Similarly, they must not chas v'shalom relinquish any territory that affects the security of the Jewish people, even if it is not part of Eretz Yisroel itself. When Jews stop being afraid of goyim and goyishkeit, and conduct themselves according to Hashem's will, then they are given control over all of reality.2 excerpts from sichah of Sunday, parashas Vayechi, 10 Teves 5743 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=28-12-2025 לע”נ ר' יצחק ב"ר שמעלקא ע"ה רוס ליום היארצייט שלו ח' טבת. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.נדבת בנו ר' יעקב לייב שמעלקא שי' רוס

Hi everyone, welcome back to The Chai on Life Podcast! I'm so happy to be back after a postpartum hiatus. Baruch Hashem I am so grateful for the little miracle baby that I now have in my life and so grateful to have had the quality time with him and now so grateful to be able to focus back on the podcast a bit more. Gd willing, I will be doing a full episode on the birth story and some reflections from that, so if that's interesting to you stay tuned. But now, I've been busy working on some interviews with really incredible people and I am so excited to share them.Today's episode is with Shoshana Judelman. I got connected to Shoshana through Midreshet Rachel — she is a teacher there now and has always been passionate about teaching Torah and Jewish History. She holds a Bachelor's in History and a Master's in Jewish History. She made aliyah with her husband and six children to Efrat in 2013. In addition to teaching at MRC, Shoshana teaches Chassidus for the Shirat David Community in Efrat as well as for BeOr Panecha in Elazar. She is a guide in Poland with JRoots and co-leads inspirational trips to Ukraine and around Eretz Yisroel. Shoshana has also been a guide at Yad Vashem since 2014.In this episode, she is sharing so much about her connection to the world of Chassidus, what we can learn from it and how we can connect to Chanukah more deeply through its teachings. She speaks about:-How she got into Chassidus and became a baal teshuva-What the difference is between Chassidus and other perspectives on Torah-How we can interpret the world through the lens of our human soul and Gdly soul which was a really interesting and helpful teaching-What it really means that just a little bit of light can dispel a lot of darkness (with a really great mashal included in that)-How to cope when it feels like the darkness is getting darker, whether in your own personal world or in the world at large-How you can personally connect through the lighting of the Chanukah candles and practically a great tip if you have a busy household and it's hard to focus when your family is lighting together-Her own personal struggle at the moment and how she's dealing with it and becoming closer with Hashem in the process. This was so beautiful I was really getting emotional …and so so much more!To daven for Shoshana, her full name is Shoshana Yonah bat AidelLearn more from Shoshana here.

The lesson is that one must be involved in spreading the wellsprings of Chassidus outward, as the Mitteler Rebbe demanded, at all times – whether in a state of “Vayeitzei” (when one is about to enter “Charan,” the “anger of the world,” and he might think that he must first take care of himself before dealing with others), or in a state of “Vayishlach” (when one has just completed “twenty years in the house of Lavan” and he might think now is the time to return to the shul and beis midrash to rest and enjoy the “reward of the mitzvah”).2 excerpts from sichah of Motzaei Shabbos Parashas Vayetzei, 9 Kislev 5739 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=28-11-2025

התוכן 1) בהתוועדות חסידית שנערכה באה"ק התבטא א' המסובים אודות פלוני בן פלוני, שכעת, בהיותו ב"עולם האמת" ורואה את מעלת לימוד החסידות, מקנא הוא בהתלמיד הכי קטן של תומכי תמימים. ובאמת – זוהי גמ' מפורשת: "עתיד הקב"ה לעשות שבע חופות לכל צדיק וצדיק .. כל אחד ואחד נכוה מחופתו של חבירו", דכיון שבעוה"ז לא למד ענינים אלו ה"ז "חופת חבירו" ואינו יכול להכנס לשם, ואעפ"כ מכיון שעכשיו רואה את יוקר הדבר, ה"ה נדחק להכנס ו"נכוה". 2) עפ"י הביאורים בדא"ח בנוגע למש"נ "יביאו לבוש מלכות אשר לבש בו המלך, וסוס אשר רכב עליו המלך ואשר ניתן כתר מלכות בראשו" דקאי על עצמו"ה ית', מובן, שכאו"א מישראל יכול להגיע לזה ע"י לימוד חסידות חב"ד, ובאופן ש"תלמוד מביא לידי מעשה". אלא שצריך שיהי' לו הרצון לכך. וכידוע הפתגם "מאָזשעש, דאַ ניע חאָטשעש" (אתה יכול, אלא שאינך רוצה!). ב' חלקים מהתוועדות פורים ה'תשט"ז ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=24-11-2025 Synopsis (1) At a farbrengen in Eretz Yisroel, one of the speakers said of a certain individual that now, since he is in the World of Truth and sees the greatness of studying Chassidus, he is envious of even the youngest student in Tomchei Temimim. And the truth is, this is a clear teaching of the Gemara. The Gemara says: “In the future, the Holy One, blessed be He, will make seven canopies for each and every tzaddik…and each and every one will be burned from the canopy of his fellow.” Meaning: since in this world he chose not to study these parts of Torah, they are “his fellow's canopy,” and he cannot enter. But now that he sees its preciousness, he pushes to enter and gets “burned.” (2) Chassidus explains that the verse, “Let them bring the royal garment that the king has worn, and the horse upon which the king has ridden, and upon whose head the royal crown has been placed” refers to the Divine Essence and Being. Thus it is understood that every Jew can attain this level by learning Chassidus Chabad, and in such a way that the “study leads to action.” One must only have the will to do so, like the well-known saying, “Mozhesh, da nye chotshesh” – “You can, but you don't want to!”2 excerpts from farbrengen of Purim 5716 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=24-11-2025

Parshas Toldos: When Nations Stir This week's Parsha brings us into the very beginning of a struggle that started before Yaakov and Esav were even born. Rivkah feels something inside her that no one can explain, leading her to cry out in fear, a moment that opens one of the most meaningful revelations in the Torah. From this inner turmoil comes a story that shapes the destiny of our people: twins drawn to opposite worlds, blessings that determine the future, and a mother who sees the truth long before anyone else. With the Radak's clarity and the Lubavitcher Rebbe's deeper insight, we explore how Rivkah's fear became the first sign of a divine plan already unfolding. It's a Parsha about confusion that becomes clarity, struggle that reveals purpose, and the quiet beginning of a destiny still alive within us.

התוכן עמ"ש בזהר פ' תזריע שר' אלעזר ור' אבא הלכו בדרך ופתח ר' אלעזר ודרש עה"פ [בראשון דפ' לך לך] "אמרי נא אחותי את" וכו', מסביר אאמו"ר הטעם שדרש על פסוק זה דוקא, כי ר' אלעזר ור' אבא הם בדוגמת אברהם ושרה (חכמה ובינה), ולכן בהליכתם בדרך דרש על פסוק זה המדבר בהליכת אברהם ושרה בדרך. ויש לבאר גם שייכות הענינים בתוכן, ובהקדמה: אע"פ שהליכת אברהם ושרה בדרך היתה כפשוטו (כידוע הסיפור בימי הרשב"א בקשר לזה), יש לדעת שכ"ז הוא "גופי תורה", ויש גם "נשמתא דאורייתא", פנימיות הדברים: מטרת ופנימיות הכוונה בהליכת אברהם ושרה (חכמה ובינה) בדרך היתה כדי לברר הניצוצי קדושה שבכסף וזהב וכו' של מצרים ולהעלותם לארץ ישראל, לקדושה, "למען ייטב לי בעבורך". ועד"ז היתה הכוונה בהליכת ר"א ור"א בדרך (אע"פ שר' אלעזר הי' "תורתו אומנתו" וכן ר' אבא שהתחבר אליו, ואיך הפסיקו ויצאו לדרך? אלא) שהיו מוכרחים לצאת מביהמ"ד כדי לברר הניצוצי קדושה שבדרך.‏ב' חלקים מהתוועדות מוצש"פ תזו"מ ה'תשל"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=31-10-2025 Synopsis The Zohar states on parashas Tazria that Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Abba were once traveling, when Rabbi Elazar expounded on the verse (at the beginning of parashas Lech Lecha), “Please say that you are my sister…”. My father explains that the reason Rabbi Elazar expounded specifically on this verse is because Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Abba correspond to Avraham and Sarah (Chochmah and Binah). Therefore, when they were traveling, he expounded upon this verse, which talks about Avraham and Sarah traveling. We can explain that there is also a thematic connection between the journey of Avraham and Saraha and the journey of Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Abba, by way of introduction: We know that while Avraham and Sarah's journey took place physically (the body of Torah), there is also a deeper meaning (the soul of Torah): the inner purpose of Avraham and Sarah's journey was to refine the sparks of holiness contained in the silver and gold of Egypt and to elevate them to holiness (“Eretz Yisroel), as alluded to in the verse, “…so that it may go well with me because of you.” Similarly, this was the intent Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Abba's journey: Although “Torah was their sole occupation” (and therefore they would not ordinarily interrupt their learning for travel), they were compelled to leave the beis midrash in order to refine the sparks of holiness along the way.2 excerpts from farbrengen of Motzaei Shabbos parashas Tazria-Metzora 5739 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=31-10-2025 לזכות ר' לוי הלוי בן לאה שי' לרפואה שלימהנדבת משפחתו שי'

התוכן [המשך] מכיון שבקשת צרכיו מה' הוא מ"ע מן התורה, ואסור לאדם לצער את גופו – כיצד מותרים אלו שגרים בסמיכות לירושלים לדחות את שאלת הגשמים שצריכים מיד אחרי החג (בודאות) – בגלל הדאגה לטובת ה"אחרון בישראל" (מצד הספק)?! והביאור: כאשר יהודי חדור ברגש של אהבת ישראל כדרוש – הרי בידעו שקיימת אפשרות ש"אחרון שבישראל" יצטער על הגשם – לא יתכן שירגיש צורך בירידת גשמים להשקות את שדותיו, ולא יתכן שיהנה מזה! ובמילא אינו חייב לבקש על זה ואינו מצטער ע"ז שאינו יכול לשאול גשמים, ואדרבה – אילו היו יורדים גשמים לפני ז' חשון הי' מצטער בגלל צערו של ה"אחרון בישראל"! רגש זה של אהבת ישראל שייך לכאו"א מישראל, שלכן הדין שאין שואלים גשמים בא"י לפני ז' חשון הוא פס"ד ברור בשו"ע; כאשר יתכן ש"אחרון בישראל" יצטער על כך שיעצרנו הגשם – ברור הדבר שאצל כאו"א מישראל יתבטל כל הרצון והצורך בירידת גשמים לפני ז' חשון!משיחת אור ליום ג' פ' לך לך, ז' מרחשון ה'תשמ"ו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=29-10-2025 Synopsis (Continued.) Since requesting one's needs from Hashem is a positive mitzvah of the Torah, and a person is forbidden to afflict his body, how is it permitted for those living near Yerushalayim to postpone their request for rain (which they definitely need), out of concern that rain might hinder the journey of the last Jew returning home (which is only a possibility)? The answer is that when a Jew is imbued with true Ahavas Yisroel, the knowledge that there is even a possibility that the last Jew returning home might suffer discomfort from the rain makes it impossible for him to feel a need for rain to water his fields. Therefore, he is not obligated to ask for rain, and he feels no distress from not asking for it. On the contrary, if rain were to fall before 7 Cheshvan, he would be distressed from the distress of the last Jew returning home. And because this feeling of Ahavas Yisroel is possible for every Jew, it was established as law that one does not request rain in Eretz Yisroel before 7 Cheshvan.Excerpt from sichah Monday night, parashas Lech Lecha, 7 Marcheshvan 5746 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=29-10-2025 לזכות ר' לוי הלוי בן לאה שי' לרפואה שלימהנדבת משפחתו שי'

התוכן ארץ ישראל צריכה גשמים מיד אחר חג הסוכות, ומ"מ מתחילים לשאול גשמים שם רק מז' מרחשון, ט"ו יום אחר החג, "כדי שיגיע האחרון שבישראל שעלה לרגל, לביתו לנהר פרת, שהוא מקום ישוב היותר רחוק מירושלים, ולא יעצרנו הגשם" [אדה"ז בשו"ע]. ובזה מודגשת הענין דאחדות ישראל: שאלת גשמים מיד אחרי החג היא צורך חיוני ביותר לקיומו של האדם, ולאידך, טובתו של "אחרון שבישראל" שלא ירדו גשמים עד שיגיע לביתו "שלא יעצרנו הגשם" אינו אלא ענין של נוחיות בלבד, ואעפ"כ מתאחדים כל בנ"י בא"י ומאחרים את שאלת הגשמים ט"ו יום כדי שה"אחרון שבישראל" יוכל להגיע לביתו בנוחיות! אע"פ שמצות עשה מן התורה לבקש צרכיו מה', וכמו"כ "אין לאדם רשות על גופו כלל . . לצערו בשום צער", כי "אין נפשו של אדם קנינו אלא קנין הקב"ה"! [המשך יבוא]ב' חלקים משיחת אור ליום ג' פ' לך לך, ז' מרחשון ה'תשמ"ו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=28-10-2025 Synopsis Although Eretz Yisroel needs rain immediately after Sukkos, the inhabitants of the land do not begin asking for rain until 7 Marcheshvan – fifteen days after Sukkos ends, “so that the last of the Jews who made their way up [to Yerushalayim] for the pilgrimage could return to their homes on the Euphrates River – the most distant settlement from Yerushalayim – without being impeded by rain” (Alter Rebbe's Shulchan Aruch). This emphasizes Jewish unity, because although asking rain is a vital necessity, whereas the concern of “the last of the Jews” being impeded by rain is merely a matter of convenience, nevertheless, all the Jews in Eretz Yisroel unite in delaying their request for rain by fifteen days, so that the last of the Jews could reach his home with ease. And this is despite the fact that it is a positive mitzvah of the Torah to request one's needs from Hashem, and moreover, “A person has no authority over his body at all…to cause it any pain,” because “a person's soul is not his own possession but the possession of the Holy One, blessed be He.” (To be continued.)2 excerpts from sichah of Monday night, parashas Lech Lecha, 7 Marcheshvan 5746 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=28-10-2025 לזכות ר' לוי הלוי בן לאה שי' לרפואה שלימהנדבת משפחתו שי'

Why the Dor Hamabul was destroyed for their sins while the Dor Haflaga was simply dispersed on account of theirs. 

Parshas Noach: The Hidden Truth Our Parsha tells of Noach, a man who remained faithful as the world fell into chaos. After the flood, G-d placed a rainbow in the sky, a sign of His eternal covenant with humanity. The Rebbe teaches that the rainbow was not created anew, but revealed. The flood had purified the world, thinning the darkness so Divine light could finally pass through. What once hid the light now revealed it. The rainbow became a reflection of G-d's mercy and of the light concealed within every storm. In honor of Eretz Yisroel, May G-d protect our brave soldiers and give healing to our nation Dedicated in loving memory of Edward Ben Efraim, Shlomo Ben Edward, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia.

Was Adam HaRishon jewish and what the world would've looked like had he not sinned.

The Yom Kippur Perspective: Unbound, Forgiven, Free Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year, a time when we abstain from physical pleasures and rise to angel-like clarity. From Kol Nidrei's haunting melody to Neilah's closing cry of Shema, the day carries us from release to renewal. The Rebbe explains that Kol Nidrei is not about G-d's forgiveness, that comes with the day itself, it is about freeing ourselves from the vows, guilt, and limits that keep us bound. Only then can our truest self emerge, ready to be sealed in the Book of Life. In honor of Eretz Yisroel, May G-d protect our brave soldiers and return all the hostages in Gaza immediately. Dedicated in loving memory of Edward Ben Efraim, Shlomo Ben Edward, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia.

Why was Joseph, the viceroy of Egypt, buried in the Land of Israel, while Moses, the greatest Jewish leader in history, was not?In this timely and emotionally-charged class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath unpacks a Midrashic conversation between Moses and G-d that reveals something deeper than geography: the power of Jewish identity without shame. Joseph never let go of his roots, even when it cost him everything. Moses, for reasons of his own, allowed others to misidentify him.What emerges is not a critique, but a calling.This is a class about Eretz Yisroel, yes. But it's also a class about spiritual backbone, about moral clarity, and about what it means to be a proud Jew in a world that often wants us to shrink.KEY TAKEAWAYSBeing “too Jewish” is never the problem, being disconnected is. Joseph's merit was his unapologetic loyalty to Israel, even in exile. Spiritual identity is not something we rent. It's who we are. Moses was not punished, he simply wasn't a fit for a mission he didn't fully embody. Today, being a Joseph means embracing our role as G-d's ambassadors, even in the toughest rooms. Israel is not just a land—it's the soul's homeland. Even from across the globe, we are rooted there. When we stop apologizing for our presence, our light begins to shine.#Israel #Judaism #Jewish #Zionism #EretzYisrael #Midrash #Moses #Joseph #IsraelHamas #IsraelWar #MoralClarity #JewishHistory #Torah #TorahPortion #TorahLessons #torahwisdom #torahpsychology #BibleStudy #Bible #BiblicalCrticism Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?
