Along the way, Rabbi Eliezrie shares gripping stories, newly uncovered insights, and the human side of a leader whose love for every Jew was as fierce as his fight for our future.This conversation isn't only about the past, it's about the fire that still burns in us.

When the enemy advances, HaShem is already there shielding us before their plans can touch us. Listen to Rabbi David's Shabbat sermon based out of Parasha Vayetzei at Congregation Mayim Chayim.

Before Yeshua healed a single person, before He preached a single sermon, and before He called a single disciple—He waited. Thirty silent years. And when the heavens finally opened over Him, the very first thing the Spirit did was not send Him into ministry… but into the desert.   Why?   Because the wilderness reveals our hunger and because Yeshua is walking out another story.     In Matthew 4, the Adversary whispers to Yeshua, “Turn these stones into bread.” But Yeshua answers with the lesson Israel forgot, the lesson Adam and Eve rushed past, the lesson Esau traded away, the lesson Saul failed—and the lesson we still struggle with: “Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”   We avoid waiting. We fill the silence. We numb the hunger. But in the desert seasons—ankles breaking, plans collapsing, blessings disguised as disasters and vice versa—God does His deepest work.   Gam Zu L'Tovah. This too is for the good.

When we try to ‘help' G-d fulfill His promises, we end up in His way—because His plan never needed our shortcuts. Listen to Rabbi David's Shabbat sermon from Parasha Toldot at CMC.

Our special guest, Rabbi David Bassous, shares positive feedback on the challenges of being a woman in the 21st century.

You may have heard of John the Baptizer, but have you heard of “The Little Dipper”?  This week in Matthew 3, John the Baptizer shows up calling Israel to repent — turn around, prepare, get ready for the King.   But then we meet his opposite: the Little Dipper — a made-up “prophet” who says, “Relax… a little sin is fine. The kingdom's far away.”   John prepares the way. The Little Dipper prepares excuses.   Join us as we explore real repentance — turning, immersing, confessing — and why John is the coach we need even right now.   The Kingdom of Heaven is upon you!

As a first grader once said, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him tap dance.” The way that Yeshua fulfills the expectations and prophecies in the Hebrew Bible is both expected and unexpected.  This whole year we are learning about the Gospel of Matthew.  We dove into Matthew Chapter 2 this week; let's see how this very Jewish story fulfills the Israel story, shows the divinity of Yeshua, and transforms our lives.

Unity at the Tower of Babel was to make a name for man; in Messiah, unity makes His Name known. Listen to Rabbi David's Shabbat sermon based out of Parasha Noach at CMC.

We've all got surprising sides — collectors of pottery and hanukkiahs, rock painters, pageant queens, airplane-card archivists, even someone who can blow a shofar with their hands. If we're full of surprises, Kal Vachomer, how much more does Yeshua have surprising facets? This Shabbat we'll open the first words of John, Mark, and Matthew's Gospels and uncover the hidden connections to the Jewish people and to the Creator in the Beginning. “The Word was with God and the Word was God.”  In the beginning… there's more than you think.

Two men went up to pray—one proud of his record, the other pleading for mercy. Two kinds of fasting—one to be seen, the other to set free. One counts his good deeds; the other counts on God's grace. Yom Kippur asks: Are we afflicting ourselves… or awakening compassion? Are we tallying what we've done for God… or remembering what He's done for us? This year, it's time to get dressed— not in sackcloth and ashes, but in compassion, humility, and love.

We woke up. We got washed. We got dressed. Now it's time to go outside.

Sukkot reminds us that we rejoice not because life is easy or secure, but because G-d's Presence dwells among us. Listen to Rabbi David's Shabbat sermon for Sukkot at CMC.

IWASGUNNA… IWASGUNNA… Ole King David, he never said  “IWASGUNNA” because he was Heaven-led IWASGUNNA make a house for God to the letter But His building my house is 10 times better IWASGUNNA IWASGUNNA The 5 maidens said IWASGUNNA get some oil I had all these plans that were quickly foiled Cause the groom came back in the middle of the night IWASGUNNA get some oil later tonight IWASGUNNA IWASGUNNA The Israelite Slaves in Egypt land Wanted to build something grand Then that Moses came and did what he did But IWASGUNNA make this here pyramid!

TEKIA!!!!

Why does God call us to garden in thorns? From Adam to Moses to Messiah, the consequence, the curse, and the calling collide.

In Part 3 of his series on 2 Peter, Rabbi Schiller looks at the theme of spiritual growth, how it's inevitable if we have the spiritual DNA of the Holy Spirit, and some practical steps we must take include regular time alone with God; vulnerability with fellow Believers; and submitting to God's will.

In this picture of me and my dad, that toddler doesn't look a lot like him yet.  But today, google photos thinks that's me on the right.  We are made in the image of our Father in heaven, but also, it takes time to grow into His image.  To learn more…

In Part 2 of his series on 2 Peter, Rabbi Schiller looks at various aspects of spiritual growth, showing how it's possible, necessary, gradual, inevitable, organic, and observable.

What would you do if your tribe got no land? How do you survive with no property and no means to produce any food? What if your only inheritance was… God Himself? What does it mean that the Lord is our portion, our cup, our eternal inheritance? This week we'll explore how the Levites' “loss” was actually their greatest gain—an inheritance incorruptible.

What is Israel? Where is it? Who is it? And how do I relate to it? If you've ever found yourself asking these kinds of questions, you're not alone. In this final episode of our Conversations with a Rabbi series, Rabbi David and R.A. Martinez sit down for an honest and hopefully helpful conversation about Israel—what it means, why it matters, and how we engage with it. We need spaces like this to ask real questions, wrestle with disagreement, and find clarity together. Tune in and join the conversation.

Rabbi David's Pizza is open for business—where the motto is: “Man does not live on bread alone… but also sauce and some cheese.”  From manna in the wilderness to pizza in the promised land, this week's message reframes the desert: not as the kvetching years, but as the training ground for trust. Join us as we discover why bread isn't enough—and how God turns the desert into an oasis of His presence.  Listen to “Be a Desert” here….

On this episode of Celebrate Your Story, I sit down with Rabbi David Katz, whose journey from the opera stage to the pulpit is as profound as it is inspiring.

Rabbi David shares his story of being a professional opera singer before becoming a cantor and ultimately a rabbi. Through candid storytelling, he opens up about his experiences with addiction and recovery, his evolving understanding of faith, and how he bridges the sacred and the secular in both his personal life and his leadership within the Jewish community.

Benjamin Kintisch initially got in touch with us early last year via a podcasting Facebook group and discussed having him join the show! After picking up the conversation again in recent months we were happy to make that happen this week! Benjamin is the creator of “Life Review: A Hospice Musical” that serves to reflect on the emotional moments of Hospice care through the eyes of the character Rabbi David and the patients he visits. This is a one man show that Benjamin has been running for over a decade and we enjoyed getting to dive in more about it! He discussed his initial love for theater and music as a song writer and how he managed to combine that with his own work in Hospice in the mid 2010's. We also touched on the perception of death specifically as it's viewed in the United States and the ways he's been able to see success while touching on this topic in such a unique and enlightening way for others to receive. While we ran out of time to discuss everything we had in mind, we look forward to welcoming Benjamin back real soon to continue this chat and thank him for his time and positive energy this week!Submit a demo track(s) for release consideration with Proven Knowledge! - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1l_h_XayHVqWIJHgTYyV5vGgThfRVEiBh8lw9SP8DrQw/viewform?edit_requested=trueConsider becoming a monthly supporter of the show by visiting the link here

This Shabbat, journey with us through Parashat Mattot-Massei as we explore the questions: Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going? In a portion that at first glance seems like just a list of ancient place names, we uncover something: each stop along Israel's wilderness journey tells a story—of struggle, lessons learned, deliverance, and divine love. Like the Israelites, our lives are marked not just by locations, but by transformation. We remember our past, recognize our identity as beloved of God, and fix our eyes on the Kingdom of Heaven—the Land of Promise where there is fullness of healing, shalom, and the presence of God.

What does it mean to go against the current—to stand for truth when lies are popular, to choose humility when culture celebrates pride, and to pass down blessing even when we've inherited brokenness? Listen to Psalm 49—written by the sons of Korach, the very ones who refused to repeat their father's mistakes. It's never too late to turn the ship around. Come be encouraged, challenged, and reminded that in Messiah Yeshua, there's always opportunity for new direction.
