When Prayer Doesn’t Go Your Way | Vaeschanan 1st Aliyah and Daily Learning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In today’s Live With the Times, we begin Parshat Vaeschanan with the 1st aliyah and Moshe Rabbeinu’s plea to enter Eretz Yisrael. Vaeschanan comes from the language of asking Hashem for a free gift. Even tzaddikim, who have many merits, do not come to Hashem demanding payment for their deeds. They come with humility, asking Hashem for mercy, compassion, and an undeserved gift. But Moshe Rabbeinu is told no. Today’s theme is that our connection to Hashem is tested not only when Hashem says yes, b
Why Are We Still Mourning the Beit HaMikdash? | Devarim 1st Aliyah and Daily Learning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In today’s Live With the Times, we begin Parshat Devarim, the parsha always read before Tisha B’Av.Tisha B’Av is not only about mourning something that happened thousands of years ago. If we are still mourning the Beit HaMikdash today, it means the destruction is not only in the past. It means there is still something in us, right now, that needs to be corrected.Today’s theme is that we cannot build while we are still destroying. When we judge another Yid, speak against another Yid, look down on
Connection Requires Separation | Matot-Masei 3rd Aliyah and Daily Learning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In today’s Live With the Times, we continue with the 3rd aliyah of Parshat Matot-Masei and the request of the tribes of Reuven and Gad to remain on the eastern side of the Yarden.Their request seems practical: they had livestock, and the land was good for livestock. But Moshe was concerned that they were being pulled into something deeper — the mixed middle ground of nogah, where good and bad are blended together, and where a person can easily fool himself.Today’s theme is that our job in this w
How Anger Steals Your Wisdom | Matot-Masei 2nd Aliyah and Daily Learning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In today’s Live With the Times, we continue with the 2nd aliyah of Parshat Matot-Masei and the aftermath of the war with Midian.Moshe Rabbeinu becomes angry with the officers of the army, and Rebbe Nachman connects this to the teaching of Chazal: when a person becomes angry, his wisdom departs. Anger does not just make a person emotional. It makes him narrow-minded. He loses the ability to see the full picture and becomes trapped in the immediate trigger right in front of him.The avodah is not o
The Inheritance Your Kids Really Need | Pinchas 3rd Aliyah and Daily Learning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In today’s Live With the Times, we continue with the 3rd aliyah of Parshat Pinchas and the story of the daughters of Tzelaphchad. Their request for a portion in Eretz Yisrael was not just about land. It was about inheritance, legacy, courage, and making sure the next generation receives what it needs. They did not stand by passively and accept what was missing. They stepped forward, asked, and helped bring a new Torah law into the world. Rebbe Nachman teaches that children provide the rectificat
