How did Rebbetzin Sara Murik – the beloved, larger-than-life “Morah Murik” – live a life of such vast accomplishment and overflowing love? How did she care for thousands – and for every individual Jew? How did a little Yerushalmi girl become one of America’s most renowned Bais Yaakov educators? Proudly wearing her school uniform, like every other Bais Yaakov girl under her care, Morah Murik rarely walked. “Our Morah in Uniform” raced and danced and sang through the corridors of the schools she founded, first in Chicago and later in Lakewood. For Morah Murik, no task was too small: Though principal of the school, she would wash the floors in the absence of the janitor. And no challenge was too large – not even the daunting task of founding a brand new school at the age of 70. In this Inside ArtScroll episode, two of her grandsons, Rabbi Shragy Zeldes and Rabbi Shragi Malinowitz, share memories of their grandmother, describing her overflowing love for people and her joy and creativity as an educator. Morah Murik’s impact continues to be felt through a new absorbing, engaging ArtScroll biography, aptly titled Our Morah in Uniform, still teaching us to feel the strength of Hashem’s love for us, and helping us return that love to Him and to His children.  

In this inspiring episode of Inside ArtScroll, Rabbi Shlomo Landau sits down with Dov Weller to discuss The Rav Meir Shapiro and Chachmei Lublin Haggadah, a work that brings the spirit of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin to the Seder table.  Drawing on the Torah of Rav Meir Shapiro — founder of Daf Yomi and visionary builder of the famed yeshivah — together with the teachings of its roshei yeshivah, mashgichim, and talmidim, he presents Yetzias Mitzrayim as a living journey of emunah, bitachon, growth, and redemption, and shows how the legacy of these gedolim continues to illuminate our understanding of freedom and avodas Hashem. In their conversation, Dov Weller reflects on the personal journey behind the Haggadah’s creation and how immersing himself in the divrei Torah and stories of Chachmei Lublin deepened his own experience of the Seder.  Together, he and Rabbi Landau explore meaningful passages and themes, highlighting practical insights that can spark discussion and strengthen emunah at the Seder table. Thoughtful questions and heartfelt anecdotes give listeners a vivid sense of connection — not only to the text, but to the enduring voice and light of Chachmei Lublin. 📖 Order your copy today at ArtScroll.com: https://www.artscroll.com/Books/HMSH.html #artscroll #newbook #newrelease #newbooks #inspiration

Bitachon. How to get it. How to strengthen it. How to learn to rely on Hashem. In every part of our lives. Bitachon – knowing that you can fully rely on Hashem, and only on Hashem – is an essential part of our Chovos HaLevavos, our “service of the heart.” It is the wondrous gift that enables us to enjoy the blessing of “menuchas hanefesh” – a hard-to-define concept that includes serenity, tranquility, and peace of mind. In his newest book, A Daily Dose of Bitachon, Rabbi David Sutton, author of many important works including Beis HaLevi on Bitachon and Embrace Shabbos, shares with us more than 130 readings, designed for the consistent daily use that enables truly effective change. Drawn from the classic wisdom of the Chovos HaLevavos Shaar HaBitachon, these insights into this “service of the heart” are remarkably contemporary, speaking to our own challenges. Each reading ends with a practical takeaway, ensuring that we incorporate bitachon into our everyday encounters. And of course, Rabbi Sutton shares stories that show us the amazing power of bitachon.   In this Inside ArtScroll episode, Rabbi Sutton discusses the new book, including how to reframe our thoughts, how to properly balance human effort with bitachon in Hashem, and how to strengthen our connection to Hashem both in good times and hard ones.
