Sukkos 2026 סכות When Mine Becomes Yours (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why can’t you fulfill the mitzvah with a borrowed lulav, while a borrowed sukkah is perfectly acceptable? The halachic difference reveals something much deeper about the meaning of Sukkos and the unique unity created by the sukkah. The four species also represent unity, but each retains its individual identity. Sukkah takes us deeper: it surrounds us, strips away our differences, and reveals the core that all Jews share. After Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, Sukkos gives us eight days to realign o
Ha’azinu האזינו 2026 - Finding Hashem When Close (opens the original)
Read excerpt
During the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah , Hashem is uniquely accessible to every Jew. The pasuk says, “Dirshu Hashem b’himatzeh, kera’uhu bihyoso karov” — seek Hashem when He can be found; call out to Him when He is close. These are not repetitive phrases, but two dimensions of our relationship with Hashem. Even when we feel unprepared or undeserving, Hashem is b’himatzeh — available to us like something already found. Like a father who never abandons his child, Hashem remains close regardless of where
Rosh Hashanah ראש השנה 2026: The Power of Tefillah (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What makes tefillah different from a bracha ? A bracha draws down something that already exists Above, like water that is already in a pool and simply needs to be brought somewhere else. Tefillah can accomplish something far greater — “Yehi ratzon,” creating a new Divine will and changing a reality that seemed impossible. This is why Chana’s prayer teaches us the true meaning and power of tefillah. Chana was barren, yet she prayed not only for a child, but for a child who would be a tzaddik — ev
Vayelech וילך 2026 Relive the Giving Today (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Torah concludes with Hakhel and the mitzvah of writing a Sefer Torah because as the Jewish people prepared to leave the Midbar and continue without Moshe Rabbeinu, Hashem gave them the secret to keeping Yiddishkeit fresh and alive: constantly relive Matan Torah. Hakhel recreates the collective experience of standing together as one nation, while writing a Sefer Torah represents our personal experience of receiving the Torah directly from Hashem. That message is just as powerful today. We can
Ko Tavo כי תבוא 2026 When Kindness Needs Direction (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Being kind and compassionate is not enough. The fascinating mitzvah of “V’halachta bidrachav” — walk in His ways teaches us that even our emotions need a higher foundation. We should be kind because Hashem is kind, compassionate because Hashem is compassionate, and caring because Hashem is caring. Human emotions, even with the best intentions, can sometimes become unbalanced and lead us in the wrong direction. Hashem’s ways provide the healthy anchor that keeps our kindness true, balanced, and g
