In the Footsteps of the Tolner Rebbe

Dec 25, 2024

3:52

When a young boy accidentally extinguished the Tolner Rebbe’s menorah, the room went silent. But the Rebbe’s response was unexpected. Instead of scolding, he thanked the boy, turning the moment into a lesson about effort and Hashem’s will. This Chanukah, we learn that the process—our efforts and kindness—matter more than the results.

Matos Masei: Ever-Shifting Puzzle Pieces

Jul 24, 2025

11:17

Parshas Masei reminds us that life’s journey is filled with masos—steps forward, stops, and uncertainty. Like ever-shifting puzzle pieces, we rarely see the full picture, but every move is guided from Above. Through personal stories, the Chasam Sofer’s turning point, and the timeless message of Vayisu Vayachanu, we reflect on what it means to Lechteich Acharai BaMidbar—to follow Hashem through unknowns with trust and courage. This is the heart of Lechteich: moving forward, even when the picture isn’t clear—because the One arranging the pieces sees it all.

Balak: Can’t Rewrite the Script

Jul 10, 2025

Hashem refused to listen—not just to the curse, but even to its words. Parshas Balak reminds us that no matter the intentions or efforts of others, Hashem’s script is unshakable. With a powerful insight from the Chasam Sofer, a moving story of Rav Elimelech and Rav Zusha, and a deeper reflection on Shechinah b’Galusa, we uncover the boundless love and unwavering loyalty that Hashem shows His people—even in the darkest moments.

Chukas: Walk With Me, Not Above Me

Jul 3, 2025

15:36

The mystery of the Parah Adumah teaches that true purity doesn’t come from staying above others, but from being willing to become tamei—stepping into their pain with them. The Baal Shem Tov reveals that growth starts with humility, and healing starts with empathy. A powerful story of the Lubavitcher Rebbe shows how one act of heart can change a life—and that our hearts were placed on the left, not for ourselves, but so we can be closer to someone else’s right side.

Korach: Poolside Prayer

Jun 26, 2025

12:02

A slurpee run turns into a powerful question: Does Hashem care where or how we say Tehillim—or just that we say it? Parshas Korach reveals that it’s not just the mitzvah that counts, but the circumstances, the struggle, and the heart behind it. The blossoming of Aharon’s staff teaches us that Hashem cherishes every step, even before the fruit appears. In a world filled with pain and transition, every honest effort matters more than we think. This week’s episode is sponsored by Bsefer Chayim, לעילוי נשמת מינדל בת ר' משולם זאב. Bsefer Chayim is a life insurance awareness initiative dedicated solely to protecting families — with no profit from any policies. Their mission is to raise awareness and make life insurance accessible to every couple. Did you know a young couple can lock in a term life insurance policy at their chasuna for as little as $25/month — less than a cell phone bill? Visit bseferchayim.org for more information. Do it while you're young — and be forever grateful you did. What better gift for a chosson and kallah than a life insurance policy?

Shelach: Grasshoppers Don’t Win Wars

Jun 19, 2025

15:27

When the Meraglim saw themselves as grasshoppers, they guaranteed defeat. This week’s shiur explores how self-perception shapes our reality—personally and nationally. We’re not small. We’re Hashem’s children, endowed with infinite power to uplift the world. Grasshoppers don’t win wars—but Yidden with clarity do.

Beha'aloscha: One Call, Many Voices

Jun 13, 2025

6:35

Beha’aloscha reminds us that each Jew has a unique path. The trumpets were made only for Moshe—because no two missions are the same. The menorah teaches that every soul is a distinct flame. Our strength lies not in imitation, but in embracing our own role with clarity and courage. In times of threat and confusion, the Torah calls us to cry out, unify, and remember: Hashem fights our battles. One nation. One purpose. Many paths.

Naso: Power Hitter

Jun 5, 2025

12:41

After the spiritual high of Shavuos, we often crash — feeling like we’re back in the grind, disconnected, and far from Har Sinai. But Parshas Sotah reminds us: even when we feel low, we’re never off the team. Even in the eighth spot, we’re power hitters. Hashem treasures the strength it takes to keep fighting — and that fight brings the greatest brachos.

But we don’t back down—we fight with fire, or we douse it with water. This episode is about resilience, perseverance, and holding your ground when everything around you is burning.

Purest of Pure Intentions: Parshas Emor

May 16, 2025

12:25

As we celebrate Lag BaOmer with dancing and flames, Parshas Emor reminds us that true kiddush Hashem means surrendering completely to Hashem’s will—without personal cheshbonos, without expecting outcomes. In a time of pain and uncertainty, especially in Eretz Yisrael, the Rashbi’s legacy and the parshah’s message converge: Real greatness and yeshuah come when we let go of control and live purely for Hashem. That’s the fire that never dies.

May 9, 2025

14:01

A casual lawn chat with a neighbor turns into a powerful mashal about self-worth, spiritual struggle, and how we see others. As we approach Kabbalas HaTorah, we discover the Ohr HaChaim’s life-changing yesod: Even when we feel spiritually barren, Hashem says—Lo siktzor. Don’t cut yourself off. Ever. Keep going… until you reach the greener grass. A heartfelt story of the Vorker Rebbe reminds us: no one is ever too far gone. Not you. Not ever.

Pesach: Strength Over Suffering (Bordeaux)

Apr 17, 2025

50:58

Today is the yahrtzeit of my beloved chavrusa, Yisrael Levin z"l. In his memory, I'm sharing a shiur Stregnth Over Suffering - on overcoming challenges, bitachon, and choosing strength over pain. It's personal, deep, and candid - tied to the journey of Lechteich, which began after the loss of Yisrael z"l, his kallah Elisheva a"h, and my brother Noach Raphael z"l. I encourage you to listen especially if you wonder why this topic belongs on the joyous yom tov of Pesach.

Beshalach: Victory Redefined

Feb 7, 2025

14:50

At a recent parlor meeting for a kollel, Rav Avraham Krohn inspired the audience with a powerful insight from Rav Asher Arielli and Rav Michel Yehuda Lefkowitz. Why was Yehoshua, not Moshe Rabbeinu, chosen to lead the battle against Amalek? The answer reveals a profound truth about Torah and avodas Hashem: True greatness lies not in innate brilliance but in relentless effort. In this episode, we explore the depth of this lesson and its relevance in our own struggles, especially during the days of Shovavim.
