Vayikra: Integration After Redemption 19.03.2026 36:47
Vayikra opens with a call—but not to become something new. To recognize that you were never far. In the energy of Nissan, where redemption comes before readiness, we explore what karbanot really mean: not sacrifice, but integration. The work is not to fix yourself or get closer, but to bring every part of you into a closeness that already exists.
Vayakhel: Sacred Rest 12.03.2026 45:03
After the rupture of the golden calf, Moshe gathers the people once again — this time for repair. Before the Mishkan can be built, the Torah introduces Shabbos and the deeper meaning of menucha. This class explores the power of gathering, the difference between connection driven by fear and connection guided by consciousness, and why true creation begins with surrender and rest. Shabbos becomes th...
Ki Tisa: Presence Over Panic 05.03.2026 41:22
Forty days after standing at Sinai, the Jewish people panic and build the Golden Calf. How could we fall so quickly after experiencing revelation and oneness with God? In this episode we explore the deeper story behind the rupture — the human longing for tangible connection, the danger of acting from fear instead of trust, and the powerful contrast between the chaotic gathering around the calf and...
Tetzaveh: Light Without a Name 26.02.2026 41:18
In Parshat Tetzaveh, Moshe’s name disappears — the only time from his birth until the end of the Torah that he is not mentioned. And yet, he is fully present. What does it mean to be addressed without a name? What is essence beyond identity? This week we explore Moshe’s leadership, the daily lighting of the menorah, and the power of consistency. The oil represents potential — but potential must be...
Terumah: Vessel of Joy 19.02.2026 30:54
Adar teaches that even in concealment, G-d was there all along. Terumah teaches us to build a space to live with that awareness. In this class, we explore joy not as emotion, but as expansion — the force that breaks doubt, integrates inspiration, and transforms awakening into embodied practice. The Mishkan becomes a blueprint for building an inner sanctuary that can hold both pain and light — and...
Mishpatim: Divine Boundaries 12.02.2026 42:09
After Sinai’s revelation comes Mishpatim — the laws. But beneath the rules lies a deeper truth: our limited human view is not a flaw, it’s the condition for relationship. This episode explores mitzvot as channels of connection, alignment beyond logic, and the quiet trust that allows us to walk with God even when we don’t understand.
Yitro: Embodied Knowing 05.02.2026 40:21
Why is the parsha of receiving the Torah named for Yitro? This class explores ata yadati — embodied knowing. Not belief, but the realization that nothing in our lives was ever outside of God. Not the detours. Not the pain. Not the confusion. Through Yitro and Avraham, we uncover what allows Torah to be received: releasing victimhood, taking responsibility for meaning, and opening ourselves to rece...
Beshalach: After Freedom 29.01.2026 44:04
Freedom doesn’t end the journey. In Parshat Beshalach, redemption is followed by fear, uncertainty, and the pull to return to what’s familiar. This class explores the space after freedom — when instinctive responses take over and the path forward feels impossible. The Torah’s answer is simple but demanding: keep moving. Clarity and safety don’t come first. They are revealed only after action. Thro...
Bo: Beyond Understanding 22.01.2026 38:29
Parshat Bo marks the turning point of redemption — not when suffering ends, but when inner orientation shifts. As the final plagues unfold and Rosh Chodesh Shevat arrives, the Torah reveals a deeper truth: freedom begins before circumstances change. Through Moshe’s confrontation with Pharaoh, we uncover the inner battle between logic and soul-knowing, control and trust. This class explores why red...
Vaera: Letting Go 15.01.2026 34:56
In Parshat Vaeira, God reveals a deeper way of relating to Him — not as a distant force, but as a presence woven into every detail of life, even within suffering. This class explores why Moshe is allowed to question, what leadership looks like in times of pain, and how true return unfolds not through control, but through surrender. We trace the movement from effort to trust, from resistance to ali...
Shemos: The Vessel for Freedom 08.01.2026 44:14
Sefer Shemos is not just the story of leaving Egypt. It is the full architecture of freedom. The Torah measures redemption not by the end of suffering, but by the ability to receive. True freedom is reached when a vessel is built — when the Mishkan exists — teaching us that geulah is not escape, but alignment. This class explores freedom as an inner state, teshuva as a return to name and purpose,...
Vayechi: Trusting the Unknown 01.01.2026 40:00
Vayechi explores the quiet, dangerous moment before exile fully sets in—when life still feels comfortable, but something essential is beginning to slip. Through Yaakov’s final years in Egypt, his encounter with Ephraim and Menashe, and his withheld revelation of the end of days, this class examines our human urge to control outcomes, perfect the future, and judge what doesn’t match our expectation...
Vayigash: Embodied Truth 25.12.2025 38:54
This class explores the moment when Yehuda stands before Yosef with no good options and no guarantees. Through their encounter, we look at what it means to stand in strength without knowing the outcome, and how Yosef’s embodied truth makes explanation unnecessary. The teaching then moves into Yaakov’s descent into Egypt, reframing pressure and uncertainty not as failure, but as part of becoming.
Miketz: Divine Timing 18.12.2025 47:28
This class explores the deeper meaning of miketz -“at the end” - not as a delay, but as the exact completion of a process. Through Yosef’s years in prison, Pharaoh’s dreams, and the hidden miracles of Chanukah, we uncover a Torah view of time as revelation rather than obstacle. This teaching looks at why waiting is not passive, how desire becomes painful when we try to control timing, and what it...
Vayeshev: The Courage to Dream 11.12.2025 38:16
Yaakov wants to settle, but the Torah turns to Yosef, the dreamer whose vision threatens the family legacy. This class explores what real Torah/ spiritual dreaming is: not fantasy, but an inner expansion that includes struggle and still calls it growth. We look at Yosef, his brothers’ fear, and the parts within us that resist our own becoming. A teaching on shifting from survival-dreams to soul-dr...
Vayishlach: Turning Darkness into Light 04.12.2025 44:17
Yaakov’s encounter with Esav isn’t just two brothers fighting. It’s a guide for how to face fear, conflict, and old wounds without becoming hardened or reactive. In this class, we explore the Chassidic path of extracting light from darkness, setting boundaries without closing the heart, and learning what real peace looks like when the other person doesn’t change, but you do.
Vayetze: The Time to Stay 27.11.2025 47:19
Yaakov Avinu is leaving home. But he doesn’t leave corruption to find holiness, like Avraham, he leaves holiness to survive corruption without losing himself. Sometimes leaving is the bravest choice. And sometimes staying is the holiest one. This class explores the difference between Avraham’s “go” and Yaakov’s “stay,” and how to discern when your soul is calling you to walk away, and when staying...
Toldot: Tension as Creation 20.11.2025 37:33
Toldot teaches that creation happens through tension: Yitzchak and Rivka’s prayer, the dance of demand and surrender, and the choice between freedom or victimhood in Yaakov and Esav. This week’s class explores how polarity, resistance, and inner friction become the very force that shapes who we become.
Chayei Sara: The Queen Mother 13.11.2025 39:25
In parshat Chayei Sara, we learn what it means to embody the divine feminine, like our matriarch Sara Imeinu. We explore the commonalities between Sara and Queen Esther- both queens in their own way, paving the path for us to follow. And what it is that is our special gift that we inherited as Jewish woman through the matriarchy.
Vayera: Facing Forward 06.11.2025 41:53
Avraham jumps into embodied action by living in his purpose even through his pain. Lot’s wife looks back and gets destroyed along with her past, in a world that once was. Both had moments of transformation. Avraham expanded with his pain, and the lot’s wife contracted with her pain. They both had clarity. They both had free choice. One acted on it, the other chose not to. Inspiration demands embo...
Lech Lecha: The Journey of Becoming 30.10.2025 40:33
Avram’s story is the journey of following the soul’s call to leave safety and walk toward truth. In this class, we explore Avram as the archetype of becoming: what he left behind, how he trusted, and what it means to live in movement with God. Through Torah and Chassidut, we uncover the inner meaning of “Lech Lecha- go to yourself,” and how every woman’s path of uncertainty, surrender, and becomin...
Noach: Rest as Rebirth 23.10.2025 34:39
This week we explore the energy of Cheshvan through Noach, the quiet after the storm. After the intensity of Tishrei, Chassidut teaches that true renewal comes through menuchah, a calm, regulated nervous system aligned with divine connection. Rest isn’t emptiness, it’s the very intentional vehicle to integrate enlightenment.
Bereishit: The Creator Within 16.10.2025 37:54
This week, we return to Bereishit , the beginning. Not as a story of the past, but as a mirror of our own inner creation happening inside of us in every moment that we are alive. We explore the first light, not physical light, but Divine consciousness within us and what it means to create from awareness rather than reaction. Every soul began as part of one great collective light. Our work now is t...
Vayelech: Returning to Enlightenment 25.09.2025 30:22
In this week between Rosh Hashana and Yom kippur, we are in a time and space that contains the highest level of spirituality. We use this time, on Shabbat Shuva to return to our highest selves, return to the beliefs that are true of God and of the Godly parts of ourselves. Practically, we explore the teaching from Moshe, as he walks the last day of his life on continued enlightenment. How to carry...
Nitzavim: Standing in Free Choice 18.09.2025 30:55
In Parshat Nitzavim, Moshe shares his wisdom on how to enter Rosh Hashana: standing tall, head held high, rooted in confidence, embodying our essence. We explore spiritual confidence, the gift of free choice, and the courage to choose life. We choose to show up to the new year as free souls, aligned and ready.
