Parshas Ki Tsavo: Rediscovering Our Blessings Season 8 Episode 40 | #371 Why does the Torah treat serving G-d without joy so seriously? If we are doing everything required of us, why should our attitude matter? In this episode, we explore Rabbeinu Bachya and Rabbi Jonathan Sacks on the deeper meaning of simcha, and why gratitude changes the way we experience the blessings already in our lives. 

Indestructible Garments

As the Book of Deuteronomy draws to its conclusion, the narrative makes a transition: Moshe finishes conveying the mitzvos to the nation, and sets up his final parting message to the people. First, he commands the nation to perform several elaborate ceremonies on the very first day that they cross the Jordan River; then he […]

Death of the Ego

Forgiveness is a Gift

Torah!

Why does the Torah send a soldier home from the front line — not for cowardice, but for having spoken between his tefillin shel yad and his tefillin shel rosh? Of every aveirah in the Torah, why is that the one that disqualifies him? This week we bring the Tolner Rebbe's approach: the arm-tefillin is a man's own strength, the head-tefillin is his awareness of Who gives him that strength, and the whole avodah is refusing to let the two come apart. A soldier who has already severed them is right to be afraid. And we are all going out to some battle every day.

In thsi week's episode Rabbi Kohn discusses the connection between the juxtatpostion of judging honestly and the prohibition of planting an asharah tree. How we must have a discerning eye to discover the things that seem hardless but can be deadly. He also speaks about the Parsha's focus on the leaders of the Jewish people and how that effects the entire Jewish people.  Subscribe to The Practical Parsha Podcast. For questions or comments please email RabbiShlomoKohn@gmail.com.

In this week's episode Rabbi Kohn discusses the true power of prophecy. How the prophets of Israel are not meant to be miracle workers and future tellers. Rather they are to give us clarity in the situations we find ourselves in NOW. He also talks about the commandment of living "wholeheartedly with G-D" and how we dont need to worry about the future. Subscribe to The Practical Parsha Podcast. For questions or comments please email RabbiShlomoKohn@gmail.com.

Israel's Victory is Spiritual

Parshas Re'eh 5786 ספר דברים פרק יג פסוק א את כל הדבר אשר אנכי מצוה אתכם אתו תשמרו לעשות לא תסף עליו ולא תגרע ממנו׃ {פ} Sefer Devarim Chapter 13 Verse 1 aThis verse is labeled as 12.32 in some editions, and chapter 13 starts with the next verse. Be careful to observe only that which I enjoin upon you: neither add to it nor take away from it.

A big red button sits next to your bed. Press it and you get 24 hours with no Torah, no mitzvot, no kosher, no Shabbat restrictions, and no accountability afterward. The question sounds playful, but it turns brutally honest fast: do we experience Judaism as a burden we'd love to escape, or as a life we'd never trade away?We open Parshat Re'eh and focus on the Torah's surprising word choice: “See, I place before you today blessing and curse.” Why “see”? Drawing on a Slabodka yesod, we explore how spiritual growth depends on vision, not just information. When Torah stays abstract, the “other path” looks exciting. When Torah becomes real in the mind's eye, you can actually see where each road leads.Then we flip the usual framing of reward and punishment. The verses describe the blessing as listening itself and the curse as not listening itself, meaning the Torah life in this world is the bracha. We talk about Jewish pleasure, prayer as mindfulness, suffering with context, and a classic midrash about two paths that start opposite and end opposite. If you've ever felt the tug of the “day off” fantasy, this conversation is for you.

Parshas Reah

Parshas Re'eh: Following His Will Season 8 Episode 39 | #370 Can we become holier by adding to the Torah? If our intentions are sincere, why would the Torah forbid adding mitzvos alongside subtracting from them? In this episode, we explore the insights of the Ramban, Rambam, and Sforno, discovering that true spiritual growth is not about creating new paths, but deepening our commitment to the one G-d has already given us. The greatest transformation comes not from doing more, but from doing what already matters with greater purpose. The deepest connection to G-d begins when we let His Torah shape us.

Miracles by the Water

Parshas Eikev: Yesterday Shapes Tomorrow Season 8 Episode 38 | #369 Why would Moshe remind the Jewish people of the sin of the Golden Calf just before they entered Eretz Yisroel? Wouldn't this have been the time to inspire confidence rather than revisit their greatest failure? In this episode, we explore Rashi's explanation and the Alter Rebbe's transformative insight from Tanya. Discover why the Torah teaches us that our past is not meant to imprison us, but to humble us, strengthen us, and prepare us for a brighter future.
