Daily Jewish Thought: Recent Episodes
Rabbi@JewishNDG.com (Rabbi Yisroel Bernath)
Thoughts on spirituality, Kabbalah, Jewish thought, Judaism and Relationships. Rabbi Yisroel Bernath is the Senior Rabbi at Rohr Chabad of NDG and the Jewish Chaplain at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. Cherished for his incredible warmth and non-judgmental personality, this hipster is not your typical rabbi. In 2012, Rabbi Bernath founded the smashing success JMatchmaking International, a network of Jewish dating sites. He has made several dozen matches to date! In addition to being a matchmaker and dating coach, Rabbi Bernath is also the author of three books, and continuously produces engaging content on his many social media & podcast platforms. As a professional voice-over artist, screen-writer, and actor, he has been a part of dozens of productions, including the hit CBC Documentary "Kosher Love".
Tu B’Av is often called the Jewish day of love. In this special Tu B’Av discussion, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath, known as the “Love Rabbi” shares ten essential Jewish relationship principles for singles, couples, and anyone seeking to build deeper, healthier love.
Drawing from Torah, Jewish wisdom, matchmaking experience, and years of counselling singles and couples, Rabbi Bernath explores why dating is not a performance, why chemistry must never outrun character, how to distinguish genuine needs from unrealistic checklists, and why love is not simply something we find, it is something we build.
This class offers practical guidance for dating with clarity, choosing with wisdom, communicating honestly, repairing conflict, and creating a relationship rooted in generosity, commitment, faith, and emotional responsibility.

In this special class in honour of his birthday, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores one of the most misunderstood human traits: sensitivity. While the world often tells us to toughen up and grow thicker skin, Chassidus teaches that the goal is not to suppress our emotions but to refine them. Drawing from Tanya, Torah Or, Likkutei Torah, and the teachings of the Rebbeim, Rabbi Bernath explains that some souls are created to feel more deeply because they are called to illuminate more deeply. Participants discover the difference between being emotionally controlled and spiritually refined, learn why criticism, overwhelm, and empathy affect certain people so intensely, and gain practical Chassidic tools for transforming emotional vulnerability into inner strength, purpose, and closeness to G-d.
Key Points
Why some people are born with “thinner skin and deeper souls.”
The world’s advice: harden yourself. Kabbalah advice: refine yourself.
The exposed nekudas halev (point of the heart) and the spiritual gift of deep feeling.
The soul’s descent into the world as a mission of refinement, not self-protection.
The difference between iskafya (self-mastery) and ishapcha (inner transformation).
Why feeling overwhelmed does not mean you are failing spiritually.
Learning to distinguish between the voice of fear and the voice of the soul.
Healthy boundaries without losing compassion.
Transforming criticism, rejection, and emotional pain into spiritual growth.
How sensitive people can become extraordinary sources of healing, empathy, leadership, and light.
Practical daily Chassidic exercises for emotional resilience and refinement.
A birthday reflection on gratitude for the unique mission of every soul.

In this eye-opening session, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores one of the most profound and misunderstood topics of all time: What is G-d? Moving beyond simplistic childhood images of a supernatural sky-being, we delve into Jewish, Chassidic, philosophical, and even scientific perspectives on the Divine. Drawing from thinkers like Einstein and the Alter Rebbe, this class gently unpacks a paradoxical truth: G-d is not less than personal, but also infinitely more than any person. Whether you’re a believer, skeptic, or somewhere in between, this is a class that will stretch your mind and open your heart.
Takeaways:
Not All “G-ds" Are the Same
The God that many reject may not be the G-d Torah and Kabbalah actually describe.
Beyond Supernatural vs. Natural
Judaism sees G-d not as a supernatural being outside nature, but as the source and essence of all existence, both within and beyond nature.
Personal and Infinite
G-d is not a person, but also not less than personal. The Divine is both the cosmic Author and the intimate Listener.
Language & Metaphor Matter
The Torah uses varied metaphors to relate to G-d, each revealing a facet, none capturing the whole.
G-d Is Experienced, Not Just Explained
You may not "prove" G-d like a theorem—but you can encounter G-d in awe, in kindness, in Torah, and in the quiet moments of the soul.

In this heart-open, mind-stretching class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath dives headfirst into one of the most profound questions ever asked: Who wrote the Torah and what do we mean by G-d? Sparked by a challenge from Ilana, a thoughtful soul who just "won the raffle" and then handed Rabbi Bernath some of the hardest theological questions he's faced, this class isn't a debate, it’s a bridge. Drawing from Torah, Talmud, Rambam, Tanya, Harari, Einstein, Spinoza, and Chassidic mystics, we explore traditional belief, academic scholarship, and the honest soul-searching that sits between them.
Is the Torah a divine blueprint or a human masterpiece? Or… could it be both?
Together, we walk a path between Sinai and the seminar room, from ancient revelation to modern doubt and discover that sometimes, the questions themselves are the invitation to a deeper relationship with truth.
Key Takeaways:
- Traditional Belief Holds Depth: Torah mi-Sinai means Moses recorded divine revelation over 40 years. It's not simplistic, it’s layered and deeply rooted in Jewish collective memory.
- Modern Scholarship Brings Honest Challenges: Thinkers like Harari argue that the Torah was assembled over centuries, reflecting political and social needs. These critiques must be addressed, not ignored.
- Kabbalah and Chassidus Provide a Bridge: Divine revelation doesn’t exclude human expression. The Torah flowed through Moses’ voice and personality, G-d worked with human vessels.
- Assumptions Shape Interpretation: Believers and skeptics alike interpret the same data through different axioms. Acknowledging this fosters respectful dialogue rather than defensiveness.
- The Torah’s Endurance Is Itself a Testament: Its moral vision, power to unite, and enduring relevance across time and culture hint at something more than human genius, it points toward the Divine.
- This Is Not About “Winning” an Argument: It’s about honesty, humility, and the courage to explore big questions together.
- The Torah Is a Living Document: Beyond history or philosophy, Torah continues to speak—not just inform, but transform. That may be its greatest proof of all.

This Shabbat Parshat Beha’alotecha, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath was a Scholar-In-Residence at Beth Tikvah in DDO, Quebec, here is a recording for him preparing his Shabbat morning sermon.
Rabbi Yisroel Bernath connects two contemporary images: the debate over displaying the Ten Commandments in American classrooms and the haunting “blank Tanach” campaign in Israel. Both raise a deeper question: Is Torah something displayed on walls, or something written into our lives?
The sermon then turns to the mysterious two verses of “Vayehi binso’a ha’aron”, surrounded by inverted nuns and described by the Talmud as a “book” of its own. These verses appear at the turning point of Sefer Bamidbar: before them, the Jewish people are guided by faith, order, and Divine protection; after them come complaints, confusion, and crisis.
Rabbi Bernath’s message is clear and urgent: when the Jewish people enter the wilderness, whether physical, emotional, spiritual, or historical, we need two things: the Ark and each other. Torah gives us direction. Jewish unity gives Hashem a place to rest. The blank pages of Jewish life are filled not by slogans or outrage, but by Torah, Shabbos tables, questions, conversations, and a renewed commitment to live as Jews with purpose.
Key Takeaways
1. Torah is not just our history; it is our family story: The greatest danger is not only that Jews may not know a verse. It is that they may not know the verse is about them.
2. The “blank Tanach” is not only an Israeli education problem: Sometimes the Tanach is on our shelf, but not in our conversation. Sometimes Jewish identity awakens in crisis, but Torah must teach us how to live in quiet times too.
3. Beha’alotecha teaches us what to carry into the wilderness: The verses of Vayehi binso’a come exactly when the story shifts from hope to complaint. The Torah gives us a small “book” for hard chapters.
4. We need both Torah and unity: When we travel, the Ark travels with us. When we rest, Hashem rests among the tens of thousands of Israel. Torah gives us direction; unity gives Hashem a home.
5. Judaism cannot remain a poster on the wall: A Ten Commandments poster can be powerful, but Torah written into a life changes the world.
6. October 7 reminded us we are connected by fate. Torah reminds us we are connected by purpose: Fate says, “They hate us together.” Purpose says, “We are here to bring light together.”

Tonight at Congregation TBDJ in Montreal, Rabbi Zolly Claman invited Rabbi Yisroel Bernath to share a unique talk as part of his series on the Characters from the Torah. Rabbi Bernath explored the life of King David through the lens of The Forgiveness Experiment, asking what it really means to forgive without becoming naïve, passive, or unsafe. Moving from Cain and Abel, Isaac and Ishmael, Jacob and Esau, and Joseph and his brothers, the class showed how Tanach slowly develops a deeper language of forgiveness, from failed repair, to fragile reconciliation, to Joseph’s powerful refusal to let his brothers define his life story.
The heart of the class focused on David HaMelech: David sparing Shaul, absorbing Shimei’s public curses, grieving Avshalom, and ultimately becoming not only the one who forgives, but the one who must ask for forgiveness. Through David, we saw that forgiveness is not weakness. It is spiritual strength. It is the courage to release resentment without erasing truth, to hold boundaries without becoming bitter, and to stop giving someone else the pen to your story.
Key Takeaways
-Forgiveness is not pretending the wound never happened; it is deciding that the wound will not become the author of your life.
-Joseph teaches us that people may intend harm, but they do not get to define the meaning of our story.
-David teaches us that true greatness is measured not only by how we act on the throne, but how we respond when we are humiliated, attacked, and vulnerable.
-Forgiveness and boundaries can coexist. David spares Shaul, but he does not move back into the palace.
-Shimei represents the person who attacks when we are already bleeding — and David’s response teaches us the discipline of not letting resentment turn us into someone we do not want to become.
-Divine forgiveness does not erase consequences. David’s teshuvah after Bat Sheva is real, but the story still carries responsibility and repair.
-The House of David is not built by perfect people. It is built by people who fall, return, forgive, ask forgiveness, and keep choosing life.

Why do we read the story of Ruth on Shavuot? Beneath the surface of this beautiful Megillah lies one of the most dramatic stories in all of Tanach, famine, exile, conversion, controversy, loss, courage, and the hidden birth of redemption.
In this class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores the deeper story behind Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz through Midrash, Talmud, Zohar, and Kabbalah. Together we’ll uncover the shocking halachic debate surrounding Ruth’s conversion, the spiritual meaning behind her loyalty, and the extraordinary chain of Divine Providence that ultimately gave birth to King David and Moshiach. This is a story about what happens when life appears to fall apart… only to reveal a deeper plan unfolding underneath it all.
Key Points:
• Why Elimelech abandoned the Jewish people during the famine and the consequences that followed
• Ruth’s radical choice to embrace Judaism despite uncertainty and rejection
• The deeper meaning of “Where you go, I will go” according to the Talmud
• Boaz, Ruth, and the hidden hand of Divine Providence
• The controversial halachic debate: Could Ruth even marry into the Jewish people?
• Why King David’s lineage was questioned generations later
• The spiritual lesson of apparent failure, loss, and hidden redemption
• How the story of Ruth became the blueprint for Moshiach

As we arrive at the final week of Sefirat HaOmer, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores the profound and deeply practical world of Malchut, the sefirah of sovereignty, presence, dignity, and embodiment. In Chassidic thought, Malchut is not about domination or ego-driven power, but about becoming a grounded vessel for truth, connection, and Divine presence. Through powerful analogies, relatable stories, and authentic Kabbalistic teachings, this class explores what it means to lead without controlling, to receive without shame, and to stand in your worth without needing to prove yourself. Malchut is where spirituality stops being theoretical and finally becomes lived reality.
Key Points:
Malchut as “sovereignty through humility,” not control or domination
Why true leadership creates space instead of demanding attention
The paradox of Malchut: having nothing of its own, yet revealing everything
The symbolism of the moon, the sea, and the womb in Chassidic teachings
How listening, receptivity, and emotional presence create deeper relationships
The difference between grounded confidence and ego-driven authority
Why many people struggle more with receiving than giving
Shabbat and Malchut: learning to stop striving and simply dwell
How to embody dignity without needing external validation
Turning everyday moments into vessels for the Shechinah, the Divine Presence

As we step into the week of Yesod, we move from the inner emotional world into the place where everything becomes real, where feelings turn into connection, and potential becomes relationship. In this class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores Yesod not just as a mystical concept, but as the very foundation of how we bond with others, with ourselves, and with G-d.
Drawing on teachings from Kabbalah and Chassidus we uncover the deeper meaning of authentic connection, what it means to show up fully, to be emotionally present, and to build relationships rooted in truth rather than fear. This is not just about connection, it’s about becoming someone who can be trusted with connection. Because Yesod asks one powerful question: Are you relating… or are you just reacting?
Key Points & Takeaways:
Yesod is the bridge between emotion and expression, it’s where everything you feel becomes how you connect.
True connection is not intensity, it’s consistency.
Healthy Yesod means being present, honest, and emotionally available without losing yourself.
Distorted Yesod shows up as people-pleasing, emotional dependency, or confusing attention for connection.
Real intimacy requires vulnerability, but also boundaries.
Trust is built not in big moments, but in small, repeated acts of alignment.
The goal is not just to feel deeply, but to connect truthfully.
You don’t need to perform connection. You need to embody it.

In a world that rewards being right, being strong, and holding it all together, the Sefirah of Hod invites us into a very different kind of strength. In this heart-open class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores the power of humility, not as weakness, but as the courage to soften, to acknowledge truth, and to release the need to control. Drawing from Kabbalah, Chassidic teachings and real-life experiences, this session unpacks how Hod shows up in our relationships, our inner dialogue, and our spiritual growth. When we stop defending and start listening, something shifts. Hod is where we become more honest, more connected, and ultimately, more whole.
Key Takeaways:
Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s being honest enough to let go of defensiveness
Why “being right” can quietly damage relationships and what to choose instead
The difference between healthy humility and losing yourself
How to say “I’m sorry” in a way that actually heals
Letting go of control as a path to deeper connection
How Hod creates space for others, for truth, and for growth
The role of acknowledgment in emotional and spiritual maturity

What drives you to keep pushing forward and when does that drive begin to drain you? In this class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores the Sefirah of Netzach, the inner power of endurance, ambition, and resilience. Through a blend of Kabbalah and Chassidic insight and real-life application, we uncover the difference between healthy perseverance and destructive overdrive. This session invites you to rethink what it means to “win” and how true victory comes not from force, but from alignment with your deeper purpose.
Takeaways:
How to recognize when your drive is coming from strength vs. insecurity.
The hidden cost of pushing too hard and how to avoid burnout.
A deeper definition of “winning” rooted in purpose, not ego.
Tools to access sustainable resilience in your daily life.
How Netzach, when balanced, becomes a force for transformation, not exhaustion

How to Love Without Smothering and Set Boundaries Without Wounding
Why do our best intentions so often hurt the people we love most? Because love without boundaries can suffocate… and truth without compassion can wound. As we enter the week of Tiferet in Sefirat HaOmer, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores the Kabbalistic art of emotional balance, the sacred harmony between Chesed (kindness) and Gevurah (strength). Tiferet is not compromise. It is not weakness. It is the mature, beautiful ability to give people not what we want to give, but what they actually need to receive. This class offers a practical roadmap for developing emotional attunement, relational wisdom, and the courage to live from the heart rather than from ego.
Key Takeaways
Tiferet is emotional maturity, the balance of kindness and discipline.
Intent matters, but impact matters too.
Love can hurt when it is driven by control, anxiety, or ego.
Truth becomes dangerous when it is weaponized instead of harmonized with compassion.
Compassion is not giving what flatters the giver, it is giving what fits the receiver.
Real beauty emerges when opposing traits work in harmony.
Healthy relationships require attunement, not just good intentions.
A holy “no” can sometimes be more compassionate than a misplaced “yes.”
The path to Tiferet begins with pausing before reacting.
Spiritual growth means becoming integrated, centered, and safe for others to experience.

What if the last days of Pesach aren’t about how the story ends… but about how your story begins?
In this deeply practical and soulful class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores the hidden power of the final days of Passover, where we stop remembering freedom and start living toward it. Through the lens of the splitting of the sea, the mysterious idea of Moshiach as a “Caesar,” and the transformative ritual of Moshiach’s Seudah, this class reveals a powerful truth: You’re not as stuck as you think, you’re just one doorway away. Blending Chassidus, storytelling, and real-life application, this session gives you the tools to move forward, soften what feels frozen, and begin opening the doors that lead to your own personal redemption.
Key Takeaways
Not every closed door is locked… sometimes what you need isn’t force, it’s warmth.
Pesach doesn’t end, it evolves… the last days are about tasting the future, not closing the past.
Moshiach isn’t just a belief, it’s a breakthrough…. the power to open what feels impossible.
Redemption isn’t becoming someone new… it’s uncovering who you already are.
You don’t need to split the sea… just take one real step forward.
Small acts open big worlds… a message, a moment, a gesture can be someone else’s redemption.

We’ve all been to a Seder. We know the songs, the matzah, the wine… and somehow, we still walk out the same person. But what if the Seder was never meant to be a ritual you attend, but a process you go through?
In this class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath uncovers the Seder as a 15-step journey of real transformation. A map for getting unstuck, from old habits, inner resistance, fear, and emotional baggage. Not just leaving Egypt… but finally letting Egypt leave you. This isn’t about doing the Seder better. It’s about becoming different because of it.
Key Points:
The Seder isn’t a story, it’s a step-by-step process of inner freedom
Why we start with holiness before fixing ourselves (Kadesh before Urchatz)
The power of being “broken” (Yachatz) as the beginning of real growth
Why we eat matzah (freedom) before maror (pain) and what that says about healing
How each step of the Seder reflects a stage in emotional and spiritual transformation
Identifying your personal “Egypt” what’s actually holding you back
How to walk into your Seder this year with intention and walk out different

Most people prepare for the Seder like they’re hosting a dinner. The food is ready. The table is set. The Haggadah is in place. But the Seder was never meant to be something you run. It’s something you enter. In this class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath reframes Seder preparation, not as logistics, but as inner work. From the wine to the matzah, from the questions to the story, every detail becomes a doorway into something deeper: presence, identity, freedom, and transformation. Because the real preparation for Pesach isn’t just cleaning your home. It’s clearing space within yourself. This class walks you through how to prepare not just your table… but your mindset, your heart, and your story—so when the Seder begins, you’re not just going through it… You’re living it.
Key Takeaways
1. The Seder isn’t a performance, it’s an experience: You can do everything “right”… and miss the point. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s presence. Come as you are and step in fully.
2. Freedom is personal: Everyone has their own cup of wine—because everyone has their own Egypt. The question isn’t just what happened back then. It’s: Where am I stuck right now and what would freedom look like for me?
3. Matzah is not just food, it’s truth: Flat. Simple. No fluff. Freedom begins when you stop performing and start being real. Less image. More honesty.
4. The Seder holds opposites and so can you: Pain and gratitude. Bitterness and growth. Slavery and freedom. Real growth isn’t choosing one over the other. It’s learning how to hold both.
5. Curiosity is the gateway to freedom: The Seder is built on questions. Not because we don’t know, but because we’re still growing. The moment you stop asking… you stop moving.
6. You don’t need everything to begin: We break the matzah and tell the story over the smaller piece. Because transformation doesn’t start when you “have it all together.” It starts with what you have right now.
7. The story only works if you’re in it: If there’s no personal connection… it’s just history. The Seder becomes powerful when you realize: You’re not telling their story. You’re telling yours.
8. Freedom is built in small, intentional choices: Not one dramatic moment. But step by step. Choice by choice. Leaving Egypt is not an event. It’s a process.
9. The goal is not to escape life, but to elevate it: Wine, food, conversation… all physical. But each one becomes meaningful. Freedom is not leaving the world behind. It’s transforming the world you’re already in.
10. The only real preparation: be open… You don’t need to know everything.
You don’t need to feel ready. You just need to show up with: curiosity, honesty and a willingness to move Because if you do… You won’t just run a Seder. You’ll walk out of Egypt.

There’s something about this time of year… As we prepare for Pesach, cleaning, cooking, setting the table… we’re also being invited into something deeper. Not just a historical remembrance… but a personal awakening.
Because the real question of the Seder isn’t “What happened then?” It’s “Am I free now?”
In this special pre-Passover episode, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath shares an exclusive preview from the audiobook of The Forgiveness Experiment Chapter 9.
A look into the “Mitzrayim” within, the inner narrowness, the old voices, the quiet fears that still hold us back long after we’ve “left Egypt.” Drawing on timeless Torah wisdom, including the teaching that “in every generation… a person must see themselves as if they personally left Egypt” , this episode invites you into a different kind of Exodus:
One that happens not all at once… but step by step. Breath by breath. Choice by choice.
You’ll explore:
- Why freedom is not a moment, but a process
- How trauma keeps us attached to what we’ve already outgrown
- What it means to become your own Moses
- And how to gently lead the parts of yourself that are still stuck… toward something wider, softer, freer
This episode is deeply personal. Honest. Whether you’re sitting at the Seder this year wondering if anything has really changed… or you’re ready to take one small step out of your own inner Egypt…
This is your invitation.

What if the line in the Haggadah isn’t history… but a diagnosis? “If G-d hadn’t taken us out of Egypt, we would still be there.” Not physically. Psychologically. Spiritually. Emotionally. In this heart-open Kabbalah class, Rabbi Bernath unpacks the deeper meaning of Egypt, not as a place, but as a mindset. An inner voice that says, “This is just who I am.” A life shaped by patterns we stopped questioning.
Discover how the Exodus introduced something the world had never known before: the possibility of change. A new language. A new identity. A new way to see yourself—not as a product of your past, but as a soul with infinite capacity to grow.
This isn’t about leaving Egypt. It’s about realizing you were never meant to stay.
Takeaways:
Egypt isn’t a place, it’s a mindset of limitation and resignation
The deepest slavery is when you stop believing change is possible
The Exodus gave the world a new “language of freedom”
Every inner shift, from fear to courage, from stuck to growth, is a personal Exodus
You don’t need to become someone new, you need to remember who you already are
Freedom begins the moment you challenge the story that says “this is just me”

In this deeply real and liberating class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores a striking idea from Parshat Vayikra: the Torah doesn’t say if a leader will fail, it says when. Why? Because growth, leadership, love, and even spirituality all require stepping into a messy, imperfect world.
Through the lens of Kabbalah and Chassidus, you weren’t created to be perfect, you were created to transform imperfection. Your mistakes are not interruptions to your journey… they are the journey.
This class reframes failure, guilt, and self-doubt and replaces them with responsibility, growth, and deep self-compassion.
Takeaways:
The Torah’s radical view: failure is not a flaw, it’s part of your mission
Why people who never “mess up” often never fully show up
The difference between guilt that crushes… and responsibility that elevates
A Kabbalistic perspective on why G-d wants an imperfect world
How to stop fearing mistakes and start using them as fuel for growth
The secret to leadership, in your home, your relationships, and your life
Why accountability (not perfection) is the real goal

Did life turn out the way you imagined it would? Most of us quietly carry two versions of our lives, the ideal one we dreamed about and the messy, imperfect one we actually live. In this Wednesday morning Kabbalah class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores a powerful insight from Parshat Vayakhel–Pekudei and Chassidic teachings: why the Torah repeats the story of the Mishkan twice, and what that reveals about our own lives.
Drawing from the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and Tanya, the class examines the difference between the “heavenly sanctuary” of our dreams and the “earthly sanctuary” we build through our struggles, relationships, and imperfections. The surprising message? G-d does not dwell in the perfect life we imagine. G-d dwells in the real life we build.
This class offers a calming and empowering perspective: the challenges, disappointments, and imperfections of our lives are not obstacles to holiness… they are the very materials through which we create it.
Key Takeaways
Every person lives with two realities: the life we imagined and the life we are actually living.
Western philosophy often values the ideal over the real, but Torah reverses that assumption.
The Torah repeats the story of the Mishkan to teach that the earthly sanctuary is not a copy, it is the true destination.
G-d’s deepest presence is revealed not in perfection, but in the human effort to transform imperfect reality.
Your struggles, scars, and disappointments are not detours from your purpose, they are the building blocks of your spiritual home.
Holiness is not found in escaping life’s imperfections, but in transforming them.
True beauty emerges when we build meaning, faith, and love within the life we actually have.

Why did Moses smash the tablets and why were the broken pieces placed in the Holy of Holies alongside the whole ones? In this heart-open class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores one of the most powerful and surprising teachings in Torah: that brokenness is not the opposite of holiness, it can be its doorway. Drawing on the story of the Golden Calf, the teachings of the Talmud, Midrash, and the Lubavitcher Rebbe, this class reveals how Judaism embraces both the “whole tablets” and the “broken tablets” of our lives. Together we explore how pain, setbacks, doubt, and struggle can become catalysts for deeper connection, compassion, and spiritual growth. The message is both radical and comforting: the fragments of our lives may contain the deepest light.
Key Takeaways
Holiness is not limited to moments of perfection; it can emerge from our struggles and broken experiences.
The broken tablets in the Ark teach that failure and fracture still belong in the sacred space of our lives.
Sometimes our deepest connection to G-d happens not when we feel strong, but when we feel vulnerable and searching.
Brokenness can soften our hearts and deepen our compassion for others.
The Torah teaches that new wisdom and deeper growth often emerge after moments of spiritual collapse.
Our lives contain both “whole tablets” and “broken tablets” and both are part of the sacred journey.

This wasn’t just another Shabbat. This was the kind of Shabbat that reminds you history isn’t something we read, it’s something we walk into.
At Chabad NDG in Montreal, a Persian-themed Shabbat table became something deeper: a meeting point between ancient Persia and modern Iran. Between the story of Haman and the voices of real Iranian activists fighting for freedom today. Between fear… and courage.
Then came the moment no one planned.
Walking to synagogue the next morning, before even hearing the news, the streets began to speak. Neighbors stopped, embraced, thanked. By the afternoon, the entire area around Chabad NDG filled with music, celebration, life. And suddenly, an ancient custom, making noise for Haman felt different.
Because this isn’t just about a villain from 2,500 years ago.
From medieval children smashing stones with his name, to the teachings of the Rebbe, to a Midrash where noise literally drives away darkness—this episode explores a powerful idea:
Sometimes holiness isn’t quiet. Sometimes, the most spiritual thing you can do… is make noise. Not noise of chaos. Noise of clarity. Noise that says: Didan Natzach. We are still here.
Key Takeaways
Haman is not just a character, he’s a pattern. Every generation meets its version of Amalek. The question isn’t if, it’s how we respond.
Noise can be holy. From ancient Jewish customs to Midrashic stories, making noise isn’t childish, it’s spiritual resistance. It’s the soul refusing to be silent in the face of darkness.
Joy is not denial, it’s defiance. The celebrations outside weren’t ignoring reality. They were transforming it. That’s the deepest Purim energy: turning fear into song.
The street became a synagogue. When neighbors hug you, when music fills the air, when gratitude replaces tension, you realize holiness doesn’t only live inside walls.
Children understand something we forget. They bang, they stomp, they erase Haman without overthinking it. There’s a purity in that. A clarity adults sometimes lose.
“Didan Natzach” is not just a phrase, it’s a posture. It means: we don’t wait for darkness to pass. We confront it. Together. Loudly. Joyfully.

The Megillah opens with one of the most extravagant, unnecessary parties in history and somehow, it’s there to teach us how to live. In this class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath discusses a powerful insight from the Rebbe: even a foolish king understood something many of us forget, that life is not meant to be lived halfway. Through the lens of Achashverosh’s over-the-top feast, we explore what it means to stop playing small, access our full potential, and show up to our lives, our relationships, and our purpose with everything we’ve got.
Takeaways:
Why the Megillah goes into such vivid detail and what it’s trying to tell you
The danger of living a “half-lived” life
How to shift from holding back → showing up fully
A practical way to identify where you’re playing small
What it means to live “all in” without burning out
How your unique gifts are meant to impact the world

Parshat Terumah introduces the Ark, Judaism’s holiest object and reveals a radical truth about the human soul. The Ark wasn’t one solid piece. It was gold on the inside, wood in the middle, gold on the outside.
In this class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores how the Ark becomes a map of the inner life: A core that is pure and untouchable. A middle that feels messy, emotional, contradictory and an outer life that still has the power to shine.
Drawing from Tanya and Chassidic psychology, this episode reframes guilt, self-judgment, and spiritual exhaustion and offers a deeply compassionate model of growth. It’s about learning how to live from your gold even on wooden days.
Key Takeaways
You are not defined by your moods, struggles, or inner noise
Your essence is intact, even if your emotions feel chaotic
You don’t need to feel holy to act holy
Conscious behavior can reflect Divine light, even when feelings lag behind
Growth doesn’t require repression, only honesty and choice
Nothing and no one can ever damage your inner gold

In this morning’s class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explored one of the Torah’s most psychologically honest teachings: what to do when our emotions and our values don’t align. Through the mitzvah of helping an enemy’s fallen donkey, we uncovered Judaism’s middle path, neither repressing emotions nor surrendering to them. Drawing from halacha, Kabbalah, and Chassidus, the class reframed emotional maturity as the ability to feel honestly while choosing responsibly, and offered a practical way to act with integrity even when the heart resists.
Key Takeaways
The Torah acknowledges emotional resistance without letting it dictate behavior
Feeling something does not automatically make it true or actionable
Jewish Law validates emotions but prioritizes responsibility and mitzvah
Helping an “enemy” is about freeing yourself from the grip of impulse
In Kabbalah, the mind is meant to guide emotions like a wise parent, not silence them
Sometimes the heart follows the hands, action can lead emotion

Why would a powerful, respected spiritual leader abandon comfort, status, and certainty to join a nation of former slaves in the desert?
In this morning’s class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores the story of Jethro—not as ancient history, but as a living mirror. Through a surprising Talmudic question, we uncover what Jethro really heard that compelled him to move from observer to participant.
This class weaves together three forces that define the Jewish story, irrational hatred, the moral genius of Torah, and the supernatural resilience of the Jewish people and asks a deeply personal question:
What does Judaism ask of us when it’s easier to stay comfortable?
Jethro’s journey challenges us to stop watching Jewish life from the sidelines and start stepping into it with intention, courage, and responsibility.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Being inspired is easy. Showing up changes everything.
Irrational hatred is often the shadow cast by something deeply holy.
Torah isn’t just tradition, it’s a radical moral framework that reshaped civilization.
Jewish survival defies history, logic, and probability.
You don’t need to be born into greatness, but you do need to choose it.
Judaism isn’t meant to be admired from a distance, it’s meant to be lived.
The real question isn’t what did Jethro hear? It’s what are we hearing—and what are we doing about it?

You don’t often see a book launch feel like a collective exhale.
This recording is from the Montreal launch of The Forgiveness Experiment, featuring the author Rabbi Yisroel Bernath in conversation with Ilana Zackon.
Ilana Zackon, an award-winning actor, writer, and filmmaker. Together, they dive into the heart of the book: why forgiveness matters, how it changes us, and what it means to live with open hearts even in a fractured world. Expect laughter, honesty, vulnerability, and plenty of inspiration.
Held in the days leading up to Yom Kippur, this wasn’t just a discussion about forgiveness, it was an exploration of freedom. Together, Rabbi Bernath and Ilana unpack the heart of The Forgiveness Experiment:
Why forgiveness isn’t about excusing harm. Why it’s not spiritual bypassing. And why, sometimes, forgiveness is the bravest form of self-respect.
What unfolds is honest, funny, vulnerable, and deeply human. Stories are shared. Assumptions are challenged. And the room slowly softens.
This conversation and the book weaves together Jewish wisdom, lived experience, and psychological insight, offering a grounded, compassionate approach to letting go of pain without losing your truth.
If you’ve ever wondered: Why is forgiveness so hard? Is it possible to forgive without minimizing what happened? What if forgiveness is something I do for myself, not for them?
This conversation is for you.
Since that night, The Forgiveness Experiment has become a #1 bestseller on Amazon, and Rabbi Bernath has traveled across North America sharing its message.

One of the first things we did together as a people wasn’t march, organize, or strategize. We sang. Standing at the edge of the sea, fresh from fear, not yet healed, still unsure where we were going the Jewish people lifted their voices in song. But the Torah leaves us with a mystery: how did three million people sing one song together? Was it led by Moses? Echoed by the people? Or did each person discover the song within themselves?
In this class, Rabbi Bernath explores an ancient debate that turns out to be a timeless conversation about leadership, growth, and personal responsibility. Is a leader meant to be followed, echoed, or outgrown? And what does it mean to stop repeating someone else’s song and finally sing your own?
Key Points
The Song at the Sea as the birth moment of the Jewish voice.
Three models of leadership hidden in one ancient song
The difference between submission, discipleship, and empowerment.
Why real transformation doesn’t come from echoing, but from ownership.
What it means to be given a match, not a melody.
Takeaways
True leadership doesn’t create followers, it awakens leaders.
Unity isn’t sameness; it’s shared purpose with individual voice.
You don’t need permission to sing what’s already inside you.
The most enduring influence is what continues after the leader steps back.
Your voice matters, not later, not someday, but now.

In Parshat Bo, G-d tells Moses something unexpected: “Come to Pharaoh.” Not go… but come.
In this episode Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores a profound teaching from the Zohar and Chassidic thought: when we face a “Pharaoh” in our lives… fear, resistance, heartbreak, failure, or a person who seems to block our freedom… we are never sent alone. G-d says: Come with Me.
Even more startling, G-d adds: “Because I hardened his heart.” The resistance itself is Divine. Not to stop redemption, but to reveal it.
Through Torah, Kabbalah, psychology, and powerful stories (including the donkey in the pit and a letter from the Rebbe), this class reframes life’s hardships as portals, not barriers. What feels like opposition is often the very force meant to uncover our deepest strength, courage, and soul-power.
This is a class about fear, faith, resilience and discovering that the path forward is often a winding one, but it always leads upward.
Key Takeaways
You never face adversity alone. “Come to Pharaoh” means G-d walks with you into your hardest moments.
Resistance is not random. Some of the strongest opposition in life is part of the redemption process itself.
Pharaoh is not in control. What looks overwhelming is often a tool, not a tyrant.
Obstacles are portals. Life’s blockages are invitations to excavate hidden strength.
Growth is uncomfortable by design. Muscle only grows by tearing and so does the soul.
The dirt can bury you or elevate you. Shake it off. Step up. Rise.
Your hardest challenges may reveal your greatest light. You discover who you truly are not when life is easy, but when it demands more of you.

One of the most surprising details in the Exodus story is that Moses, the redeemer of Israel, did not grow up as a slave, but in Pharaoh’s palace.
In this morning’s Kabbalah class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores why Divine Providence chose such an unlikely path for Israel’s future leader and what it reveals about the nature of freedom.
Drawing on Chassidic insights into the word sivlot“ burdens” that also mean tolerance, this class reframes redemption as a psychological and spiritual awakening. True liberation begins not when suffering becomes unbearable, but when we refuse to accept it as normal.
Through the lens of Moses’ outsider perspective, the Israelites’ cry in Egypt, and our ongoing experience of personal and collective exile, the class challenges us to examine what we’ve learned to tolerate in our own lives. With warmth, depth, and practical reflection, this session invites participants to rediscover holy dissatisfaction, reclaim dignity, and begin their own daily Exodus from narrowness to possibility.
Key Takeaways
Redemption begins internally: Before freedom can happen externally, we must stop tolerating what diminishes us.
Tolerance is not always a virtue: Sometimes patience becomes a prison that keeps us stuck in unhealthy patterns.
Moses could lead because he never internalized slavery: Growing up in Pharaoh’s palace gave him the clarity and courage to challenge injustice.
The cry matters: Change begins when we allow ourselves to feel the pain we’ve been numbing and cry out honestly.
Exile becomes dangerous when it feels normal: Personally and collectively, redemption starts when we remember that brokenness is not the natural state.
Standards shape destiny: What we accept defines what we become, raising our inner standards opens the door to transformation.
Every day is an Exodus: Leaving Egypt isn’t a one-time event; it’s a daily practice of refusing limitation and choosing growth.

Moses had every reason to stay comfortable: palace roots, a peaceful life in Midyan, and an age where most people stop reinventing themselves. Then a bush burned and refused to go away.
In this class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores the moment that changes everything: not charging forward, not fixing the world, but simply turning your head. Through the burning bush, the Midrashic debate, and Moses’ three objections, we uncover how purpose actually shows up, why resistance is part of the calling, and how your deepest struggles may be the doorway to your greatest contribution.
This isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about finally noticing what’s been calling you all along.
Key Takeaways
Calling begins with attention, not action. G-d speaks when we notice, not when we’re ready.
Purpose doesn’t consume you; it sustains you. A real mission burns without burning out.
You don’t need five steps, sometimes a turned head is enough.
Insecurity, blame, and perfectionism are spiritual disguises for fear.
Your thorn bush is not your weakness, it’s your credential.
Redemption starts when someone says “Hineni” before knowing how it ends.

The moment Joseph reveals himself to his brothers is not just a family reunion, it is a soul disclosure. In this class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores why Joseph repeats himself, why he asks his brothers to come closer, and why he insists on reminding them that they sold him into Egypt. Drawing from Torah, Midrash, and Kabbalah, we discover that Joseph’s greatest holiness was not forged in comfort, but in confrontation with darkness. His life teaches us that our deepest light often emerges not despite our struggles, but because of them. This is a class about identity, resilience, and the sacred fire hidden within every human journey.
Key Points
Light isn’t proven in comfort. It is revealed in contrast. Joseph’s greatness emerged not in his father’s home, but in Egypt’s darkness.
Your story is not a detour. The very chapters you wish you could erase are often the ones that unlock your deepest purpose.
What looks like a mask may be protection. Joseph wasn’t hiding his soul, he was carrying it through hostile terrain until it was safe to reveal.
Stop living in “if only.” Joseph teaches us that spiritual greatness is not about ideal circumstances, but about faithfulness where you are.
Darkness can be a catalyst, not a contradiction. The pit, the prison, and the palace were all part of one divine choreography.
You are more than how you appear. Others may misread you, but your soul is not confused about who you are.
True brotherhood begins with seeing. Healing starts when we learn to recognize the divine light in one another, even when it’s hidden.
Your struggle did not weaken you, it refined you. Fire doesn’t destroy the coal; it reveals what was already burning inside.

This Shabbat, as Chanukah and Parshat Miketz converge, our hearts are heavy and our calling is clear. From the moment the Maccabees discovered a single cruse of oil in the desecrated Temple, Jewish history hinged not on what was found, but on what was done. They could have preserved the oil as a relic. Instead, they used it and ignited a light that has burned for 2,200 years.
In the shadow of the tragic attack at the Chabad Chanukah celebration in Bondi Beach, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath delivers a sermon that explores a timeless Jewish truth: Judaism does not survive through museums or memory alone, but through lived action. Like Joseph in Miketz, who steps forward from darkness with faith and purpose, we are asked to respond to pain not by retreating, but by lighting, loving, and living more Jewishly than ever before.
Key Takeaways
The miracle of Chanukah was not the oil, it was the choice to use it.
Judaism survives not by being preserved, but by being practiced.
Darkness is real, but it never gets the final word.
Every mitzvah, no matter how small, carries generational power.
In moments of pain and fear, our response is not silence, but light.
Honoring tragedy in Jewish history means responding with deeper Jewish life.
Like Joseph in Miketz, we don’t need to know the ending, we just need to show up with what we have.

In this morning’s class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explored the baffling, almost mythical global obsession with Israel and the Jewish people, a tiny nation that somehow takes up an outsized share of the world’s attention. Drawing on the teachings of Rabbi Simon Jacobson, Rabbi YY Jacobson, and Rabbi Manis Friedman, Rabbi Bernath unpacked the spiritual roots behind antisemitism and the world’s fixation on Jews.
We confronted the paradox: being “chosen” doesn’t raise us above others, it humbles us beneath the weight of responsibility. Using the Alter Rebbe’s 1798 letter after his release on Yud Tes Kislev, we learned that true chosenness shrinks the ego while expanding the soul’s mission: to illuminate the world with goodness, moral clarity, unity, and love.
When Jews embrace who we are… Divine ambassadors of light, we trigger the world. But we also transform it.
Key Takeaways
The obsession is ancient and irrational — Jews are less than 0.25% of the world, yet remain humanity’s main character.
Reason alone cannot explain Jewish influence and survival — only our mission as bearers of ethical monotheism can.
Chosen-ness ≠ superiority — it’s a call to responsibility, growth, and humility.
Closeness to G-d shrinks the ego, not inflates it — “Katonti,” like Jacob said: “I am made small by Your kindness.”
Anyone can join the Jewish people — chosenness is a spiritual calling, not a biological club.
The world senses Jewish holiness — sometimes more than Jews do — and reacts intensely, for better or worse.
Our role is universal — to be a moral lighthouse, not a fortress of self-importance.

In this heart-opening conversation, Rabbi Bernath shares a powerful true story of a needy bride who felt ashamed to accept financial help, until she discovers that she is a partner, not a burden. Drawing on the Torah’s teaching of Yissachar and Zevulun, and Chassidic wisdom from the Lubavitcher Rebbe, he reveals the revolutionary idea that tzedakah is not a one-way act of charity but a sacred spiritual partnership. Through moving stories, including a dramatic tale of a Hatzalah medic and his unlikely agreement with a butcher afraid of blood the message becomes clear: the giver and receiver elevate and bless one another. Each act of kindness is a mutual exchange of soul-energy that strengthens Jewish unity and brings the world closer to redemption.
Key Takeaways
Receiving is also giving.The recipient grants the giver the opportunity to fulfill a supreme mitzvah and gain spiritual merit.
Tzedakah is a partnership.Like Yissachar and Zevulun, both the supporter and the one supported share in the mitzvah.
Spiritual reward is shared.Jewish law and Chassidic teachings affirm that those who enable mitzvot receive a full portion of the merit.
Everyone has something to give.Whether materially or spiritually, we each fill in what others lack.
Unity is our strength.Caring for one another is the secret of Jewish survival and the catalyst for redemption.
Acts of kindness transform the world.When we give and receive with dignity, we illuminate each other’s lives and G-d’s world.

In this remarkable conversation, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath sits down with Rabbi Dovid Eliezrie to explore UNdaunted, his newly released biography of the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, a hero of Jewish history whose courage rewrote the future. We journey through the Rebbe’s extraordinary childhood, discovering how early acts of bravery shaped a leader who would one day defy empires and rebuild Jewish life across the world.
Rabbi Eliezrie speaks of the Rebbe’s profound influence on Montreal, from the spiritual infrastructure he inspired, to the seeds of community he planted that continue to flourish today. Along the way, Rabbi Eliezrie shares gripping stories, newly uncovered insights, and the human side of a leader whose love for every Jew was as fierce as his fight for our future.
This conversation isn’t only about the past, it’s about the fire that still burns in us. The Previous Rebbe taught us to never bow to fear, never settle for less, and never stop believing in the infinite power of the Jewish soul.
Rabbi David Eliezrie, a master storyteller, community builder, global Jewish leader, and the author of the newly released Undaunted, his monumental biography of the Frierdiker Rebbe, the Sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe whose life reads like a symphony of faith and fearlessness. Rabbi Eliezrie is the senior Shliach in Yorba Linda, president of the Rabbinical Council of Orange County, a senior advisor to JRNU, and a respected voice in Jewish life both in Israel and around the world. He’s written bestselling works (The Secret of Chabad was a National Jewish Book Award finalist) and has the rare gift of being able to weave historical depth with a storyteller’s heart.
This book, Undaunted is something different. It’s sweeping, deeply researched, and filled with moments that remind you what spiritual courage looks like in real life. It’s the story of a Rebbe who fought czars, communists, assimilation, and despair… and somehow managed to strengthen Judaism in every place he touched.

Prayer isn’t supposed to feel far away, confusing, or “for holier people.” It’s a ladder right beneath your feet, starting exactly where you are, in your busy, messy, beautiful real life. Tonight, we explore the ancient Kabbalistic map of the four worlds of Action, Emotion, Understanding, and Oneness and discover how the structure of our daily prayers is designed to gently lift us, step by step. Jacob’s ladder becomes our ladder: a practical tool for finding meaning, presence, and Divine connection in a world that constantly pulls us down to earth. No experience needed. No advanced mysticism required. Just bring a heart that’s willing to take one small step upward.
Key Takeaways
- Start Where You Are
The ladder begins on the ground — spiritual growth doesn’t require feeling spiritual at first. - Prayer Has Four Stages
The siddur intentionally guides us from action → emotion → insight → connection. - Small Steps Matter
Even a single focused phrase or breath can shift us into a higher state of being. - Two-Way Ladder
As we elevate ourselves through prayer, G-d brings strength, clarity, and blessing down into our everyday life. - You Are the Ladder
Like Jacob, compassion is our bridge of every kind act connects heaven and earth.

In this morning’s class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath dove into one of the strangest, most beautiful marriage scenes in the entire Torah, Yitzchak and Rivkah caught “jesting” behind a window.
Why does the Torah use a word for laughter to describe intimacy? Why is the first Jew born into the covenant literally named “He Will Laugh”? And why does Rivkah’s name hint to a yoke of oxen, two forces pulling together toward transformation?
Using Rashi, Midrash, Zohar, and the Alter Rebbe’s revolutionary maamar from 5569, we uncovered a powerful Chassidic idea: Laughter is born from contradiction. From the unexpected. From two worlds that shouldn’t fitand yet somehow do. That’s the secret of Yitzchak and Rivkah. That’s the secret of humanity. And that’s the secret of marriage.
Today’s class explored how two people with different histories, tendencies, wounds, and temperaments can build something eternal… precisely because of their differences. When we choose holiness over instinct, love over ego, repair over distance, Heaven itself, the Alter Rebbe says, “laughs with delight.” Marriage, it turns out, is the ultimate divine joke. And our job is to embrace the punchline.
TAKEAWAYS
Laughter = Transformation
The Alter Rebbe teaches that laughter is triggered when reality breaks its own rules. When a human transcends instinct choosing holiness over ego that is the greatest “cosmic joke.”
Yitzchak’s Name Isn’t Cute … It’s His Mission
“He will laugh” means the whole purpose of Jewish life is rising above our programmed nature. This is why the Torah uses metzachek: intimacy is the fusion of two worlds that shouldn’t naturally fit.
Rivkah Is the Model of Human Greatness
Raised in corruption, she becomes a “rose among thorns.” She is proof that background does not define destiny. She is the surprise that makes Heaven smile.
Marriage Thrives on Differences, Not Sameness
The clash, the contrast, the contradictions—these are not obstacles. They are the very material through which G-d’s laughter emerges. The greatest holiness comes from uniting opposites.
Every Conflict Is an Invitation
When your instinct says defend, and you choose softness… When your body says withdraw, and you choose connection… When your ego wants to be right, and you choose to be kind… That is holy laughter. That is Yitzchak.
This Is Why Avimelech Knew
Only husband and wife can create the kind of oneness that blends two spiritual worlds into something new. That oneness is holiness. That holiness is laughter.

In this morning’s class, Rabbi Bernath explored the timeless lesson hidden in a sleepy Midrash. When Rabbi Akiva saw his students dozing off, he woke them not with rebuke, but with revelation: the story of Queen Esther’s 127 provinces, mirroring the 127 years of Sarah’s life.
From this, the Chedushei HaRim teaches that Sarah lived every moment so fully that each second became a kingdom of its own. Rabbi Akiva’s message? Every moment we “sleep through” is a world lost. Through humor, wisdom, and a dash of Churchill’s charm, Rabbi Bernath reminded us that time is not money, it’s life itself.
Takeaways:
Every Moment Matters: Like Sarah, each of us has the power to turn seconds into significance.
Wakefulness Is Spiritual: Falling asleep… literally or metaphorically means missing the miracle of now.
Time Is Life, Not Money: The Rebbe taught that time is not a commodity but a living gift. Use it with purpose.
Presence Is Royalty: Esther’s reign flowed from Sarah’s lived time; our own “reign” depends on how awake we are to our days.
Humor and Holiness Coexist: Even Churchill and Rabbi Akiva knew that a good laugh can wake up the soul.

In this heart-stirring exploration of the prophet Elisha’s miracle for the destitute widow, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath invites us to uncover our own “cruse of oil” the indestructible spark of holiness within. Drawing from Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi’s profound interpretation, we discover that the widow’s empty vessels are our empty actions, our daily deeds done even without inspiration. When we keep showing up, praying, loving, giving, building those vessels eventually overflow with divine oil. This class takes the ancient story and turns it into a living roadmap for reigniting the soul when we feel emotionally or spiritually numb.
Takeaways:
Every soul possesses a pure “cruse of oil” an unbreakable core of divine essence untouched by pain, doubt, or apathy.
When inspiration runs dry, the key is action: fill your life with “empty vessels” of goodness, even if your heart isn’t fully in it yet.
Emotional numbness doesn’t mean the soul has died it’s a signal that something deeper is ready to be rediscovered.
Love, awe, and purpose can be reclaimed through consistent small acts of holiness they become the vessels for divine flow.
The moment the spark reawakens, all your past “empty” deeds become filled with meaning, joy, and light.

In this heartfelt Ask Me Anything, Rabbi Bernath responds to someone from the Kabbalah for Everyone Community, a lifelong Reform Jew who asks a question many have quietly carried: “Am I less of a Jew because I was raised Reform?”
Rabbi Bernath explores how Jewish identity transcends denominational labels. Drawing on teachings from Tanya and Rashi, he reminds us that every Jewish soul is a piece of G-d, unbreakable and equally precious.
This conversation becomes more than an answer, it’s an invitation to rediscover who we are beneath the labels. It’s a love letter to every Jew who has ever wondered if they still belong.
Takeaways:
There are no “levels” of Jewishness. Every Jew, regardless of affiliation or observance carries the same Divine spark.
Denominations are man-made; the soul is G-d-made. Labels were meant to organize ideas, not divide hearts.
Jewish identity is a relationship, not a category. Wherever you learn, pray, or grow, your connection to G-d is real and alive.
Belonging is not earned — it’s inherited. You’re part of the same eternal covenant, the same people, the same love story that began at Sinai.
Your light matters. Every small act of faith, study, or kindness sustains the Jewish people.

This morning, Rabbi Bernath explored a fascinating question raised by the great medieval sage Nachmanides (the Ramban): Why does the Torah introduce every major biblical figure with their background—except Abraham?
Why does G-d suddenly appear and tell him, “Lech Lecha — Go to yourself”, without any explanation of why him?
The Ramban and later Chassidic masters reveal something extraordinary: G-d didn’t just speak to Abraham. He speaks to everyone. The difference is — Abraham heard it.
“Lech Lecha” is not a one-time command; it’s a timeless call to every soul to move forward, step out of fear, and become the person G-d created us to be.
Rabbi Bernath illustrated this with the story of Avraham Vetzler, a 90-year-old Holocaust survivor who, after eight decades of silence, suddenly felt the call to return—to light, to Torah, to G-d. His story reminds us that it’s never too late to hear our own Lech Lecha.
Key Takeaways:
G-d is always speaking. The question is: am I listening?
“Lech Lecha” is a call to every human being — to leave behind fear, comfort, and old patterns and journey toward our truest self.
Growth begins when we notice that inner whisper and take one brave step forward.
You’re never too old, too far, or too lost to hear the call again.

This morning, Rabbi Bernath explored one of the most misunderstood heroes in Torah, Noach. While the Torah calls him a tzaddik, some sages question whether he was truly righteous or simply better than those around him. Why would our tradition, which praises kindness and humility, seem to downplay the one man who saved humanity?
Drawing on a 1964 teaching from the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Bernath reframed the question: the Sages weren’t diminishing Noach, they were elevating him. Noach wasn’t perfect. He doubted. He hesitated. He stumbled. But he built an ark anyway. And that’s precisely why he’s the hero for the rest of us, for the ordinary, flawed people who still try to do good in a noisy, cynical world.
Noach reminds us that you don’t need to be Abraham or Moses to make a difference. You just need to build your ark, an island of sanity, compassion, and moral courage, right where you are.
Key Takeaways:
Imperfect Righteousness Is Still Righteousness.
The Torah’s praise of Noach is not about spiritual perfection, but about moral persistence. Doing good in a corrupt world is itself greatness.
The Power of Ordinary People.
Noach’s story teaches that world-changing moments often come from those who don’t feel extraordinary, just steady souls who keep showing up.
Struggle Is Part of the Journey.
Unlike “cookie-cutter” saints, real people wrestle with doubt, temptation, and fatigue. Noach’s humanity is his heroism.
Build Your Ark.
In a world flooded with noise and confusion, our job is to create spaces of kindness, faith, and integrity, shelters of light in turbulent waters.
Every Small Act Matters.
Like the girl tossing starfish back into the sea, we can’t save the whole world, but we can change someone’s world.

In this morning’s class, Rabbi Bernath explored one of the most profound paradoxes in the Torah, the two seemingly contradictory accounts of Adam and Eve’s creation. Far from a textual flaw, this duality encodes the deepest truths about relationships, individuality, and spiritual evolution.
The first creation describes Adam and Eve as one, a fused, bi-gendered being. The second describes their separation. From this, Rabbi Bernath revealed a timeless model: every relationship, whether between man and woman or humanity and G-d, must pass through three stages, oneness, separation, and reunion.
Through this lens, the Genesis narrative becomes not ancient history but a living blueprint. It explains the evolution of human intimacy, feminism, secularism, and the search for Divine connection in the modern age, showing that we are now entering the third stage: the age of chosen unity, love and faith born not of obligation, but of conscious choice.
Key Takeaways:
Genesis isn’t contradiction, it’s choreography.
The two accounts of creation mirror the cosmic dance between unity and individuality, dependence and independence, G-d and humankind.
True love is chosen, not imposed.
Adam and Eve’s separation allowed them to rediscover each other voluntarily, the foundation of mature, lasting relationships.
History mirrors the Garden.
From religious dependence, to secular independence, humanity now yearns for integration, faith and freedom intertwined.
Marriage is self-discovery.
In loving another, we reunite with the missing part of ourselves; separation was never punishment, but preparation for deeper connection.
The third stage is now.
Our generation is called to embody integration, where spirituality and modernity, masculinity and femininity, body and soul harmonize again.

Rabbi Yisroel Bernath delivers a moving Simchat Torah sermon celebrating the miraculous return of the hostages, a moment when prophecy, pain, and prayer converge into pure joy. He draws a profound parallel between this homecoming and the essence of Simchat Torah, a holiday where Jews dance not because of ritual, but because of belonging.
Rabbi Bernath reminds us that Jewish joy cannot be taken, it is divine, defiant, and eternal. Through the story of Isaac’s hidden treasure and the timeless circle of Torah dance, he calls every Jew, believer and skeptic alike, to join the dance of unity, gratitude, and faith reborn.
Key Takeaways:
A Living Prophecy:
Jeremiah’s words, “Your children shall return to their borders” come alive as we witness the hostages’ return, transforming tears of despair into tears of gratitude.
The Essence of Simchat Torah:
Unlike other festivals tied to specific mitzvot, Simchat Torah’s commandment is simply to rejoice. We dance with closed Torah scrolls because joy transcends knowledge, it’s about belonging, not perfection.
Eternal Jewish Joy:
The attack that began on Simchat Torah was meant to steal Jewish joy, yet this very year, that joy is reclaimed. Jewish joy is not circumstantial; it’s the pulse of our people.
The Treasure Within:
Like Isaac discovering the treasure under his own oven, we rediscover that the greatest strength and hope lie not in distant places, but within ourselves and our faith.
A Call to Dance:
Rabbi Bernath invites everyone, regardless of belief or pain, to dance with Heaven itself. This Simchat Torah, every step is a declaration: Am Yisrael Chai.

When Rabbi Yisroel Bernath spotted a superyacht with an infinity pool merging into the sky, it sparked a journey through one of the most powerful Talmudic stories, Rabbi Akiva’s “sukkah on a ship.” From that image of faith floating on waves, this class dives into the timeless tension between fragility and faith, exploring what it means to build Jewish life and joy even when the ground beneath us feels unstable.
Through stories that span from ancient Rome to post-Holocaust Budapest, Rabbi Bernath reveals the unbreakable resilience of Jewish spirit and the eternal power of ideas that can’t be burned, silenced, or washed away.
Takeaways:
- Faith in Motion: Even when life feels unstable, your sukkah, your faith, your values, your light, can stand strong.
- Resilience Is Our Heritage: From Rabbi Akiva’s ship to a siddur saved from the ashes, Jewish history proves that our strength comes from rebuilding, not retreating.
- Ideas Outlive Empires: The Romans burned scrolls, but not the words. Power fades; purpose endures.
- Your Sukkah Is a Statement: Every mitzvah you do in today’s world is an act of defiance against despair and a declaration of hope.
- We Are the Calm in the Storm: Our task is to build joy, faith, and community even when the waves rise because that’s where holiness truly lives.

Rabbi Yisroel Bernath recorded this sermon before Rosh Hashana as he was preparing and we are sharing it with you... of course it’s nothing close to the magic of Rosh Hashana at Chabad NDG in Montreal.
Rabbi Yisroel Bernath’s Rosh Hashanah sermon reminds us that the world doesn’t change through headlines or massive movements alone, it turns on small hinges. From Newton’s apple to Rosa Parks’ quiet defiance, from Elkanah’s changed walking route to Raoul Wallenberg’s forged passports, history is reshaped by individuals who cared enough to act.
Each of us is that “breeze” a gentle but decisive force nudging another soul toward light, dignity, and hope. The shofar calls us not to despair at the scale of the world’s darkness, but to rise with courage, to see that every mitzvah matters, and to live as though even one small act can tilt the future. This Rosh Hashanah, the call is clear: be the breeze that shifts the course of another’s life.
Key Takeaways
- Small Acts Matter: World-changing moments often begin with the smallest gestures, a smile, a word of encouragement, an invitation to Shabbat.
- History Turns on the Individual: From scientists to prophets, seamstresses to diplomats, one person’s choice has often redirected the course of nations.
- Jewish Legacy of Influence: The story of Elkanah and Shmuel teaches that our steps, words, and presence ripple far beyond what we see.
- Moral Courage is Contagious: Rosa Parks’ bus seat and Wallenberg’s forged passports remind us that courage inspires movements.
- The Shofar’s Call: Rosh Hashanah summons us to battle despair with action, to hear the call of responsibility, and to know that every soul counts.

Rabbi Yisroel Bernath recorded this sermon before Rosh Hashana as he was preparing and we are sharing it with you... of course its nothing close to the magic of Rosh Hashana at Chabad NDG in Montreal.
In this Rosh Hashanah sermon, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath weaves humor, Torah, and Jewish resilience into a message of hope and renewal. Beginning with laughter, he acknowledges the fears weighing on the Jewish heart today, rising antisemitism, uncertainty, and the heaviness of history. But he reminds us that the Jewish story begins not with despair, but with laughter: the birth of Yitzchak to Abraham and Sarah. Through a transformation of identity and vision, G-d teaches them, and us, that our destiny is not defined by the past but pulled by the promise of the future.
The sermon moves through stories of Jewish survival, historical cathedrals, personal anecdotes, and Sheldon Adelson’s shoes in Jerusalem, all to paint a vivid picture: we are builders of a spiritual architecture that spans generations. Each mitzvah is a chisel, each act of faith a brick, each Jew a builder. And above all, our answer to fear and hatred has always been joy.
Key Takeaways
- Identity Shapes Destiny
Abraham and Sarah became parents only after G-d changed their names, showing us that how we see ourselves changes how we live. - History Pulled by Promise, Not Pushed by the Past
Jewish survival isn’t logical, it’s miraculous. Our story isn’t driven by yesterday’s pain but by tomorrow’s promise. - Laughter as Our Legacy
The first Jewish child was named Yitzchak, laughter, teaching us that joy and hope are the foundation of Jewish life. - Generational Builders
Like the cathedrals built over centuries, Jewish life is a project carried forward by every generation. Each mitzvah is part of a vast spiritual architecture. - Joy as Resistance
When the world says to give up, we laugh. When it says to despair, we believe. Our answer to hatred has always been love, laughter, and building.

Sometimes it takes a crisis to stop us in our tracks and ask: Who am I? What kind of spouse am I? What kind of person am I becoming?
On Rosh Hashanah, Judaism invites us to ask these very questions. And at the heart of the holiday is a mysterious, beloved prayer: Hayom Harat Olam, “Today the world is born.”
But did you know? The same phrase appears in the Book of Jeremiah with an opposite meaning, not birth, but never being born at all. Why would our sages choose such a paradox for the High Holidays?
In this inspiring High Holiday sermon, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath takes us on a journey through:
- The prophet Jeremiah’s cry of despair
- The Netziv’s life-changing decision as a child
- Michelangelo’s challenge to Raphael: Amplius,Think bigger!
- The shofar’s call for authentic self-expression
- The hidden Jewish spark that even Soviet oppression couldn’t extinguish
This Rosh Hashanah, the shofar asks each of us: Will you live as an echo, or will you give birth to your true self?
Key Takeaways
- Rosh Hashanah is not only the birthday of the world, it’s the birthday of your world. Each year, we can choose to start anew.
- Harat Olam has two meanings: remaining unborn potential or becoming a living expression of your G-d-given gifts.
- The shofar rejects echoes… it calls us to live authentically, not as faint imitations of who we’re meant to be.
- Amplius, Think bigger! Don’t live small when your canvas is vast.
- Every Jew has a hidden spark… no matter how distant, it can be awakened in a single moment of courage, connection, or faith.

In this class, Rabbi Bernath reframed the very idea of confession in Judaism. While most people think of confession as listing sins and failures, the Torah introduces Vidui Ma’aser, a “confession” where the farmer proudly declares to G-d that he has fulfilled every detail of the mitzvah of tithing. Why would the Torah call this a confession? Because true spiritual growth begins not by beating ourselves down, but by acknowledging the good we’ve done. When we confess our strengths, we build the confidence and clarity to face our shortcomings without despair.
Confession, then, isn’t meant to break us, it’s meant to fix us. It’s not about shame; it’s about uncovering the truth that we are divine souls who sometimes fall short but are always capable of rising higher. By celebrating our goodness first, we create the spiritual courage to transform our failures into growth.
Key Takeaways
- Confession in Judaism isn’t only about failure: The Torah’s “tithing confession” is actually a declaration of success.
- Celebrate your victories: By verbalizing what you’ve done right, you strengthen your belief in your own holiness and capacity.
- Healthy confession = owning both sides: “I am good and capable, and that’s why this mistake doesn’t fit me, and I can do better.”
- Encouragement inspires growth: Just as children thrive when parents highlight strengths before weaknesses, we too change more when we see ourselves through the lens of goodness.
- Chassidic joy in confession: Like the Baal Shem Tov’s cantor, we can sing our confessions, not out of arrogance or denial, but because cleansing the soul is a joyful act of uncovering diamonds beneath the dirt.
- Confession challenge: In the next 24 hours, “confess” something good you’ve done, out loud, to yourself or someone you trust. Let it remind you who you really are.

In this week’s Torah portion, Ki Seitzei, we learn the law of the firstborn: even if the firstborn son comes from the “unloved” wife, he must be given the double portion. Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explored the deeper Kabbalistic meaning behind this law, revealing that the “beloved” and “unloved” wives are metaphors for two sides of our soul — the inspired, G-d-loving self and the struggling, conflicted self. The Torah teaches that our greatest spiritual “firstborn” often emerges from the parts of ourselves we might despise. By working with our struggles, we can produce a “double portion” of light and blessing, more precious to G-d than what comes easily.
Key Takeaways
- Two Souls Within: We each have a “beloved” side (our Divine soul) and an “unloved” side (our animal soul) — both are part of our relationship with G-d.
- The Power of Struggle: G-d delights not only in saintly ease but especially in the victories that come from our inner battles.
- A Double Portion: What feels despised in us can be the source of double blessing when transformed.
- Self-Compassion: Instead of hating our struggles, we can embrace them as the very reason we were created (Tanya ch. 27).
- Messianic Promise: In the era of Moshiach, the hidden “firstborn” light of our struggles will be revealed in full splendor.

Rabbi Yisroel Bernath unpacks a fascinating teaching: why does G-d reject the idea of a single-stone altar? At first glance it’s just about ancient rituals, but the deeper message is timeless. Real faith and real life can’t be built on “one stone” one path, one perspective, one style. True oneness comes from many stones joined together. This class explores how individuality and diversity aren’t just tolerated by G-d, they are essential to His plan.
Key Takeaways
- Oneness ≠ sameness: G-d is One, but He created a world of diversity.
- The danger of single-stone thinking: When we make faith, truth, or life only in our image, we exclude everyone else.
- The power of many stones: Each person carries a unique piece of truth, and together we make the divine symphony whole.
- Celebrating difference: Authentic spirituality means honoring the uniqueness of others, not fearing it.
- Practical takeaway: Stop trying to make others fit your mold; instead, see how their “stone” adds to the altar of life.

The 5-Step Program of Spiritual Courtship, Engagement, Marriage, Honeymoon, and Real Life: Discovering the Divine Romance in Our LivesIn this sermon, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores the deep and mystical relationship between G-d and the Jewish people, likened to a sacred marriage. Drawing from Kabbalistic and Chassidic teachings, Rabbi Bernath delves into the spiritual phases of this divine union, paralleling it with the milestones of human relationships: courtship, engagement, marriage, honeymoon, and the day-to-day reality of married life. Through the lens of the High Holiday season, this episode offers a journey of rejuvenating our connection with G-d, culminating in the ultimate intimacy that shapes our everyday existence.
Takeaways:
- Courtship with G-d: The month of Elul as a time of divine dating, where G-d meets us in our natural state, inviting us to connect authentically.
- Engagement Proposal: Rosh Hashanah as the moment of commitment, where G-d proposes a deeper relationship, and we respond with the cry of the Shofar.
- Marriage Ceremony: Yom Kippur as the day of divine union, where we fast, atone, and solidify our eternal bond with G-d.
- Celebration and Intimacy: The festivals of Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret, and Simchat Torah as the celebration and intimate consummation of our relationship with the Divine.
- Real-Life Relationship: The month of Cheshvan as the time to nurture our ongoing relationship with G-d in the everyday moments, discovering the sacred in the ordinary.

In this class, Rabbi Bernath drew a powerful line from Hitler’s Germany to Hamas today, using a hidden diary entry of the Lubavitcher Rebbe dated September 11, 1941. The Rebbe reflected on why kosher fish require both fins and scales, teaching that these symbolize two essential traits for Jewish life: ambition (fins) and integrity (scales).
-Nazi Germany had ambition without integrity — brilliance used for destruction.
-Radical Islam represents integrity without ambition — piety warped into death and stagnation.
-The Jewish mission is to embody both: to live with moral armor and to harness our talents fully, so we don’t just survive, we shine.
The lesson is timeless: G-d doesn’t only want us to be “good”; He wants us to transform the world with goodness, courage, and light.
Key Takeaways
- Integrity without ambition leads to stagnation or fanaticism.
- Ambition without integrity leads to brilliance that destroys.
- A kosher life = both: moral protection (scales) + bold drive (fins).
- Jewish history and today’s crises prove: our task is to shine with values intact.
- G-d calls us not only to resist evil, but to increase Torah, life, and light.

I just returned from the JLI Retreat in Washington DC, at retreat at around 1:30am on Saturday night, I sat down with Jeffrey Warner, a university student from Arizona who has been listening to my podcasts for a long time. Our conversation about life, love, relationships, and so much more was raw and real, the kind of talk that reminds you what it means to be human.
Jeffrey brought honesty, courage, and an open heart to this dialogue. We explored the struggles and joys that come with being young, building relationships, and searching for purpose. It’s not polished, it’s not scripted, it’s simply real. And I’m so excited for you to spend this time with us.
Support Jeffrey and His Family
Jeffrey’s story doesn’t end with this conversation. His family is facing a heartbreaking reality. In September 2024, his father suffered a stroke that left him paralyzed, while his mother continues her long battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Both now require 24/7 care. Jeffrey and his siblings, all full-time students, are doing everything they can to keep their parents safe and supported, but the need is overwhelming.
If this conversation touched you, please consider helping Jeffrey and his family in this urgent time of need.

Why was Joseph, the viceroy of Egypt, buried in the Land of Israel, while Moses, the greatest Jewish leader in history, was not?
In this timely and emotionally-charged class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath unpacks a Midrashic conversation between Moses and G-d that reveals something deeper than geography: the power of Jewish identity without shame. Joseph never let go of his roots, even when it cost him everything. Moses, for reasons of his own, allowed others to misidentify him.
What emerges is not a critique, but a calling.
This is a class about Eretz Yisroel, yes. But it’s also a class about spiritual backbone, about moral clarity, and about what it means to be a proud Jew in a world that often wants us to shrink.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Being “too Jewish” is never the problem, being disconnected is.
Joseph’s merit was his unapologetic loyalty to Israel, even in exile.
Spiritual identity is not something we rent. It’s who we are.
Moses was not punished, he simply wasn’t a fit for a mission he didn’t fully embody.
Today, being a Joseph means embracing our role as G-d’s ambassadors, even in the toughest rooms.
Israel is not just a land—it’s the soul’s homeland. Even from across the globe, we are rooted there.
When we stop apologizing for our presence, our light begins to shine.

onight, in a darkened room lit only by the soft flicker of individual candles, over a hundred souls gathered in sacred stillness for Eicha by Candlelight. This was not just an event, it was a ritual of remembrance, a meditation on exile, and a quiet act of spiritual defiance.
Rabbi Yisroel Bernath opened the evening with a heart-stirring monologue, inviting us not to perform grief, but to hold it. To slow down. To soften. To sit low with history and let the silence speak.
Rabbi Yosh Berkowicz then chanted Megillat Eicha, Lamentations, in its original Hebrew, each verse a cry from the Prophet Jeremiah that echoed through centuries of loss—and resilience. Participants followed along in English, or simply let the rhythm wash over them like waves of collective memory.
Following the reading, Rabbi Bernath led a reflective journey through Jewish history, from the destruction of both Temples to the Crusades, from the Spanish Expulsion to the Holocaust—framing Tisha B’Av not only as a night of mourning, but as an ongoing thread of survival and spiritual resistance.
A deeply moving segment explored the story of the Conversos—Jews forced to hide their faith in 15th-century Spain. Their secret fasts, their quiet mitzvot, and their admiration for Queen Esther became metaphors for our own inner strength. Esther, the hidden heroine, became theirs—and perhaps ours.
From there, the group entered a sacred space of reflection with personal prompts. Participants journaled, sat in silence, or shared memories and prayers aloud in a gentle, optional open-mic circle. Candles flickered. Tears flowed. And still—hope rose.
Three Prophets, Three Eichas, One Call to Action
Rabbi Bernath wove together the three biblical voices that cry out “Eicha”—Moses, Isaiah, and Jeremiah. Each saw the Jewish people at a different point: in their dignity, in their moral decline, and in their devastation.
Each Eicha reminds us: the question isn’t just historical, it’s existential.
“How can I carry this alone?”
“How can it be that righteousness has been replaced by ruin?”
And…
“How can it be that a holy city sits in desolation?”
The Rebbe taught that we are the answer. That we must turn the Eicha of exile into the Eicha of leadership. That each of us is a shliach, a messenger, charged with rebuilding—one mitzvah, one soul, one light at a time.
As the evening closed, Rabbi Bernath reminded us:
“We’ve sat together in the ruins. We’ve cried the ancient cries.
But we’re not meant to live in sorrow.
We are the generation of redemption.”
May this year’s fast be the last one in exile.
May we merit to read the next scroll with joy.
Together. In Jerusalem rebuilt.

On the night of the 9th of Av, our ancestors cried tears of despair—tears the Talmud calls “בכיהשלחנם”, baseless weeping. G-d’s response wasn’t punitive, it was prophetic: “You wept in vain, and this day will be one of tears for generations.” But what were they really crying about? And why do we still cry?
This class explores the roots of generational trauma in the Jewish psyche, from the fear of the spies to the quiet despair echoing through the Jewish community today. We'll dive deep into the psychological and spiritual scars left by centuries of exile, oppression, and self-doubt and discover how fear can shape reality more powerfully than facts.
Using Torah, Talmud, Chassidut, and modern psychological insight, we’ll unpack how vain tears become real sorrow—and how breaking the cycle starts with reclaiming our Divine power. From elephants in the circus to Harvard psychology experiments, this session will challenge you to reframe your internal narrative, discard inherited limitations, and begin the long-awaited journey from grief to redemption.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- The Origin of Tisha B’Av: Understand the deeper meaning behind the “vain tears” of our ancestors and why this night became one of generational grief.
- Trauma as Inheritance: Discover how Jewish despair today is often rooted not in current events, but in stories, beliefs, and fears passed down through generations.
- The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Learn how our perception of self shapes our destiny—and why seeing ourselves as grasshoppers ensures others will too.
- From Powerlessness to Purpose: Gain tools to shift from victimhood to empowerment, and how G-d never asks us to face a challenge without first giving us the strength to overcome it.
- Healing the Diaspora Spirit: Explore how our generation can begin to break the cycle of inherited fear and transform Tisha B’Av into a festival of light.

This class explores one of the Torah’s most striking rebukes, Moses’ fiery confrontation with the tribes of Reuben and Gad and uncovers why they chose silence over self-defense. Through this encounter and a powerful Chassidic story about the Sefas Emes, Rabbi Bernath examines why we often recoil at criticism and how to reframe it as a holy opportunity for growth.
From Moses to modern marriage, from a misunderstood heretic to the Maggid of Mezritch, we dive into the soul’s secret defense system and how to disarm it with self-worth, humility, and Chassidic wisdom.
Takeaways:
- The power of silence: Sometimes, it’s more spiritually transformative to listen to criticism than to justify ourselves, especially when it comes from someone wise.
- Criticism doesn’t define you: When you know your core worth, you can absorb criticism without collapsing.
- Not all rebuke is rejection: Moses’ rebuke was intense, but it came from leadership and love.
- Marriage tip: Your spouse’s critique might not be a judgment, it might be a chance to expand your perspective.
- The Maggid’s wisdom: True self-esteem is found when neither praise nor criticism defines your value.
- Criticism is holy rain: It should nourish, not erode. But to receive it, we need rooted self-worth.

In this eye-opening session, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores one of the most profound and misunderstood topics of all time: What is G-d? Moving beyond simplistic childhood images of a supernatural sky-being, we delve into Jewish, Chassidic, philosophical, and even scientific perspectives on the Divine. Drawing from thinkers like Einstein and the Alter Rebbe, this class gently unpacks a paradoxical truth: G-d is not less than personal, but also infinitely more than any person. Whether you’re a believer, skeptic, or somewhere in between, this is a class that will stretch your mind and open your heart.
Takeaways:
Not All “G-ds" Are the Same
The God that many reject may not be the G-d Torah and Kabbalah actually describe.
Beyond Supernatural vs. Natural
Judaism sees G-d not as a supernatural being outside nature, but as the source and essence of all existence, both within and beyond nature.
Personal and Infinite
G-d is not a person, but also not less than personal. The Divine is both the cosmic Author and the intimate Listener.
Language & Metaphor Matter
The Torah uses varied metaphors to relate to G-d, each revealing a facet, none capturing the whole.
G-d Is Experienced, Not Just Explained
You may not "prove" G-d like a theorem—but you can encounter G-d in awe, in kindness, in Torah, and in the quiet moments of the soul.

In this gripping journey through Parshat Balak, Rabbi Bernath reveals the hidden spiritual war behind the political drama. Balak, king of Moav, turns to the infamous prophet Bilaam to curse Israel—but instead, Bilaam becomes an unwitting conduit for some of the most beautiful blessings in Torah. From the fall of Sichon and Og to the rise of Pinchas, this class explores how even our enemies testify to our eternal strength—and how every darkness can be transformed into light.
Takeaways
Spiritual Warfare: The real battle wasn’t fought with swords, it was waged in the heavens. Balak understood the power of spiritual energy and tried to use it against the Jews.
Power of Blessing: Bilaam, despite himself, delivered the deepest praises of the Jewish people, because truth isn’t controlled by ego, but by G-d.
The Danger Within: When external curses failed, Bilaam exploited internal weakness—seduction and immorality. The greatest danger often comes from within.
Transformation is Inevitable: Even klipah (spiritual husks) serve holiness in the end. Bilaam’s blessings live on—while his plots fade into oblivion.
Identity is Non-Negotiable: The Jewish soul cannot be cursed. Our truth is eternal, our connection Divine, and our mission unshakable—even our enemies admit it.

In this heart-open, mind-stretching class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath dives headfirst into one of the most profound questions ever asked: Who wrote the Torah and what do we mean by G-d? Sparked by a challenge from Ilana, a thoughtful soul who just "won the raffle" and then handed Rabbi Bernath some of the hardest theological questions he's faced, this class isn't a debate, it’s a bridge. Drawing from Torah, Talmud, Rambam, Tanya, Harari, Einstein, Spinoza, and Chassidic mystics, we explore traditional belief, academic scholarship, and the honest soul-searching that sits between them.
Is the Torah a divine blueprint or a human masterpiece? Or… could it be both?
Together, we walk a path between Sinai and the seminar room, from ancient revelation to modern doubt and discover that sometimes, the questions themselves are the invitation to a deeper relationship with truth.
Key Takeaways:
- Traditional Belief Holds Depth: Torah mi-Sinai means Moses recorded divine revelation over 40 years. It's not simplistic, it’s layered and deeply rooted in Jewish collective memory.
- Modern Scholarship Brings Honest Challenges: Thinkers like Harari argue that the Torah was assembled over centuries, reflecting political and social needs. These critiques must be addressed, not ignored.
- Kabbalah and Chassidus Provide a Bridge: Divine revelation doesn’t exclude human expression. The Torah flowed through Moses’ voice and personality, G-d worked with human vessels.
- Assumptions Shape Interpretation: Believers and skeptics alike interpret the same data through different axioms. Acknowledging this fosters respectful dialogue rather than defensiveness.
- The Torah’s Endurance Is Itself a Testament: Its moral vision, power to unite, and enduring relevance across time and culture hint at something more than human genius, it points toward the Divine.
- This Is Not About “Winning” an Argument: It’s about honesty, humility, and the courage to explore big questions together.
- The Torah Is a Living Document: Beyond history or philosophy, Torah continues to speak—not just inform, but transform. That may be its greatest proof of all.

-
I hope you are well.
This Wednesday marks something deeply personal for me and Sara.
Exactly 20 years ago, we arrived in Montreal with a few suitcases, a tiny apartment… and one big, beating dream:
To build a Jewish home for anyone who needed one.
Not just a synagogue.
Not just programs.
But a place filled with warmth, love, and belonging for every soul.
In those early days, we ran school workshops and young professional events, saying yes to every opportunity to bring a little more light into the world.
And then 17 years ago, we opened our own little centre in NDG.
That dream — it grew.
Today, thanks to the incredible community we’ve built together, that small seed has become something beautiful:
-JMontreal our matchmaking service (212 engagements and counting!)
-A Jewish centre where everyone is welcome.
-Montreal’s only Jewish shelter for young adults in crisis
-Mental health and life coaching for those struggling
-A hospitable oasis for Jewish Students facing anti-semitism at Concordia.
Some of you know me from Instagram or the Kosher Love documentary.
But this… this is the heart of my life’s work.
And now, we’re dreaming even bigger.
We want to grow the shelter.
Support more young people.
Make more matches.
Create more space for joy, healing, and Jewish connection.
But we can’t do it alone.
That’s why I’m writing to you today.
This Wednesday, our 20-year anniversary is also the last day to buy a raffle ticket.
Your ticket is more than a donation. It’s a vote of confidence.
It says: "I believe in this. I want this to grow."
And yes, you can also win big!
Buy your raffle ticket here
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this journey.
Let’s build the next 20 years — together.
With love and gratitude,
Rabbi Yisroel Bernath
P.S. If you’ve already bought tickets — thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Your support means the world to us, and you’re helping us make this dream grow stronger every single day.
Please consider forwarding this email to a friend who might also want to be part of something meaningful.

In this deep and soulful journey through Parshat Chukas, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath unpacks one of the most perplexing and powerful moments in the Torah: the copper snake on a pole.
Why did G-d command Moses to use the very symbol of suffering, the snake, as a healing instrument? What does it mean that people had to look up at the snake to be cured?
Through timeless Jewish wisdom, vulnerable personal insight, and psychological depth, Rabbi Bernath explores the mystery of pain, the challenge of resilience, and the spiritual art of transforming darkness into light. You’ll walk away with a new perspective on your own struggles and perhaps, a new path to healing.
Key Takeaways:
Transformation, Not Avoidance:
True healing doesn’t come from avoiding our pain, but from facing it with courage and elevating it with meaning.
The Snake Above vs. the Snake Below:
The same experience can be seen from a higher or lower perspective. One brings despair; the other, depth.
The Poison Is the Cure:
Just like antivenom is made from venom, your healing may emerge from the very thing that once hurt you.
Don’t Run, Look Up:
When we stop running from the “snakes” in our lives and look upward—to G-d, to our higher selves—we discover the blessing buried in the bite.
Every Crisis Holds a Blessing:
Like Jacob wrestling the angel, we can say to our struggle: “I will not let you go until you bless me.” That’s Jewish resilience.
You Are Sacred Even in Pain:
Sometimes the deepest truth is not an answer to your question, but the awareness that your soul is Divine, loved, and never alone.

In this gripping class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath delves into the tragic and turbulent rebellion led by Korach, Dathan, Abiram, and On ben Peles against Moses and Aaron. The narrative unveils not just a mutiny, but a masterclass in leadership, humility, and boundless love for even the most stubborn opponents.
Through an exploration of four key episodes involving Dathan and Abiram, Rabbi Bernath uncovers their long history of discord and defiance. Yet the class’s emotional apex comes with Moses’ unexpected final act: rising to personally appeal to his bitterest enemies, even after G-d commanded their separation. Why? Because Moses could never give up on the potential for peace—even with those who never sought it.
Drawing from the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s insights on Parshas Korach, this class challenges us to ask: When is the pursuit of unity too much? And what makes someone truly worthy of leadership?
Takeaways:
- True Leadership Is Relentless Love:
Moses teaches us that real leadership isn’t about titles or power, it’s about never giving up on people, even those who oppose you. - Some Quarrels Are Lifelong—Still, We Try:
Dathan and Abiram weren’t new to conflict; they had a history of opposition. Yet Moses still pursued peace, one last time. - “Do Not Keep Up a Quarrel” Isn’t Just a Nice Idea—It’s a Lifesaving One:
The Talmud’s teaching, rooted in Moses’ actions, reminds us that unity is sacred—even if it means swallowing our pride. - The Power of One Final Attempt:
“Moses stood up and went to Dathan and Abiram.” That one verse becomes a model for all of us: Don’t assume it’s too late to make peace. - We Each Carry a Spark of Moses:
As the Tanya teaches, every Jew carries a part of Moses’ soul. That means we each have the capacity to rise above ego and reach out in peace. - Peace Doesn’t Mean Passivity:
Pursuing peace doesn’t mean tolerating abuse, it means knowing when to fight injustice and when to humble yourself for healing.

On the night of Tisha B’Av, the Jewish people cried out of fear, not from a real threat, but from a perceived one. That night became a tragic turning point in our history, not because of a divine punishment, but because fear itself became the seed of generations of sorrow.
This class explores the deeper meaning of those "vain tears" through Torah, psychology, and metaphor. From the self-fulfilling prophecy of the spies, to Harvard's famous "Rosenthal Experiment," to the chained circus elephant who forgot her strength, we see how fear and self-image can imprison entire generations.
But we are no longer that generation. We are living in a time of healing and empowerment. This Tisha B’Av, we are called to rewrite the script. To cry no more. To rise with resolve. To finally break free and bring healing, light, and redemption to our world.
Key Takeaways:
Fear isn’t always logical, but it’s always powerful.
Even miracles won’t help if we don’t believe in ourselves.
Vain tears become real pain.
When we cry over imagined powerlessness, we invite genuine suffering, because we surrender our G-d-given strength.
We see ourselves as grasshoppers and so does the world.
The way we perceive ourselves shapes how others treat us.
Belief creates reality.
Like elephants chained by false memories, we stay stuck not because we are weak, but because we think we are.
This is the age of healing.
We’re not grasshoppers. We’re not victims. We are a generation with tools, strength, and clarity. It’s time to remember who we are.
Tisha B’Av will be transformed.
With courage, truth, and unity, even our day of weeping will become a day of joy, with the coming of Moshiach.

In this weeks class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath reveals the Torah’s timeless wisdom for navigating today’s anxious, high-speed world. Rooted in a single verse from Parshat Behaalotecha, we uncover how the cloud that guided the Jewish people through the desert wasn’t just GPS, it was G-d’s embrace, offering a blueprint for emotional resilience. Drawing on deep Talmudic insight, the story of the Mishkan, and modern-day inspiration like the heroism of Natan Sharansky, this class is a journey into the eye of the storm… where true serenity lives.
Takeaways:
The "Magic Pill" for Stress: A single Torah verse can reframe your entire emotional state.

In this deeply moving and timely class, Rabbi Bernath opens with a heartfelt prayer for the victims of the Boulder attack and a reminder that silence in the face of evil is complicity. From the courtroom of Judgment at Nuremberg to the Torah portion of Naso, we journey through history, law, and soul.
We explore the legacy of Joseph, alone, enslaved, and tempted and how a single vision of his father reminded him: One action changes everything.
Joseph, who kept Shabbat even in Egypt, is rewarded not with rest but with purpose, his descendant offering a sacrifice on Shabbat itself, transforming a personal act into a communal revelation.
With wisdom from the Lubavitcher Rebbe and reflections on our divine spark, we are reminded that every choice we make is a nuclear reaction of holiness. We are not small. We are not powerless. We are G-d’s partners in redeeming this world.
Key Takeaways
We begin with a prayer for those wounded and shaken by the hate-fueled Anti-Jewish violence in Boulder. We must never grow numb to evil nor dismiss the power of standing up for what's right.
Moral failure begins the moment we excuse the first injustice. As seen in Nuremberg and echoed in our lives, passivity is complicity.
Joseph’s strength came not from Torah laws, but from internalizing his worth. His vision of Jacob, representing all of humanity reminded him that his actions mattered deeply.
You are not a chemical reaction, you are a nuclear reaction. One spark of holiness from you can ripple outward infinitely.
Keeping Shabbat in Egypt wasn’t just ritual—it was a declaration: Even in exile, I matter. Even in isolation, my light changes the world.
You are the world. As the Lubavitcher Rebbe taught: One human, one deed, one moment, can shake the heavens and awaken redemption.

In this special post-Shabbat sermon recorded for Shavuot, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath takes us on a profound journey through the remarkable history of the Sassoon Codex and the legendary Crown of Aram Tzova. Woven into this tale of ink and parchment is a modern miracle: the voice of a mother reaching her daughter in captivity, reminding us that the Torah is not just a relic, but a living pulse of our people.
From ancient scribes in Tiberias to secret hiding spots in Aleppo, from destruction to redemption, from loss to legacy, Rabbi Bernath reveals how the Jewish People have never just studied the Torah, we’ve carried it. We’ve risked our lives to protect it. And today, as we stand at the foot of Sinai once more, we are called to do the same.
Key Takeaways:
- The Torah is Not History… It’s Memory:
Unlike history, which belongs to the past, memory shapes the present. The Torah is our collective memory and it calls us to live with responsibility and purpose. - The Crown is More Than a Book:
The story of the Crown of Aram Tzova reflects the Jewish people’s fierce dedication to Torah. It symbolizes dignity, identity, and spiritual sovereignty. - Miracles Happen When We Stay Connected:
Agam Berger’s story reminds us that even in darkness, light can pierce through. The Torah isn’t just letters on parchment, it’s a lifeline, a soul-connector. - Torah is Our Crown—But We Must Guard It:
Just as communities once locked the Crown in an iron chest, we too must fiercely protect our values, our faith, and our unity. - Shavuot is Our Coronation Day:
Every year, we place the crown back on our heads. Torah is not a heritage we visit, it’s a legacy we live.

What if the future of Judaism depended not on scholars or sages, but on the sippy cups and crayon-covered siddurim of our children?
This powerful class dives into one of the most striking Midrashim about the giving of the Torah: when G-d demanded a guarantor, our ancestors suggested the elders, the prophets, the leaders and were rejected. Only when they offered the children did G-d say: Now we have a deal.
But why children? Why not the tzaddikim, the scholars, the sages? And what does it mean that our children were the only "acceptable" security on the Torah?
Together, we’ll explore a deeply moving interpretation shared by the Lubavitcher Rebbe in 5712 (1952), tracing how this Midrash contains the blueprint for Jewish continuity and our most urgent modern-day call to action.
Through Torah, history, poetry, and tears, this class reminds us: if we want Judaism tomorrow, we must invest in our children today.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
G-d Doesn’t Want Retirement Religion:
Torah isn’t just for the nostalgic elderly or even for the rabbis, it’s for every Jew, of every age and stage.
Children Are the True Guarantors:
When young hearts taste the sweetness of Torah, it becomes a lifelong imprint—and they end up teaching us.
Jewish Education is National Security:
Teachers are the true defenders of our people. Want to protect the Jewish future? Start by elevating Jewish schools.
From Silence to Ruckus:
After the Holocaust, there were no children left to make noise in shul. Today, we must cherish every giggle, every running step, every whispered Shema because that is the sound of eternity.
Show Up at Sinai—Again:
The custom of bringing children to hear the Ten Commandments on Shavuos is not symbolic it’s covenantal. Without them, we can’t receive the Torah anew.

In the aftermath of October 7, Jews around the world experienced a surge of emotion and identity—an outpouring of Jewish adrenaline. But as the energy fades, the real question emerges: what does it actually mean to live a meaningful Jewish life?
Rabbi Bernath draws from Dan Senor’s "State of World Jewry" Speech and 92Y last week, A.B. Yehoshua’s challenge to diaspora Jews, and the timeless answers offered by our prophets and sages—from King David to the Rebbe. He reminds us that Jewish life isn’t about where you live, but how you live: with integrity, with mitzvos, with visible Jewish pride.
Rooted in this week’s Parshah, the sermon invites us to reclaim the mitzvos that affirm who we are in a world trying to forget us—and reminds us that the most radical act of Jewish survival is living Jewish every single day.
Key Takeaways:
- October 8th Jews Need More than Adrenaline: Emotional response to tragedy must evolve into sustainable Jewish living—rooted in action, not just feeling.
- Geography Isn’t Identity: Living in Israel doesn’t automatically make one Jewish in practice. Living Jewishly—through mitzvot and moral clarity—does.
- Our Prophets Knew the Secret: King David, Isaiah, Micah, and Chavakuk each distilled Judaism to its ethical essence, but only because ritual was then a given. In exile, the inverse is true—we must rebuild our ritual identity.
- The Rebbe’s Mitzvah Campaign Echoes the Prophets: Strategic mitzvot like tefillin, Shabbat candles, and kosher aren’t just practices—they are declarations of identity.
- We Must Lead Jewish Lives—Loudly and Proudly: In today’s world, being visibly Jewish is an act of courage and continuity. This is our generation’s mission.

In the shadow of the tragic murder of two young Israeli diplomats, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, who dedicated their lives to peace, we confront the heart-wrenching questions: Are we still the Chosen People? Can we still believe in humanity when humanity seems to fall apart? This week’s Torah portion, Bechukotai, addresses blessings and brutal curses, followed by the surprising laws of erchin, evaluating human worth. From this strange juxtaposition, Chassidic masters draw a powerful truth: even after unspeakable loss, the value of a human soul remains eternal and divine. Through stories of survival and sacred resistance, from Auschwitz to Washington D.C. we rediscover that our calling is not diminished by darkness, but rather revealed by it. This class is dedicated to the memory of Yaron and Sarah, may G-d avenge their blood.
Takeaways:
- The antidote to darkness is dignity. The Torah teaches us that even after curses, we must return to affirming the value of each soul.
- Giving heals. The symbolic 143 shekel of erchin counters the 143 curses, showing the power of charity and sacred commitment.
- Pain does not diminish worth. Jewish identity is not dependent on external conditions. We remain chosen not despite suffering, but in how we respond to it.
- A moral education saves lives. The solution to violence isn’t only policy—it’s character, conscience, and responsibility to G-d.
- We rise because we remember. From the bloodied streets of exile to the halls of peace diplomacy, the Jewish soul remembers who it is and why it’s here.

Lag B’Omer isn’t just a day for bonfires and bow-and-arrows. It’s the Hilula—the joyous “wedding day”—of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, the mystic who gave us the Zohar and opened the gates of Jewish spiritual consciousness. But why a wedding on the day of someone’s passing? This class explores the paradox at the heart of both life and love: how our greatest limitations can be our most profound doorways to infinity.
We’ll explore Talmudic, Kabbalistic, and Chassidic sources—from the soul-body dynamic, to the power of mitzvot, to why life is likened to a wedding. You’ll discover how the soul’s “marriage” to the body mirrors our own sacred relationships and how Lag B’Omer invites us to celebrate the holiness hidden in the now.
3 Takeaways:
- Life is a Wedding, Not a Waiting Room
Rabbi Shimon taught us to stop postponing joy. Every mitzvah, every act of love, is a divine moment worth celebrating now—not later. - Paradox is the Pathway to Eternity
Through the union of opposites—soul and body, heaven and earth, law and love—we don’t diminish ourselves. We become eternal. - Kabbalah Illuminates the Ordinary
Lag B’Omer marks the unveiling of the soul of Torah, where every halachah becomes a mystical spark and every moment a gateway to the Infinite

In this eye-opening class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores a cryptic Midrash on the tragic deaths of Nadav and Avihu and how it unexpectedly shook the biblical figure of Job. Through this lens, we’ll uncover what this story teaches us about moral responsibility, the danger of silence in the face of injustice, and the timely relevance of speaking up — especially when it’s uncomfortable. With a nod to current events and a dose of Chassidic insight, this session challenges us to rethink what it really means to be a bystander.
Key Takeaways:
-Even silence can be a statement — and sometimes, a dangerous one.
-The Torah invites us to see not only the sin of action, but the sin of inaction.
-Ancient Midrashic voices still speak to modern struggles with injustice and moral clarity.
-Spiritual leadership begins with accountability — even for what we don’t say.
-In a world filled with noise, knowing when to speak can change everything.

In this powerful class on Parshas Tazria, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores why the Torah repeats the phrase “the Kohen shall look.” Drawing on the teachings of the Meshech Chochma, we’ll discover the Torah’s revolutionary approach to healing—not just diagnosing the symptoms, but seeing the entire person. This class reveals the spiritual roots of what modern medicine now calls "holistic care," and challenges us to become more compassionate, wise, and soul-aware in how we view others—and ourselves.
Key Takeaways:
Double Vision: The Torah instructs the Kohen to look twice—once at the affliction, and once at the person—because true healing begins with empathy, not just analysis.
Timing is Everything: There are moments when even truth must wait—for the sake of kindness, joy, and emotional safety.
See the Soul: Before declaring someone “impure,” see their heart. Understand the difference between rebellion and pain, behavior and backstory.
Holistic Before It Was In: Thousands of years before integrative medicine became a buzzword, the Torah already taught us to heal bodies by caring for souls.
Relational Wisdom: Whether in parenting, teaching, or friendships—don’t just fix the problem. See the person behind the problem.

Navigating the choppy waters of our inner Nile, where the Pharaoh of Negative Thought reigns supreme, Rabbi Bernath offers a sage map for the modern soul's Exodus. Picture this: an inner Pharaoh, all ego and no ear, refusing the logic we offer as liberally as matzah at Pesach. It's an ancient tale, yet as current as our latest tweet.
Enter Moshe, our timeless hero, speaking Hebrew to a Pharaoh who's as lost in translation as a tourist without Google Maps. The catch? It's not about the words, but the Divine energy they carry, slicing through stubbornness like a hot knife through butter.
Consider the Chafetz Chaim, whose Yiddish plea melted Polish hearts without a single word understood—a testament to the soul's language, transcending the babble of Babel.
Then there's the 7/38/55 rule, a reminder that our vibes speak louder than our vocabulary. The body's ballet and the tone's tune tell tales our tongues can't touch.
So when faced with our own Pharaoh—be it doubt, fear, or the Sunday Scaries—Rabbi Bernath advises a strategy as bold as it is biblical: Speak in your soul's native tongue. No translation needed. For it's not the clarity of argument, but the purity of our Divine essence, that can topple tyranny within.
In essence, Rabbi Bernath suggests, when logic's light dims and reason's ropes fray, it's time to unfurl the banner of our inherent holiness, declaring our truths in a language beyond words. Like Moshe, we stand before our inner Pharaoh not to debate, but to demonstrate—a conduit of Divine will, unyielding and unfiltered.
In doing so, we don't just speak to our shadows; we illuminate them, transforming the inner Egypt into a land flowing with milk, honey, and the sweet freedom of self-mastery. So let's raise our staffs, part our personal Red Seas, and march towards a promised land of inner peace and purpose, one holy utterance at a time.

In this transformative pre-Passover class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath invites us to reimagine one of the most perplexing passages of the Haggadah—the confrontation with the so-called “wicked” child. At first glance, it seems to suggest aggression. But look again. Beneath the surface lies a profound truth about love, empathy, and the infinite potential within every soul. We explore how the seder is not just about telling a story—it's about healing the parts of ourselves and our loved ones that feel like outsiders. We uncover the inner Tzaddik hiding behind the rebellious exterior, the wisdom in our struggles, and the quiet yet revolutionary power of radical acceptance. The class culminates in a powerful meditation on “Nirtzah”—the moment we stop striving and start trusting that our best is enough.
Key Takeaways:
- Look Beneath the Words – The “wicked” child isn’t wicked. He’s wounded. Real listening means tuning into the cry behind the comment.
- Empathy Over Argument – “Blunt his teeth” isn’t an invitation to silence—it’s a call to go beyond verbal combat and into soulful connection.
- Every Part Belongs – The Four Children represent not just four people, but four parts of ourselves. Don’t exile your Hyde—transform him.
- Rebel ≠ Reject – Even our flaws can be tools for growth. The goal isn’t to eliminate the Yetzer Hara, but to elevate it.
- Your Best Is Enough – The final step of the seder, Nirtzah, is the antidote to “I’m not good enough.” It reminds us: G-d is already pleased. The only one left to convince is ourselves.

Welcome to our special Passover episode, where we explore the profound layers of the Passover Seder, a ceremony that beautifully encapsulates over three millennia of Jewish history and identity. In this episode, we discuss the fifteen steps of the Seder, from Kiddush to the festive meal, and delve into the powerful narratives and symbols that connect us to our ancestors.
We share a humorous yet insightful exchange between a rabbi and an astrophysics professor, which cleverly illustrates the depth of Talmudic study compared to the simplification of complex ideas. The conversation highlights how Jewish traditions and teachings are much more than historical records; they are vibrant memories passed down through generations, forming a continuous link back to the Exodus from Egypt.
We reflect on how the presence of multiple generations at the Seder table turns these historical events into a vivid collective memory, extending back hundreds of years and forward into future gatherings. This episode also touches on the intriguing absence of certain words in Biblical Hebrew, such as "history," which is replaced with "memory" — a concept deeply ingrained in Jewish culture.
Join us as we discuss how the Passover Seder transcends mere historical recounting, acting instead as a dynamic memory that engages with the past as a living part of our present and future. We conclude with a powerful message on transforming pain into blessing, inspired by the life of Henrietta Szold, who turned personal hardship into a legacy of love and humanitarianism.
Main Takeaways:
- The Seder as a Link Across Time: The Passover Seder is not just a ritual but a bridge connecting 3,300 years of Jewish history through family stories and traditions passed down through generations.
- Memory Over History: The episode explores why the Hebrew language prefers the term "memory" over "history," emphasizing personal and collective identity formation through remembered experiences rather than impersonal historical events.
- Cultural Insights: A look at how the absence of certain words in Hebrew, like "history" and "civility," reflects deeper cultural values, with "memory" (zachor) and "chutzpah" taking prominent roles.
- Humor and Wisdom: The interaction between the rabbi and the professor serves as a metaphor for the depth and complexity of Jewish teachings and the importance of continual learning and interpretation.
- Transforming Pain into Blessing: Inspired by Henrietta Szold's story, the episode underscores a fundamental Jewish principle of using perso

The Passover Seder isn’t just a tradition....it’s an invitation. Not just for guests around your table, but for you. An invitation to show up emotionally, spiritually, and vulnerably. This class explores five Seder moments that, when fully embraced, can transform your night from ritual to revolution.
We’ll journey from the cracked matzah to the humble matzah, from our collective memory to our personal growth, from the bitterness of trauma to the sweetness of faith. Discover why incompletion is a gift, how humility is the key to freedom, and why the Seder might just be history’s original group therapy session.
5 Key Takeaways:
- Invite Yourself In
The opening words of the Seder aren’t about inviting others—they’re about inviting yourself. Your full, vulnerable, questioning, present self. This is your moment to enter the story, not as a spectator, but as the protagonist. - Celebrate What’s Broken
Yachatz teaches that brokenness isn’t a defect—it’s a doorway. By honoring what’s missing, we create space for growth, connection, and Divine presence. Real healing begins when we stop pretending to be whole. - You Are Part of a 3,337-Year Legacy
While other civilizations forget, we remember. The power of the Seder is memory with mission: to remind us that no matter where we are, freedom is always the next chapter if we have the courage to write it. - Humility is Freedom’s Secret Ingredient
Matzah isn’t just flat—it’s freeing. The opposite of ego isn’t weakness; it’s openness. Freedom requires the courage to say, “Maybe I don’t know everything.” That humility invites new beginnings. - Freedom Begins in the Heart
Egypt isn’t just a place—it’s a mindset. It’s the voice that says, “This is how it’s always been.” But G-d gave us a hidden “escape hatch”—a shift in perception, a crack of hope, a step toward healing. Your freedom begins when you stop being “right” and start being real.

In the story of the seventh plague, hail, Pharaoh finally admits he was wrong after seeing hail mixed with fire from the sky—a strange and powerful miracle. This moment shows us that even someone as stubborn and self-centered as Pharaoh can have a moment of realization. The mix of fire and ice in the hail represents Pharaoh's personality: cold and unfeeling towards others but fiery and passionate about his own needs.
The reason the plague was hail is significant too. Egypt didn't depend on rain because of the Nile River, so they never looked up and depended on something higher than themselves. This is like Pharaoh's narcissism, where he only depended on himself and never considered a higher power or the needs of others.
However, Pharaoh's realization was short-lived, teaching us that overcoming deep-seated selfishness requires more than just a moment of clarity. It needs a fundamental change in how one views themselves and their place in the world.
Takeaways:
- Self-reflection is crucial: Even the most stubborn person can have moments of clarity. It's important to reflect on our actions and consider their impact on others.
- Empathy over ego: The story teaches the importance of caring for others, not just ourselves. Being aware of others' feelings and needs helps us grow as individuals.
- The role of humility: Recognizing a higher power or something greater than ourselves can help combat selfishness. It's a reminder that we're not the center of the universe.
- Change takes time: True change in character and perspective is not instantaneous; it requires continuous effort and humility.
By learning from Pharaoh's mistake, we're reminded to stay empathetic, humble, and open to change, ensuring we don't fall into the trap of self-obsession.

The Exodus from Egypt was not just a historical event—it was a revolution in human consciousness. Moses didn’t only break the physical chains of slavery; he shattered the psychological and spiritual limitations that kept humanity in bondage. This class explores how the Exodus introduced the language of freedom, inspiring revolutions, civil rights movements, and personal transformation throughout history. We will uncover how the lessons of Pesach continue to empower us to break free from limitations, redefine our identities, and pursue a life of purpose and growth.
Key Takeaways:
- Slavery is a Mentality: The true bondage in Egypt was not just physical but a deeply ingrained mindset of submission and despair.
- The Power of Language: Moses introduced a new vocabulary of freedom, instilling in humanity the idea that change is possible.
- Exodus as a Blueprint: The story of the Exodus has fueled countless movements for justice, from the American Revolution to the Civil Rights movement.
- Personal Redemption: Every time we overcome fear, bad habits, or societal expectations, we reenact the Exodus in our own lives.
- Pesach as an Eternal Spring: Just as Passover must always fall in spring, the message of renewal, hope, and transformation is timeless.

Plato argued that reality is found in perfect, unchanging ideals, while the physical world is merely a flawed reflection. Chassidic thought challenges this notion, asserting that G-d’s presence is found precisely in the imperfect, physical world. Through the lens of this debate, we explored how this idea impacts our relationships, personal growth, and spiritual journey—showing that meaning and divine purpose emerge from engaging with reality as it is, rather than escaping to an idealized version of it.Key Takeaways:
- Plato’s philosophy separates the ideal from the real, placing truth in abstract perfection.
- Kabbalah teaches that G-d’s presence is in the here and now, within life’s imperfections.
- The Torah’s repetition of the Mishkan’s construction emphasizes that holiness is not in a divine blueprint but in human action.
- Growth, relationships, and meaning are found in embracing life’s struggles, not escaping them.
- True beauty is not perfection—it’s the courage to build something holy in an imperfect world.
Notes:
See Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, The Dignity of Difference, for a detailed explanation of this idea of Plato and its impact on Western thought.
"G-d desired a dwelling in the lowly realms" (Midrash Tanchuma, Nasso 16); "This is what man is all about, this is the purpose of his creation and of the creation of all worlds, supernal and ephemeral" (Tanya, chapter 36).

Anti-Semitism is not merely another form of bigotry or racial hatred—it is unique in its universality, its persistence throughout history, and its deep, irrational roots. From Pharaoh to Hitler, from ancient Persia to modern-day university campuses, the Jew has been targeted with a singular, unparalleled intensity. Why? What makes this hatred different from all other hatreds?
This class delves into the core of Jew-hatred, exploring its historical patterns and its spiritual roots. The Talmudic parable of the "mound and the ditch" reveals that anti-Semitism is not simply about economics, politics, or cultural tensions—it is about something much deeper. The world has an innate reaction to the presence of the Jew, a reaction that stems from the unique role that the Jewish people play in history as the bearers of Divine morality.
Through the lens of Torah, the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and a contemporary analysis of world events—including the resurgence of anti-Semitism post-October 7, 2023—this class seeks to answer the unanswerable: Why does the world hate the Jew? And, more
importantly, how should we respond?
Key Takeaways:
- A Hatred Like No Other – Anti-Semitism has persisted for thousands of years across all cultures and ideologies, defying conventional explanations.
- The "Mound and the Ditch" Paradigm – The Talmud describes two types of anti-Semites: those who see Jews as an unwanted obstacle and those who feel an existential void because of Jewish morality.
- The Sinai Connection – The world’s rejection of Jewish existence is linked to our mission as bearers of Divine ethics, which some embrace and others resent.
- Appeasement Does Not Work – History has proven that trying to minimize or hide Jewish identity never quells anti-Semitism; it often exacerbates it.
- The Jewish Response – Strengthening our connection to G-d, embracing Torah and mitzvot, and standing firm in Jewish pride is the only true antidote to anti-Semitism.

- The Setting: After the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, the Jewish people are subjects under King Ahasuerus of Persia. The story begins with the king throwing a grand party, during which Queen Vashti is banished for her refusal to display her beauty to the guests.
- Esther's Rise to Queen: Seeking a new queen, Ahasuerus holds a beauty contest. Esther, a Jewish girl raised by her cousin Mordechai, is chosen despite her reluctance and without revealing her Jewish identity.
- Mordechai's Discovery: Mordechai uncovers a plot to assassinate the king and reports it, saving Ahasuerus's life.
- Haman's Plot: Haman, the prime minister and a Jew-hater, becomes infuriated with Mordechai's refusal to bow to him. He convinces the king to issue a decree to annihilate all Jews on the 13th of Adar.
- Esther's Courage: Upon learning of Haman's decree, Mordechai convinces Esther to intervene. Esther bravely approaches the king, revealing her Jewish identity and exposing Haman's plot.
- The Turn of Events: The king orders Haman's execution on the gallows originally intended for Mordechai. Esther and Mordechai then write a new decree allowing Jews to defend themselves.
- Victory and Celebration: The Jews defeat their enemies across the empire, and the day of their victory, the 14th of Adar, is established as the joyous holiday of Purim, celebrating the miraculous turn of events that saved them.

The Midrash compares Haman’s plot against the Jews to a foolish bird attempting to drain the sea, beakful by beakful. At first glance, this fable highlights the impossibility of eradicating the Jewish people. But upon deeper examination, it reveals the secret of Jewish survival, the core reason for antisemitism, and the unbreakable bond between the Jewish soul and Torah. Haman’s mistake was in thinking that severing Jews from Torah would make them vulnerable to destruction—yet, as history has shown, even when Jews have drifted from their spiritual roots, their intrinsic connection to G-d and Torah remains. This class explores why the Jewish people have endured against all odds and what this means for our own Jewish identity today.
Key Takeaways:
- The Midrash’s Metaphor – Haman’s attempt to destroy the Jews was as foolish as a bird trying to empty an ocean. But why? This metaphor reveals deeper truths about Jewish resilience.
- The Secret of Antisemitism – Haman, like many persecutors throughout history, saw Jewish existence as a threat. Why have so many tyrants sought to destroy the Jewish people?
- The Relationship Between Jews and Torah – The Torah is to Jews what water is to fish. Even when Jews drift, they cannot fully detach from their Divine essence.
- G-d’s ‘Unsuccessful’ Plan – The Midrash states that even G-d could not destroy the Jewish people. What does this mean, and what does it teach us about the Jewish soul?
- Haman’s ‘Final Solution’ – His real plan wasn’t just genocide—it was to dry up the Jewish connection to Torah and assimilate them into Persian society. This strategy failed, just as all others have throughout history.
- The Eternal Bond – The Jews have outlived every empire that sought their destruction, proving that their essence is eternal.
- A Call to Jewish Unity – If a Jew was Jewish enough for Hitler to send to the gas chambers, he is Jewish enough for us to love and embrace. Jewish survival is not just a historical fact—it is a personal responsibility.

Navigating the choppy waters of our inner Nile, where the Pharaoh of Negative Thought reigns supreme, Rabbi Bernath offers a sage map for the modern soul's Exodus. Picture this: an inner Pharaoh, all ego and no ear, refusing the logic we offer as liberally as matzah at Pesach. It's an ancient tale, yet as current as our latest tweet.
Enter Moshe, our timeless hero, speaking Hebrew to a Pharaoh who's as lost in translation as a tourist without Google Maps. The catch? It's not about the words, but the Divine energy they carry, slicing through stubbornness like a hot knife through butter.
Consider the Chafetz Chaim, whose Yiddish plea melted Polish hearts without a single word understood—a testament to the soul's language, transcending the babble of Babel.
Then there's the 7/38/55 rule, a reminder that our vibes speak louder than our vocabulary. The body's ballet and the tone's tune tell tales our tongues can't touch.
So when faced with our own Pharaoh—be it doubt, fear, or the Sunday Scaries—Rabbi Bernath advises a strategy as bold as it is biblical: Speak in your soul's native tongue. No translation needed. For it's not the clarity of argument, but the purity of our Divine essence, that can topple tyranny within.
In essence, Rabbi Bernath suggests, when logic's light dims and reason's ropes fray, it's time to unfurl the banner of our inherent holiness, declaring our truths in a language beyond words. Like Moshe, we stand before our inner Pharaoh not to debate, but to demonstrate—a conduit of Divine will, unyielding and unfiltered.
In doing so, we don't just speak to our shadows; we illuminate them, transforming the inner Egypt into a land flowing with milk, honey, and the sweet freedom of self-mastery. So let's raise our staffs, part our personal Red Seas, and march towards a promised land of inner peace and purpose, one holy utterance at a time.

In this week’s Torah portion, Tetzaveh, we embark on a journey of absence that paradoxically illuminates presence, a mystical dance where what is not seen or heard whispers louder than the clamor of what is. Welcome to "Echoes of the Unseen," an episode that delves into the human penchant for fixating on the missing pieces, rather than the mosaic of abundance that surrounds us.
Imagine, if you will, a family in mourning, enveloped by a community's embrace, yet fixated on the one who failed to show. Or a newly engaged couple, showered with well-wishes, yet stewing over a single absent congratulation. It's a peculiar focus, isn't it? Our hearts, like mischievous sprites, skipping over a hundred hellos to sulk over one silent goodbye.
This brings us to the heart of our Torah reading. In a curious twist of fate, or perhaps divine choreography, Moses, our indefatigable leader, finds his name conspicuously absent from this week's parsha, Tetzaveh. A parsha that ironically, speaks of him more than any other, precisely because he is not mentioned. It's as if by omitting his name, the Torah invites us into a deeper engagement, prompting us to ponder, "Where is Moses?"
The Rebbe, drawing on the insight of the Baal HaTurim, connects this to Moses' selfless plea to be erased from the divine narrative should his people not be forgiven. Thus, in a paradoxical act of presence through absence, Moses' name is etched deeper into the fabric of our collective memory.
And so, as we approach Purim, we encounter another divine irony in the Scroll of Esther. Here, G-d's name is nowhere to be found, yet, like the story of Tetzaveh, G-d's presence is palpable in every line, every turn of fate. This hiddenness serves as a mirror to our lives, where divine orchestration often masquerades as coincidence, inviting us to seek the hidden hand that guides us.
Through the lens of David and Jonathan's story, we are reminded of the potency of what is not said, what is not seen. David, the absent guest at Saul's table, becomes the focal point, his empty seat a silent testament to the turmoil and loyalty that defines his and Jonathan's bond.
"Echoes of the Unseen" invites us to consider how absence shapes our perception, how the unseen and unsaid can sometimes speak the loudest. In the missing names and silent spaces, we find a call to presence, an invitation to see beyond the visible, to listen for the whispers of what is not spoken, and in doing so, perhaps understand the divine and human narratives more profoundly.
So, as we navigate the landscapes of loss and love, let us embrace the peculiar focus, for in the spaces between, in the silence and the absence, lies the potential for deeper connection, understanding, and spiritual awakening.

This week’s Torah portion, Terumah, describes the construction of the Mishkan (Tabernacle) using cedarwood (atzei shitim). But why did Jacob plant these cedars in Egypt 210 years before they were needed? The Midrash, quoted by Rashi, tells us that Jacob foresaw the need for them and instructed his children to take them along when they left Egypt.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe explains that these trees were more than just building materials—they were a source of comfort, resilience, and faith for the Jewish people during their bitter enslavement. Planted by Jacob, they stood as a tangible promise of redemption, whispering to the suffering Israelites that they were not meant to remain in exile forever. Just as the trees endured, so too would the Jewish people.
The lesson extends beyond Egypt: Every generation has its "cedars"—spiritual giants, tzaddikim, and leaders who remind us of our true identity and mission. Like these steadfast trees, they give us strength to transcend exile, stay rooted in our values, and look forward to redemption.
Key Takeaways:
- Long-Term Vision: Jacob's foresight teaches us the power of planning ahead—not just materially, but spiritually.
- Tangible Hope: The cedars were more than trees; they were a physical reminder that exile was temporary and redemption was coming.
- The Role of Leaders: Just as Jacob’s cedars gave the Israelites hope, tzaddikim serve as spiritual cedars, guiding and uplifting us in times of darkness.
- Endurance & Redemption: We, too, carry within us the strength to remain steadfast in our mission, knowing that our journey leads to Moshiach.

This episode dances around the age-old question, "What is Love?", the exploration begins with a universal quandary: the reason we question love's essence often stems from feelings of deficiency—either doubting the love from someone special or facing accusations of insufficient love ourselves. It suggests a poignant truth: we are most inclined to philosophize about love when its presence is questioned or feels lacking, much like no one questions the nature of a pastrami sandwich whilst enjoying one.
The narrative then divides the quest into two lanes: "Am I Loved?" and "Do I Love?", indicating that understanding love's impact on us can illuminate how we express love towards others. Love, as presented, is not an elusive sentiment detected by a mysterious heart's sensor but rather a series of tangible experiences perceived through our senses, validated by actions and expressions that signal to our brains and, consequently, to our hearts, the presence of love.
King Solomon's words in Proverbs "As water reflects a man’s face back to him, so is the heart of one man to another" is invoked to underscore that love, at its core, is a reflection, a reciprocal action that one can feel and recognize through the treatment they receive.
The episode emphasizes that love is fundamentally an action. It shifts the narrative from abstract conceptualization to practical expression, illustrating that love, akin to running or swimming, is defined by its enactment. The Hebrew word for love, "ahavah", rooted in the act of giving, encapsulates this ideology, positing that genuine love must manifest through tangible acts of kindness and care.
The discussion culminates with a divine perspective on love, referencing the commandment to love G-d, not as an emotional imposition but as a directive towards actionable love. This divine instruction echoes the broader theme: love is verified and validated through actions rather than mere feelings or declarations.
Takeaways:
- Love as Reflection and Recognition: We seek the essence of love most acutely when its presence is in doubt. True love, however, is recognized through the actions and treatment we receive and give.
- Love is Action, Not Just Emotion: The essence of love is captured not in abstract contemplation but in concrete actions and behaviors that convey care and affection.
- The Divine Instruction on Love: The command to love God highlights the action-oriented nature of love, pushing us towards deeds of kindness as the true measure of love.
In essence, to question "What is Love?" is to embark on a journey from doubt to action, from introspection to expression, leading us to understand that the truest answer lies in how we act and respond to love in our lives. Love, therefore, is not just a state of being but a series of deliberate, loving actions that reflect our deepest commitments to others.

This week’s sermon reflects on the resilience and unity of our community. The book 'Buried by the Times' sheds light on a past where the Holocaust's truth struggled to find its rightful place in public consciousness, hidden away in the back pages of history's draft. Yet, this story isn't just about what was buried; it's a call to unearth our collective strength and purpose.
Parshat Yitro brings the powerful symbol of the shofar, reminding us that awakening and unity are at the heart of our journey. From the echoes of the Holocaust to the triumphs of the Six-Day War, we've seen the shofar's call to action in our own times, stirring us to remember, to unite, and to act with courage and love.
As we reflect on our history, we see not just the challenges, but the incredible victories and the miracles that have shaped us. These stories teach us that it's not just about surviving; it's about thriving, about taking pride in our identity, and about moving forward with positive action.
Let's carry this spirit into every aspect of our lives, embracing our heritage with joy and a commitment to making a difference. Together, we're not just remembering the past; we're building a future filled with light, learning, and love.

This class explores the seminal Chassidic discourse Basi LeGani, first written by the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, and later expanded upon annually by his successor, the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson. This discourse outlines the purpose of creation: transforming the world into G‑d’s garden, a place of divine presence. It introduces the responsibility of the “Seventh Generation”—our generation—to complete this mission and usher in the final redemption. Through themes of personal transformation, divine revelation, and the power of "holy folly," we uncover the Rebbe's call to action: to bring G‑d’s presence into every aspect of the world.
Key Takeaways:
- The Garden is Our World – Basi LeGani describes G‑d's desire to dwell in this physical world, not just in the heavens. Our task is to make the world a home for Him.
- The Mission of the Seventh Generation – Like Moses, the seventh leader in his lineage, our generation—the seventh since the Alter Rebbe—is tasked with completing the divine plan.
- Transforming Darkness into Light – The discourse emphasizes that our struggles with the “inner animal” are part of the mission; by channeling our desires toward holiness, we refine ourselves and the world.
- Holy Folly – True service of G‑d sometimes requires acting beyond logic, just as the Tabernacle was built from shittim (wood related to shtut, folly). We must counter worldly foolishness with a deeper devotion that transcends reason.
- A Call to Action – The Rebbe’s words demand more than study—they require us to actively bring others closer to Torah and mitzvot, ensuring that no soul is left behind in preparing the world for Moshiach.

On Yud Shevat 5711 (1951), the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi MM Schneerson, revolutionized Jewish leadership. He declared a bold vision, not merely to anticipate Moshiach in a distant future, but to actively work towards this era in our lifetime. This audacious goal was set against the backdrop of post-Holocaust Jewish reality, challenging every Jew to contribute to this ultimate redemption.
The Rebbe's approach to leadership was groundbreaking. He insisted on a partnership model, where he would guide, but each individual was responsible for their own spiritual and worldly contribution. This was exemplified in his Sunday interactions, where the simple act of giving a dollar for charity transformed recipients into 'shluchim,' agents of positive change and personal responsibility.
The essence of the Rebbe's philosophy was beautifully encapsulated in his interaction with Gabriel Erem. Rather than focusing on his own greatness, the Rebbe redirected attention to the potential within every Jew. By redefining 'tzadik' and 'rebbe,' he democratized spiritual greatness, making it accessible to all. His teachings continue to inspire a vision where personal achievement and universal perfection are inextricably linked, empowering every Jew to be a leader in their own right.

This class does a deep dive into the psychological and mystical significance of Pharaoh’s final confrontation with Moses before the tenth plague. Throughout the first nine plagues, Pharaoh displayed a surprising level of tolerance towards Moses, despite the devastation he brought upon Egypt. But after the plague of darkness, something shifted—Pharaoh snapped and threatened Moses' life. Why was this the breaking point? Through Kabbalistic insight, we explore the Pharaoh within us all: the force that disconnects intellect from heart, numbing us to truth. Like an addict resisting recovery, Pharaoh’s descent into darkness mirrors the way we sometimes silence our own inner voice of conscience. Moses’ slap was not just an act of defiance—it was a symbolic moment marking Pharaoh’s complete spiritual collapse.
Key Takeaways:
- Pharaoh vs. Moses as an Inner Struggle: Pharaoh represents the ego’s resistance to change, while Moses is the voice of our moral conscience.
- Why Darkness Was the Breaking Point: The plague of darkness symbolizes the moment a person loses not only emotional awareness but also intellectual perception, making true transformation nearly impossible.
- The Danger of Losing Sight: A person may endure emotional and even intellectual corruption, but as long as they retain a glimmer of awareness—of something greater than themselves—there is still hope.
- The Addict’s Battle: Many struggle with self-destructive behaviors, hating yet needing their inner “Moses.” The moment they fully reject that voice, they risk losing themselves entirely.
- Moses’ Slap as a Spiritual Statement: The slap symbolizes that Pharaoh had lost all divine presence within him. He was no longer just a cruel oppressor; he was a man who had extinguished his own soul.
This class challenges us to consider: Are we listening to our inner Moses, or are we allowing our Pharaoh to take over? And most importantly—have we reached a point of darkness where we no longer even see the battle?

This lecture explores the profound parable of The Thief by Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, who teaches that every soul contends with an inner thief—an inclination that robs us of our divine light. Drawing parallels between this concept and the Ten Plagues, Rabbi Bernath delves into how each plague symbolizes a distortion of the ten faculties of the soul, as described in Kabbalah. These ancient episodes of spiritual dysfunction mirror the psychological struggles we face today. Through understanding the anatomy of our soul and the symbolic meaning of the plagues, we uncover a roadmap to self-recovery and spiritual transformation.
Takeaways:
- The Inner Thief: Recognizing the negative impulses within us is the first step to reclaiming our inner peace.
- Plagues as Life Lessons: The Ten Plagues symbolize spiritual dysfunctions in the soul, offering timeless lessons for introspection and growth.
- Refinement of the Soul: Each plague corresponds to a faculty of the soul—confidence, compassion, love, and others—highlighting the necessity to channel these energies positively.
- Path to Redemption: Liberation from our "Mitzrayim" begins with honest self-awareness, confronting our inner distortions, and returning to our divine purpose.
- The Power of Recovery: Even when the thief within seems to have consumed all, recovery and renewal are always possible.

"What is Love?" Love is redefined beyond the conventional understanding of a mere emotion or a passive state of being. We emphasized that love is an obligation and a directive, as illustrated in Leviticus 19:18, which commands to "love your fellow as yourself." This idea suggests that love is not just a spontaneous feeling but an active choice and action. Before one can extend love to others, it's crucial to first develop a sense of love for oneself. This foundational self-love sets the stage for meaningful and authentic relationships with others.
We further explored the idea that the essence of love is deeply rooted in the act of giving. It posits that love begins with giving and grows through consistent, thoughtful acts of kindness and generosity. This concept challenges the popular notion of love as a feeling that happens to us, suggesting instead that love is something we actively create through our actions. The more we give, the deeper our capacity for love becomes. This principle is encapsulated in the phrase, "First comes giving, then comes love," highlighting the transformative power of giving in cultivating and sustaining love. The chapter concludes by asserting that love is not just about feelings but about the deliberate and ongoing practice of giving, which ultimately shapes and strengthens our relationships.

In today's class Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores the qualities that made Moses the ultimate leader of the Jewish people, as demonstrated in three defining episodes from his early life. Moses' unwavering commitment to confronting injustice, even at great personal risk, offers timeless lessons on leadership and moral responsibility. As we face the terror threatening our brothers and sisters in Israel, Moses’ example provides a powerful framework for navigating the tension between compassion and righteous might, underscoring that peace is achieved not through appeasement but by confronting evil head-on.
Key Takeaways:
1. Leadership Requires Action: True leaders, like Moses, act decisively in the face of injustice, regardless of the context or the identities of those involved.
2. Moral Courage: At times, moral violence is necessary to protect the innocent and uphold justice, as in the case of Moses defending a Hebrew slave.
3. The Dangers of Appeasement: History shows that appeasing evil leads to greater suffering, as demonstrated by the Oslo Accords and similar policies.
4. A Balance of Strength and Compassion: While Isaiah’s vision of peace inspires us, the path to achieving it sometimes demands force, as articulated by the prophet Joel.
5. Timeless Leadership Model: Moses’ early life teaches us that a leader must be willing to sacrifice personal comfort to confront evil and protect the vulnerable.

The fast of Asarah B'Tevet marks the siege of Jerusalem—a moment that appears subtle in its immediacy but significant in its consequences. Similarly, the story of Joseph reveals how the most painful events in life can lead to profound growth and redemption. By examining the parallels between Joseph’s journey and the lessons of Asarah B'Tevet, we uncover a deeper truth: even in the darkest moments, G-d's hand is guiding us toward transformation, healing, and purpose. This class explores both the historical significance of Asarah B'Tevet and Joseph’s journey to reveal how even our personal "sieges" can be moments of divine support and growth.
Key Takeaways
- Significance of Small Beginnings: Asarah B'Tevet reminds us that even small actions or events, such as the siege of Jerusalem or the sale of Joseph into slavery, can set the stage for transformative changes.
- The Duality of Pain and Growth: Just as the siege of Jerusalem marked the beginning of exile but also contained the seeds of redemption, Joseph’s descent into slavery was the foundation of his rise to greatness. Pain and setbacks, when approached with faith, can be turned into opportunities for growth and leadership.
- Noticing the Cracks in Our Lives: Both Asarah B'Tevet and the story of Joseph urge us to address the early signs of trouble in our personal and spiritual lives. Whether it's the start of a siege or the seeds of discord within a family, the earlier we act, the greater the potential for healing.
- The Power of Perspective: Joseph’s ability to forgive his brothers stems from his recognition that G-d was behind every step of his journey. This is a lesson for us to surrender our expectations and trust that our challenges are part of a divine plan.
- Exile as a Catalyst for Redemption: The Babylonian siege of Jerusalem and Joseph's exile to Egypt share a common message: exile is not the end—it is a process that can bring us closer to Hashem and help us discover our inner strength. Just as Joseph rose to become a leader who saved many, the Jewish people’s exile has led to a stronger, more resilient nation.
- Transformation of Pain into Triumph: Joseph’s message to his brothers—"It was not you who sent me here, but G-d"—aligns with the promise that fast days like Asarah B'Tevet will be transformed into days of joy and celebration in the Messianic era. Every descent is for the sake of a greater ascent.

The dramatic moment when Joseph reveals his identity to his brothers, after decades of separation and pain, holds timeless lessons for our lives. This Torah episode is more than a reunion; it is a profound exploration of identity, resilience, and divine purpose. Through Joseph's words, "I am Joseph," we are invited to uncover the paradoxical power of struggle—how challenges, alienation, and darkness can unleash a person's deepest spiritual potential. This lecture delves into the nuanced dynamics of the story, addressing the brothers’ guilt, Joseph’s response, and the transformative message that adversity can catalyze unparalleled growth.
Key Takeaways:
- Identity Beyond the Mask: Joseph’s declaration, “I am Joseph,” was not merely informational but transformational. It revealed not just who he was but the divine light and moral integrity that had been hidden beneath his external roles. His life teaches us the value of looking beyond the surface and recognizing the soul within.
- Growth Through Adversity:
Joseph's greatness did not emerge despite his trials in Egypt—it emerged because of them. The very darkness of his journey was the catalyst for his extraordinary spiritual light. Our struggles, too, can become the source of our unique strength and greatness. - The Pain of Misunderstanding:
Joseph’s brothers initially failed to see his true character, both in his youth and when he was the viceroy of Egypt. This reflects a universal struggle: the pain of being misunderstood and the challenge of seeing others for who they truly are. - From Regret to Redemption:
The brothers’ initial reaction—horror at their missed opportunity—was met with Joseph’s reassurance. His words remind us that G-d’s plan is greater than our mistakes, and even our failures can be transformed into a vehicle for divine purpose. - The Power of Brotherhood:
Joseph’s second declaration, “I am Joseph your brother,” emphasized connection and unity. Even after betrayal, Joseph reasserted the unbreakable bond of family and faith, inspiring us to embrace reconciliation and healing. - Your Journey Is Your Purpose:
The lesson of Joseph’s life is that we should not live in the world of “If only.” Every twist and turn of our journey is designed by G-d to help us discover and fulfill our unique mission in this world.

This lecture by Rabbi Yisroel Bernath intertwines the historical story of Rabbi Leibel Alevsky's battle for public menorahs in Cleveland with the Maccabean revolt against Hellenist assimilation and the Torah portion Mikeitz. Rabbi Bernath explores the recurring theme of Jewish pride, from Joseph's unwavering identification as a Hebrew to the courage required to light public menorahs in defiance of opposition. The menorah, a symbol of both religious freedom and Jewish pride, challenges us to stand tall in our identity even when faced with societal pressures, reminding us that Jewish pride is the key to Jewish survival.
Key Takeaways
- Jewish Pride in Action: Rabbi Leibel Alevsky's public menorah in Cleveland represents a modern-day Maccabean stand for Jewish dignity, despite opposition from both Jewish and non-Jewish communities.
- Freedom vs. Assimilation: Chanukah is not just about freedom from oppression but also about resisting the allure of assimilation and holding onto one's identity amidst societal pressures.
- Lessons from Joseph and Moses: The Torah portion Mikeitz contrasts Joseph's unwavering pride in his Hebrew heritage with Moses's initial identification as an Egyptian, illustrating the enduring importance of self-identification with one’s faith and people.
- Symbol of Freedom: The public menorah is not merely a religious symbol; it is a universal symbol of freedom, shining a light against the darkness of cultural erasure and assimilation.
- Generational Responsibility: Just as we nurture self-esteem in our children, we must nurture Jewish self-esteem, inspiring pride in their heritage and identity.

This lecture explores the incredible journey of Rabbi Akiva, from an illiterate shepherd to one of Judaism's greatest sages, and how he gained both wisdom and wealth through divine providence and courage. Through fascinating Talmudic stories, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath shows how Rabbi Akiva’s life paralleled the mission of Yosef in this week's Torah portion: bringing light and faith to the outside world. The lecture ties these stories to the message of Chanukah, emphasizing the Jewish mission to illuminate the world, even beyond the walls of our homes. It concludes with the Rebbe's call to inspire others with Jewish values, ensuring that influence brings both spiritual and material success.
Key Takeaways
- Rabbi Akiva’s Transformation: Rabbi Akiva’s journey from a poor shepherd to a wealthy Torah scholar teaches us that faith, wisdom, and perseverance can change the course of one's life and influence generations.
- Divine Providence in Wealth: The Talmud illustrates that Rabbi Akiva’s wealth came through acts of courage, divine intuition, and his influence on others, including Kalba Savua, Ketiya Bar Shalom, and Rufina Rufus.
- Parallel to Yosef: Like Rabbi Akiva, Yosef ventured into the outside world and upheld his faith, bringing the name of G-d into public spaces and influencing those around him with his integrity and wisdom.
- Chanukah’s Public Message: The menorah is lit at the doorway, symbolizing the Jewish mission to bring light and divine wisdom to the public sphere and beyond, echoing Rabbi Akiva and Yosef’s life missions.
- A Call to Action: The Rebbe teaches that by influencing non-Jewish colleagues with the Seven Noahide Laws, Jews can build respect, strengthen relationships, and serve as a beacon of light to the nations.

In this captivating lecture, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores the profound lessons hidden in Pharaoh's dual dreams presented in Parshat Miketz. Through the lens of Joseph's interpretations, Rabbi Bernath addresses questions about the coexistence of abundance and famine, the wisdom behind Joseph's advice to Pharaoh, and the deeper psychological and spiritual truths reflected in the story. He emphasizes how these timeless narratives mirror our own cycles of plenty and scarcity, advocating for the integration of our inner paradoxes to cultivate clarity and resilience in our lives.
Takeaways:
- Insight and Chutzpah: Joseph’s courageous advice to Pharaoh, despite his status as a freed slave, teaches us the importance of inner strength and wisdom, regardless of our circumstances.
- Recognition of Paradox: The coexistence of abundance and scarcity is a fundamental aspect of human experience. Recognizing and integrating these dualities can lead to deeper understanding and personal growth.
- Proactive Preparation: Joseph's approach highlights the need to prepare not just for imminent challenges, but also to remain conscious of potential difficulties during times of prosperity.
- Transformative Vision: True wisdom recognizes that challenges often embody solutions. Joseph's interpretation serves as a reminder to seek out opportunities within adversities.
- Emotional and Spiritual Resonance: By acknowledging our own cycles of clarity and confusion, we can align ourselves with our inner wisdom and resilience, allowing for growth and healing.

In this class, Rabb Yisroel Bernath delves into the profound symbolism of the dreidel, a cherished Chanukah tradition. By examining the four sides of the dreidel and their connection to the human psyche—ego, bodily urges, reason, and the compulsion to destroy—we uncover a deeper narrative about human behavior and spirituality. Through the lens of Jewish mysticism, the dreidel becomes a metaphor for balancing our inner struggles and aligning them with our divine essence. The class further explores historical parallels between the human psyche and the four empires that clashed with Judaism, demonstrating how these lessons remain relevant in contemporary life.
Key Takeaways:
Four Dimensions of the Psyche: The dreidel's four sides symbolize the ego, bodily urges, reason, and the destructive impulse, all of which can either harm or elevate us.
The Fifth Dimension: The dreidel’s point represents the divine spark within each of us, guiding our moral clarity and purpose.
Historical Reflection: The struggles of Babylonia, Persia, Greece, and Rome against Judaism mirror the internal battles of the human spirit.
Spiritual Growth: Chanukah teaches us to harness our inner forces, transforming them into tools for divine expression and moral refinement.
Relevance Today: Understanding the interplay of our psychological elements can lead to personal and societal improvement rooted in universal morality.

The second half of Genesis is filled with dreams that carry profound messages about life, destiny, and action. In this class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores the dreams of Joseph, the butler, and the baker, uncovering their deeper meanings. Through Joseph’s interpretations, we learn a critical distinction: the difference between being active participants in shaping our destiny versus passive observers of life’s circumstances. By understanding this lesson, we are empowered to take charge of our challenges, break free from our personal prisons, and transform our sighs into meaningful deeds.
Key Takeaways:
Active vs. Passive Living: The butler's active role in his dream symbolizes life and freedom, while the baker’s passivity reflects helplessness and demise.
Joseph’s Wisdom: Joseph’s interpretations teach us that being proactive in life leads to growth and redemption, while inaction can trap us in stagnation.
Prison as a Metaphor: Everyone faces limitations—whether emotional or circumstantial. The key is to take action despite those constraints.
The Power of Deeds: Small, intentional actions can break cycles of despair and open the door to freedom and purpose.
A Call to Action: Whether facing personal struggles or communal challenges, the solution lies in doing—no matter how small the first step may seem.

In this sermon, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath draws parallels between the lives of Isadore and Nathan Strauss, the parsha’s narrative of Yaakov’s journey back to the Holy Land, and the enduring challenges and mission of the Jewish people throughout history. By exploring the Strauss brothers' devotion to Israel, Yaakov's escape from Lavan, and the recurring pattern of antisemitism in history, the sermon highlights our divine purpose: to illuminate the world with G-d's presence and moral clarity, wherever we may be.
**Key Takeaways
The Choices That Shape History:**
Nathan Strauss’s decision to stay in the Holy Land, missing the Titanic, underscores the importance of placing values and mission above convenience. Yaakov’s choice to leave Charan, despite its challenges, reflects the yearning to reconnect with our roots and divine purpose.
The Recurring Pattern of Antisemitism:
From Yaakov’s struggles with Lavan to Yitzchak’s conflicts with Avimelech, the Torah reminds us of the historical cycle where Jewish success leads to envy, displacement, and eventual recognition of G-d’s blessings. This pattern continues in modern examples, including the complex relationship between Jews and host nations like China.
Our Divine Mission:
Beyond economic or social contributions, Jews have a spiritual role in every community—to inspire faith, accountability, and recognition of G-d. The absence of a Jewish presence often leaves a moral and spiritual void, as seen in Avimelech’s plea to Yitzchak: “We have surely seen that G-d was with you.”
Actionable Inspiration:
Recognize that every moment and decision—whether supporting Israel, staying true to Torah values, or fostering spiritual growth—contributes to our mission of being a light unto the nations.

In this deeply personal and profound sermon, we confront the unanswerable question of why tragedies befall righteous individuals, using the life and legacy of Rabbi Zvi Kogan HY"D as a source of inspiration. While acknowledging the pain and darkness, we explore the Jewish response: to transform sorrow into an unstoppable commitment to goodness, light, and purpose. Drawing from the teachings of the Rebbe and our Patriarchs' connection to wells, we learn that even in the depths of despair, the hidden springs of resilience and holiness can be uncovered to nourish a world in desperate need of light.
Key Takeaways
- The Power of Purpose
Rabbi Zvi Kogan lived a life filled with purpose, building a vibrant Jewish community. His legacy teaches us that purpose gives life meaning, even in the face of adversity. - Transforming Pain into Action
The Jewish response to tragedy is not paralysis but action. Every mitzvah we do brings Divine compassion into the world and counters the darkness of fear and hatred. - The Symbolism of Wells
Our forefathers' wells symbolize the discovery of hidden strength and inspiration amidst struggle. Just as spring water emerges pure and life-giving from beneath the earth, so too does our greatest light often emerge from our deepest struggles. - Small Acts, Big Impact
Simple, consistent actions—lighting Shabbat candles, giving tzedakah, or teaching children—create ripples of light and holiness that transform the world. - Carrying the Legacy
Rabbi Kogan’s legacy challenges us to be lamplighters, bringing light to the darkest places through courage, faith, and consistent acts of goodness. - Faith in Justice
The phrase HY”D, “May G-d avenge their blood,” reaffirms our faith in G-d's ultimate justice, rejecting chaos and vengeance while affirming our role as bearers of moral clarity.
Pledge A Mitzvah in Memory of Rabbi Zvi Kogan HY"D. https://onemitzvah.org/tzvi/rabbi-bernaths-team

This week’s Torah portion illuminates a profound truth about Jewish identity: we are both "inhabitants" and "strangers" in the world. Through Abraham’s insistence on purchasing the Machpelah cave for Sarah’s burial, and Isaac’s search for spirituality in his wife, we learn how to navigate our dual role. While we integrate into society, contributing as full participants, we remain distinct, rooted in a unique spiritual mission. This duality—belonging yet separate—challenges us to honor our faith while thriving in the broader world.
Key Takeaways:
- Dual Identity: Jews are both "inhabitants," fully engaged in the world, and "strangers," set apart by a unique spiritual mission. Balancing these roles is the essence of Jewish life.
- Spiritual Separation: Abraham’s purchase of a separate burial plot demonstrates the need for distinct spaces and practices that honor our spiritual values.
- Qualities That Transcend: Isaac sought both kindness and a relationship with G-d in Rebecca, teaching us that external good deeds must be paired with inner spirituality.
- Reclaiming "Stranger" Status: While our ancestors worked hard to integrate, we must reclaim our spiritual distinctiveness and ensure it thrives in our families and communities.
- A Higher Calling: As Jews, we live by a different set of values, holidays, and traditions. This uniqueness is not only our responsibility but also our strength.

This week’s Torah portion recounts Abraham’s purchase of the Cave of Machpelah as a burial site for Sarah, a moment steeped in profound symbolism. Juxtaposed with Isaac and Rebecca's love story, the Torah reveals an eternal truth about relationships: true love is not confined to what is seen above the surface. It is rooted in a deeper, timeless connection that exists "beneath the ground." From the bond between husband and wife to the eternal relationship between humanity and G-d, the portion teaches us to view relationships not just as contracts but as reunions of souls.
Key Takeaways:
- Two Layers of Relationships: Relationships have a conscious, emotional dimension (above ground) and an intrinsic, soul-level connection (beneath the ground). Both are vital but serve different roles in sustaining love.
- Eternal Connection: The Torah's comparison between marriage and Abraham’s purchase of a burial cave highlights the enduring nature of a soul connection. A true relationship is not severed by life's challenges—or even by death.
- Marriage as Reunion: A Jewish marriage reflects the reunification of two halves of one soul, a bond that transcends conscious feelings and persists through trials.
- Divine Parallel: Our relationship with G-d mirrors marriage. Even during times of spiritual disconnection, our inherent bond with the Divine remains unbroken, waiting to be rekindled.
- A Model for Life: Abraham’s treatment of Sarah after her passing and Isaac and Rebecca's enduring marriage remind us that loyalty and trust stem from recognizing the deeper, eternal bond in every relationship.

This week's Torah portion, Vayeira, captures the surprising encounter between Abraham and three angelic visitors. Expecting divine revelations, the angels instead find Abraham busy with hospitality — preparing food, fetching water, and overseeing their comfort. They question, “Where is Sarah your wife?” seeking a glimpse of the true tzaddik, only to find that her holiness, too, is concealed within the humble details of life. Through Abraham's actions, the angels learn that genuine holiness is not in escaping earthly concerns, but in bringing light to them. Abraham demonstrates that true spirituality is about bringing heaven into the everyday, a mission passed down through his descendants.
Key Takeaways:
- Spiritual Greatness in the Mundane: Abraham’s greatness is revealed not in miraculous acts but in his devoted, everyday service to others, emphasizing that holiness is found within the ordinary moments.
- The Tzaddik’s Mission: Abraham’s role as a tzaddik teaches us that spiritual leaders embody selflessness, focusing on the needs of others as a path to divine connection.
- True Hospitality as Divine Work: By hosting the angels, Abraham exemplifies how simple acts of kindness can elevate humanity above even angelic beings.
- Bringing Heaven Down to Earth: The narrative illustrates that our purpose is not to transcend the physical but to infuse it with sacredness, creating a “home for G-d” here on earth.
- Holiness Concealed and Revealed: Abraham and Sarah’s roles demonstrate that true spiritual power may often be hidden, discovered in moments of kindness and commitment, rather than in overt displays of sanctity.

This week, Rabbi Bernath's sermon delves into the profound moment in this week's Torah portion when G-d calls Abraham to leave everything familiar and embark on a journey that would define not only his own life but the life of humanity. The Midrash’s metaphor of a palace in flames becomes the key image for Abraham's—and ultimately all of Judaism's—mission. Abraham's journey begins with a cry to G-d, asking why a beautiful world, brimming with order and wonder, is engulfed in suffering and strife. G-d’s response, “I am the ruler of the palace,” calls Abraham, and all of us, to act as His partners in repairing the world. Through G-d’s implicit challenge, Abraham learned—and taught—the lesson at the heart of Judaism: that we are tasked with extinguishing the flames of injustice and bringing G-d’s presence into our world.
Takeaways:
-
Humanity's Responsibility: Judaism teaches that we are responsible for the world, called upon to combat injustice and protect life, not simply to observe the beauty or lament the flames.
-
The Power of Moral Courage: True goodness demands moral courage, the bravery to condemn evil unequivocally and protect the innocent. Abraham’s journey ignites the mission of Judaism: to oppose wrongdoing without compromise.
-
Rejecting Passivity: The Midrash urges us to reject passivity in the face of evil. Like Abraham, we are called to ask tough questions of ourselves and society and to lead by example, striving toward a world of compassion and righteousness.
-
Redefining Leadership and Society: In choosing leaders and guiding our own lives, we must seek those who recognize the importance of standing up against those who “set fire to the palace,” those willing to uphold justice and moral clarity.
-
Partnership with G-d: The true beginning of the Jewish faith is the realization that we are G-d’s partners in creation, called to infuse holiness into the world by actively pursuing justice, kindness, and integrity.

In this sermon, we delve into the story of Noah, exploring why the Talmud's mixed views on his righteousness matter. Noah is often compared unfavorably to figures like Abraham, leading to questions about why the sages seemed to minimize his virtue. However, this nuanced approach reveals Noah as a powerful role model for the everyday person. Despite being an ordinary man, not a towering spiritual giant, Noah’s steadfastness in a world of corruption proves that even those who struggle with doubt and imperfection can transform the world through acts of courage and goodness.
Key Takeaways:
1. Embrace Imperfection: Noah’s story teaches that one doesn’t need to be extraordinary to make a significant impact. Even flawed individuals can change the course of history.
2. Moral Courage Amidst Corruption: Standing firm in one’s values, even when surrounded by moral decay, is heroic. Noah’s courage to be different saved humanity.
3. Value of Struggle: True greatness is not in perfection but in resilience and choosing righteousness despite challenges and doubts.
4. Small Acts, Big Impact: Like Noah, each of us has the power to build “arks” of kindness and sanity in a tumultuous world. Your efforts, however small they may seem, can make a difference.

In the aftermath of the Great Flood, humanity united in the Valley of Shinar to construct the Tower of Babel—a symbol of ambition and defiance. The story reveals three driving philosophies behind the Tower: rebellion against G-d, forced homogeneity, and misguided rationalism. While one idea was burnt away, another buried but recurrent, the last still towers today in subtle denial of divine orchestration. The lesson is clear: humanity thrives through embracing diversity, acknowledging divine orchestration, and building not to rival heaven but to bring heaven down to earth.
Key Takeaways:
- Rebellion Burned Away: The primitive notion of defeating the Divine was extinguished, symbolizing that even skepticism today acknowledges a transcendental Creator.
- Unity vs. Diversity: Forced homogeneity, though submerged, resurfaces throughout history, proving true unity respects and celebrates diversity.
- Misguided Rationalism Stands Tall: The persistent belief in randomness over divine providence endures, dulling moral sensitivity and feeding human hubris.
- The Power of Choice: Life's significance pivots on our choices—to see the world as a series of random events or as an intentional, divine masterpiece.

As the gates of Yom Kippur draw to a close, Rabbi Bernath calls us to embrace the profound and unwavering strength of the “Even If” mindset—a faith, love, and joy that endure beyond ideal conditions. Drawing on the story of Chananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, who faced the Babylonian furnace with unyielding courage, Rabbi Bernath parallels this with modern-day heroes who embody this same resilient spirit. Through stories of extraordinary bravery, he challenges us to live a life defined not by the conditional “If,” but by a steadfast “Even If”—an approach that can transform our relationships, our happiness, and our spiritual commitments as we enter the new year.
Key Takeaways:
- Faith Beyond Conditions:
Chananiah, Mishael, and Azariah exemplify an “Even If” faith that does not depend on favorable outcomes. We are called to cultivate a similarly unshakeable commitment to our values, regardless of life’s challenges. - Modern Heroes of “Even If”:
The recent heroes of Israel, like Oz Davidian, displayed an extraordinary resolve, acting courageously even when circumstances seemed impossible. Their stories inspire us to consider what kind of faith we hold in the face of adversity. - The ‘If’ vs. ‘Even If’ Mindset:
The conditional “If” mindset limits us, while the “Even If” mindset liberates us to embrace life’s imperfections and challenges with resilience. Whether in our relationships, faith, or personal happiness, “Even If” invites us to live fully and meaningfully. - Applying ‘Even If’ to Mitzvot and Life:
Rabbi Bernath encourages each of us to commit to a new mitzvah, not when it’s convenient, but even if it seems difficult. By taking on mitzvot and acts of kindness with an “Even If” spirit, we forge a deeper connection to G-d and our community. - A Call to Wake Up Even More:
Just as Yom Kippur is a time of awakening, Rabbi Bernath invites us to go further, to “wake up even more.” As we enter the new year, this heightened awareness will help us transform not only our lives but also the world around us.

This Kol Nidrei sermon reflects on the transformative journey from the days of Golda Meir's tireless efforts to establish the State of Israel to a more personal encounter with Israel’s realities. Rabbi Bernath shares a profound story of unity and resilience—both his own, as a young man in Israel during the Second Intifada, and the collective Jewish response to the recent tragedies of October 7th. The sermon underscores the powerful, unbreakable bond between diaspora Jews and their Israeli brethren. Rabbi Bernath calls upon the Jewish community to seize this moment, to step forward as leaders, and to nurture a shared future rooted in hope, responsibility, and a renewed commitment to Jewish identity. As the torchbearers of today, we must bridge our history with a future of unity, resilience, and optimism.
Key Takeaways:
- The Legacy of Leadership and Courage
Golda Meir’s story inspires us to see ourselves as essential actors in the unfolding story of the Jewish people. Her example calls us to step up, embodying her courage and dedication to the survival and flourishing of the Jewish nation. - Personal Connection to Israel
Rabbi Bernath's firsthand experience in Israel highlights the importance of diaspora Jews feeling a personal, intimate bond with Israel—not as distant observers, but as family united by shared experiences, struggles, and purpose. - Rising to the Challenge of a New Era
The tragedies of recent events have fostered a new sense of connection between diaspora Jews and Israelis. Now, more than ever, we are called to action—not only through financial support but through an emotional and spiritual commitment to unity. - A Call to Action for the Jewish Community
Each member of the community has a role to play. We must not remain passive spectators but become active participants in shaping the future of the Jewish people. The sermon urges us to step forward, embrace our Jewish identity, and contribute to a thriving and unified global Jewish community. - Embracing Optimism and Hope for the Future
Despite the darkness we face, our response should be one of hope and joy. Rabbi Bernath calls us to imagine a future filled with resilience, where Jewish unity is our strength, and our communities are places of warmth, vibrancy, and growth.

In this moving sermon, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath reflects on a difficult year marked by ongoing challenges, uncertainty, and moments that tested the resolve of the Jewish people. He explores how G-d communicates with us in times of crisis, often through unexpected messengers. Rabbi Bernath introduces the story of Patricia Heaton, a Hollywood actress and devoted supporter of Israel, who recently launched a campaign encouraging non-Jews to show solidarity by putting up a mezuzah. This initiative echoes the Mezuzah Campaign launched by the Rebbe decades ago, emphasizing the mezuzah’s power as a source of protection and unity. Rabbi Bernath shares inspiring Talmudic stories and teachings, encouraging his congregation to renew their commitment to this mitzvah, spread its message, and recognize the mezuzah as a tangible link to G-d’s protection.
Key Takeaways:
- The Power of the Mezuzah: As a mitzvah given uniquely to the Jewish people, the mezuzah is a spiritual guardian that protects not only individuals but also entire communities. In times of crisis, it’s a reminder of G-d’s presence and protection.
- Signs in Unlikely Places: We may not have prophets today, but G-d still sends us messages. Patricia Heaton’s campaign to encourage the mezuzah’s presence in homes worldwide is a powerful reminder of the mezuzah’s value and a call to deepen our own commitment to this mitzvah.
- Unity Beyond Borders: The mezuzah campaign reflects the unity that transcends religious and cultural boundaries. Non-Jews joining in support of Israel and displaying the mezuzah symbolizes shared humanity, solidarity, and the need to stand together against rising anti-Semitism.
- Responding with Action: Each person can play a role in spreading the mitzvah of mezuzah. Whether adding mezuzahs to their own doors, gifting them to others, or simply raising awareness, every action contributes to a collective spiritual shield.
- Miracles in the Modern Day: Just as Artaban in the Talmud discovered the mezuzah’s protection, we too can see miracles when we embrace mitzvot with faith. As challenges arise, the mezuzah reminds us that G-d’s protection is unwavering, even in the darkest of times.

In this year’s Rosh Hashanah sermon, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath addresses the profound impact of last October’s events, emphasizing the collective trauma and unity that emerged in the Jewish community. He reflects on how this tragedy forced the Jewish people to confront their shared identity and essence. Despite differences in ideology, last year’s adversity brought a glimpse into the unity that binds the Jewish people at their core. Rabbi Bernath urges the community to actively sustain this unity—not just instinctively, but consciously, each day. He shares stories and teachings illustrating the importance of maintaining unity, tapping into our core truths, and reconnecting with our infinite light. Through deliberate effort, we must continue to live by our collective truth and open the doors to unity, strength, and peace for the year ahead.
Key Takeaways:
- Unity from Tragedy: October 7th changed the Jewish world forever. The tragedy united Jews worldwide, transcending ideologies and backgrounds, and revealed a deeper connection rooted in our shared essence.
- Conscious Effort for Lasting Unity: Rabbi Bernath reminds us that while unity came instinctively after October 7th, it is up to us to maintain it. If unity does not naturally arise, we must "open it ourselves" with our own hands, ensuring it endures as part of our daily lives.
- Lessons from the Rebbe: By sharing the story of Eliyahu Amikam and Meir Vilner, Rabbi Bernath emphasizes that every Jew, regardless of outward beliefs, harbors an inner core that connects them to G-d and the Jewish people. This core truth is what binds us and calls us to unity.
- Remembering October 7th: Rabbi Bernath stresses the importance of keeping the memory of October 7th fresh, using it as a reminder to continue living with a heightened sense of unity, purpose, and connection to one another and G-d.
- Our Responsibility: Like the young man with the tulips, if unity does not manifest naturally, we must take action to bring it forth. It is within our power to foster this connection, and with G-d's help, we can transform pain into strength and division into unity.
- A Year of Strength and Peace: In concluding, Rabbi Bernath prays for a year filled with security, peace, and revealed goodness, urging the Jewish people to stand united, channeling their core strength and unity toward collective prosperity and blessing.

In this inspiring sermon, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath shares a powerful story of two rabbinical students sent on a mission to the remote Aleutian Islands, where they encountered a young Jewish girl and her mother living in isolation. Their discovery reignited the family's connection to Judaism, emphasizing the significance of Shabbat candle lighting. Rabbi Bernath connects this story to the Rebbe’s campaign encouraging young girls to light Shabbat candles, a movement that has illuminated homes worldwide for 50 years. He reminds us that each candle contributes to a global chain of light, with every woman and girl adding her unique spark to complete the circle of Jewish unity. The message is clear: the light of Shabbat candles, no matter how far or near, transforms the world, one flame at a time.
Key Takeaways:
- No Jew is Alone: The story illustrates how even in the remotest places, a connection to Jewish identity can be rediscovered.
- The Power of One Candle: The act of lighting Shabbat candles holds profound spiritual significance, capable of transforming individuals, families, and communities.
- The Rebbe's Shabbat Candle Initiative: Since 1974, the Rebbe's campaign has empowered young girls to light Shabbat candles, ensuring that every home is illuminated with holiness.
- Shabbat Candles as Global Unity: Each candle lit across different time zones creates a continuous chain of Jewish light and unity across the world.
- Your Unique Light Matters: Every woman and girl’s light is special and necessary to bring G‑d’s presence into the world.

On the night of Rosh Hashanah, we engage in a cosmic ceremony unlike any other — the coronation of G-d as our King. Drawing inspiration from Rabbi Yosef Dov Soleveitchik’s childhood story in Chaslavitch, we explore the profound depth of Rosh Hashanah, where the humblest among us — the tailor, shoemaker, water-carrier, and painter — all participate in the crowning of G-d. But why does the infinite, omnipotent G-d desire our coronation? Through this act, we come to understand the relationship between human free will and divine sovereignty, and how Rosh Hashanah illuminates the purpose of our existence.
Key Takeaways:
Rosh Hashanah as Coronation: Rosh Hashanah is the "Coronation Night" when each person, regardless of their station, plays a role in crowning G-d as King.
Why G-d Needs Our Coronation: G-d desires a relationship built on choice, not coercion. We are invited to freely declare Him King, forging a personal bond with the Creator.
Human Free Will: Rosh Hashanah embodies the paradox of a limitless G-d who humbles Himself, allowing space for us to choose Him — elevating our smallness into cosmic significance.
The Power of the Simple Jew: It is not the scholars or kings alone who coronate G-d; it’s the everyday Jew, demonstrating that each of us holds a divine role and responsibility.
Our Unique Role: The vulnerability of G-d in desiring our choice speaks to the magnitude of human existence — we hold the power to invite G-d into our lives and crown Him King over creation.

The month of Elul is a time of deep introspection and renewal in love and relationships, aligning with the theme of "Ani l'dodi v'dodi li" – "I am to my beloved, and my beloved is to me." This sermon explores the mystical dimensions of Elul, emphasizing how true love and unity are possible without compromising individuality. By understanding the Kabbalistic concepts of Divine light and vessels, we learn how love in human relationships mirrors the unity between the finite and the infinite. As we honor Jenna and Shmuel’s upcoming wedding, we delve into the profound lesson of how two distinct souls can join together seamlessly, embodying the essence of Elul’s energy.
Key Takeaways:
Elul's Unique Energy: Elul, the month of Virgo, carries the energy of love and relationships. It invites us to reflect on the mutual symbiosis between two individuals, just as it symbolizes our relationship with the Divine.
Ani L'dodi V'dodi Li: This phrase from Song of Songs encapsulates the essence of love—a dynamic where each person reflects the other. Love grows in proportion to the love we give, mirroring how we relate to the Divine.
Love as an Initiative: True love requires proactive effort. We must take the initiative in relationships rather than waiting for love to come to us. This active approach leads to deeper, reciprocated connections.
Unity Without Compromise: Kabbalah teaches that unity between distinct entities, like the union between a couple or between humanity and the Divine, is possible without losing individuality. The interplay of light and vessel shows how finite beings can merge with the infinite while maintaining their unique identity.
Reflection in Relationships: The union of "I" and "my beloved" reflects the cosmic unity, demonstrating how individual souls can unite harmoniously. This union is celebrated in marriage, where two people become one while still retaining their personal essence.

In the summer of 2023, Sappir Cohen, a young woman from Ramat Gan, felt an overwhelming sense of foreboding. Despite countless visits to doctors, she found no explanation for her anxiety. In desperation, she turned to prayer, reciting Psalm 27 daily. Months later, she was abducted by terrorists during the October 7th attacks in Israel. Miraculously, her prayer became her source of strength and resilience throughout her 55-day captivity in Gaza. Her experience serves as a reminder of the power of trust in G-d, especially during times of fear and uncertainty. The Psalm she recited isn’t just for her—it is for all of us, as we too are hostages, seeking to break free from the shackles of our material world and reconnect with the Divine.
Takeaways:
Power of Prayer: Psalm 27 gave Sappir the courage and hope she needed in unimaginable circumstances. Our prayers can uplift us in our darkest moments.
Unity and Strength: Even in the midst of her captivity, Sappir’s story demonstrates how the unity of the Jewish people is a source of strength, as recognized by her captors.
Spiritual Hostages: We are all, in a way, hostages in this material world. Our soul’s yearning for G-d is fulfilled through mitzvot and spiritual growth.
Overcoming the Yetzer Hara: The battle against our inner enemies—the distractions of material life—is constant. Trust in G-d and spiritual resilience can help us overcome it.
Hope in G-d: The message of Psalm 27 encourages us to maintain unwavering faith, knowing that G-d will guide and protect us in times of need.

In this sermon, the story of Chanah from the Haftarah on Rosh Hashanah serves as a powerful lesson about the depth of human emotions and the nature of prayer. Chanah, who is childless, pours her heart out to G-d in silent prayer, but Eli, the High Priest, mistakenly perceives her as being drunk. This seemingly insensitive misjudgment turns into a profound revelation about the coexistence of pain and serenity, and the spiritual intimacy that comes from genuine prayer. By exploring Chanah’s response and comparing it with a story from the Holocaust, we learn the essence of pouring out our souls before G-d, no matter the circumstances.
Key Takeaways:
Prayer as Connection: Chanah teaches us that prayer is about pouring out our hearts directly to G-d, beyond formalities, in intimate conversation.
Misunderstood Devotion: Eli's assumption reminds us that the deepest expressions of faith can sometimes be misread, even by spiritual leaders.
The Coexistence of Emotions: Chanah’s ability to carry both profound grief and inner peace exemplifies the complexity of the human soul when connected to G-d.
Focus on the Positive: The story of Simon Wiesenthal and Rabbi Silver highlights the choice to see the devotion of those who sacrifice, rather than the flaws of the few.

The Rebbe’s teachings on the parable of the “King in the Field,” drawn from Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, provide profound insights into the unique opportunity presented by the month of Elul. Unlike the rest of the year, when approaching G-d can feel daunting, during Elul G-d leaves the palace and meets us in the field. This signifies His closeness, love, and willingness to engage with all of us, no matter how distant we may feel. However, it is up to us to take the first step towards Him. Through acts of charity, prayer, and listening to the shofar, we are invited to greet the King and prepare ourselves to follow Him back to the palace for the High Holidays.
Takeaways:
- The King is in the Field: During Elul, G-d is accessible to everyone, symbolizing divine mercy and forgiveness.
- We Must Take the First Step: The initiative to approach G-d during Elul is ours, as indicated by “I am to my Beloved, and my Beloved is to me.”
- Preparation for the High Holidays: Our acts of humility and dedication during Elul lead us to be granted an audience with G-d during the High Holidays.
- Field and Palace: Elul represents a time of closeness and simplicity, while the High Holidays invite us into G-d’s palace, where His full glory is revealed.

The topic of Jerusalem’s ownership often stirs debate, particularly in the context of peace in the Middle East. While the Hebrew Bible mentions Jerusalem extensively, the Torah itself does not explicitly name the city. Instead, it alludes to it as "the place that the L-rd will choose." This omission raises questions about why the Torah does not directly name Jerusalem, despite its profound significance to the Jewish people. Various explanations from Maimonides and the Rebbe offer insights, suggesting that the omission serves to protect the city from conflict and to encourage a deeper, more personal connection to the sacredness of Jerusalem. Ultimately, the true essence of Jerusalem is revealed through the mitzvot performed wherever Jews are, transforming every place into a spiritual sanctuary in anticipation of the coming of the Third Temple.
Takeaways:
- Jerusalem's Omission: The Torah does not explicitly name Jerusalem, although it is hinted at through phrases like "the place that the L-rd will choose."
- Historical Context: The city’s holy status was recognized from early Biblical times, yet its explicit mention is absent in the Torah to prevent potential conflicts.
- Maimonides' Insights: Jerusalem's omission could prevent conflict among nations and within the Jewish tribes themselves.
- Spiritual Connection: The Rebbe and Baal Shem Tov teach that every place where Jews practice mitzvot can become a spiritual Jerusalem, reflecting the city’s deeper, universal significance.
- Preparation for Redemption: By transforming our current locations into spiritual sanctuaries, we prepare ourselves and the world for the eventual coming of the Third Temple in Jerusalem.

The famous slogan "Let My People Go" became a rallying cry for Jews worldwide in the 1970s, advocating for the release of Soviet Jewry. However, as the Rebbe reminded us, the slogan's full meaning—"so that they may serve Me"—was often overlooked. This sermon explores the deeper significance of this missing line and the importance of spiritual liberation alongside physical freedom. Drawing parallels with Moshe Dayan's speech during the War of Attrition, the Rebbe emphasized that our strength lies not only in action but in unwavering faith that "G-d is with us," the ultimate source of courage and victory.
Key Takeaways:
- Complete the Mission: Physical freedom is essential, but it is only complete when coupled with the ability to observe Torah and mitzvot.
- Spiritual Liberation: True freedom is achieved when Jews can live fully as Jews, celebrating traditions, and passing them on to future generations.
- Faith Over Fear: In the face of overwhelming challenges, the Jewish people have always drawn strength from the belief that G-d is with them.
- The Power of the Full Verse: Understanding and embracing the full context of Torah teachings strengthens our resolve and gives purpose to our actions.

- Celebration and Intimacy: The festivals of Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret, and Simchat Torah as the celebration and intimate consummation of our relationship with the Divine.

In this sermon, we explore one of the most profound and paradoxical moments in Jewish history: Moses' decision to break the first set of tablets containing the Ten Commandments. Far from being a moment of defeat, this act is seen as Moses' greatest accomplishment. By smashing the tablets, Moses conveyed a timeless truth—G-d can be found not only in the perfection of life but also within its brokenness. This powerful lesson teaches us that our broken places are not voids to be feared but sacred spaces where we can discover deeper, transformative holiness.
Takeaways:
- Holiness in Brokenness: The broken tablets, kept alongside the whole ones in the Ark of the Covenant, symbolize the sacredness found within our imperfections and struggles.
- The Role of Brokenness in Healing: Moses' breaking of the tablets wasn't an act of anger but the start of a healing process, showing that through repentance and embracing our broken parts, we can forge a new path to G-d.
- G-d’s Affirmation of Brokenness: G-d's approval of Moses' decision to break the tablets emphasizes that even our most shattered moments hold divine significance.
- Transformation Through Pain: Our greatest spiritual achievements often emerge not from our perfect moments but from the times we confront and transform our deepest wounds.

"What is Love?" Love is redefined beyond the conventional understanding of a mere emotion or a passive state of being. We emphasized that love is an obligation and a directive, as illustrated in Leviticus 19:18, which commands to "love your fellow as yourself." This idea suggests that love is not just a spontaneous feeling but an active choice and action. Before one can extend love to others, it's crucial to first develop a sense of love for oneself. This foundational self-love sets the stage for meaningful and authentic relationships with others.
We further explored the idea that the essence of love is deeply rooted in the act of giving. It posits that love begins with giving and grows through consistent, thoughtful acts of kindness and generosity. This concept challenges the popular notion of love as a feeling that happens to us, suggesting instead that love is something we actively create through our actions. The more we give, the deeper our capacity for love becomes. This principle is encapsulated in the phrase, "First comes giving, then comes love," highlighting the transformative power of giving in cultivating and sustaining love. The chapter concludes by asserting that love is not just about feelings but about the deliberate and ongoing practice of giving, which ultimately shapes and strengthens our relationships.

In this sermon, we delve into the real reasons behind the destruction of the Second Temple, as highlighted in the newly released animated movie "Agadat Churban—Legend of Destruction." The movie underscores how internal strife and division among the Jewish people, rather than the might of the Roman Empire, led to Jerusalem’s downfall. By reflecting on the historical infighting and its consequences, we draw essential lessons on unity and the importance of fostering unconditional love within our communities to pave the way for rebuilding the Temple and achieving lasting peace.
Takeaways
- Internal Conflict Led to Destruction: The primary cause of Jerusalem’s downfall was the internal strife and civil war among the Jewish people, which weakened their defense against the Romans.
- Importance of Unity: The historical lesson emphasizes the need for unity and collaboration among Jewish factions to avoid repeating past mistakes.
- Senseless Hatred vs. Senseless Love: The destruction of the Temple was attributed to senseless hatred. The antidote, as taught by our sages and reiterated by the Rebbe, is senseless love—unconditional love and support for every Jew, regardless of differences.
- Spiritual Preparation for Rebuilding the Temple: The path to rebuilding the Temple lies in self-improvement and fostering peace within the Jewish community, rather than focusing solely on physical or technical preparations.
- Devarim’s Insight on Rest and Inheritance: The book of Devarim highlights the difference between “rest” (Shiloh) and “inheritance” (Jerusalem), suggesting that true divine presence and peace can only be achieved through harmony among the Jewish people.

In this insightful sermon, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath delves into the human aversion to criticism through the lens of Torah teachings and Chassidic wisdom. Using the biblical narrative of Moses rebuking the tribes of Reuben and Gad, Rabbi Bernath explores why criticism is often met with resentment and how it can be transformed into a tool for personal growth. The sermon also draws on the poignant Chassidic story of the Sefas Emes and the philosophical journey of Solomon Maimon to highlight the importance of embracing criticism as a pathway to self-improvement and spiritual elevation.
Takeaways:
- Embrace Criticism: Criticism, especially from wise and respected individuals, should be cherished as an opportunity for growth rather than a personal attack.
- Historical Lessons: The story of Moses rebuking Reuben and Gad teaches the value of patience and listening to criticism before reacting.
- Self-Esteem: Building a solid core of self-worth helps one to handle criticism gracefully and utilize it for personal development.
- Humility: Recognizing our own imperfections and areas for growth is essential in accepting and benefiting from criticism.
- Relationship Dynamics: In personal relationships, especially marriage, viewing criticism as a constructive dialogue can strengthen bonds and promote mutual understanding.

In this special sermon honoring Rabbi Bernath's birthday, he reflects on how we often let minor inconveniences overshadow the immense blessings in our lives. He connects this idea to the significance of the upcoming fast of Shiva Asar b'Tammuz, which marks the beginning of "the Three Weeks," a period of mourning in Jewish history. Through the lens of the Korban Tamid, a daily sacrifice in the Temple, Rabbi Bernath illustrates the importance of consistency and steadfastness in our spiritual practices. He emphasizes that it is the daily, unwavering observance of mitzvot that sustains the Jewish people, much like the Korban Tamid represented the unity and commitment of the Jewish nation.
Takeaways
- Appreciate Minor Inconveniences: Recognize that minor complaints often highlight the privilege of living in a free and prosperous society.
- Significance of Shiva Asar b'Tammuz: Understand the historical and spiritual importance of this fast day and the tragedies it commemorates.
- Consistency in Worship: Learn from the Korban Tamid the value of regular, consistent observance of mitzvot, which forms the foundation of Jewish survival.
- Unity Through Shared Practices: The Korban Tamid, funded by all Jews through the Machtzis HaShekel, symbolizes communal unity and shared responsibility.
- Everyday Mitzvot Matter: Realize that seemingly mundane religious practices, performed consistently, bring immense pride and joy to G-d.

In this sermon, Rabbi Bernath reflects on the tragic yet inspiring story of IDF soldier Yisrael Yudkin, who fell in Gaza during “Operation Iron Swords.” Despite the family's heartbreaking loss, their steadfast determination to honor their son with the traditional Jewish inscription "hy"d" (Hashem yikom damo - May G-d avenge his blood) on his headstone led to a significant change in military cemetery regulations.
Rabbi Bernath draws parallels between the Yudkin family's struggle, Moses's hidden fears before confronting Og, and the fearless leadership of the Previous Rebbe under Soviet oppression. These stories underscore the power of unwavering faith, the importance of honoring the fallen, and the necessity of leading with courage and resolve.
Takeaways:
- Steadfast Honor: The Yudkin family’s refusal to compromise on their son’s headstone inscription teaches the importance of honouring the deceased according to cherished traditions, even in the face of bureaucratic obstacles.
- Faith in Divine Justice: The phrase "Hashem yikom damo" (May G-d avenge his blood) is a profound declaration of faith, entrusting divine justice to uphold the sanctity of life and the Jewish people.
- Hidden Strength: Moses's silent fear and G-d’s reassurance highlight the significance of inner strength and the understanding that leadership often requires concealing personal fears to bolster communal confidence.
- Fearless Leadership: The Previous Rebbe’s fearless demeanour in the face of Soviet persecution exemplifies the power of resolute faith and the impact of leading without showing fear, inspiring followers to remain steadfast in their mission.
- Collective Responsibility: Both the Yudkin family’s public campaign and the Previous Rebbe’s underground efforts demonstrate the collective responsibility to uphold and fight for religious and cultural values, ensuring their preservation for future generations.
- Divine Mission: When pursuing G-d’s mission, whether in spreading Judaism or upholding justice for the fallen, one must act with unwavering certainty and strength, trusting in divine support for ultimate success
The sermon calls upon the community to draw inspiration from these stories, urging them to lead with courage, honor the past, and remain steadfast in their faith, trusting that G-d’s justice and support will prevail. Good Shabbos.

In this sermon, Rabbi Bernath delves into the story of Korach's rebellion, exploring it as a profound lesson in leadership and faith. The narrative begins with the disastrous report of the spies and follows with three distinct rebellions: the Maapilim, the wood chopper, and Korach. These mutinies represent various reactions to the Israelites' harsh reality of wandering in the desert. Rabbi Bernath draws parallels between these ancient revolts and modern Jewish history, offering insights into how we can find true redemption and unity by embracing our Jewish identity and faith.
Key Takeaways
- Leadership and Faith: The failure of the spies underscores the importance of steadfast leadership and unwavering faith in Divine guidance.
- Three Reactions to Crisis: The rebellions of the Maapilim, the wood chopper, and Korach highlight different ways people react to crises and challenges, each offering a lesson on the pitfalls of abandoning faith and unity.
- Modern Parallels: Historical and contemporary Jewish responses to prolonged exile and suffering reflect the ancient rebellions, emphasizing the need to maintain a strong Jewish identity.
- Rebbe's Teachings: The Lubavitcher Rebbe's insights on Jewish unity and identity provide a framework for overcoming spiritual crises and achieving true redemption.
- Ultimate Redemption: The sermon calls for a deeper yearning for Moshiach and the ultimate fulfillment of the Divine purpose, beyond superficial achievements and temporary relief.

In this sermon, Rabbi Bernath delves into the lesser-known story of the Maapilim, a group of Israelites who, against G-d's decree, attempted to enter the Promised Land after repenting for their initial refusal. Despite their newfound determination, their efforts were met with failure.
Through this narrative, Rabbi Bernath explores the themes of repentance, unity, and the importance of collective action in achieving spiritual goals. He draws a parallel to the story of Elisha Ben Avuya, emphasizing that true repentance requires perseverance and collective commitment.
Takeaways:
- Repentance and Timing: True repentance must align with G-d’s will and timing. The Maapilim’s attempt was sincere but mistimed.
- Unity in Action: Spiritual success requires collective effort. Individual zeal must be matched by communal support and readiness.
- Perseverance in Teshuvah: The story of Elisha Ben Avuya teaches that one must persist in repentance, even when it seems G-d has closed the door.
- Family and Community: Spiritual journeys are most successful when they involve and uplift the entire family and community.
Full Summary:
Introduction:
- Introduction to the concept of Maapilim.
- Connection to this week’s Parshah, mentioning the Meraglim (spies).

- Recap of the Meraglim and the Israelites' initial refusal to enter the Promised Land.
- G-d’s decree that the current generation would perish in the desert.
- The Israelites’ repentance and the emergence of the Maapilim.
- The Maapilim's attempt to enter the Promised Land and their defeat.
Analysis:
- The Rebbe’s question: Why was the Maapilim’s repentance not accepted?
- The principle that “Nothing stands in the way of teshuvah.”
- Comparison to the story of Elisha Ben Avuya.
- Elisha’s story and his perceived exclusion from repentance.

Lessons and Insights:
- The importance of timing and alignment with G-d’s will in repentance.

In this enlightening episode, we delve into a humorous yet profound Chassidic story about a man who evaded his financial obligations, only to be reminded of the deeper spiritual significance of integrity and responsibility. Through the wisdom of the Chassidic sages and the teachings of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, we explore the concept of ownership, the sacredness of material possessions, and the divine partnership in every transaction. This episode unpacks the intersection of faith, ethics, and financial honesty, emphasizing the importance of respecting G-d’s commandments in our everyday dealings.
Key Takeaways:
- Spiritual Significance of Ownership: Understanding that material possessions and financial obligations are part of a divine partnership with G-d.
- Ethical Integrity: Highlighting the importance of honesty and responsibility in financial matters as a reflection of one’s spiritual integrity.

In this captivating sermon, we delve into a pivotal moment in diplomatic history. James Baker, the U.S. Secretary of State during George H.W. Bush’s presidency, clashed with Israel over security concessions. Meanwhile, a newly-appointed Israeli Foreign Minister, David Levy, faced a critical meeting with Baker. The Rebbe’s powerful message—delivered by two Chabad Rabbis—urged Levy to stand strong for Israel’s security. What unfolded in that room shaped their relationship and left a lasting legacy.
Takeaways:
- The Rebbe’s Influence: The Rebbe’s guidance transcended religious boundaries, impacting political decisions and relationships. His call for strength resonated with David Levy, empowering him during a crucial diplomatic encounter.
- Diplomacy and Bravery: Levy’s bold response to Baker’s demands exemplified the courage of a leader defending his nation’s sovereignty. His refusal to be summoned without due respect set the tone for their future interactions.
- Friendship Amidst Tensions: Despite initial friction, Baker and Levy eventually forged a friendship. Their story reminds us that even in high-stakes diplomacy, personal connections can bridge gaps and create lasting bonds.
Note: Mr. David Levy’s recent passing adds poignancy to this historical account, underscoring the enduring impact of his legacy.

In this thought-provoking class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath delves into the profound questions surrounding belief in a higher power and the relevance of divine concern in our daily lives. With a focus on the Jewish perspective, Rabbi Bernath explores the increasing trend of young people believing in a higher power despite their disinterest in organized religion. He tackles essential questions: Does the Creator truly care about our actions? Is it possible to communicate with the infinite? Drawing on the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, Rabbi Bernath illustrates how this monumental event established a direct line of connection between G-d and humanity, highlighting the significance of the commandments and the opportunity for a profound relationship with the Divine.
Key Takeaways:
- Positive Trend: There is a growing trend among young people to believe in a higher power, indicating a shift towards faith despite a disinterest in organized religion.
- Essential Questions: Many people grapple with whether the Creator cares about their actions and if it's possible to communicate with an infinite power.
- Giving of the Torah: The event at Mount Sinai demonstrates G-d's care and communication with humanity, establishing a direct connection through the commandments.
- Significance of Modesty: The second giving of the Tablets, done discreetly, teaches the value of modesty and the profound nature of private acts of faith.
- Joyous Celebration: The giving of the Torah was a grand event to signify its importance and arouse a sense of celebration among the Jewish people.

This class delves into the profound historical and moral parallels between two of the most destructive ideologies: Nazism and radical Islamism, exemplified by Hamas. The discussion centres around the significance of the Ten Commandments, particularly the first commandment ("I am the Lord your G-d") and the sixth commandment ("You shall not murder"), and how these commandments are engraved on two separate tablets.
The episode highlights how these commandments should be read both vertically and horizontally, emphasizing the inseparability of faith in G-d and the prohibition against murder. The podcast also explores how different historical and ideological movements have attempted to separate these two commandments, leading to catastrophic moral failures.
Key Takeaways:
- Two Tablets and Moral Juxtaposition:
- The Ten Commandments were engraved on two tablets to be read in two directions, linking faith in G-d with moral imperatives.
- The vertical reading connects each commandment to its respective place, while the horizontal reading juxtaposes the importance of belief in G-d with the sanctity of human life.
- Failures of Enlightenment and Religious Extremism:
- Enlightenment philosophers believed that moral behavior could be sustained without religious faith, but the Holocaust demonstrated the failure of this belief.
- Conversely, religious extremism, as seen in Islamist terrorism, divorces the commandment "You shall not murder" from the belief in G-d, leading to atrocities committed in the name of faith.
- Historical Context and Moral Lessons:
- The Nazi regime, despite its cultural and scientific advancements, perpetrated the Holocaust, showing the dangers of morality devoid of G-d. Radical Islamist groups, including Hamas, commit heinous acts while claiming religious justification, undermining the true essence of faith.
- The Role of Faith in Ensuring Morality:
- True faith in G-d includes the recognition of the sanctity of every human life.
- A society that abandons either the belief in G-d or the prohibition against murder can devolve into monstrosity.
- Contemporary Relevance:
- The ongoing threat of Islamist terrorism, as exemplified by Hamas, reflects the same dangerous separation of divine faith and moral action.
- Upholding both divine commandments is essential for a just and humane society.
Reflecting on the intertwined nature of faith and morality as presented in the Ten Commandments can guide us in creating a world where human life is valued and respected. The juxtaposition of "I am the Lord your G-d" and "You shall not murder" serves as a timeless reminder of the need to ground our ethical principles in a higher, divine truth.

Rabbi Bernath explains that contrary to common belief, emotional growth continues throughout one’s life. Love, being essential for both giving and receiving, acts as a foundation for all human interactions and transcends the mere act of feeling. The discussion highlights the complexity of love, showing that it involves multiple aspects such as discipline, compassion, endurance, humility, bonding, and sovereignty, each of which must be balanced to foster healthy relationships and emotional well-being.
Key Takeaways
- Emotional Examination: The importance of examining one's emotions to achieve emotional freedom and health. This process involves questioning and analyzing one's emotional tendencies and balances.
- The Complexity of Love: Love is multifaceted, requiring not just the capacity to love others but also discipline to modulate this love, compassion to understand others, endurance to maintain love over time, humility to yield and bond, and sovereignty that respects both parties' dignity.
- Emotional Growth as a Lifelong Process: Emotional maturity is not static and continues to develop throughout life, unlike the often static perception of intellectual or financial growth.
- Sevenfold Approach to Each Emotion: In Kabbalah, each emotion is explored through seven subcategories, adding depth to understanding and managing these emotions effectively.
Rabbi Yisroel Bernath, named “La Rabbin de Lamour” by the La Presse online daily and “Montreal’s Hipster Rabbi” by VICELAND’s Matty Matheson, is director at Chabad of NDG and the Jewish Chaplain at Concordia University in Montreal.

Welcome to our special Passover episode, where we explore the profound layers of the Passover Seder, a ceremony that beautifully encapsulates over three millennia of Jewish history and identity. In this episode, we discuss the fifteen steps of the Seder, from Kiddush to the festive meal, and delve into the powerful narratives and symbols that connect us to our ancestors.
We share a humorous yet insightful exchange between a rabbi and an astrophysics professor, which cleverly illustrates the depth of Talmudic study compared to the simplification of complex ideas. The conversation highlights how Jewish traditions and teachings are much more than historical records; they are vibrant memories passed down through generations, forming a continuous link back to the Exodus from Egypt.
We reflect on how the presence of multiple generations at the Seder table turns these historical events into a vivid collective memory, extending back hundreds of years and forward into future gatherings. This episode also touches on the intriguing absence of certain words in Biblical Hebrew, such as "history," which is replaced with "memory" — a concept deeply ingrained in Jewish culture.
Join us as we discuss how the Passover Seder transcends mere historical recounting, acting instead as a dynamic memory that engages with the past as a living part of our present and future. We conclude with a powerful message on transforming pain into blessing, inspired by the life of Henrietta Szold, who turned personal hardship into a legacy of love and humanitarianism.
Main Takeaways:
- The Seder as a Link Across Time: The Passover Seder is not just a ritual but a bridge connecting 3,300 years of Jewish history through family stories and traditions passed down through generations.
- Memory Over History: The episode explores why the Hebrew language prefers the term "memory" over "history," emphasizing personal and collective identity formation through remembered experiences rather than impersonal historical events.
- Cultural Insights: A look at how the absence of certain words in Hebrew, like "history" and "civility," reflects deeper cultural values, with "memory" (zachor) and "chutzpah" taking prominent roles.
- Humor and Wisdom: The interaction between the rabbi and the professor serves as a metaphor for the depth and complexity of Jewish teachings and the importance of continual learning and interpretation.
- Transforming Pain into Blessing: Inspired by Henrietta Szold's story, the episode underscores a fundamental Jewish principle of using personal and historical suffering as a springboard for empathy, community service, and positive action.

Rabbi Yisroel Bernath discusses the upcoming solar eclipse and the lessons we can learn from it. He explores the relationship between the sun and the moon, highlighting the dangers of jealousy and the importance of independent and critical thought. He also delves into the significance of the Torah's laws of kashrut (keeping kosher) and how they teach us about our connection to G-d. Rabbi Bernath emphasizes the need for self-reflection, learning from our experiences, and standing up for what is right.
Takeaways
- The solar eclipse serves as a reminder of the power and beauty of nature and the need for self-reflection.
- Jealousy is a destructive emotion that should be avoided at all costs.
- Independent and critical thought is a valuable trait that should be encouraged, especially in the pursuit of knowledge and education.
- The Torah's laws of kashrut teach us about our connection to God and the importance of following commandments.
- We should learn from our experiences and strive to be better individuals, standing up for what is right.
Sound Bites
- "So many arguments in our world, similar to the moon and the sun, two rulers cannot rule over the same space."
- "Our sages specifically encourage envy amongst Torah scholars. It says in the Talmud, the envy of the scholars increases wisdom."
- "The value of independent and critical thought is a powerful and important value that the world desperately needs."

In the story of the seventh plague, hail, Pharaoh finally admits he was wrong after seeing hail mixed with fire from the sky—a strange and powerful miracle. This moment shows us that even someone as stubborn and self-centered as Pharaoh can have a moment of realization. The mix of fire and ice in the hail represents Pharaoh's personality: cold and unfeeling towards others but fiery and passionate about his own needs.
The reason the plague was hail is significant too. Egypt didn't depend on rain because of the Nile River, so they never looked up and depended on something higher than themselves. This is like Pharaoh's narcissism, where he only depended on himself and never considered a higher power or the needs of others.
However, Pharaoh's realization was short-lived, teaching us that overcoming deep-seated selfishness requires more than just a moment of clarity. It needs a fundamental change in how one views themselves and their place in the world.
Takeaways:
- Self-reflection is crucial: Even the most stubborn person can have moments of clarity. It's important to reflect on our actions and consider their impact on others.
- Empathy over ego: The story teaches the importance of caring for others, not just ourselves. Being aware of others' feelings and needs helps us grow as individuals.
- The role of humility: Recognizing a higher power or something greater than ourselves can help combat selfishness. It's a reminder that we're not the center of the universe.
- Change takes time: True change in character and perspective is not instantaneous; it requires continuous effort and humility.
By learning from Pharaoh's mistake, we're reminded to stay empathetic, humble, and open to change, ensuring we don't fall into the trap of self-obsession.

This episode dances around the age-old question, "What is Love?", the exploration begins with a universal quandary: the reason we question love's essence often stems from feelings of deficiency—either doubting the love from someone special or facing accusations of insufficient love ourselves. It suggests a poignant truth: we are most inclined to philosophize about love when its presence is questioned or feels lacking, much like no one questions the nature of a pastrami sandwich whilst enjoying one.
The narrative then divides the quest into two lanes: "Am I Loved?" and "Do I Love?", indicating that understanding love's impact on us can illuminate how we express love towards others. Love, as presented, is not an elusive sentiment detected by a mysterious heart's sensor but rather a series of tangible experiences perceived through our senses, validated by actions and expressions that signal to our brains and, consequently, to our hearts, the presence of love.
King Solomon's words in Proverbs "As water reflects a man’s face back to him, so is the heart of one man to another" is invoked to underscore that love, at its core, is a reflection, a reciprocal action that one can feel and recognize through the treatment they receive.
The episode emphasizes that love is fundamentally an action. It shifts the narrative from abstract conceptualization to practical expression, illustrating that love, akin to running or swimming, is defined by its enactment. The Hebrew word for love, "ahavah", rooted in the act of giving, encapsulates this ideology, positing that genuine love must manifest through tangible acts of kindness and care.
The discussion culminates with a divine perspective on love, referencing the commandment to love G-d, not as an emotional imposition but as a directive towards actionable love. This divine instruction echoes the broader theme: love is verified and validated through actions rather than mere feelings or declarations.
Takeaways:
- Love as Reflection and Recognition: We seek the essence of love most acutely when its presence is in doubt. True love, however, is recognized through the actions and treatment we receive and give.
- Love is Action, Not Just Emotion: The essence of love is captured not in abstract contemplation but in concrete actions and behaviors that convey care and affection.
- The Divine Instruction on Love: The command to love God highlights the action-oriented nature of love, pushing us towards deeds of kindness as the true measure of love.
In essence, to question "What is Love?" is to embark on a journey from doubt to action, from introspection to expression, leading us to understand that the truest answer lies in how we act and respond to love in our lives. Love, therefore, is not just a state of being but a series of deliberate, loving actions that reflect our deepest commitments to others.

The conversation explores the contributions of Jews to the world and the values that Judaism has brought to humanity. It emphasizes the importance of focusing on the gifts of Judaism rather than boasting about Jewish accomplishments. The chapters cover topics such as the inventions and achievements of Jews, the gift of Shabbat, the respect for women in Jewish tradition, the values of justice and equality, and the importance of independent critical thinking.
Takeaways
- Jews have made significant contributions to various fields, including inventions and Nobel Prizes.
- The gift of Shabbat, a day of rest, is a unique contribution of Judaism.
- Judaism promotes respect for women and their equal say in decision-making.
- The Torah introduced values of justice, equality, and the prohibition of slavery.
- Independent critical thinking is a valuable gift of Judaism that should be nurtured and passed on.

- The Setting: After the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, the Jewish people are subjects under King Ahasuerus of Persia. The story begins with the king throwing a grand party, during which Queen Vashti is banished for her refusal to display her beauty to the guests.
- Esther's Rise to Queen: Seeking a new queen, Ahasuerus holds a beauty contest. Esther, a Jewish girl raised by her cousin Mordechai, is chosen despite her reluctance and without revealing her Jewish identity.
- Mordechai's Discovery: Mordechai uncovers a plot to assassinate the king and reports it, saving Ahasuerus's life.
- Haman's Plot: Haman, the prime minister and a Jew-hater, becomes infuriated with Mordechai's refusal to bow to him. He convinces the king to issue a decree to annihilate all Jews on the 13th of Adar.
- Esther's Courage: Upon learning of Haman's decree, Mordechai convinces Esther to intervene. Esther bravely approaches the king, revealing her Jewish identity and exposing Haman's plot.
- The Turn of Events: The king orders Haman's execution on the gallows originally intended for Mordechai. Esther and Mordechai then write a new decree allowing Jews to defend themselves.
- Victory and Celebration: The Jews defeat their enemies across the empire, and the day of their victory, the 14th of Adar, is established as the joyous holiday of Purim, celebrating the miraculous turn of events that saved them.

Navigating the choppy waters of our inner Nile, where the Pharaoh of Negative Thought reigns supreme, Rabbi Bernath offers a sage map for the modern soul's Exodus. Picture this: an inner Pharaoh, all ego and no ear, refusing the logic we offer as liberally as matzah at Pesach. It's an ancient tale, yet as current as our latest tweet.
Enter Moshe, our timeless hero, speaking Hebrew to a Pharaoh who's as lost in translation as a tourist without Google Maps. The catch? It's not about the words, but the Divine energy they carry, slicing through stubbornness like a hot knife through butter.
Consider the Chafetz Chaim, whose Yiddish plea melted Polish hearts without a single word understood—a testament to the soul's language, transcending the babble of Babel.
Then there's the 7/38/55 rule, a reminder that our vibes speak louder than our vocabulary. The body's ballet and the tone's tune tell tales our tongues can't touch.
So when faced with our own Pharaoh—be it doubt, fear, or the Sunday Scaries—Rabbi Bernath advises a strategy as bold as it is biblical: Speak in your soul's native tongue. No translation needed. For it's not the clarity of argument, but the purity of our Divine essence, that can topple tyranny within.
In essence, Rabbi Bernath suggests, when logic's light dims and reason's ropes fray, it's time to unfurl the banner of our inherent holiness, declaring our truths in a language beyond words. Like Moshe, we stand before our inner Pharaoh not to debate, but to demonstrate—a conduit of Divine will, unyielding and unfiltered.
In doing so, we don't just speak to our shadows; we illuminate them, transforming the inner Egypt into a land flowing with milk, honey, and the sweet freedom of self-mastery. So let's raise our staffs, part our personal Red Seas, and march towards a promised land of inner peace and purpose, one holy utterance at a time.

In this inspiring episode, we dive into the heart of Purim Katan, a day that mirrors the messages of resilience and faith found in Purim itself, especially during leap years. We'll journey back to 1920, amidst the chaos of the Russian Revolution, to a moment of audacious defiance by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Sholom Ber Schneersohn, during a Purim Farbrengen. Despite the mortal danger presented by the Bolsheviks' intrusion, the Rebbe's fearless proclamation that "Judaism will never die" sets the stage for a story of miraculous survival and unwavering courage.
We follow the legacy of bravery through to his son, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak, during a similarly tense Purim Katan Farbrengen in 1927. His open challenge to the Soviets, emphasizing the importance of Jewish education and the spiritual warfare for the souls of Jewish children, showcases a breathtaking level of heroism and dedication to preserving Judaism at all costs.
The narrative reaches a poignant climax with the Rebbe's dramatic arrest and subsequent liberation, a testament to the power of faith, international advocacy, and divine intervention. Fast forward 65 years to 1992, when the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, reiterates the call for self-sacrifice in the name of Judaism, urging not just a readiness to die for one's faith but to live with a sense of urgency and purpose towards spiritual growth and the hastening of the Moshiach.
As we celebrate Purim Katan and reflect on these powerful stories of resilience, defiance, and hope, we are reminded of the legacy left by generations of Rebbes. Their lives and teachings inspire us to live with courage, to fight for what is right, and to dream of a world filled with peace, holiness, and kindness. Join us as we explore these themes and more, drawing lessons from the past that resonate with timeless relevance and urging us forward in our collective journey towards a brighter future.
Dedicated in honour of Samuel & Diego Chiche

In this week’s Torah portion, Tetzaveh, we embark on a journey of absence that paradoxically illuminates presence, a mystical dance where what is not seen or heard whispers louder than the clamor of what is. Welcome to "Echoes of the Unseen," an episode that delves into the human penchant for fixating on the missing pieces, rather than the mosaic of abundance that surrounds us.
Imagine, if you will, a family in mourning, enveloped by a community's embrace, yet fixated on the one who failed to show. Or a newly engaged couple, showered with well-wishes, yet stewing over a single absent congratulation. It's a peculiar focus, isn't it? Our hearts, like mischievous sprites, skipping over a hundred hellos to sulk over one silent goodbye.
This brings us to the heart of our Torah reading. In a curious twist of fate, or perhaps divine choreography, Moses, our indefatigable leader, finds his name conspicuously absent from this week's parsha, Tetzaveh. A parsha that ironically, speaks of him more than any other, precisely because he is not mentioned. It's as if by omitting his name, the Torah invites us into a deeper engagement, prompting us to ponder, "Where is Moses?"
The Rebbe, drawing on the insight of the Baal HaTurim, connects this to Moses' selfless plea to be erased from the divine narrative should his people not be forgiven. Thus, in a paradoxical act of presence through absence, Moses' name is etched deeper into the fabric of our collective memory.
And so, as we approach Purim, we encounter another divine irony in the Scroll of Esther. Here, G-d's name is nowhere to be found, yet, like the story of Tetzaveh, G-d's presence is palpable in every line, every turn of fate. This hiddenness serves as a mirror to our lives, where divine orchestration often masquerades as coincidence, inviting us to seek the hidden hand that guides us.
Through the lens of David and Jonathan's story, we are reminded of the potency of what is not said, what is not seen. David, the absent guest at Saul's table, becomes the focal point, his empty seat a silent testament to the turmoil and loyalty that defines his and Jonathan's bond.
"Echoes of the Unseen" invites us to consider how absence shapes our perception, how the unseen and unsaid can sometimes speak the loudest. In the missing names and silent spaces, we find a call to presence, an invitation to see beyond the visible, to listen for the whispers of what is not spoken, and in doing so, perhaps understand the divine and human narratives more profoundly.
So, as we navigate the landscapes of loss and love, let us embrace the peculiar focus, for in the spaces between, in the silence and the absence, lies the potential for deeper connection, understanding, and spiritual awakening.
Shabbat Shalom!

Rabbi Yisroel and Sara Bernath share the essence of their 19-year-strong relationship, underlining that real-life experience is their most credible guide to discussing love and partnership. They advise looking beyond the preconceived notions of a perfect relationship, emphasizing the importance of embracing the journey's unexpected turns with an open heart.
Sara's key to a lasting bond lies in adaptability and openness, suggesting that the magic of a relationship unfolds in the spontaneous moments rather than in meeting specific expectations. The Bernaths debunk the myth of a singular, ideal partner, advocating for the significance of effort and mutual growth within a relationship.
Their wisdom encapsulates seeking guidance from those who have successfully navigated the complexities of love, highlighting that while relationships require work, they should enrich your life rather than feel like a chore. This candid conversation serves as a roadmap for building and maintaining a healthy, fulfilling relationship that thrives on flexibility, effort, and the joy of shared experiences.

Tonight’s message enriched by the heartfelt sermon shared by Bosmat Gabay Loebenberg in loving memory of her daughter Laura. Amid the backdrop of conflict, discover stories of individuals traveling to Israel to offer support, only to find themselves deeply inspired by the resilience and global concern of its people. This narrative intertwines with the legacy of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev, whose advocacy and love for the Jewish community highlight the beauty of seeing the divine in everyday moments.
We delve into the significance of holiday names and the teachings of the Ark and Cherubim, uncovering layers of mutual respect and admiration between God and the Jewish people, reflecting the essence of a healthy, supportive relationship. Bosmat's sermon, a beacon of love and remembrance, adds a personal dimension, reminding us of the strength drawn from community and faith during life's most challenging times.
Join us on this journey of reflection, as we explore how adversity can foster an environment of care and concern beyond our immediate circles, inspired by divine teachings and the enduring memory of Laura. Together, we celebrate unity, empathy, and the indomitable spirit of the Jewish heart, learning from each other how to inspire and be inspired, even in the face of loss.
This sermon is dedicated in loving memory of Rivkah Laura bat Asher V’Bosmat. May her memory be for a blessing.

Embark on a thought-provoking journey with Rabbi Bernath in this episode "Jerusalem in the Koran," where the enigmatic absence of Jerusalem from the Koran's text sparks a historical and spiritual exploration. Dive deep into the Ummayyad Dynasty's strategic elevation of Jerusalem to a holy city to rival Mecca, leveraging the tale of Muhammad's celestial ascension from the newly christened Masjid Al-Aksa. This maneuver intertwines with the Jewish narrative of prophets transcending earthly bounds, exemplified by Elijah's fiery ascent, highlighting the universal quest for divine closeness.
Rabbi Bernath navigates these tales with a blend of historical insight and spiritual wisdom, questioning the true zenith of spiritual achievement. While figures like Moses and the Baal Shem Tov embrace their earthly departures, the podcast contemplates the essence of divine presence on Earth. Through the lens of Judaism, where the divine is drawn down to dwell among us, Rabbi Bernath redefines the spiritual goal not as ascending to heaven, but as sanctifying the earthly realm.
The construction of the Mishkan (Tabernacle) becomes a focal point, challenging the notion of confining the Infinite into a physical space, and instead proposing it as a bridge connecting the divine and the mundane. This concept is further explored through the mission of drawing the Shechina (Divine Presence) into our world, emphasizing Judaism's unique perspective on the ultimate spiritual quest.
"Jerusalem in the Koran" isn't just a historical recounting; it's an invitation to reflect on our place within the cosmos, the role of sacred spaces, and the pursuit of a life filled with divine purpose. Rabbi Bernath, with his characteristic wit and insight, encourages listeners to recognize the divine party host among us, urging us to live in a manner that acknowledges and celebrates the sacredness of our world and our actions within it.

Today we explore why the month of Adar is 60 days and the holiday of Purim symbolize an unending joy for the Jewish people. We dive into the historical backdrop of Purim, focusing on a time when the Jewish nation faced its darkest hour under the threat of Haman's plot. Despite these dire circumstances, the story of Purim emerges as a testament to the Jewish people's resilience and their deep-rooted bond with G‑d.
Each episode will unpack the reasons behind the joy of Purim extending throughout the entire month of Adar, offering insights into how adversity was transformed into celebration. We'll explore the critical moments that led to Haman's downfall, the significance of the lottery falling in Adar, and how what seemed to be the worst possible timing turned into a triumph of spirit and faith.
"Joy in Adar" invites listeners to reflect on the essence of Purim's joy—celebrating not just a victory over external enemies but the enduring strength of the Jewish identity and its eternal relationship with the Divine. Join us for a journey of understanding, celebrating how even in the lowest points, our connection with G‑d remains unshaken, making Adar the happiest month of the year.

This week’s sermon reflects on the resilience and unity of our community. The book 'Buried by the Times' sheds light on a past where the Holocaust's truth struggled to find its rightful place in public consciousness, hidden away in the back pages of history's draft. Yet, this story isn't just about what was buried; it's a call to unearth our collective strength and purpose.
Parshat Yitro brings the powerful symbol of the shofar, reminding us that awakening and unity are at the heart of our journey. From the echoes of the Holocaust to the triumphs of the Six-Day War, we've seen the shofar's call to action in our own times, stirring us to remember, to unite, and to act with courage and love.
As we reflect on our history, we see not just the challenges, but the incredible victories and the miracles that have shaped us. These stories teach us that it's not just about surviving; it's about thriving, about taking pride in our identity, and about moving forward with positive action.
Let's carry this spirit into every aspect of our lives, embracing our heritage with joy and a commitment to making a difference. Together, we're not just remembering the past; we're building a future filled with light, learning, and love.

🔍📜 Exploring Amalek: Ancient Hatred in Modern Times 🔍📜
In a recent, controversial lawsuit brought by South Africa against Israel at the International Court of Justice, the ancient biblical figure of Amalek has resurfaced in a modern geopolitical debate. Accusations of genocide hinge on Prime Minister Netanyahu's invocation of the Torah's command to "remember what Amalek did to you" in the context of Israel's stance against Hamas. This historical reference has sparked intense discussion and scrutiny, especially given the evidence presented, including a video of soldiers and statements from a Knesset member relating to Amalek.
🌍🕊️ Amalek's Legacy: From Biblical Times to Today's Struggles 🌍🕊️
Amalek, historically, was the grandson of Esau and is emblematic of baseless hatred towards the Jewish people. This enmity is deeply rooted in Jewish history, with the Amalekites attacking the Israelites unprovoked as they journeyed through the Sinai Desert after their exodus from Egypt. The Torah's recounting of this ancient conflict underscores a relentless, generational animosity that poses a perpetual challenge to peace and morality. The episode of Moses and Joshua battling Amalek, and the divine command to erase Amalek's memory, symbolizes the ongoing struggle against unfounded hatred and evil.
🤔💭 Contemporary Reflections: Understanding and Overcoming Doubt 🤔💭
In Chassidic thought, Amalek represents the concept of 'doubt' (safek), challenging faith and moral certainty. This allegorical interpretation urges introspection, especially in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the broader challenges facing the Jewish community. The internal convictions regarding the Land of Israel, its history, and its spiritual significance are critical in this discourse. The teachings emphasize the importance of nurturing a strong connection to Judaism and Torah, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose, as a means to counter the "spiritual Amalek" of our times.

On Yud Shevat 5711 (1951), the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi MM Schneerson, revolutionized Jewish leadership. He declared a bold vision, not merely to anticipate Moshiach in a distant future, but to actively work towards this era in our lifetime. This audacious goal was set against the backdrop of post-Holocaust Jewish reality, challenging every Jew to contribute to this ultimate redemption.
The Rebbe's approach to leadership was groundbreaking. He insisted on a partnership model, where he would guide, but each individual was responsible for their own spiritual and worldly contribution. This was exemplified in his Sunday interactions, where the simple act of giving a dollar for charity transformed recipients into 'shluchim,' agents of positive change and personal responsibility.
The essence of the Rebbe's philosophy was beautifully encapsulated in his interaction with Gabriel Erem. Rather than focusing on his own greatness, the Rebbe redirected attention to the potential within every Jew. By redefining 'tzadik' and 'rebbe,' he democratized spiritual greatness, making it accessible to all. His teachings continue to inspire a vision where personal achievement and universal perfection are inextricably linked, empowering every Jew to be a leader in their own right.

"What is Love?" Love is redefined beyond the conventional understanding of a mere emotion or a passive state of being. We emphasized that love is an obligation and a directive, as illustrated in Leviticus 19:18, which commands to "love your fellow as yourself." This idea suggests that love is not just a spontaneous feeling but an active choice and action. Before one can extend love to others, it's crucial to first develop a sense of love for oneself. This foundational self-love sets the stage for meaningful and authentic relationships with others.
We further explored the idea that the essence of love is deeply rooted in the act of giving. It posits that love begins with giving and grows through consistent, thoughtful acts of kindness and generosity. This concept challenges the popular notion of love as a feeling that happens to us, suggesting instead that love is something we actively create through our actions. The more we give, the deeper our capacity for love becomes. This principle is encapsulated in the phrase, "First comes giving, then comes love," highlighting the transformative power of giving in cultivating and sustaining love. The chapter concludes by asserting that love is not just about feelings but about the deliberate and ongoing practice of giving, which ultimately shapes and strengthens our relationships.

In light of the terrible atrocities perpetrated against our brothers and sisters in Israel, I just returned from Israel with a report with Prayer, Charity and Study.
We need to unite! We have all been praying to G-d, doing more Mitzvot and whatever else we can to help Israel. Everyone has their role to fill in providing help and support. Let us do what we can -- even in some small measure -- to alleviate some of the suffering. Let us show our solidarity with the people of Israel by taking on an extra Mitzvah at https://onemitzvah.org/israel/rabbi-bernaths-team and by donating to help the wounded and the families who have lost loved ones.
Donate in Canadian dollars here https://ndg.chabadsuite.net/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=36 and in US dollars https://ndg.chabadsuite.net/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=15 (both links are tax-deductible)
May we very soon see the fulfillment of the prophecy that a time will come when "One nation will not lift a sword against another nation, and they will beat their swords into plowshares" -- with the speedy arrival of Moshiach, Amen!
With prayers for peace in the Holy Land and around the world.
Rabbi Yisroel Bernath

In light of the terrible atrocities perpetrated against our brothers and sisters in Israel, with G-d’s help, I plan to go to Israel this coming Motzei Shabbat (Saturday Night).
It was not an easy decision for Sara and I to make and we weighed this heavily for a few days before deciding. Together, with a small group of rabbis, we will visit soldiers, those who have been wounded and are recovering in hospitals, broken families who have lost their homes, families in mourning or awaiting the fate of their loved ones in captivity, and government officials.
Our goal is to inspire, uplift, and send a message of hope that we in the Diaspora stand with our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land!
Some specific places I will visit include the Soroka Hospital in Beer Sheva, the largest hospital in Southern Israel, where many of the wounded are currently residing. I will also be visiting wounded soldiers and other victims from the terror attack at the El Shomer Hospital, homes of people sitting shiva, as well as army bases to provide support to our soldiers.
I hope to bring even a small measure of comfort and Chizuk (encouragement) by showing them that our community stands with them and cares tremendously about them!
We need to unite! We have all been praying to G-d, doing more Mitzvot and whatever else we can to help Israel. Everyone has their role to fill in providing help and support. Let us do what we can -- even in some small measure -- to alleviate some of the suffering. Let us show our solidarity with the people of Israel by taking on an extra Mitzvah at https://onemitzvah.org/israel/rabbi-bernaths-team and by donating to help the wounded and the families who have lost loved ones. Donate in Canadian dollars here https://ndg.chabadsuite.net/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=36 and in US dollars https://ndg.chabadsuite.net/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=15 (both links are tax-deductible)
While in Israel, I will personally distribute these funds to families in need. We want to distribute as much funding as possible to help those in need in this desperate time. Please participate in this Mitzvah. How beautiful will it be to be able to show up to comfort the mourners, not only with a show of emotional support, but an envelope for them as well.
You are also welcome to take part in this mission by preparing uplifting cards, letters, and artwork that I will distribute during my visit.
Anyone who takes part in any way in my trip will get a link to join a special WhatsApp group where I will update you in realtime.
May we very soon see the fulfillment of the prophecy that a time will come when "One nation will not lift a sword against another nation, and they will beat their swords into plowshares" -- with the speedy arrival of Moshiach, Amen!
With prayers for peace in the Holy Land and around the world.
Rabbi Yisroel Bernath

I share with you some heartfelt words about the situation in Israel and my sentiments — at a confusing and devastating time. This may seem simple but in times of crisis it’s hard to stay focused — yet it’s imperative that we do.
There is only today. Don’t think about tomorrow. Don’t think about next week. It's about today and it’s about action. Remaining stunned, immobile, and continuously processing are luxuries we simply don't have. We must focus on what we can do today!
Here's a few things you can do:
-
Go through the contacts in your phone and start texting people in Israel to let them know you are thinking of them. Include in this group people who you don’t know so well. A good word and a demonstration of love from a geographical distance goes a million miles.
-
The needs in Israel right now are tremendous. There are thousands of organizations and causes out there. Everyone is doing a good job — and they all need support. I believe we need to tap into our networks and people on the ground in Israel to see how we can help individuals. We need to be the eyes and ears via our contacts to see what we can do to help the individual on the street. Let's be there for our family! Our community has been involved in sending supplies to the front lines. Every dollar you give goes directly to them and we will cover the credit card fees: https://ndg.chabadsuite.net/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=36

We have joined with Jews across the world for the 1 Million Mitzvah Campaign: https://onemitzvah.org/israel/rabbi-bernaths-team.

Recognize that the news updates are few at this point, the devastation is real, and though it seems like a bad dream, unfortunately it’s not. We must be mentally strong as we need to be part of the armour of the Jewish nation. If that means not being glued to the news, recognize that. It requires changing the conversation from ‘how could it be’ to ‘what can we do’. I believe that it will both give Israel the greatest support and help restore the balance in your life that you’re seeking. Action does that as does the faith that we will endure. We are not victims and we can’t allow ourselves to feel that

The weight of this year has been felt deeply by each of us. The challenges faced and the moments of introspection have led us on a quest for clarity, seeking ways to mend our hearts and those of the people around us. At the crossroads of introspection, we often ask: How do we truly forgive? What lessons are we meant to take forward, and what burdens should we lay down?
We invite you to embark on a profound exploration with Rabbi Yisroel Bernath. Dive deep into the timeless wisdom and teachings on forgiveness, self-love, and the transformative power of the High Holidays.
Event Highlights:
Finding Meaning in Struggle: Deciphering the lessons of this challenging year and understanding its greater purpose in our lives.
The Art of Letting Go: Tools and teachings on how to release pain, forgive others, and most importantly, forgive ourselves.
Embracing Love: Cultivating self-love and extending that love to others.
The Secrets of Healing: Learn simple, yet powerful techniques to promote healing for yourself and others as we welcome the new year.
Who do we offer our forgiveness to, and how do we seek it in return? Join us for this transformative experience as Rabbi Bernath sheds light on these questions and guides us on a journey of renewal, understanding, and hope.
Come with an open heart and leave with a spirit renewed. We look forward to welcoming you to this special gathering.

Gave this special workshop for Unite To Study and Noahide International this evening. I told the entire story of Abraham's childhood, as told in the Midrash. I used the Young Avraham film as a visual for the storytelling. It was really special to use Young Avraham and honour 10 years since it was released. I hope this enlightens your Torah study this week. You can watch it on my facebook page and YouTube channel.

A Special Pre-High Holidays Sermon and Workshop with Rabbi Yisroel Bernath
This year has been a difficult one for all of us. We find ourselves searching for ways to forgive and forget, searching for answers, inspiration and meaning.
We want to love ourselves and others. We want to understand what this all means. What does it all really mean?
How do we let it all go? What do we hold onto and what don't we hold onto? Who do we forgive and how will we be forgiven?
Join Rabbi Yisroel Bernath for this incredible High Holiday journey. You will learn simple secrets for healing yourself and others this new year.

An Academic’s Struggle to Reconcile Jewish Heritage with Scientific Theory. Is man’s origin from an ape or from Adam? How old exactly is our world? These are a few of the issues that appear to pit modern scientific theory against traditional Jewish belief. Join us for an incredible evening with award-winning lecturer and Professor of Chemistry Dr. Binyomin Abrams as he takes us on a personal journey of self-discovery and bridges the gap between the seemingly conflicting worlds of science and Judaism.
About Dr. Binyomin Abrams Dr. Binyomin Abrams is a senior Professor of Chemical Education and Theoretical Physical Chemistry at Boston University, and recipient of the 2015 Metcalf Award for Excellence in Teaching. His pursuit of Judaism began while working on his doctorate in Physical Chemistry at New York University. Dr. Abrams lectures extensively on the interplay of science and Judaism.

About Rabbi Benyamin Bresinger
Rabbi Benyamin Bresinger grew in up Montreal, where he completed his university degree at Concordia. After graduation, he continued his life education by traveling extensively, visiting over twenty-five countries world-wide. For his rabbinical education, Rabbi Bresinger studied at Toras Chaim Yeshiva in Jerusalem, Israel, followed by higher education at the Rabbinical College of America Kollel in Morristown, N.J. In 1991, he and his wife were appointed by the Lubavitcher Rebbe to represent Chabad for Metro West, New Jersey. His lectures on Kabbala were well attended as he founded the Beginners Synagogue that would become The Lubavitch Center of Essex County.
Rabbi Bresinger’s passion has always been working with recovering addicts. He became the pastoral counsellor for Jewish addicts in recovery for the Metro West Health and Healing Centre in New Jersey. During this time, he authored a course called, “Twelve Steps and Kabbalah,” which integrates the teachings of Kabbalah with the twelve steps of AA. He has lectured extensively around the country on this topic.
In 2007, Rabbi and Mrs. Bresinger and their five children moved to Montreal to be the directors of Chabad Lifeline, an addiction crisis drop-in centre.

Ukraine has been under attack since the early morning of Feb. 24, and the country’s entire population is in danger, including the 350,000 Jews who call it home. For many Jews around the world, the name Ukraine conjures images of the place their grandparents or ancestors fled in the late 1800s or early 1900s, or as a region where millions of Jews were murdered during the Holocaust. All this is of course true, but what is also true is that Ukraine has been an increasingly hospitable home for hundreds of thousands of Jews whose families lived in its towns and cities for centuries and remained there even after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Here is my short history of the Jews of Ukraine. Just something to think about during this difficult time.
If you would like to donate to Ukraine. Use http://www.jewishndg.com/donateusd write Ukraine in the notes and I will personally make sure it is delivered to the right place.

Gave this special workshop for Unite To Study and Noahide International this evening. I told the entire story of Abraham's childhood, as told in the Midrash. I used the Young Avraham film as a visual for the storytelling. It was really special to use Young Avraham and honour 10 years since it was released. I hope this enlightens your Torah study this week. You can watch it on my facebook page and YouTube channel.

An Academic’s Struggle to Reconcile Jewish Heritage with Scientific Theory. Is man’s origin from an ape or from Adam? How old exactly is our world? These are a few of the issues that appear to pit modern scientific theory against traditional Jewish belief. Join us for an incredible evening with award-winning lecturer and Professor of Chemistry Dr. Binyomin Abrams as he takes us on a personal journey of self-discovery and bridges the gap between the seemingly conflicting worlds of science and Judaism.
About Dr. Binyomin Abrams
Dr. Binyomin Abrams is a senior Professor of Chemical Education and Theoretical Physical Chemistry at Boston University, and recipient of the 2015 Metcalf Award for Excellence in Teaching. His pursuit of Judaism began while working on his doctorate in Physical Chemistry at New York University. Dr. Abrams lectures extensively on the interplay of science and Judaism.

Buy David's New Book Connected Capitalism Here https://www.amazon.com/Connected-Capitalism-Jewish-Wisdom-Transform/dp/1487508425/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1620419819&sr=8-1
About the EventWe are at a very unique point in history, coming out of a global pandemic that turned everything upside down. As our attention turns to rebuilding, what we need are strategies for life in the post-COVID world.
Connected Capitalism is a guide for bringing Jewish wisdom, which holds that the sacred is expressed in our interaction with the everyday, to all facets of our lives. This means favouring action over passivity, knowing that every action we take has the potential to transform. It means choosing actions that change us, our environment, and all those we come in contact with. It means doing the spiritual work that will allow us to find meaning, connection, and wonder.
Join us for this timely conversation, as we explore how Jewish wisdom can help us thrive after the pandemic.

Gave this special workshop for Unite To Study and Noahide International this evening. I told the entire story of Abraham's childhood, as told in the Midrash. I used the Young Avraham film as a visual for the storytelling. It was really special to use Young Avraham and honour 10 years since it was released. I hope this enlightens your Torah study this week. You can watch it on my facebook page and YouTube channel.

About Fishel Goldig
Fishel Goldig was born in 1933 in Mielnica, Poland (today Ukraine). At the beginning of 1942 Fishel and his family were forced to move to the Borszczow ghetto. Most of his family eventually escaped the ghetto and lived in the forest for several months. He and several family members were taken in by a Ukrainian farmer, where they lived in a hole in a potato cellar for 22 months. After liberation, Fishel’s family spent two years in a DP camp in Pocking before immigrating to Canada. They settled in Montreal where Fishel went to yeshiva, studied literature, art and singing, and pursued a career in business. In 2017, Fishel was chosen by Canada to participate in the opening of the official Holocaust Memorial in Ottawa. Fishel is a seasoned cantor and will be sharing by his story and the beloved music of his childhood.

When crisis befalls, our first instinct is to let out a sigh of oy. Paradoxically, according to kabbalah, we would be better off jumping for joy. This session explores the power of joy as a remedy for spiritual blockages, both personal and collective, that impede the flow of heaven’s abundant blessings.

Positivity Bias: Stories to Reframe Our Experience of These Turbulent Times
Our ability to transform anything lies in our ability to reframe it. This four-part miniseries offers practical wisdom for positive living inspired by the life and teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Adapted by the author from the popular book, Positivity Bias provides an ever-so-timely weaving together of inspiring short stories that uplift the spirit and reshape our perspective as we weather these challenging times.
In this lesson we will explore...
Would it make a real difference if we followed the maxim, “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”? Does changing our outlook on others merely effectuate change within ourselves, or could it somehow affect others as well? This session introduces a potentially life-changing teaching about how we can impact those around us for the better.

Wednesday, June 10th at 8PM. | Lecture 8:00-9:30PM followed by Live Questions and Answers.
Infatuation is that intense, almost chemical connection you feel… it’s sudden and usually catches you off guard. You don’t have an appetite, you can’t sleep, you find yourself making foolish choices and unable to act rationally. Infatuation may feel good in the moment, but it's not based on anything real, it's filled with illusion.
Rabbi Bernath will talk about the six levels of Infatuation and how to know if you are infatuated.

Few of us are fully aware of the biases that shape our experience of life, and we seldom pay attention to the default frames through which we see the world. Some seek to remedy these biases by trying to calibrate their perspective with a more objective view. This class explores how we can better serve ourselves and others by adjusting our vantage points to seek out only the positive in ourselves, in others, and in all of life’s experiences.Support the show (http://www.jewishndg.com/donate)

The Jewish people have the knack of keeping their balance despite being confronted by extremes. They have great ideals, but are also realists and pragmatists. They are sensitive to spirituality, with a long list of prophets and visionaries – but also know how to keep their feet on the ground. They are steeped in study of the sacred Torah, but also know how to make a living and create a warm and welcoming home environment.

Are you really happy, or just resigned to your lot?
Happiness is an emotional state we achieve when we find ourselves in an ideal situation. The more ideal the situation and the longer we have dreamed of the opportunity, the happier we are. Conversely, we are saddened when we are denied our dreams, when our state of affairs leaves what to be desired.
Take a moment to envision your fantasy life. I’d imagine it would include many of the following: More money, a nicer home, more self-discipline, regular trips to exotic locations, better health, better healthcare, more money, a more meaningful life, a better relationship with your parents, more money...
I’d love to meet the person who’d honestly say, “My fantasy life? I’m living it! I can’t imagine a thing I’d want to change!”
Considering this all, is true happiness possible?

This Week's Topic: Struggle
It is wrestling with our nature, rather than attaining perfection, that constitutes true righteousness. Everyone is somehow flawed, but righteousness is found in the struggle to do right amid a predilection to act selfishly.
Our culture is showing the cracks of a growing fracture. Soaring divorce rates; a crippled economy that rewards the few and punishes the many; religious-fuelled hatred; record rates of depression—the headlines paint a grim picture. We inhabit a society that desperately needs fixing. But our society can be made whole again when we as individuals make the choice to live a life based on values.
For too long, conversations about values have been derailed by political movements and Hollywood fantasies. “What Are My Values” will present age-old ideas as guideposts for the challenges of modern times. These values, whose roots are in the Bible and thousands of years of Jewish spiritual living, can be applied to anyone in the modern world who want to renew their existence and recommit themselves to the most precious things in life.
“What are My Values” shows everyone how to use the timeless values of the Torah and Judaism to live a more fulfilling, modern life.

Unlike the Greeks, who believed that life was scripted from birth, the Jews believe in destiny. In short, they reject the idea of tragic fates and instead champion the individuals’ capacity to create their own destiny through individual choice.

An Academic’s Struggle to Reconcile Jewish Heritage with Scientific Theory. Is man’s origin from an ape or from Adam? How old exactly is our world? These are a few of the issues that appear to pit modern scientific theory against traditional Jewish belief. Join us for an incredible evening with award-winning lecturer and Professor of Chemistry Dr. Binyomin Abrams as he takes us on a personal journey of self-discovery and bridges the gap between the seemingly conflicting worlds of science and Judaism.
About Dr. Binyomin Abrams

Honesty is essential to an artist’s credibility. Hailing from Chicago, it is the truth in HARDCHARLiE’s music that sets him apart from so many other artists. There is much more here than empty lines about cars, women, and money. There is a connection to be made with every listener; a way of liberating oneself from the constant pummeling of daily existence. HARDCHARLiE personifies hardship, and defines a path to overcoming it with songs that are known to be drenched in sincerity and rumbling with vigor. Each track has been given a dynamic glow with impressive production from Alex Bork (Teen Heat). HARDCHARLiE brings new talent to both the hip hop and acoustic emo genres, composing his tracks with a delicious blend of heart, head, and gut.
Born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, HARDCHARLiE, otherwise known as Charles Goldberg, braved the challenges of teenage life armed with a pen and paper. A classically trained pianist, guitarist, and drummer, Goldberg grew tired of playing other people’s music, and recognized his need to create something raw and accessible for the masses. Throughout his high school career, Goldberg invested efforts into girls rather than academic endeavors, instilling discomfort in his parents’ chests as they worried about his professional development. Yet Goldberg was growing and learning from every failed romance, taking the lessons gained from each and displaying them with stunning guitar riffs and articulate hooks; these accounts became the essence of his first release “to forgive myself…”
The guitar might have become Goldberg’s therapist, supporting him emotionally, but the song-writer, more stable and focused than ever, turned to the drums as his boxing coach. While at the University of Kansas, Goldberg met a Rabbi, Zalman Tiechtel, who placed a yarmulke on his head and tzitzit at his sides. Discovering his heritage in a brand new dimension, Goldberg dove head first into teachings of Chassidic mysticism, and surfaced with hip hop masterworks. On the mic, Goldberg creates percussive bliss through lyrics brimming with five thousand year old tradition mixed with coping strategies against modern day demands. After spending a year working in a Delaware state penitentiary, the artist was granted an insider’s look into what life was really like on the streets, something most privileged, white, Jewish kids from the suburbs never take the time to seek out. “I saw parallels between the inmates’ lives and the lives of the Jewish people, most notably, the struggle to push forward and thrive,” Goldberg relates, “I’d rap with many of the individuals I worked with, and it was always funny to me that despite our differences, we were really saying the same things.”
HARDCHARLiE has far more than just the nerve to inspire and advise; he has the credentials to back him up as well. More than a musician, teacher, and devout Jew, Goldberg holds a Master's degree in clinical mental health counseling and works with teens from Chicago's most dangerous neighborhoods. Such a unique blend of ability is an especially rare find in an over-saturated musical arena. As Chicago awaits his newest release “DiViDED,” Goldberg hopes that he will make an impact on not only the hip-hop game at large, but on each and every one of his listeners, personally. As audiences around the country begin to nod their heads in approval, HARDCHARLiE is sure to be taking a stage near you.
