Ep. 37 – Being Honest with Yourself
Aug 12, 2025
4:53
Do you dare to face the unvarnished truth about your own motives? Our master, the Ramchal, teaches that the loftiest service begins with middas emes—raw honesty before Hashem and oneself. Yet so often we spin comforting stories—“I’m too tired,” “Everyone else does it,” “It won’t hurt”—just to dodge the sting of guilt. What distortions keep you from seeing your real priorities? When was the last time you confronted your own contradictions instead of brushing them aside? How might embracing brutal self‐truth unlock genuine growth? This episode will guide you to shatter the illusions you cling to, harness Divine aid in your inner battle, and build an avodas Hashem rooted in authenticity rather than self-deception.

Ep. 53 – The Song of Shabbos

27:02
What if the holiest moments are the ones you can’t describe? What if the real entrance to Shabbos isn’t spoken—but sung? The moment Shabbos begins isn’t something you can schedule. It doesn’t arrive when the candles are lit or the seudah is served. It crashes into your world like a wave—silent, sudden, and impossible to prepare for. Rabbi Klapper uncovers why the Torah calls it Mizmor Shir L’yom HaShabbos, beginning with the wordless melody (zimra) before allowing in words (shira). That’s not poetic—it’s halachic reality. The Shechinah enters like the moment of death or the day of judgment: sudden, total, and transformative. No matter how much we prepare, the actual experience of Shabbos is always more than we’re ready for. And yet—we are called to respond. To sing. Not just to float on inspiration, but to translate it into awareness, into action, into change. The song of Shabbos begins where words end, but it cannot stay there. Through rich minhagim, layered metaphors, and the startling honesty of spiritual growth, this episode invites you to enter Shabbos not just as a break from the week—but as a taste of Olam Haba, demanding more from your heart, your voice, and your life.

Have you ever waited for divine rescue without lifting a finger? The Ramchal teaches that while Hashem is our ultimate Helper, He won't save us unless we first open our eyes and take action. It's tempting to blame our struggles on fate or cover our ears and pretend nothing's wrong, but without genuine self-awareness and effort, even miracles remain out of reach. Why do we expect Hashem's support when we won't support ourselves? How can you ignite your own will to change before calling out for aid? This episode will inspire you to begin with honest self-examination—showing you how to "help yourself" by opening your eyes to challenges, awakening your inner resolve, and turning to Hashem with heartfelt tefillah.

Is Shabbos just a day off—or is it a different world? What if the change from weekday to Shabbos isn't just a shift in schedule, but a total shift in identity, in reality, in malchus? In this eye-opening episode, Rabbi Klapper lays the foundation for a deeper understanding of what it means to live under Hashem's kingship. Drawing parallels between how nations function—with flags, language, clothing, and values—and how Shabbos creates a “spiritual country” of its own, we come to see that Shabbos isn’t one mitzvah among many. It’s a world, with its own culture, rhythm, and leadership. Just as the Jewish people have always maintained their uniqueness—through exile, pressure, and even persecution—Shabbos becomes our weekly declaration: we live in the King's palace. The kedusha of Shabbos isn’t just felt inside; it transforms the streets, the meals, the very air of a Jewish home. This episode invites you to see yourself not just as a Jew who keeps Shabbos—but as a citizen of Shabbos. And once you live in that world, everything looks different—even Monday.

When was the last time you paused to ask what will matter when you look back on your life? The Ramchal teaches that true greatness comes from daily cheshbon nefesh—taking stock of our purpose and our performance. Yet we often chase fleeting thrills only to wonder at eighty where the years went. Why do we invest energy in trivial pursuits when our spiritual balance sheet goes unchecked? This episode will guide you through the two-step process of cheshbon nefesh: first, clarifying what really deserves your devotion, and second, honestly assessing whether your daily actions match that vision—so you build a life you'll be proud to remember.

If Hashem is always everywhere, what makes Shabbos different? Why is it that the same actions done on Friday feel mundane, yet on Shabbos they carry such weight, depth, and holiness? In this rich and powerful episode, Rabbi Klapper deepens our understanding of Shabbos by comparing it to the royal palace of a king. Just as entering the king’s inner court demands heightened reverence, precision, and presence, so too does entering into Shabbos. Drawing from Chazal, halacha, and the physical reality of the Beis HaMikdash, we uncover the core idea: Shabbos is the space where Hashem’s malchus is revealed b’gilu. Not just in theory—but in experience. Rabbi Klapper explains how even if we can’t always feel this, we can act our way into awareness. Clothing, behavior, speech—these aren't empty rituals, they're ways to train ourselves to feel the awe of being in Hashem’s presence. Just as the Beis HaMikdash reshaped the people who entered it, Shabbos can reshape us—if we let it. If you’ve ever wondered how to make Shabbos feel holy—not just look holy—this episode gives you the roadmap. It's not about changing Shabbos. It's about letting Shabbos change you.

What if your soul's survival depended on split-second reflexes? The Ramchal teaches that true z'hirus isn't only thinking before you act—it's training your instincts so that when temptation strikes, you respond correctly without hesitation. Just as a commando drills for crisis, we must forge spiritual "muscles" to look away from forbidden scenes and seize fleeting opportunities for mitzvah. How do you reprogram reflexes that betray your higher purpose? This episode will show you how to lay the groundwork today through targeted mental rehearsals and deliberate habit-building, so when the next nisayon arrives, your instinctive response steers you toward holiness.

Ep. 56 – Extreme Sensitivity What if the most dangerous thing about Shabbos isn’t what you do—but what you ignore? How do we train ourselves to treat Shabbos like we're truly standing before the King? In this urgent and emotionally charged episode, Rabbi Klapper explores the concept of poshe'a—spiritual negligence—and why even unintentional mistakes on Shabbos must be taken seriously. From forgotten Eruv Tavshilin to casually fiddling with muxa, he makes the case that small habits reflect deeper attitudes. Shabbos isn’t just a set of rules; it’s standing lifnei haMelech. Just as a soldier in the king’s guard is judged by the shine of his buttons, we too are judged by our awareness, our preparation, and the kavod we bring into Shabbos. Through halachic sources and striking analogies—like a driver who blames his broken glasses for an accident—Rabbi Klapper teaches us that forgetting isn’t innocent when it becomes a lifestyle. This episode invites you to rethink how seriously you take the “small things”—because when the King is present, nothing is small. Whether it’s how you dress, how you speak, or how you act in private, Shabbos demands our full awareness. And with it, the chance to become who we were meant to be.

What truths lie hidden beneath your self-image? The Ramchal teaches that genuine growth begins when we confront our real standing, not our preferred fantasy. It's easy to coast on comfortable illusions—"I'm fine as I am," "It's not my fault"—but those self-deceptions steer us off-course. Why do we cling to excuses instead of embracing the power to change? This episode will guide you through the vital practice of cheshbon nefesh—honest self-audit that roots out hidden flaws, ignites lasting improvement, and truly aligns your path with Hashem's purpose.

Is giving in your marriage a burden or a gift? We explore a profound truth: Marriage isn’t just about sacrificing for your spouse — it’s about investing in yourself. Many people enter marriage thinking love will naturally sustain itself, but Rabbi Klapper reveals why love must be actively nurtured and grown through meaningful acts of giving. He shows how real connection happens when each partner fills in the gaps for the other, not because they have to, but because they choose to. Through Torah insights and timeless wisdom, you’ll learn how to reframe your mindset from “I gave up for my spouse” to “I invested in us.” Discover how showing genuine respect, building your spouse’s self-esteem, and stepping in where they need support transforms a marriage from routine to remarkable. Rabbi Klapper draws a powerful parallel from the story of Michal, the daughter of Shaul, to highlight the impact of feeling valued and supported in a relationship. Ready to see your marriage as your most meaningful investment? This episode will challenge you to invest deeply in your relationship and, in doing so, find the greatest returns — love, connection, and spiritual growth.

If the King were in the room, would you move differently? Speak differently? Touch things more carefully? In this stirring episode, Rabbi Klapper takes us deeper into the reality of Shabbos as a royal encounter. Building on the image of standing lifnei haMelech, we explore why even seemingly minor halachic infractions on Shabbos—like tearing a hangnail or tying a simple knot—are treated with extreme gravity. But the goal isn’t fear—it’s awareness. With vivid mashalim from the Persian court, historical anecdotes, and a moving story about a presidential visit, we learn how kavod (honor) for a human king demands restraint, precision, and presence. So how much more so when we're standing in the home of Hashem? Shabbos isn’t just “a day off.” It’s a kingdom. The palace gates open, and every step we take—from how we dress to how we move our hands—is part of the protocol. The drapes come down, distractions are removed, and we are called to give Hashem our full attention. Because when the King is here, there’s no such thing as “small.” Hosted by Rabbi Ari Klapper and produced by Eli Podcast Productions, this episode is part of the Real Judaism series, available on RealJudaism.org.

Have you ever looked back and realized you've been sleepwalking through your own story? The Gemara in Eruvin delivers a shocking truth: it might have been better never to be born—unless we seize the chance to "check our ways" while we still can. Yet most of us shy away from that mirror, preferring comfortable narratives to hard truths. What hidden detours have you been taking? How different would your choices be if you paused to ask, "Is this the right path for my nefesh?" This episode will guide you through the crucial steps of cheshbon nefesh—defining what deserves your commitment and courageously comparing that to your daily reality.

Ep. 58 – The Essence of Hilchos Shabbos
Sep 18, 2025
29:41
How can we truly stand before the King if we don’t know the King’s protocol? Shabbos is not just another mitzvah—it is an entirely different reality, a world with its own rules. While many mitzvos can be kept by absorbing family tradition and school learning, Hilchos Shabbos demands far more. The details are vast and intricate, stretching from the thirty-nine melachos to countless rabbinic safeguards like muktzah and eruvin. Without careful learning, it is nearly impossible to avoid stumbling. Why is this mitzvah different from all the rest? Because every action on Shabbos is part of standing in Hashem’s presence. Just as the avodah in the Beis HaMikdash required precise adherence to every halachic detail, so too Shabbos requires us to know how to act before the King. Through the story of Reb Yisrael Diskin and the czar, we see how misunderstanding royal protocol can lead to disaster. If this is true of a human ruler, how much more must we prepare ourselves before the Ribono Shel Olam? Shabbos is the weekly moment when the Shechinah enters our lives—“Bo’i kallah, Bo’i kallah.” The halachos are not technical burdens but the dignity of the palace itself, the way we honor Hashem’s presence in every movement and word. The practical takeaway is clear: we must commit to learning Hilchos Shabbos continuously, at whatever level we can—whether through daily study, kitzur sefarim, or deeper halachic works. By doing so, we elevate Shabbos from habit into conscious avodah, transforming our homes into sanctuaries where the King Himself dwells.

Do your mitzvos sometimes feel like empty rituals rather than soul-fueling acts? The Ramchal teaches that performing a mitzvah without genuine kavanah is like drinking from a mirage—on the surface you're "doing" the commandment, but your nefesh remains thirsty. We may rush through Purim l'chayims or recite brachos by rote, yet miss the heart of the avodah. How often do we pause to ask, "Am I fulfilling this mitzvah for its true purpose or just to check a box?" This episode will guide you to excavate the inner life of your mitzvos, transforming duty into delight so each commandment becomes a genuine encounter with Hashem.

If Shabbos is holier than Yom Kippur, why are we told to eat more—not less? This episode opens with that paradox and then walks through the Torah logic behind oneg Shabbos. We explore how Yom Kippur brings holiness into a weekday by stripping away the physical, while Shabbos is entering Hashem’s “palace” itself—where physical delight, done l’shem Shabbos, becomes avodas Hashem. Along the way, we unpack “chetzio laHashem, chetzio lachem” as two sides of one service: your learning and your kugel can both be offerings when aimed at the King. Then we bring it down to the table: how intention flips a meal from autopilot to avodah, how to avoid the trap of gluttony-in-mitzvah’s-clothing, and how classic sources (from the Beis HaMikdash to the Vilna Gaon) frame eating as part of Divine service. Practical takeaway: before the first bite, say out loud “l’kavod Shabbos,” choose one delight you’re adding just for Hashem, and let that kavanah shape the whole suda.

Do you ever clock mitzvos off your list without tasting their sweetness? The Ramchal teaches that beyond performing good deeds, we must "feel" them—examining the quality of our kavanos and the depth of our engagement. It's easy to assume that showing up counts for everything: standing for Shemoneh Esrei, opening a chumash, or raising our cup on Purim. But are we really immersing our hearts in the avodah, or merely going through the motions? This episode will show you simple yet powerful ways to upgrade your service—refining your focus, amplifying your kavanah, and infusing every deed with genuine feeling.

What if the taste of cholent is actually a taste of Olam HaBa? We probe how Shabbos lifts the world above teva so that eating isn’t a detour from kedusha—it’s a doorway into it. Drawing on imagery of “crowns on their heads” and delighting in the Divine, we show why the Shabbos table can turn lives around: zemiros, kavod, and the quiet glow of menucha transform food into closeness. We also clear up confusions—like why “tasting” on Erev Shabbos helps the meal, while “pre-gaming” dulls the soul of Shabbos. On the ground, this means curating your table like a mikdash me’at: order, beauty, and songs that invite the Shechinah. Practical takeaway: add one small, intentional t’anug this week (a better wine, a dish you love, a new nigun) and explicitly dedicate it to Hashem before you enjoy it; you’ll feel the uplift begin before the first spoonful.

Have you ever realized midstream that you're on autopilot? The Ramchal warns that without daily cheshbon nefesh—pausing each day to "wait a second" and audit our deeds—our actions slip into mindless routine. We can repeat good habits until they become hollow, never noticing when we veer off course or settle for mediocrity. How would your day change if you stopped each morning to ask, "What am I doing and why?" This episode will teach you how to carve out consistent "stop and think" breaks, keeping your spiritual trajectory aligned with your highest goals.

If Hashem longs to shower us with endless good, why does life have limits? We open with the father–child mashal: true love sometimes holds back so the child can grow. From there, we uncover the Midah of Emes—Hashem’s deepest ratzon to give boundlessly—and why Shabbos uniquely reveals that Emes by letting shefa flow without harm. That’s the secret of the neshama yeseira: on Shabbos you can “eat and not be sick of it,” because delight aimed at Hashem lifts rather than drags. Brought back to daily life, this reframes the meal: you’re not “treating yourself,” you’re receiving a gift from your Father in Heaven and returning it as love. Practical takeaway: slow your first course, make a beautiful bracha with kavanah, and say a sentence of gratitude—“Ribono Shel Olam, I’m receiving this to come closer to You.” Watch how restraint turns to fullness, and fullness to dveikus.

You’re catering the King’s banquet—so who pays? With a vivid Baron Rothschild mashal, we learn that the Shabbos suda is called by Hashem’s Name and funded by His shefa. Our job is to honor the Palace: abundance with dignity, joy without hefkerus. Then we open the Mishnah Berurah’s guardrails—three teachings that balance “go all out” with “don’t borrow to impress.” Even someone of limited means can add a small delight; someone receiving tzedakah should be given the basics with kavod; and those who can, should elevate their table within their means. Practically, think like a royal caterer: plan a menu “l’kavod Shabbos,” invest a bit extra where it adds true delight, and protect the atmosphere—chinuch, decorum, and serenity matter as much as the roast. The core reflection: it’s His meal, His honor, and—yes—His bill.

מי שולט בחיים שלך: אתה, או חבילת הצ'יפס? בעולם שמעודד סיפוק מיידי, היכולת להגיד "לא" נראית כמו כוח-על נדיר. רבים מאיתנו מרגישים לעיתים קרובות כמו עבדים לדחפים שלנו - בין אם זה הסמארטפון, האוכל או כל פיתוי אחר שקשה לעמוד בפניו. בפרק זה, הרב ארי קלפר חושף ששליטה עצמית אינה רק תכונה רצויה, אלא היא עצם המהות שמבדילה אותנו כבני אדם. הוא מראה כיצד היכולת לדחות סיפוקים למען מטרה גבוהה יותר היא לא ויתור, אלא הדרך היחידה לחירות אמיתית, להצלחה ולמלכות פנימית. באמצעות משל נוקב על חבילת צ'יפס שמכריזה עלינו כעבדיה, ודרך סיפורו של יוסף הצדיק שהפך למלך בזכות שליטתו העצמית, הרב קלפר מפרק את תחושת חוסר האונים. תגלו כיצד התורה אינה מערכת של איסורים, אלא תוכנית אימונים מדויקת לפיתוח "שריר" השליטה העצמית, הכלי החזק ביותר שקיים כדי לבנות חיים של משמעות. הפרק מחבר את החכמה העתיקה הזו להתמכרות המודרנית לטכנולוגיה ומספק פרספקטיבה מעצימה להתמודדות. בסיום הפרק, תבינו שהכוח לשלוט בחייכם כבר נמצא בידיכם. תפסיקו להיות עבדים ותתחילו להיות מלכים על ממלכת נפשכם. אתם מצוידים ביכולת לבחור, להגיד "לא" לתאוות הרגעיות, ולהגיד "כן" לחיים שאתם באמת רוצים לחיות. מוכנים לקחת את השליטה בחזרה? בהנחיית הרב ארי קלפר ובהפקת אלי פודקאסט הפקות, פרק זה הוא חלק מסדרת "יהדות אמיתית", הזמינה ב-RealJudaism.org. אל תשכחו להירשם ולשתף כדי להישאר מחוברים לשיעורים היומיים ולתובנות התורה הנצחיות שלנו.

Ep. 63 – Mesiras Nefesh — True Love
Ep. 63 – Mesiras Nefesh — True Love
Oct 23, 2025
34:14
How can giving up become the deepest way to receive? We begin with the Midrash of Moshe’s neshama and the “kiss” of death—nishikas peh—revealing mesiras nefesh as a mutual act of love, not coercion. Only Am Yisrael, bound by a bris of ahavah, are commanded to sanctify Hashem’s Name this way. Then we link that love to Shabbos Mincha—“va’al menuchasam yakdishu es Shimecha”—and the Arizal’s guidance to hold kavanah of mesiras nefesh at that moment. Shabbos is where the bond is clearest; love unlocks the will to give everything back to the One Who gave us ourselves. Brought down to earth, this isn’t abstract heroism. It’s the quiet choice to yield—your schedule, your phone, your pride—because you love Hashem. Practical takeaway: at Mincha, whisper, “Ribono Shel Olam, I’m Yours,” and choose one small act of mesiras nefesh this Shabbos (a word held back, a mitzvah done first, a distraction put away) as your kiss of closeness.

Have you ever been blinded by your own goodwill or dazzled by the world's bright distractions? Chazal warn us that life's darkness either hides pitfalls altogether or twists what we see into dangerous mirages. The Ramchal reveals how too much chesed without din can warp our priorities and lead us astray. Why do acts of kindness sometimes become license for excess? How can a glimmer of pleasure masquerade as genuine joy? This episode will illuminate the twin perils of hidden and distorted darkness—teaching you how to balance compassion with discernment and develop the spiritual eyesight needed to navigate life's shadows.

What does real mesiras nefesh look like when no one’s watching? This episode explores the quiet tests that define true Shabbos devotion—not martyrdom under persecution, but the split-second choices in embarrassment, comfort, or convenience. From the Chazon Ish’s story of the man who added oil to his lamp out of shame before an honored guest, we see how the Yeitzer Hara disguises pressure as logic. Rabbi Klapper unpacks how each of us still faces these “micro-tests” every week: the temptation to adjust, excuse, or bend halachah just a little “for peace,” or to protect pride. Through vivid stories—from Soviet Jews risking death to keep Shabbos, to families sitting calmly in the dark after a power outage—he shows that our generation’s mesiras nefesh lies not in dying for Shabbos, but in living for it with patience, dignity, and restraint. Every uncomfortable decision becomes a small act of loyalty in the covenant of love between Hashem and His people. The takeaway: treat every moment of hesitation as sacred training, a chance to say quietly, “I’ll give this up for You.” Hosted by Rabbi Ari Klapper and produced by Eli Podcast Productions, this episode is part of the Real Judaism series, available on RealJudaism.org.

When have you justified the unjustifiable with a clever argument? The Ramchal warns that the yetzer hara wields a twisted logic—making evil deeds appear noble and noble deeds look oppressive—by distorting the little light we have in this dark world. Just as we see moral clarity warped into license for cruelty today, from condoning violence to excusing every personal indulgence, the darkness makes good look bad and bad look good. How does twisted reasoning blind us to truth? This episode will expose the subtle fallacies that barrage our hearts and equip you to recognize—and reject—the perverse proofs that mask evil as good.

How can we train our instincts to choose holiness under pressure? Building on the previous discussion, Rabbi Klapper shows that the tests of Shabbos aren’t only about rules—they’re about reflexes. When the unexpected happens—a light left on, a guest arriving, a fire that cannot be put out—the Yeitzer Hara argues for “just this once.” The Ramban, Chazon Ish, and classic mussar sefarim reveal that real strength is built before the test ever comes. Like a soldier or surgeon, a Jew must condition his spiritual reflexes so that respect for Shabbos becomes second nature. Mesiras nefesh isn’t always heroic loss; sometimes it’s sitting calmly while the food burns rather than breaking halachah, or letting pride go instead of defending yourself in anger. Shabbos trains us in surrender—letting go of control so Hashem can rule. Each moment of self-discipline writes the next link in the unbroken chain of Shabbos-keepers stretching back to our ancestors who gave up everything for it. The practical reflection: prepare your heart before Shabbos; make loyalty your instinct. That quiet readiness is the essence of mesiras nefesh.

What happens when people bring "proofs" for the most twisted behaviors? The Ramchal teaches that in our dark world, the yetzer hara's power to corrupt logic runs so deep that people will passionately defend the indefensible. We see this tragically today—supporters of mass murderers convinced they're championing justice, individuals justifying destructive habits as beneficial. Why do seemingly rational people embrace such warped reasoning? How can we protect ourselves from similar self-deception? This episode will reveal how to anchor yourself in Torah truth and resist the corrupted logic that makes cruelty appear compassionate.

What truly happens the instant Shabbos enters the world? Rabbi Klapper opens a new section of the sefer to uncover the mystical structure of Shabbos time. Friday night isn’t merely “the beginning of rest”—it’s a spiritual shockwave, a sudden leap from Olam HaZeh to Olam HaBa. Through Rabbi Pinkus’s Kabbalistic lens, we discover how Hashem’s Shechinah literally “enters” creation at candle-lighting, turning every home into a miniature Beis HaMikdash. Each meal and tefillah represents a rising level of kedushah, from Leil Shabbos through Shacharis to Mincha. The field of “holy apples”—Chekal Tapuchin Kadishin—becomes the symbol of this moment: the world itself becomes fertile ground where physical acts—eating, singing, resting—blossom into emunah and deveikus. Practical takeaway: treat candle-lighting as crossing a border. Pause, breathe, and feel the shift. You’ve stepped into Olam HaBa, where everything, even a bite of challah, can shine with light from above.

What would it feel like to see Hashem with absolute clarity — not just believe, but know? Rabbi Klapper reveals that Shabbos isn’t a day of rest from confusion; it’s a day when confusion itself disappears. The Torah hints to this when it never says “and it was evening and it was morning” for the seventh day — because Shabbos has no darkness. It’s pure light. On this day, we don’t testify that Hashem exists based on proofs or philosophy; we bear witness because we see Him. Just as Moshe Rabbeinu’s prophecy came through a crystal-clear window, Shabbos grants us a taste of that same vision. Yet even within that light there are levels. Friday night is the kiddushin — a first meeting, where we know He is near. Shabbos morning is nesuin, the unveiling of the kallah’s face — joy, unity, and direct connection. By Musaf we reach yichud, the oneness of Atah Echad. The practical call is simple but revolutionary: treat Shabbos morning not as another tefillah, but as a personal Sinai — a time to see, not just believe.

If faith is logical, why does Hashem still ask for emunah peshutah — simple faith? This episode dismantles the modern obsession with proofs. Rabbi Klapper shows, through vivid mashalim, that the simplest truths need no defense. When you see writing in the sand, you know there was a writer. So too, when we look at the universe — its structure, its precision, its beauty — only arrogance makes us imagine accident. Hashem built the world with such clarity that only darkness of heart can hide Him. But Shabbos restores sight. When the week blinds us with “maybes” and endless questioning, Shabbos opens our eyes to what’s obvious: there is a Borei Olam. The task isn’t to prove, but to see. The takeaway: let Shabbos be your reset button from doubt — spend one moment this week simply looking at the world and saying, “Of course You’re here.” Hosted by Rabbi Ari Klapper and produced by Eli Podcast Productions, this episode is part of the Real Judaism series, available on RealJudaism.org.
