I had kind of a crazy adventure
finding a mikvah to go to before Pesach in the Catskill mountains. Contained is the story, plus an analysis of
one of the most famous verses in the Torah -- love your neighbor like yourself!
Everybody
knows the word Seder in Hebrew means "order". And yet anyone who has participated in one, knows that this most "ordered" process seems
to be riddled with chaos! Drawing from a
new Haggadah from the Lubavitcher
Rebbe zt'l, we look into
the how the Holy Arizal arranged his seder plate and how this holds a key to understanding what
we are trying to accomplish this most special of nights!
The Jewish concept of time is
so deep. In Hebrew the word for year is shana which also means to
repeat. The word for month is chodesh which also means to make new. These two ideas are contradictory. On the one hand, we seem to be stuck in the
repetitive aspect of nature. On the
other hand, there is an aspect of time which promises something completely
new. The Jewish leap year, reconciles
these two competing dynamics. How? Drawing from the teachings of the great Rabbi
Moshe Shapiro, we delve into these questions and more!

What is
the Jewish view of money? In today's
talk we take a look at the prayer we say for our livelihood three times a day
and discover that it doesn't mention money once! What are our holy Sages trying to teach us?
Why
is "belief" so fleeting? This
talk is another in a series of attempts to outline some of the basic principals
of what I've come to call the "Physics of Spirituality". In this talk I look into some of the reasons
why Hashem created the world in a way
that belief must be constantly renewed, and some of the ways that we can be
successful in staying on the right side of things with Hashem's
help!
