Instant Insight with Rabbi Y. Feigenbaum

Religion EN ↓ 363 episodes

“We are raising a generation of young people who are very observant but not very religious.” (HaRav A. Feldman shlit”a) For many of us, young and old, the disconnect is palpable. We have access to vast amounts of Torah knowledge, and the technicalities of Mitzvah observance are easier than ever before. Yet there is a haunting sense of 'been there, done that' and somehow we lack vision, and a sense of mission. These podcasts are designed to add a depth of understanding, a healthy does of reality, and practical inspiration into our daily lives. PUT LIFE IN YOUR TORAH!
