An unbelievable heist just took place at the world-famous Louvre Museum — but beneath the headlines lies a powerful Torah lesson. In Parshas Noach, Chazal reveal that the final decree of the Flood came not because of idolatry or immorality, but because of theft. In this episode, we reveal the far greater thievery than even the $102 million worth of jewels stolen from the Louvre. We NEED the lesson of Noach more than ever today! #ParshasNoach #LouvreHeist #TorahInsights #JewishPodcast #WeeklyParsha #TorahThoughts #PowerOfWords #JewishWisdom #SpiritualGrowth #Noach #ModernMussar #FaithAndCurrentEvents #TorahPerspective

When Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica, it reminded me of something deeper — the power of a name. Why do we name hurricanes, storms, and even inanimate things? And what does that teach us about our own names, our essence, and our purpose?In this episode, we explore the storm outside — and the storm within — through the lens of Torah. Drawing from Parshas Lech Lecha and the actions of Malki Tzedek, we uncover a timeless message: to live up to our names, our titles, and our true potential.#HurricaneMelissa #LechLecha #TorahInsights #JewishWisdom #PowerOfNames #MalkiTzedek #JewishInspiration #Identity #SpiritualGrowth #JewishPodcast #TorahThoughts #PersonalGrowth #Faith #JewishLearning #RabbiOriStrumSubscribe for more content!!!#Rabbi #LearnTorah #TorahStudy #Judaism #Jewish #Torah #Chumash #Parasha #Parsha #Parashat #Gemara #Mussar #Tefilla #Prayer

The Rotten but Smiling Sweet Potato | The Importance of a Happy Face
The Rotten but Smiling Sweet Potato | The Importance of a Happy Face
Nov 5, 2025
24:26
A friend sent me a photo of a sweet potato — but not just any sweet potato. When it was cut open, the inside was completely rotten… except for one thing: the moldy core formed a perfect smiling face.In this shiur/class/episode, we explore what this means — scientifically, psychologically, and spiritually. From the phenomenon of facial pareidolia (seeing faces in random objects) to the Torah’s deep insight into Panim (face) and Pnim (inner self), we uncover a powerful lesson about joy, perception, and the soul.Drawing from Avraham Avinu’s sever panim yafos, we discuss the true power of a smile — how it can spread like fire, light up another person’s world, and even ignite happiness within ourselves. Because our face isn’t just ours — it’s reshus harabim, a public space that can change someone’s day… or their life.🔥 A smile, like a flame, can go on forever.Even if you feel “rotten” inside, keep smiling — you never know who’s being uplifted by your light.This shiur has been generously sponsored by Chesky Lewin as a zechus refua sheleima for all those in need and by Dovi Censor as a zechus refua hleima for Nava bas Chaya Rivka.

Stop Chasing Greatness—You Already Have It | The Stonecutter & Yaakov’s Stones (Parshas Vayeitzei)
Nov 26, 2025
14:24
In this week’s shiur on Parshas Vayeitzei, we explore the mysterious episode of the twelve stones under Yaakov Avinu’s head—each one declaring, “עָלַי יָנִיחַ צַדִּיק את רֹאשׁוֹ” (“Let the tzaddik rest his head on me!”). What does this teach you about your own spiritual identity? We also dive into the classic parable of the stonecutter who wanted to become everything—a merchant, a king, the sun, the wind—only to end up again as a stonecutter and realize the strength he had all along. Together, these two stories reveal a powerful message: 👉 You don’t need to become someone else to be great. 👉 You already have the ability to carry kedusha. 👉 You can choose to say, “Let holiness rest on me.” This shiur will uplift your confidence, deepen your Jewish pride, and remind you of the incredible spiritual potential within every Jew.

Gid HaNasheh & Achdus – Why Jewish Unity Is Our Greatest Strength | Deep Torah Insight
Dec 3, 2025
20:29
In this powerful and eye-opening Torah shiur, we uncover the deeper meaning behind the Isur of Gid HaNasheh (the sciatic nerve) and its profound connection to Achdus — Jewish unity.Why was Gid HaNasheh chosen as the very first negative commandment given to Klal Yisrael? How does a mitzvah of not eating create one of the strongest forces of unity among the Jewish people? And what timeless message does this mitzvah carry for our generation?✨ In this shiur, we explore:How not eating the Gid HaNasheh unifies all Jews simultaneouslyThe powerful insight of the Sefer HaChinuch — the nations may hurt us, but they can never destroy usThe deeper meaning behind the words “Gid HaNasheh” — hinting to forgetting achdusWhy the Torah is teaching us that it is forbidden to forget unityThe Ohr HaChaim’s insight that the sciatic nerve has no flavor — symbolizing that every Jew brings their own unique “flavor” to the nationA relatable and humorous insight about Jewish cookbooks and why they always seem to sell best 😄How our differences are not a weakness — they are our strengthWhy true unity doesn’t mean sameness, but rather harmony of unique colors, talents, and soulsThis shiur is a call to recognize that Achdus is not optional — it is essential for the survival, strength, and destiny of Klal Yisrael. The more we respect each other’s differences and come together as one, the greater we become.❤️ DEDICATION / SPONSORSHIPThis shiur has been generously sponsored by R’ Eli Metz as aZechus for Hatzlacha Rabba for Eliyahu Abba ben Rachel, and for a Shidduch for Nechama Bracha bas Leah Yehudis.May this Torah bring bracha, yeshuah, and great siyata d’shmaya.🎧 If this message inspired you, please LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE to spread achdus and Torah to even more people.#GidHaNasheh#Achdus#JewishUnity#Parsha#TorahInsights#KlalYisrael#JewishInspiration#TorahShiur#SeferHaChinuch#OhrHaChaim#JewishStrength#Emunah#Shidduch#Zechus#TorahThoughts

NEVER GIVE UP HOPE — The Power of Yearning | Parshas Vayeshev & Chanukah Inspiration (Parsha Preview Shiur)
Dec 11, 2025
33:23
In this week’s shiur, we explore one of the most electrifying themes in Torah: the power of yearning. From Yaakov Avinu’s inability to be comforted over Yosef, to Rebbe Nachman’s legendary teaching of “Never give up hope,” we uncover the spiritual DNA inside every Jew — the part of us that’s still a na’ar, still searching, still asking, still alive. Yosef HaTzaddik is called a “na’ar” because he tapped into that inner childlike curiosity — the part of us that refuses to settle, that refuses to stop seeking Hashem. Deep down, Yaakov knew Yosef was alive, because deep down we all know: 🕯️ There is a spark inside us that never dies. 🕯️ A voice inside whispering, “Keep going… keep searching.” We dive into mind-blowing gematrios, a powerful vortex of Chanukah wisdom, and the Bas Ayin’s teaching that Chanukah / Chinuch means we are always beginning again. Every day is a fresh start. Most people ask: “So… what do you do?” But the Torah teaches us to ask a different question: “Mah Tevakesh?” — What are you searching for? Because those who search, says Dovid HaMelech, are the ones who taste true joy:“Yismach lev mevakshei Hashem.” You can know everything about Chanukah… and still ask: “What is Chanukah?” That is the beauty of a Yid who keeps seeking. If this shiur speaks to you, share it with someone who needs chizuk, hope, or a reminder that their spark is still burning. 📘 Grab My New Chanukah Book – Dove Tales A perfect gift, full of uplifting stories and meaning for the chag. 👉 Buy it here: https://a.co/d/aTVRSWl ⏳ If you’re a seeker… this shiur is for you. Let your heart open. Let the spark awaken. And never stop searching. #Chanukah #Vayeshev #Emunah #NeverGiveUp #RebbeNachman #TorahShiur #JewishInspiration #Chizuk #Hope #YosefHaTzaddik #MahTevakesh #BasAyin #SpiritualGrowth #JewishLearning #Judaism #JewishLife #LightOverDarkness #Miracles #DoveTales #ChanukahGifts

Why We Light Chanukah Candles in Shul — But Still Must Light at Home
Why We Light Chanukah Candles in Shul — But Still Must Light at Home

Why do we light Chanukah candles in shul—if no one fulfills their obligation with that lighting?A sincere question asked between Mincha and Maariv (from a Yid wearing a Chanukah kippah—so of course it had to be taken seriously 😉) opens the door to a powerful exploration of one of Chanukah’s fascinating halachos.In this 13-minute Torah class, we walk through the classic sources in Shulchan Aruch, Rema, and Mishnah Berurah, explaining why there is a minhag to light in shul for pirsumei nisa.But then we go deeper.Through a penetrating insight al derech penimiyus, and a striking passage from Rav Samson Raphael Hirsch, written during the rise of the Enlightenment, we uncover the essence of Chanukah itself: the light of Torah cannot remain confined to the beis knesses—it must be carried into our homes, our tables, and our everyday lives.Chanukah is not just about inspiration.It’s about transformation.“Shivti b’veis Hashem kol yemei…” — not only in shul, but all my days, wherever I am.This shiur is for anyone seeking to understand how the neiros of Chanukah are meant to illuminate far beyond the menorah.📘 Grab My Chanukah Book – Dove Tales, A perfect gift, full of uplifting stories and meaning for the chag.👉 Buy it here: https://a.co/d/aTVRSWlSubscribe and hit the bell to see new videos!!!#Chanukah #ChanukahLight #Torah #JewishThought #Halacha #ChanukahMessage #PirsumeiNisa #TorahClass #JewishInspiration #BringingItHome #ShulchanAruch #MishnahBerurah #RavHirsch #Penimiyus #TorahAnytime #Rabbi #LearnTorah #TorahStudy #Judaism #Jewish #Torah #Chumash #Parasha #Parsha #Parashat #Gemara #Mussar #Tefilla #Prayer

In response to the Bondi Beach massacre, I chose to respond not with fear—but with light.I put up a menorah on my car (and no, I’m not Chabad) as a public declaration of Jewish pride. Not to provoke. Not to argue. But to say something simple and eternal:When darkness rises, we do not shrink.We increase light.This is the deeper message of Chanukah:מוֹסִיף וְהוֹלֵךְ — Mosif v’holich.Each night, we don’t just keep the flame alive—we add to it.The Greeks tried to extinguish Jewish light.Our enemies today try the same—through violence, intimidation, and fear.But Judaism’s answer has never been to hide.Our answer is to shine brighter.This message is for every Jew who feels shaken, unsure, or tempted to dim their identity:Now is not the time to step back.Now is the time to step forward.📣 Be proud to be Jewish.🕯️ Increase your light.✡️ Don’t let darkness set the tone.If this message resonates with you, please like, share, and comment—so this light reaches further.📘 Grab My Chanukah Book – Dove TalesA perfect gift, full of uplifting stories and meaning for the chag.👉 Buy it here: https://a.co/d/aTVRSWlSubscribe and hit the bell to see new videos!!!#IncreaseYourLight #MosifVHolich #JewishPride #ChanukahMessage #NeverAgainIsNow #bondibeach #AmYisraelChai #ProudToBeJewish #JewishStrength #RespondWithLight #FaithOverFear #JewishUnity #LightOverDarkness #StandProud #JewishIdentity #Rabbi #LearnTorah #TorahStudy #Judaism #Jewish #Torah #Chumash #Parasha #Parsha #Parashat #Gemara #Mussar #Tefilla #Prayer

Shimon Kippah (St. Peter) and the Jewish Idea of No Mediators | Parshas Vayigash
Dec 25, 2025
28:58
In this Parshas Vayigash Parsha Prevew shiur, we explore one of the most fundamental ideas in Judaism: our direct relationship with Hashem — without intermediaries, mediators, or go-betweens. The Torah opens Vayigash with the words “Vayigash eilav Yehuda” — Yehuda approaches Yosef directly. Drawing on a powerful teaching from the Kedushas Levi, we learn that when something truly matters, you don’t speak through a translator. You go face to face. Judaism teaches that every Jew can approach Hashem directly. He is our Father, and prayer, teshuvah, and connection require no mediator. From there, we explore a fascinating and lesser-known chapter of history:The mysterious legend of Shimon Kippah (also known as St. Peter)Jewish sources that suggest he may have played a role in separating early Christianity from JudaismCensored passages of the Talmud that discuss Yeshu HaNotzriHow Christianity adopted elements from pagan culture, including the origins of December 25th This shiur is about understanding Jewish belief, Jewish history, and what makes our relationship with Hashem uniquely direct and personal. 📖 “There is no mediator between a child and their Father.” #ParshasVayigash #Judaism #Torah #JewishPhilosophy #NoMediators #ShimonKippah #JewishThought #Yeshu

Asara B’Teves & Reb Nosson: The Beginning of Churban vs. the Beginning of Geulah
Asara B’Teves & Reb Nosson: The Beginning of Churban vs. the Beginning of Geulah
Dec 30, 2025
16:06
Asara B’Teves marks the day Nevuchadnezar, King of Bavel, laid siege to Yerushalayim — the beginning of the Churban. But on this very same day is the yahrtzeit of Reb Nosson of Breslov (December 20, 1844), the primary talmid of Rebbe Nachman, the one who revealed and transmitted Rebbe Nachman’s redemptive Torah to the world. This is no coincidence. In this shiur, we explore the deep contrast and connection between the beginning of destruction and the beginning of geulah. Rebbe Nachman taught that his Torah is the “beginning of redemption,” and Reb Nosson embodied that message—especially on a day that represents siege, darkness, and concealment. We examine how the siege of Bavel continues today—not only through the outside world of sheker, confusion, and distraction, but through the inner siege of the yetzer hara, which tries to define us by externals, past failures, and despair. Through Breslov teachings, we uncover the nekuda tova—the inner point within every Jew that is untouchable by sin, untouched by exile, and always connected to Hashem. Asara B’Teves is not only about mourning the past—it’s about discovering where redemption truly begins. #AsaraBTeves #Breslov #RebbeNachman #RebNosson #Geulah #Churban #JewishTorah #InnerAvodah #NekudaTova #YetzerHara #Emunah #Redemption #TorahThoughts

A New Year’s Message from the Apter Rav and The Problem with “Dropping the Ball”
A New Year’s Message from the Apter Rav and The Problem with “Dropping the Ball”
Jan 1, 2026

Since 1908, the secular New Year has been marked by the famous “ball drop”—a moment meant to symbolize a fresh start. Yet the phrase “dropping the ball” has come to mean something very different: missed opportunities, abandoned commitments, and resolutions that don’t last.In this shiur, we explore the deeper irony of that image, especially in light of the well-known reality that many New Year’s resolutions fade quickly—so much so that the second Friday of January is often called “Quitter’s Day.”Drawing on a teaching from Reb Yaakov of Husiatin in the name of the Apter Rav, we examine the idea that January 1st can actually be a day of merit for the Jewish people—not in a spirit of judgment or comparison, but as a revealing contrast of values.While secular culture often marks new beginnings with celebration and levity, Judaism sanctifies beginnings through meaning, commitment, and connection to Hashem. Our life is not about escape from responsibility, but about deeper alignment with who we are meant to become.This shiur is not about “us versus them,” but about understanding what makes Jewish beginnings different—and how those differences can help us build lasting growth, clarity, and spiritual direction.
