Psalm 100 is a stirring call to Thanksgiving and Praise! 1. The Universal and Joyful Call to Worship The psalm begins with a universal call to "Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth." This is not just for one nation, but for everyone. We are to "Serve the Lord with gladness" and "Come into his presence with singing." The service and worship we offer should be characterized by joy and cheerfulness, not a begrudging sense of duty. 2. The Reasons We Worship God The teaching outlines three powerful reasons for this worship, all based on knowing that "the Lord, He is God": By Nature: We worship Him simply because He is God (Yahweh). By Creation: "It is He who made us and we are His." He is our maker and sustainer. By Redemption: "We are His people and the sheep of His pasture." He has made us His own by calling us to Himself. 3. The Central Role of Thanksgiving We are commanded to "Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise." Thanksgiving is crucial because it gives us the right perspective: It Humbles Us: It reminds us that we have nothing in and of ourselves; every gift, every breath, and every achievement comes from God. It Encourages Us: It assures us that we have all these things because God loves us as His dearly loved people. 4. The Unfailing Goodness of God The ultimate foundation for all this worship is the truth stated in the final verse: "For the Lord is good. His steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations." The sermon emphasizes that God is good in an undiminished, unfailing way, and His steadfast love (Chesed—covenant faithfulness and loyal love) and faithfulness are constant.

In this transformative episode, part two of our seven-part Merkavah series, Rabbi Meisel explores Yitzchak as the embodiment of Gevurah, the divine quality of discipline, restraint, and the power to transform potential into reality. Building on the foundation of Avraham's Chesed, we uncover how Yitzchak's very existence, and especially the Akeidah, reveals a spiritual blueprint for personal growth, resilience, and the miracle of becoming. Through deep Torah insights, metaphors of birth and laughter, and the cosmic resonance of the shofar, this conversation draws a powerful connection between Gevurah and the hidden strength in navigating life's challenges.Join the Conversation!

The Nine Days before Tisha B'Av are a time when we remember what we've lost—the Beis Hamikdash, of course, and so much more.In this very special episode, I sit down with four amazing siblings from Ramot, Yerushalayim—Moshe (15), Nachi (13), Aaron (12), and Leah (9)—who share their story about their little brother Shmuly a”h, who passed away when he was only two years old.They talk about how they remember him, how their family keeps his memory alive, and how his short life still makes a big difference in their home. From a special memory box with Shmuly's toys, to birthday cards they write him every year, these kids show us what real love, pain, and nechama look like.We also speak about how missing Shmuly helped them understand what it means to miss the Beis Hamikdash—and how their pain helped them feel more for other people in Klal Yisrael who are also going through hard times.When Nachi says, “When Mashiach comes, Shmuly will come too,” it's a reminder that our personal tefillos and dreams are all part of the bigger picture of geulah.This episode is emotional, inspiring, and so real. It will help you think about the Nine Days in a whole new way—with heart, with hope, and with love for all of Am Yisrael.
In this episode we explore the life of Avraham Avinu as the embodiment of Chesed (loving-kindness) and the first to crown Hashem as King. Joined by Rabbi Meisel, we discuss how Avraham's spiritual journey, marked by courage, isolation, and unwavering faith, serves as a model for those navigating their own path back to truth, often feeling alone or disconnected from their past communities. Through his story, we gain insight into the deeper meaning of divine kingship, personal transformation, and the sacred role each individual plays in bringing holiness into the world. This episode is an invitation to recognize the Avraham within, and to embrace the unique purpose Hashem has placed in each of us.Join the Conversation!
