In this deeply moving conversation, Rabbi Hammer opens up about his daughter Gila—her vibrant spirit, her struggles following a traumatic assault, and the painful journey that led to her tragic passing. He shares stories of Gila's infectious joy, her kindness, and her larger-than-life presence, as well as the challenges she faced when navigating pain and despair. Through this heartfelt interview, Rabbi Hammer reflects on the importance of open dialogue about mental health and suicide prevention. He speaks about the founding of Gila's Way, an organization dedicated to raising awareness, educating communities, and providing support for families in crisis. This discussion is not only a tribute to Gila's memory but also a powerful call to action: to break the stigma, to listen more deeply, to validate the struggles of those around us, and to never ignore the signs of someone in pain.

Tefillin causes “all the peoples of the earth to see that the name of Hashem is called upon you, and they will fear you.” Tzedakah – as it says in Midrash Tanchuma etc. And even more so in the Mivtza of Bayis Malei Sefarim, where the entire essence of the home is only a vessel for the sefarim within it.

Understanding Unity Within Creation: Notes from Likutei MoharanTwo Approaches to Understanding CreationTop-Down Approach: The source (or seed) contains all potential, with everything emanating from it in a structured, orderly way. From this perspective, creation unfolds with perfect unity.Bottom-Up Approach: Starts from our experience of fragmented reality where things may appear disconnected or contradictory. The spiritual work is to align these fragments back with their original source to reveal their deeper unity.Spiritual Growth as RealignmentAs we ascend through different spiritual levels, we refine ourselves and reconnect with the panimiyus (internal essence) of each level.The Process of Alignment: We must realign ourselves with the inner purpose at each stage of growth, sensitizing ourselves to the deeper truth present at every level of reality.Money and Tzedakah in Divine ServiceMamon as a Vessel (Kli): Money can either serve as a tool for Hashem's purpose or become empty and meaningless when disconnected from its source.Purpose of Tzedakah: Charity aligns our physical resources with spiritual purpose. When used properly, money becomes a means to express divine unity in the world.Spiritual Rectification: The act of giving redirects resources to fulfill divine will. Money used for tzedakah becomes infused with purpose, rectifying both the giver's soul and participating in the greater tikkun of creation.Navigating Contradictions in Spiritual LifeApparent Contradictions: At each level of spiritual and personal development, we encounter challenges and apparent contradictions. This happens in all contexts—educational, business, and personal.Growth Process: As we develop spiritually, we begin to see how seemingly contradictory elements fit together in a unified whole, serving a greater purpose.Yichud (Unity) as Higher PerspectiveTranscending Contradictions: Spiritual growth allows us to access higher levels of unity where we can see the entire system as interconnected.This higher vantage point reveals how each piece works toward the ultimate goal of divine revelation in the world.Tzedakah as Expression of UnityThrough tzedakah, we actively participate in creating unity between the Creator and creation.When we give, we align ourselves with divine purpose, ensuring our resources reveal Hashem's light in the world.

The host articulates the significance of three names of God—Kel, Elokim, and Yudkei Vav Kei—and how they correspond to distinct aspects of truth in our lives.

Each segment illuminates how these elements serve as conduits for divine truth, empowering individuals to transform their reality through sincere speech and actions.

Join us as we dive into the fascinating story of Rabbi Eliezer and the legendary Tanur Shelachnai, or snake oven, exploring the profound implications of speech and truth in our lives. This episode highlights the power of Rabbi Eliezer's speech, showcasing how he sought to demonstrate the validity of his opinions through miraculous signs, emphasizing the importance of charity, repentance, wealth, and leadership in our discourse. We reflect on the concept of unity among diverse opinions and how true peace is achieved when individuals come together despite their differences. The discussion also touches on the idea that our actions today can impact future generations, particularly through acts of charity. Ultimately, we explore how the pursuit of truth and the unity of purpose can illuminate our paths, drawing connections between the teachings of Rabbi Nachman and the timeless wisdom of tradition.Morning greetings set the stage for a journey into the profound teachings surrounding the concept of 'holy speech' as explored through the lens of the Tanur Shelachnai, or the 'snake oven.' This episode delves into the three divine names—Kel, Elokim, and Yudkei VAV kei—that are intricately connected to the energies we harness to elevate our speech to a level of truthfulness and sanctity. Listeners are taken through a rich tapestry of Jewish thought, where the power of prayer (Tefillah) represented by Kel, the wisdom of Torah embodied in Elokim, and the divine orchestration of relationships marked by Yudkei VAV kei converge to illuminate the essence of truthful communication. The discussion weaves through the concept that every utterance we make can be categorized into four parts of speech: Tzedakah, Teshuvah, Asheris, and Malchus, each representing a distinct category of expression that reveals the depth of our internal and external realities. Through the lens of Rabbi Eliezer's encounters with the Chachamim, the episode emphasizes the importance of unity in diversity, showcasing how even when voices differ, the ultimate truth can shine through when spoken with sincerity and intent.The episode unfolds with a narrative rich in allegory and metaphor, drawing parallels between the ancient practice of pottery and the purity of speech. The Tanur Shelachnai serves as a symbolic representation of the challenges faced in the pursuit of truth, particularly in the context of the halachic debates that ensued between Rabbi Eliezer and the Sages. The metaphorical 'snake' that encircles Rabbi Eliezer alludes to the complexity of truth-seeking within a diverse community, where differing opinions can spiral around a central point without resolution. Listeners gain insight into the spiritual dynamics at play when the walls of the Beis Medrash trembled at Rabbi Eliezer's insistence that the halacha should follow him, underscoring the tension between divine authority and earthly consensus. The commentary culminates in the understanding that while Rabbi Eliezer's mastery of speech was profound, it was the collective agreement and unity among the Chachamim that ultimately aligned with divine will, revealing a greater truth that transcends individual perspectives.A key takeaway from this exploration is the essence of true leadership and the power of speech as a transformative force in both personal and communal contexts. The episode not only emphasizes the intellectual rigor of halachic discourse but also the emotional and spiritual dimensions that accompany it. By connecting the dots between the four essential categories of speech and their respective implications for social and spiritual well-being, the discussion invites listeners to reflect on their own speech and its impact on relationships and community dynamics. The final thoughts resonate with the idea that true purity in speech arises from a place of humility and a commitment to collective truth, encouraging everyone to strive for a deeper understanding of their roles in...
