Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: Yud Beis Tammuz – 99 years: What does this day teach us? What happened on this day and what lessons does it offer us today? Why does the celebration of the Frierdiker Rebbe's liberation extend for two days – 12-13 Tammuz? Why is this month named after a Babylonian idol? What is the spiritual energy of this month? Is there a connection between the events of this day in 5754 and back in the time of Joshua when the sun was stopped? Is there something special about today, June 21, being the longest day of the year? Why didn't Joshua simply pray that the enemy be defeated? What is the mission of Chassidim who are not on shlichus? Is the Rebbe perfect? Follow-up What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week's Torah parsha? Can we heal people today by using a similar treatment to gazing at a serpent of brass mounted on a pole, as Moses was commanded? Why was Moses striking the rock such a great sin? Why was he not given the opportunity to do teshuva? Why were others not given the opportunity to do teshuva just as the sons of Korach were? What was the sin of Baal Pe'or? What lessons does this despicable sin offer us today? Why is a Parsha named after the evil Balak? What parts of Balaam's blessings were about Moshiach? What can we learn from Balaam's closing plot against the Jews? How should we react to the President's latest deal with Iran? Can we parallel the back-and-forth attitude of Iran to what Pharaoh and the Egyptians did regarding freeing the Jews? Tammuz Gimmel Tammuz Chukas-Balak Iran How is today's unrest in the Middle East a continuation of the unresolved conflict between Ishmael and Isaac? And what can we do to achieve permanent peace? Is it a good idea to allow my son to travel with a group to visit the concentration camps in Poland and Ukraine?
This episode features a short clip from Dr. Robert Heidler about the Hebrew month of Tammuz and the theme of gates — doorways into new beginnings, life (the letter Chet), and access to Gods presence amid tribulation. The host connects the message to how difficulties can push us through gates into the kingdom, bringing healing, provision, revelation, and warning against opening doors to idols. The episode closes with prayer and encouragement to intentionally "go through the gates" this month.
התוכן [המשך] יהודי אינו יכול לשנות אופני השמירה שלו! כמו הדג בטבעו אינו יכול לחיות מחוץ למים, כך חיים יהודים, שהם "המעט מכל העמים", תלויים עפ"י טבע בזה שמגבירים את האיכות על הכמות ואינם יכולים לחיות ללא תומ"צ ש"היא חיינו ואורך ימינו"! [הדיוק ב"אורך ימינו" הוא שכל יום כשלעצמו הוא "ארוך": כשהכ"ד שעות עוברים רק באכילה ושתי' וכיו"ב ללא תוכן אמיתי – אין זה "יום" של אדם כלל. כשמתנהג עפ"י התורה במשך היום – זה "יום" סתם. וכשלומד תורה בשעה אחת בחיות והתלהבות כזו שלאחר זה לוקח כ"ד שעות – זה יום "ארוך"]. מי שטוען שאנו חיים עפ"י דמוקרטי' ואסור להכריח וכו' – הרי זה בדוגמת העושה חור בספינה בלב ים סוער בחדרו בטענה שזהו "דמוקרטי'"... לא רק שאסור לך להתנהג כך אלא עליך "לכוף כל ישראל" בדרכי נועם ובדרכי שלום להשאיר את ה"ספינה" בשלימות ויגיע בשלום למחוז חפצו. וכמ"ש "אם בחוקותי תלכו . . ונתתי שלום בארץ וגו'", עד לקיום היעוד "ואולך אתכם קוממיות" לקבל פני משיח צדקנו.משיחת י"ג תמוז ה'תשל"ו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=24-06-2026 Synopsis (Continued.) Just as a fish cannot live outside water, so too the Jewish people, by its very nature, cannot survive without prioritizing quantity over quality and without keeping Torah and mitzvos, which are “our life and the length of our days.” (As the Alter Rebbe explains, “length of our days means an individual day itself becomes “long”: A day spent only on physical activities such as eating and drinking is not a considered a “day” for a human being at all. When one conducts himself according to Torah throughout the day, that is an ordinary day. And when one learns Torah for one hour with such vitality and enthusiasm that would take someone else twenty-four hours to achieve the same thing – that is a “long day.”) And if one argues: we live in a democracy where coercion is forbidden etc. –the answer is that we are all like people on one ship. One cannot say that since he paid for his cabin he is free to drill a hole in it cabin because he paid for his ticket so he can do whatever he wants. Not only must he not drill a hole in the ship; rather, he must also “compel all the Jewish people,” in pleasant ways and peaceful ways, to keep the ship intact by keeping Torah and mitzvos, as the verse states, “If you walk in My statutes…I will grant peace in the land, etc.,” and “I will lead you upright” to greet Moshiach Tzidkeinu.Excerpt from sichah of 13 Tammuz 5736.

Tammuz and Av are, according to the Zohar, days of judgment. The Creator of the world "provides a cure before the plague" and sends us the secrets of the sweetening of the judgments. How do you turn judgment into mercy, failure into success, death into life, destruction into growth? This is the secret of human correction and this is the secret of true healing. The secrets of medicine and its symbolism in Parashat Balak. The judgment determines our decisions because it controls our mind and thoughts. Only when we soften the judgment will we be saved from the humiliation of bad decisions.

GIMEL TAMMUZ Fabrengen with Rav Pinson
Are you seeing through eyes of faith?In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt is joined by Pastor Michael to talk about the Hebrew month of Tammuz, a season centered on vision, perspective, and spiritual rhythm. This is a "seer" month—a time of heart purification that shifts your perspective to align with God's vision.There is a battlefield in your mind and a fight for your perception. What you see is what you say–and what you perceive shapes your direction. The enemy will attempt to hijack your mindset with fear, distraction, and discouragement, but God is offering a way out– a renewed mind that comes through obedience, abiding, and Kingdom authority.Join Rabbi and Pastor Michael as they share the importance of repentance and accountability, how to protect your “eye gate”, and ways to discern open doors of opportunity.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length:49 minutesSynopsis: This morning (6/18/26), in lieu of morning Mishlei, we had the last Q&A - and last shiur! - of the 2025-2026 season. We took up four questions: (1) What are the parameters of philosophical/ethical bribery? (2) How do you navigate having friends who could potentially have a bad influence on you, and how might you have a good influence on them? (3) What would you say to a person who is unaware that the Torah cares about our inner life? (4) How does one explain our yeshiva when asked about it? (I was actually asked another question about my thoughts on the role of Israel in our Jewish life, but I declined to answer - not only because I keep all my Zionism articles behind a paywall, but because I'm considering writing another one this summer and I don't want to make any statements until I've written it.)This was my last YBT shiur of 2025-2026, and what a great year it's been. I'm looking forward to summer break, but I'm already excited about what next year will bring!-----מקורות:משלי טו:כזדעות ו:אאבות ב:טhttps://www.yeshivabneitorah.org/-----The Torah Content for the month of Tammuz is sponsored by Yael Weiss.

In this episode of The Power of the Hebrew Months, Rabbi Pill and I explore the avodah of Tammuz: learning to perceive reality through the eyes of Torah. We discuss how the meaning we attach to life's events often shapes our experience more than the events themselves, and how many of our greatest struggles stem not from what we see, but from how we interpret it. Tammuz provides a framework for finding Hashem within moments of confusion, uncovering hidden opportunity within apparent setbacks, and transforming the way we relate to challenges, disappointment, and uncertainty.Join the Conversation!

The month of Tammuz time to see things differently.
Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: 29 Tammuz: The bridge between 28 Sivan and 3 Tammuz What should be our focus as we move from the third to the fourth month?How do we reconcile Gimmel Tammuz with the Rebbe telling us about the imminence of Moshiach's coming? Ad mosai – how much longer must we wait for the geulah? Did the Rebbe make any statements that implied Gimmel Tammuz was about to happen, and did he give clear instructions for what he wanted us to do afterward? Why do we discuss fewer details about Gimmel Tammuz than about the day of the passing of the previous Rebbes? How can one honor Gimmel Tammuz if they are unable to visit the Ohel? Are kohanim and others who usually avoid visiting a gravesite allowed to visit the Ohel? Is a Rebbe perfect? How should a Chassid approach a situation where he does not understand something the Rebbe said or did? Is the Rebbe doing more miracles today than before Gimmel Tammuz? Can we say that the Rebbe is Moshiach after Gimmel Tammuz? What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week's Torah parsha? Is there a connection between Korach and Gimmel Tammuz? What was the deeper reason for Korach's opposition to Moses? Was Korach like a “communist”? Why did the children of Korach survive? Why does it say that they “thought they were alive” when they were actually alive? Were Dasan and Aviram total villains? Didn't they allow themselves to get whipped instead of their brethren? Why will Korach serve as Kohan Gadol in the future? How about the rioting that ensued? Gimmel Tammuz – 32 years: What does this day teach and expect of us? Korach Are there any lessons to be learned from the NY Knicks victory?
This episode declares the month of Tammuz as a season of refined vision, first fruits, worship, and entering a harvest prepared by God. We explain the biblical significance of the fourth month using passages from 1 Chronicles, Ezekiel, and Song of Songs, and connects these to a call to reject idols and distractions. Through stories and prophetic insight, the message encourages listeners to view wilderness seasons as times of formation and to expect a coming increase of authority and blessing as they allow God to be Lord of all. Practical themes include examining what may have become a "golden calf" in your life, reclaiming focus on worship, and stepping into new levels of destiny.
God always provides a cure before the plague arrives. In Parashat Ḥukat, there are instruments of healing and the sweetening of Judgments, such as the Red Heifer and the Copper Serpent, because Tammuz is the month of Judgments. How can the letter ח of the sign of Cancer be a symbol of the Gate - "The Gate for Sin" (Gen. 4:7) or a symbol of the sweetening of Judgments? What is a curse? - The result of disregarding the laws of the universe - "This is the law of the Torah."
