Torah Thoughts

B"H The power of Mincha. In the middle of the noise, the deadlines, the errands, the rush, we pause. Mincha reminds us that even in the busiest moments, we can breathe, reconnect, and realign with Hashem. A small prayer in the middle of a long day… but it brings balance, peace, and a sense of purpose that carries us forward. A moment of stillness. A moment of grounding. A moment of connection.

B"H I've been thinking a lot about the deeper spiritual meaning of Thanksgiving and how it ties back to the name Yehuda (Judah), which comes from the word hoda'ah, gratitude. In Judaism, thankfulness isn't just a nice idea. It's a core spiritual practice. A way of grounding ourselves. A way of recognizing that even when life feels heavy or complicated, there are still blessings worth noticing. Gratitude isn't about ignoring the hard parts, it's about seeing God's kindness through them. And that, to me, is the heart of this season.

Whether it's introducing friends, suggesting a shidduch, or just opening a door for someone — we all have the power to create meaningful connections. It's sacred. It's beautiful. And it's one of my favorite things to be part of. To watch Torah Thoughts in video format, click HERE Subscribe to the Torah Thoughts BLOG for exclusive written content!

Your soulmate can come through any path… you just have to be willing to walk it.

B"H I've been thinking a lot about the spiritual side of sleep in Judaism, how it's so much more than just recharging our bodies. When I go to sleep, it's actually an act of surrender, of handing myself over to Hashem with complete trust.

It's a moment of total vulnerability, total faith, and a reminder that even in our deepest rest, we're held by something bigger than us.
