Why does Yom Kippur ask us to fear Hashem and confess our mistakes again and again? Fear usually makes us want to keep our distance from someone. How could it possibly bring us closer to Hashem, and why would saying vidui over and over make Yom Kippur a day of joy?Starting with a hilarious exchange between an Israeli army commander and an older recruit, we’ll explore a puzzling verse at Har Sinai: Moshe tells the Jewish people, “Don’t be afraid,” and then says Hashem came so they would fear Him. The answer offers a surprising way to understand yiras Shamayim, our relationship with Hashem, and the gift of Yom Kippur. If you’ve ever dreaded this day, this shiur may leave you longing for it instead.

What can three incredible women in Tanach teach us about transforming our tefillah? In this shiur, we explore the three essential dimensions of davening: שבח, בקשה, והודיה — and how they can completely change the way we approach Hashem. As we prepare for Rosh Hashanah, the goal is not just to say “ותשובה ותפילה וצדקה,” but to back those words up with real action. You’ll also walk away with practical tips to make your daily davening more meaningful and powerful.
In ונתנה תוקף, we declare that teshuvah, tefillah, and tzedakah can transform the decree, but this year, we want to back those words up with action.

This summer, many of us slip in our שמירת המצוות while traveling or relaxing. In this shiur, we uncover a powerful idea from Parshas Ekev about the wooden Aron that held the Luchos after the חטא העגל, and why Hashem chose wood to teach us that even after a spiritual fall, we can always grow again. Through the story of the broken Luchos, real-life examples of forgiveness and self-forgiveness, and the deeper meaning of the word “Ekev,” you’ll see that no matter how far you’ve fallen, the Torah is still an עץ חיים for you. If you’ve ever felt stuck after a mistake, this message is for you.
