My Mission

What is my mission?

It is Not in Heaven

The Torah's meaning is not meant to be obscure to us. Even the Chukim are not meant to be difficult to understand. In this episode, I argue that it is all quite simple and we can grasp it - today.

Mental Illness in the Torah

Is there mental illness in the Torah/Bible? Does the text hint at causes and solutions? This podcast reveals the beginnings of new answers to these questions. Over the coming months and years, I expect these initial concepts to yield fruit that will enable a fundamentally new and powerful appreciation for the lessons of the Torah.

Please, have a listen, share your feedback, and let me know what you think!

3 Blessings that Shatter the Wall between Man and G-d

The first three blessings of the Amidah shatter the wall between man and G-d. This podcast shows you how Hashem Him/Herself gives us the tools to reach out not just once, but many times a day. Consider these ideas as you pray - especially if you are leading the communal repetition of the prayer. 

Thank you for listening...
