HOLIDAYS PODCASTS
The Holy Aish Kodesh, the Rebbe of the Warsaw Ghetto, teaches that since Rosh Hashana is the day we ate from the Tree of Knowledge, it’s also the day that we have to fix it. Everything boils down to this question: Is my body an extension of my soul? Or… is my body something different, something that covers my soul? The way we answer this question reverberates in all the worlds. Join me on an incredible journey in Torah learning and self-discovery. Happy New Year!!!
Your Friend, David
We all stand on the precipice of a new world, one that Hashem is looking to create with us. In this week’s talk, we discuss ways to bring about a wonderful new year loaded with revealed blessings for the good!
Imagine I’m a great baseball player and I go up to someone who is playing football, and I laugh at him and say, “You have no idea how to play baseball! I’m so much better than you!” Who is the fool? I am! Here he is playing football — and all I can think is that he is playing baseball incorrectly! Each of us has a completely different mission in this world. Yours is different from mine, and mine is different from yours. The problems start when we look at each other and think we are playing the same game. This is where all the judgements, jealousies and disconnects begin. There is a competition going on — but it is between you and your own potential. Be supportive of everyone around you. Their victory is your victory. Their joy is your joy. Their blessings are coming straight from Hashem. All of ours are. When we make room for each other, we complete ourselves.
Imagine wearing a raincoat in the shower. You wonder why you’re not getting wet — and you’re not even aware that you’re wearing a raincoat. There are certain blockages that are standing in our way with our relationship with God, and our lives in this world. In this week’s talk, we explore how to battle against the negative forces that try to undermine us in our quest for happiness and success.
If matzah is so great, why don’t we eat it all year? And if bread is so bad why do we eat it at all? In this week’s talk we talk about the creation of human beings and how imagination is the key to our realization — and how delusion is just one step away.
Now we are free. But free to do what? In this week’s talk, we discuss the Love / Freedom connection. How true freedom requires a plan, and the realization of that plan needs the exalted dimension of Oneness. If that doesn’t make complete sense yet — it will if you take a listen.

From Zombies in Modern Movies to What to think about while eating Matzah, this week’s talk has lots of ideas to think about! Especially, a deep discussion about what Freedom is and isn’t and how we can get the most out of freedom’s end goal: being in a loving relationship with One who loves us the most.
You are never alone. Even in the darkest of times. In this week’s talk, we look at how G-d finds ways to reach out to us even when we feel like He’s not there.
Latkes are holy? Come on! You can’t be serious! What about Jelly Donuts on Hanukah? Also, holy! Really?? Yes!! In this short talk (18 minutes) you will hear the connection between the manna that fell from heaven and the tradition of eating fried food on Chanukah.
Happy Chanukah!!

And how I can I love if I’m not even sure I like! Give a listen and all will be clear!
