Weekly Parsha insights according to Chassidus, with Torah inspiration and a practical takeaway in just two minutes. Short, clear Divrei Torah that are easy to understand and perfect to share with family and friends at your Shabbos table.
Why can’t you fulfill the mitzvah with a borrowed lulav, while a borrowed sukkah is perfectly acceptable? The halachic difference reveals something much deeper about the meaning of Sukkos and the unique unity created by the sukkah.
The four species also represent unity, but each retains its individual identity. Sukkah takes us deeper: it surrounds us, strips away our differences, and reveals the core that all Jews share. After Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, Sukkos gives us eight days to realign ourselves with who we really are — one Am Yisrael.

Ha’azinu האזינו 2026 - Finding Hashem When Close
During the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah, Hashem is uniquely accessible to every Jew. The pasuk says, “Dirshu Hashem b’himatzeh, kera’uhu bihyoso karov” — seek Hashem when He can be found; call out to Him when He is close. These are not repetitive phrases, but two dimensions of our relationship with Hashem. Even when we feel unprepared or undeserving, Hashem is b’himatzeh — available to us like something already found. Like a father who never abandons his child, Hashem remains close regardless of where we may be holding.
But Hashem wants us to go further: “Kera’uhu bihyoso karov” — call out to Him and experience that closeness. This parallels the heaven and earth of Parshas Ha’azinu: Torah represents a connection to Hashem that we can understand and feel, while mitzvos connect us through action and submission to His will, even when we don’t feel the same inspiration. During these special days, Hashem is both found and close — giving each of us an extraordinary opportunity to seek Him, call out to Him, and deepen our connection.

Rosh Hashanah ראש השנה 2026: The Power of Tefillah
What makes tefillah different from a bracha? A bracha draws down something that already exists Above, like water that is already in a pool and simply needs to be brought somewhere else. Tefillah can accomplish something far greater — “Yehi ratzon,” creating a new Divine will and changing a reality that seemed impossible. This is why Chana’s prayer teaches us the true meaning and power of tefillah.
Chana was barren, yet she prayed not only for a child, but for a child who would be a tzaddik — even though “Hakol bidei Shamayim chutz miyiras Shamayim.” Her tefillah broke through the barriers of nature and even the normal limitations of Torah. On Rosh Hashanah, when we ask Hashem to renew His Kingship and the world for another year, Chana teaches us how: through kavana, deep devotion, and bitul — opening ourselves completely to Hashem and bringing forth a new ratzon from Above.
