Send us a textThe wealthy billionaire who has everything but lacks a home and wife serves as a powerful metaphor for our spiritual lives in this exploration of the Torah concept "Shchutei Chutz." Drawing from the double Torah portion Acharei Mot-Kedoshim, we unpack a seemingly technical prohibition against offering sacrifices outside the Temple to reveal its profound relevance for modern Jewish life.At its heart, this teaching addresses a spiritual crisis affecting many observant Jews today—the tendency toward religious wandering rather than rootedness. Like the billionaire who can fly anywhere on his private jet but has no fixed address, many of us practice a Judaism of convenience: catching prayer services wherever fits our schedule, consulting different rabbis case-by-case, and moving between communities without deep investment.The wisdom of Shchutei Chutz challenges this approach. Just as God established one central location for Temple service, we benefit from establishing spiritual home bases in our own lives. The Rambam, Midrash Tanchuma, and contemporary teachers like Rabbi Lopiansky all emphasize how crucial this rootedness is for authentic spiritual growth. Rabbi Schneir Kotler's prescient warning from the 1960s about "breakaway minyanim" and self-guided Judaism speaks directly to our current moment.Whether you're deeply observant or reconnecting with tradition, the message resonates: true spiritual depth comes through commitment to place, people, and practice. Ask yourself: Have you found your spiritual home? Do you have a rabbi who knows your situation? Would people notice if you missed services? These markers of connection may be the difference between a religious life that's intellectually stimulating but rootless, versus one that's transformative and grounded.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!Elevate your impact by becoming a TMC Emerald Donor!

For weeks we have been wading through the many ritual laws of the book of Leviticus, known in Hebrew as Vayikra.  In short, Vayikra consists of rules about a specific holy place (Mishkan), with very specific kinds of sacrifices (korbanot), that can only be performed by a specific group of people, the priests (Cohanim), who are the mediators between God and the Israelites.And then this week's double portion, Acharei Mot-Kedoshim, arrives on the scene and everything changes. We get what is affectionately referred to as the “Holiness Code.”Each week, a member of the clergy offers their personal perspective on a topic of their choice, such as the week's Torah portion, a Jewish holiday, ritual, custom, or history.

Ramban on the Torah | 5785 | 25 | Acharei Mot - Kedoshim, by Rav Eli Weber Everyone knows that the Ramban (like all Jews), loves Eretz Yisrael. But why so much. At the end of Acharei Mot the Ramban explains his philosophy. How is sin different in Eretz Israel than outside of it?

This episode brings together the Matan Podcast with the hosts of Intimate Judaism, R. Scott Kahn and Talli Rosenbaum, to discuss the tensions between Jewish sexual ethics and modern sexual trends. What is a Jewish sexual ethic and how much is it related to what appears in the verses of the Torah? What are some of the biggest challenges facing the Orthodox world in the realm of sexuality and what central values would we like to preserve? These are some of the heavy questions we try to tackle with candor in this conversation. Our Vayikra series focuses on the lived experience of Torah observance and explores some of the harder issues within observant communities in accordance with the mitzvot taught in each weekly parsha. This week's episode has been sponsored by Jori Epstein in honor of Ilana Wernick's and Amanda Herman's marriages. Talli Rosenbaum has decades of experience in the field of sexual health, and is a certified sex therapist and an individual and couple therapist. She is an internationally regarded expert in this field and has published and lectured extensively. She is the co-author of I am for My Beloved: A Guide to Enhanced Intimacy for Married Couples Rabbi Scott Kahn, formerly the Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Yesodei HaTorah, hosts multiple podcasts including the Orthodox Conundrum as well as Intimate Judaism with Talli and has a passion for addressing issues facing the Orthodox world. You can read Scott's writing on his substack, Orthodox Conundrum Commentary.

The High Priest atones for all those who enter the Temple in a state of impurity. But what about the people who violated the sanctity of the Temple on purpose? Why should the offering atone for them as well?

A Jew is not allowed to dress like a non-Jew. But what is Jewish attire? In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed “Bohemian Rhapsody”. His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band “Foreigner” (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, “Feels Like The First Time”, “Cold as Ice” and “Long, Long Way from Home”. Other production work included “The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars”, “The Curves”, and “Nutz” as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly.

Leviticus is full rules. The one I focus on here is The Golden Rule, perhaps the hardest thing. But being kind to others, even strangers, is more important and has more of an impact than we ever imagine.

In this episode with Dr. Julie Goldstein, we discuss different interpretations of the general injunction to be 'kadosh' and the import each explanation has for one's service of God. This episode was dedicated in memory of Yehuda ben Shlomo. Our series on Vayikra is titled ‘Kedusha is in the Details' and explores the way these laws try to elevate each of our most basic human functions: food intake, bodily functions, relationships, spaces of worship, and our use of time.
