Torah from Braude

The climactic end to the high holy days comes with Sukkot. The question is why HaShem structured it this way? Sukkos seems like a nice easy end to what came before it during the days of teshuvah and awe. So what’s the deeper reason behind this holy day? #sukkos #sukkot #torahfrombraude #torah #jordanpeterson #psychology

Parshas Ha'azinu teaches that Hashem's promise of vengeance is really a message of comfort: we do not need to take justice into our own hands because Hashem sees the full picture and will judge perfectly. Even in contentious cases like the Lindsey Clancy case, where people strongly disagree, human judgment is limited, but Hashem's justice is flawless. Our role is to trust in Him and move forward w...

Our sages tell us that all of creation is one song. #haazinu #torahfrombraude #torah #song #goodvibrations

We’re entering the year תשפ״ז. This (Paz) signifies that it’s a year characterized by fine gold. So if we’re destined for wealth, how do we get it? The world is built on cause and effect which means there must be an action on our party in order to receive the bracha. #gold #torahfrombraude #torah #roshhashanah #wealth #baalshemtov

The Kabbalists tell us that Rosh HaShanah connects to the superman Keter (Crown) of HaShem. Let’s unpack that a little bit so we can understand what it means to truly crown HaShem as our King. #roshhashanah #torahfrombraude #torah #crown #spirituality #kabbalah #sefirot #chakras

The shofar carries with it many mystical secrets. As we hear it on Rosh HaShanah, it’s ideal to have the proper intention in mind. May we merit to see the miracles of the redemption #shofar #torahfrombraude #torah #roshhashanah #secrets

We are commanded to choose life and not death. Not such an easy commandment when we see the death and negativity around us. #torah #torahfrombraude #chooselife #nitzavim #vayelech

The world is going through some very difficult times right now. And yet Chai Elul comes in the midst of it all with a powerful reminder. #chai #elul #nitzavim #vayelech #torahfrombraude #torah

This week Moshe calls the celestial bodies, the sun, moon, and stars, to be witnesses of the Jewish covenant with G-d. The question is, why did he needed witnesses? Why not just trust that the Jews will respect the agreement? There’s a deep mussar lesson here for all of us relevant especially in today’s world. #lockdown #torahfrombraude #torah #celestial

What should be our focus as we near the Yomim Noraim? Our Rabbis are very clear. #torahfrombraude #nitzavim #torah #roshhashana

The Torah’s detail in this final Sefer regarding the bikkurim is not by chance. It’s here to teach a very important lesson as the Jewish people begin their journey into the Land of Israel. #firstfruits #torahfrombraude #torah #trailblazer

Why are the first fruits so important? Maybe theres something to learn from them about our desire for greatness. #kitavo #fruit #messiah #torahfrombraude #torah #israel

Amalek is still around today and you’d be surprised how close. This basic reading through the Torah with Rashi blew my mind with the parallels I saw between the war with Amalek and what happened in October 7. #amalek #october7 #torah #torahfrombraude #israelpalestineconflict

A lesson from the Baal Shem Tov HaKadosh in honour of Chai Elul on parshas Ki Tavo. An incredible insight that may change the way we view those small brachos we make every day #baalshemtov #chai #kitavo #torah #torahfrombraude

Charlie Kirk was a public speaker and strong advocate for Israel. He was a very religious man and there are many important lessons we can glean from his life. #charliekirk #torahfrombraude #kitavo #torah #israel

Ki Teitzei reminds us that Elul is our moment to choose forgiveness and peace. With 74 mitzvot guiding us toward compassion and harmony, the parsha urges us to let go of resentment, heal what’s broken, and push back against the “inner Amalek” that pulls us down. This season is our call to soften, reconnect, and bring redemption closer through simple, powerful acts of peace. #torah #torahfrombraude...

How could the Torah tell us that it’s ok to take a female captive and marry her?? #compromise #kiteitzei #torah #torahfrombraude

The mysterious mitzvah of sending away the mother bird carries with it an immense lesson for all of us. #birds #torah #torahfrombraude #kiteitzei

The Yetzer Hara has its own tactics to get us to sin. But the sages tell us that it’s exactly those tactics that help us defeat it. #kiteitzei #torah #torahfrombraude #war #baalshemtov
