Rebbe. The Baal Shem Tov revealed that every Jew can serve G-d with sincerity and joy. The Alter Rebbe gave us the path of Chabad Chassidus, teaching us how to internalize that bond with depth and clarity. Together, they show us that Torah is not just our history, it is our personal inheritance, alive in every generation.

As we approach Rosh Hashanah, Elul reminds us: the King is in the field. G-d is near. It is up to us to step forward, to own the covenant, and to build our year with faith, clarity, and joy.

Parshas Va’eschanan: The Living Bond

The covenant at Sinai wasn’t just made with those who stood there.

Moshe tells the Jewish people, “It was with us, all of us alive today.” Forty years had passed, and many had never even been at the mountain—yet the bond was still theirs.

The Lubavitcher Rebbe explains that “today” means it is always alive. The Torah isn’t history. It is present. Every mitzvah, every word of Torah, every connection to G-d is Sinai all over again.

This week’s episode explores how to live with that clarity every single day—until the ultimate redemption.

Parshas Devarim: Words That Build

The words that built a nation… can rebuild it again.

As Moshe begins his final address, he doesn’t just recount history—he awakens a generation. He speaks with love, with truth, and with the courage to rebuke a people he still believes in.

But these weren’t G-d’s words. They were his. And the Torah calls them holy.

This week’s Parsha is about the power of speech, the healing of responsibility, and the vision of what can still be rebuilt.

We are not here to mourn forever. We were created to rebuild.

🎙️ Parshas Matos & Massei: Walk It Back is live.

We end Sefer Bamidbar not with miracles, but with laws. Cities of refuge. Inheritance. Boundaries. Conditions. Each one teaches that holiness isn’t just about inspiration—it’s about responsibility.

🎙️ New episode: Parshas Pinchas – When Fire Waits

Pinchas took bold action. He stood for G-d’s honor and stopped a national crisis. But his reward didn’t come immediately. It was delayed until the next Parsha. Why?

Rashi says it was because people misunderstood his act. The public mocked him. So G-d waited until clarity could rise.

🎙️ Parshas Balak: Not Just Words is now live.

Bilaam planned to curse the Jewish people—but each time, G-d turned his curses into blessings. On his third and final attempt, he introduces himself as “the man with the open eye.” Why so theatrical? And why now?

The Ohr HaChaim explains something powerful. Until then, Bilaam had only spoken what G-d placed in his mouth. But now, he wanted to speak freely. He wanted to insert his own message—believing he could finally shape the outcome. G-d let him try. And then, mid-sentence, G-d reshaped the words again. A single added word turned a fading plant into a tree of life.

This episode explores what that means for us. Even when we feel powerless, even when we lose control, the story isn’t over. G-d partners with our choices and transforms even the broken pieces into blessings.

🎙️ New Episode: Parshas Chukas – Our Story, Continued.

Moshe sends a message to the king of Edom: “So says your brother, Israel: You know all the hardships that have befallen us.” But how can Edom possibly know our suffering? They never felt the pain of slavery. They didn’t stand at Sinai. Why speak to them this way?

Even if Edom didn’t live the exile, they still carry the soul of Avraham. And that spark, says the Rebbe, can still answer the call.

We also reflect on Israel’s recent victories. Missiles may fall, but the Jewish soul rises. The connection between Jews is never defined by distance—it’s defined by presence, empathy, and prayer.

🎙️ New Episode – Parshas Korach: Carried By Vision

The ground opened beneath Korach, but the doubts didn’t close with it.
G-d didn’t just silence rebellion. He planted a deeper message.

Aaron’s staff didn’t strike—it bloomed. In silence. In holiness.
Because true leaders don’t rise for power. They rise to lift others.

This week’s episode connects Korach’s fall to the Rebbe’s legacy—revealing what it really means to lead, especially as we approach Gimmel Tammuz.

🎙️ New Episode – Parshas Beha’alosecha: The Hidden Belonging

What does a convert have in common with someone who missed the first Pesach?
Everything.

Both stand at the edge, wondering if it’s too late to belong.
And both receive the same reply: There is one law for you—for the convert and the citizen.
Not because we make room for them, but because they were always part of the story.

This Parsha Perspective is a powerful look at second chances, true inclusion, and the Ohr HaChaim’s bold insight:
That your soul was at the Exodus, even if you’re just discovering it now.

🎙️ Parshas Naso: Back from Beyond

Why does the Torah circle back to the Metzora—the one sent outside all three camps—right after listing the service of the Leviim?
Because G-d doesn’t just describe distance. He maps the way home.

Even those furthest from the Mishkan were given a specific process of return.
There is no such thing as permanent exile. No one is too far gone.

This week’s Parsha Perspective explores how the Torah shows us a path back—no matter how hidden it feels.
And coming right after Shavuos, it’s the perfect reminder that Torah is not beyond us.
It’s in our mouths, our hearts, and our next step forward.

The Lag BaOmer Perspective: Fire From Within

Lag BaOmer is a day of joy, fire, and song.
But its roots are shadowed by loss, exile, and silence.

Why do we celebrate a day born from such pain?
Because that’s where true light is forged.

Rabbi Akiva lost everything—and rebuilt.
Rabbi Shimon hid for thirteen years—and revealed the Zohar.
Their fire was not about comfort. It was about conviction.

Parshas Acharei Mos & Kedoshim: Holiness Through Habit

This Parsha teaches us that holiness isn’t found in grand gestures. It lives in our daily decisions.

The repetition of Shabbos in these Pesukim isn’t just emphasis.
It’s a message: When we guard Shabbos, we protect our relationship with G-d.

This episode explores how holiness is built through rhythm, how our homes carry atmosphere, and why consistency is the deepest form of faith.
