Stronger than Angels
Why We Can Thrive Where Even Giants Failed
The spies feared that materialism would overwhelm the Jewish people, just as it had corrupted the fallen angels. But Caleb saw things differently. This class explores why our souls are stronger than angels—and how we can embrace the physical world without losing our spiritual identity.
Love Every Jew, No Exceptions
Why Even the Wicked Deserve Our Love
Is there ever an exception to the mitzvah of loving your fellow Jew? This class explores Moses’s remarkable love for Dathan and Abiram—his lifelong adversaries—and what it teaches about seeing beyond faults to the hidden goodness in every Jew.
The Power of Letting Go
Forgiveness, Healing, and the Path to True Unity
Does forgiveness mean withholding punishment, or does it require something deeper? This class explores Moses’s response to the people’s rebellion, revealing that true forgiveness restores unity and helps others heal—just as G-d does for us.
The Strength to Surrender
Why Letting Go Is the Ultimate Power
Strength is often seen as control, but Judaism defines it as surrendering to something greater. Balaam’s prophecy likens the Jewish people to unshakable mountains, rooted in ancestral strength. This class explores why true power lies in self-sacrifice and choosing holiness over convenience.
