The Miracle of Purim: A Model for Serving God Through Adversity

The Miracle of Purim: A Model for Serving God Through Adversity

BS”D One of the biggest miracles of Purim, according to Rebbe Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev(z”l), was קִיְּמ֣וּ וְקִבְּלֻ֣, that the Jewish people willingly re-dedicated themselves to the Torah and accepted it anew.1 But why was this such a miracle among all the other miraculous events that took place? The answer gives us a profound insight…

What are Segulos, and How Do They Work?

What are Segulos, and How Do They Work?

BS”D What are segulos? Are they something to be ignored– silly superstitions and old wives tales at best, or dangerous distractions from our connection to Hashem and Torah at worst?

Emuna and Bitachon and the Light of Chanukah

Chanukah may fall out at the darkest time of the year. But, the very darkness gives the intense spiritual light Chanukah brings to the world the ability shine its brightest. This light is known as ohr haganuz, the hidden light of creation: וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֖ים יְהִי־א֑וֹר וַֽיְהִי־אֽוֹר And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there…

Rosh HaShana: Returning to Our Source

Rosh HaShana: Returning to Our Source

BS”D The ten days between Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur, is a time that is set aside for teshuva— a time when we are told to “seek Hashem when He can be found.”1 Many have asked: why do these days not come before Rosh HaShana when we stand in judgment before God? Wouldn’t it make sense to…
