Pronouncing the Unpronounable

Jewish Beauty vs. Greek Beauty
Dear Friends,
Lots in this week’s talk, from how to avoid becoming an imitation of yourself, to a discussion of Star Wars, to mezuzahs, to the beauty of Joseph, to death bed confessions, to how to pursue true success in life to one’s last breath. In other words, another typical talk!

Hanukah – Light of Heaven
Dear Friends,
The light of the menorah is the light of heaven. The gematria of shemen (oil) is the same as shamayin (heaven). When we light the menorah we illuminate not just the darkness around us, but open ourselves to see past the confines of this world and the miracles that are with us constantly.
PS – Check out the “Holiness of Latkes” talk too – only 18 minutes
Hanukah – Rivers of Light
Dear Friends,
Hanukah is about way more than the miracle of oil. On a much deeper level, it’s about the fact that Hashem has never stopped communicating with us. In this week”s talk, we look at the episode between Yehudah and Tamar, the word for Truth as it appears encoded in the Torah, and how to await the fixing of the world without getting burnt out.
Hanukah – The Fixing of Randomness
