Asking questions, taking journeys.
Exploring the most fundamental questions in everyday life.
Discovering God, ourselves, and the destiny of the universe.
When do you feel most like yourself? And why do those moments often bring a sense of joy, freedom and meaning?
In this shiur, we explore the Maharal’s fascinating connection between simchah (joy) and the ability to express what lies within us. Through a puzzling story in the Gemara about Rabbi Pinchas ben Yair and a river that refuses to let him pass, we uncover a deeper Jewish understanding of the human soul.
Discover the three dimensions of our inner lives — nefesh, ruach and neshamah — corresponding to action, emotion and intellect. How do they shape our personalities, our spiritual lives and our experience of happiness?
An exploration of Jewish wisdom, self-understanding and what it means to live with greater joy and purpose.
Part of an ongoing series exploring the deeper ideas behind Torah, spirituality and the human experience.

How to Start Again After You Fall
What happens when we fail, fall short, or do something we deeply regret?
Jewish tradition doesn't pretend that great people never fall. In fact, Tanakh and Chazal repeatedly show us heroes who make mistakes, struggle, and fall — but then somehow manage to get back up.
In this shiur, we explore a deeper Torah approach to failure and resilience, drawing on Nefesh HaChaim, the Zohar, Rebbe Nachman, Chazal and Tanakh.
We explore the remarkable idea that God is renewing the world every moment, and what that means for our ability to leave the past behind and genuinely begin again. We look at the deeper meaning of Yaakov's ladder, the spiritual identity that lies beyond our mistakes, and the Zohar's powerful teaching about what happens when a person takes even the first step back towards God.
A shiur about failure, shame, resilience, teshuva — and the possibility of beginning again.
Because falling isn't the end. What matters is what happens next.
