Eikev: Faith Through the Flames

Aug 14, 2025

11:39

When Chana lost everything in Auschwitz, she thought her suffering had reached its limit. But years later, standing before the smoldering ruins of her home, she faced a choice that would alter her life—and the lives of generations to come. In this week’s parsha, Moshe Rabbeinu reminds us, “מה ה׳ אלקיך שואל מעמך כי אם ליראה”—to anchor ourselves to Hashem, the Kol Yachol. In our own moments of loss, uncertainty, and fear, that same anchor can carry us through the fire. Chana’s decision to accept her pain with love became the bridge from devastation to renewal, unlocking a miracle no doctor believed possible.

Re'eh: Never Fall Apart — Always His Children

Aug 21, 2025

12:39

Even when we feel behind, lost, or disconnected, Hashem never abandons us. This week, we explore the timeless message of בנים אתם לה' אלוקיכם—that we are always His children, always supported, and always capable of renewal. Drawing from Ibn Ezra and the Slonimer, we uncover how even moments of despair are invitations to connect, grow, and embrace our divine inheritance. A call to strengthen our emunah and approach this Elul with courage, clarity, and heartfelt teshuva.

Shoftim: No Substitutes – Just the Instructions

Aug 28, 2025

12:17

A crowded hotel lobby. Families rushing in. Frustrated voices—“Didn’t Tati pay enough for this?” And then the realization: no matter how much you pay, there are rules. First come, first served. That moment became a piercing Elul reminder: no shortcuts, no substitutes—just the instructions. With the Kedushas Levi’s reading of “lo sakim lecha matzeivah” and the Dubno Maggid’s mashal of glittering fakes, this shiur exposes the glittering illusions of the Yetzer Hara and the only strategy that truly secures us for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. For only $1 a week, you can sponsor a day of the Elul Mussar shiur—uplifting thousands worldwide. It’s simple, it’s easy, and the zechus is yours. A true no-brainer. https://www.lechteich.org/#/portal/signup/678f020a1e7c8b00083c17f9/monthly

Ki Seitzei: Fencing In the Mindstorm

Sep 4, 2025

19:34

In this week’s parsha, Ki Seitzei, a mitzvah about putting a fence on a roof seems straightforward — until Chazal pull back the curtain. Suddenly it’s not about construction at all, but about the dangerous thoughts that can knock us down before we even realize it. As Elul winds down and Rosh Hashanah approaches, this shiur explores the battle inside our minds — the yetzer hara’s quiet whispers, the urge to overthink, the plans that collapse before they’re even built. Through a powerful mashal of a man and his basket of eggs, we uncover how to build real fences around our thoughts, and how to find the strength to take life one step at a time.

Ki Savo: Question #1

Sep 11, 2025

16:15

Elul is slipping away, and the Chafetz Chaim’s words still ring in our ears: What will you answer on the Day of Judgment? In this shiur we hear the chilling story of a frail tzaddik, a pinch of snuff, and the question that shakes us to our core—are we using this world to gather eternity, or are we wasting our lives on trivialities? As Rosh Hashanah approaches, every choice matters.

Rosh Hashana: Divine Upgrade from Basic Economy

Sep 19, 2025

6:32

Two months ago, I made what felt like a simple, proactive move—booking a flight for Sukkos. Everything seemed perfect… until I realized I’d made a huge mistake. Non-refundable tickets, the wrong date, no easy way out. I called rep after rep, hit wall after wall, and felt completely stuck. But then something unexpected happened—a reminder that sometimes, the One in control isn’t on the other end of the phone. This episode is about frustration, faith, and the surprising way everything can shift when you put it in the right hands.

436

Rosh Hashana: Our Rich Uncle

Sep 19, 2025

5:25

This past Shabbos, I ran into an old friend who asked me: “What’s your 30-second pitch for Rosh Hashanah?” What could I possibly say in half a minute about the greatest day of the year? Then I remembered a story I’d heard back in yeshiva—about a man who inherited a fortune but had to go on a long, difficult journey to claim it. The lesson? We all have a wealthy relative—HaKadosh Baruch Hu—who left us the ultimate inheritance, filled with blessings, wisdom, and life-changing opportunities. This episode dives into how we can “claim” it, approaching Hashem not just as King, but as our loving, generous uncle, eager to give us everything we need for a truly meaningful life.

437

Yom Kippur: It's All a Gumball

Sep 28, 2025

5:16

As Yom Kippur draws near, we’re reminded that tefillah is everything—our lifeline, our future, our ultimate connection to Hashem. But what happens when the tefillah feels too small for the enormity of what we’re asking? In this week’s episode, I share a powerful true story that began with a silent baby, a father’s desperate plea, and a seemingly simple kabbalah. The outcome was nothing short of miraculous. This is a story that will make you stop, hold your breath, and realize just how much our tefillos can move Heaven.

438

Yom Kippur: When Small is Greater than Big

Sep 29, 2025

3:32

Just before Selichos, a fellow sighed, “This year, I’m not asking small. I’m going big.” His words caught me off guard, and when he asked why I looked uneasy, I shared something my Rebbe once told me in Yerushalayim—a perspective that completely changed how I think about tefillah. In this episode, we reflect on what it really means to daven on Yom Kippur. Do we come with long lists and big requests, or is there something deeper in simply asking Hashem to give us from His goodness—trusting that He knows best? Sometimes the smallest tefillah can open the door to the greatest blessing.

439

Sukkos: Lechteich B'Succah

Oct 13, 2025

9:50

This week’s episode begins with a question — one of the most famous Chumash kashas of all. If the sukkah reminds us of the Clouds of Glory that surrounded Klal Yisroel when they left Mitzrayim, shouldn’t we be sitting in the sukkah in Nissan, not Tishrei? But as the Tur and later Reb Yerucham Olshan reveal, the answer opens a doorway to something much deeper — a truth about what it means to be bodod, to be alone with Hashem, and why davka in the quiet, when the rest of the world goes inside, we step outside. In this powerful Yom Tov message, we uncover the secret of the sukkah — not just as a public statement of faith, but as a private journey of the soul. What does it mean to sit under the schach, to relive the footsteps of our ancestors, to feel Hashem’s embrace in the simplicity of a shaky hut? It’s a moment of stillness. Of faith. Of connection. Step outside the noise — and listen in.

Hoshana Rabba: A Promise from Eliyahu Hanavi

Oct 13, 2025

5:36

This week’s episode begins in the Mall of America — the largest mall in the United States — where the laughter was loud, the lights were blinding, and the rides were spinning. Families filled the Nickelodeon Universe, enjoying Chol Hamoed the way only a Jewish crowd can. And then, in the middle of it all, someone pointed — “Look! It’s the Queen Rider!” Cameras flashing. People cheering. A local celebrity, famous for… what exactly? Riding a rollercoaster. Over and over. Until nausea became an achievement. But as the world celebrates its “heroes,” a question rises above the noise: What does it mean to be a true hero? Because on Hoshana Rabbah, Shemini Atzeres, and Simchas Torah, Eliyahu HaNavi himself reveals a secret — a promise — about those who daven with heart, who connect with Hashem in these final days of Yom Tov. In this gripping and soul-stirring episode, we contrast the emptiness of worldly fame with the eternal power of spiritual connection — and discover how, in these three days, we can become something far greater than a “Queen Rider.”

441

Noach: Stay in Your Waters

Oct 25, 2025

12:10

The floodwaters are rising again—not in the world, but in our lives. As the inspiration of Yomim Noraim fades, how do we hold on to what we became? Why did the fish survive the Mabul when everything else was destroyed? A powerful story and a deeper look beneath the surface reveal a simple truth: sometimes the only way to stay pure… is to stay apart.

442

Lech Lecha: Turkey in a Chicken Coop

Oct 31, 2025

13:25

One man. One dream. And a world that told him he was out of his mind. This week, we dive into the gripping story of Rav Meir Shapiro — the visionary behind Daf Yomi and the force who built Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin against all odds. Mocked, doubted, and challenged at every step, he refused to shrink his ambition. Instead, he made noise — the kind that changed history. His legacy pushes us to take our own purpose seriously, even when the path isn’t easy.

Vayera: Temptation Island and the Untouched Soul

Nov 6, 2025

17:25

The Yomim Tovim glow has faded — and real life hits hard. Frustration, confusion, and challenges we thought we left behind come rushing back. In this week’s episode, a “mistake” triggers a wave of emotion… but turns into a powerful reminder that nothing is random. From political chaos to a gripping true story of an orphaned prince, we uncover what it means to stay focused on who we are — children of the King — even when distractions surround us.

Shmuz at Bais Shabsi: When Heaven Revived the Sprinklers

Nov 9, 2025

12:28

A broken sprinkler isn’t exactly a crisis… unless you’re five years old. But in that moment — tears, frustration, and all — a simple question emerged: “Don’t we believe Hashem can do anything?” What followed in that park was more than a repair. It was a reminder — straight from a child’s heart — of what pure emunah looks like. In this episode, we connect that small miracle to Sarah Imeinu’s laughter, the Chafetz Chaim’s timeless insight, and the message so many of us need right now: When we ask sincerely — even for the “small” things — Hashem listens.

Chayei Sarah: Trader Joe’s and the Wink from Above

Nov 13, 2025

13:52

This week’s Lechteich's shiur hits deep — that quiet struggle of winter, when the inspiration of the Yamim Noraim has faded and real life takes over. How do we hold on when there’s no yom tov in sight, no external chizuk, just the daily grind of being a Yid? With stories of the Sanzer Rav, the mission of Eliezer, and a surprising lesson from a loaf of Trader Joe’s sourdough, this episode explores what it really means to want to grow — and how Hashem meets us halfway. Because sometimes, the smallest step toward taharah, the quietest “I want to,” can summon a malach to walk beside you.

Toldos: Sensitivity Saves Lives

Nov 20, 2025

15:41

In this Lechteich episode, Parshas Toldos erupts with unexpected drama. A single cry from Eisav — raw, bitter, explosive — unleashes a chain reaction that nearly seals Klal Yisrael’s fate centuries later. How could one moment carry such devastating force? And what hidden truth about sensitivity and responsibility lies beneath it? Through a powerful blend of Torah insight and a real-life story of courage and compassion, this episode uncovers the quiet strength of noticing another Yid — and the danger of failing to.
