B”H Is Astrology part of Judaism? Are we allowed to use it? If so, how do we use it? In today's conversation we explore: What is kosher astrology, and of course, what isn't it? How can you use it to maximize your potential, and live a life of real alignment with your soul's mission? And of course — that leads us right into our money — can kosher astrology tell you how much money you or your business is going to make? No. But, don't give up on me just yet, because what astrology can do for you, is going to be so much more valuable; and might actually give you the push to unleash your earnings potential. Rabbi Yitzchok Pinkesz is the Author of Kosher Astrology: A Jewish Guide to Celestial Wisdom. Rabbi Pinkesz is a Torah-observant astrologer who has been practicing astrology in accordance with the Torah for over 15 years. His fascination with personal transformation led to extensive research in Jewish philosophy, psychology, and astrology. Buckle up because the topic of this conversation is on the one hand really out there, and on the other hand it can be something that really grounds us. So if you're going through a time where you feel like you're all over the place, or you’re stumbling, or feeling like you're fumbling in the dark, or you're being really challenged in a particular way, I think you will find this conversation really comforting. I never imagined saying those words about astrology. But, alas here we are. Here's Rabbi Yitzchok Pinkesz. You can find the book on Amazon or on his website kosherastro.com where you can also learn more, and even sign up for a Birth Chart Reading. The post 455: Kosher Astrology on Mazel, Mission & Money with Rabbi Yitzchok Pinkesz appeared first on Yael Trusch.

But this is not the ultimate form of service, because there is still “an entity who loves” etc., as the verse says: “I was not manifest to them by My Name Havayah.” The ultimate form of service is expressed in the verse, “Therefore, say to the Jewish people: I am Havayah” – meaning that Moshe Rabbeinu, whose essence is bitul, and whose entire being is that of “I am Havayah,” transmits this level to the Jewish people. In particular, this means the service of Torah study. In this way we come to the ultimate revelation of “I am Havayah,” with the coming of Moshiach.3 excerpts from maamar Va'eira el Avraham, Motzaei Shabbos parashas Va'eira, 5739 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=11-01-2026 לע”נ הבחור אפרים אליעזר ב"ר מנחם ע"ה דבורקן ליום היארצייט שלו כ"א טבת. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.נדבת אחיו ר' ארי שי' דבורקן

I used to think astrology was nonsense - until I met Rabbi Yitzchok Aharon Pinkesz. Rabbi Pinkesz reveals how Judaism and the Torah have always contained a hidden wisdom about the stars - what he calls “Kosher Astrology.”He explains how your birth chart reflects your divine mission, why timing in life is never random, and how God uses celestial cycles to guide human destiny.This isn't superstition - it's a deep exploration of how the universe, faith, and free will are intertwined in ways most of us never imagined. We even discuss what Kosher Astrology says about Trump.Website for book and sessions: https://kosherastro.com/Amazon: https://a.co/d/9YV3b7g✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬ ► Es-Kay Digital: Sharp, Fresh, Marketing ExecutionMost marketing feels repetitive, but Shainy Katz delivers work that is sharp, fresh, and strategic across nonprofits, schools, and businesses.

התוכן מעלת חודש כסלו שהוא חודש השלישי דחדשי החורף, שאז מודגשת מעלת עבודת האדם מצ"ע, עפ"י המבואר בכ"מ דהעבודה של חדשי הקיץ היא באופן של "אתערותא דלעילא", ואילו העבודה דחדשי החורף, ימות הגשמים שבאים ע"י הקדמת ה"ואד יעלה מן הארץ", היא באופן של "אתערותא דלתתא". בקביעות ר"ח כסלו בש.ז. מודגש הענין של "מלכתחילה אריבער": א) "תהא שנת נסים". ב) ר"ה חל להיות בשבת. ג) ר"ח ביום השלישי "שהוכפל בו כי טוב" ד) פ' "תולדות יצחק" שלידתו היתה בנס ויש בה את הברכה של "ויתן לך האלקים וגו'" – "ויתן ויחזור ויתן". ומצד כל מעלות אלו הנה העבודה עכשיו, להביא את הגאולה, נעשית באופן נעלה ביותר ובמילא באה הגאולה מיד ממש! ואת הגאולה צריכים בפועל ממש ואי אפשר להחליף אותה אפי' בענין הכי נעלה כמו הפצת המעיינות חוצה שע"י אדה"ז וכו'.משיחת אור ליום ג' דפ' תולדות, אדר"ח כסלו ה'תש"נ ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=21-11-2025 Synopsis The unique quality of the month of Kislev is that it is the third of the winter months, during which the emphasis is on man's own service (winter is the season of rain, which comes after and as a result of the “mist rising up from the earth,” meaning, a Jew's tefillah – an awakening from below), in contrast to the summer months (where the emphasis is on the awakening from above). The timing of Rosh Chodesh Kislev this year in particular emphasizes the approach of m'lechatchilah ariber: (1) The acronym for this year (תש"נ – 5750) is תהא שנת נסים – “May it be a year of miracles.” (2) Rosh Hashanah occurred on Shabbos. (3) Rosh Chodesh Kislev falls on Tuesday, when “‘It was good' was said twice.” (4) The weekly parashah is “These are the descendants of Yitzchok…” whose birth was miraculous, and moreover, this parashah contains the blessing “And may Hashem give you…” – “May He give and give again.” Because of all these special qualities, the task at hand now – bringing Moshiach – can be carried out in the loftiest manner, and therefore the Redemption will come immediately. And the Redemption must take place in the literal sense: it cannot be substituted even by something as lofty as the spreading of the wellsprings outward by the Alter Rebbe etc.Excerpt from sichah of Monday night, Parashas Toldos, 1st day of Rosh Chodesh Kislev 5750 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=21-11-2025 נדבת הרוצה בעילום שמו לחיזוק ההתקשרות
התוכן ג' האבות אברהם יצחק ויעקב חיו ביחד ט"ו שנה. ועד"ז באבות החסידות – הבעש"ט, המגיד ואדמו"ר הזקן. מספר ט"ו הוא כנגד האותיות י"ה דשם הוי' שמורים על חכמה ובינה, שזהו החידוש דחסידות חב"ד – שהעבודה שבלב, החידוש דתורת החסידות בכלל, תהי' קשורה עם חב"ד. בנוגע לעת"ל כתיב "ביום ההוא יהי' וגו'" – ב"פ י"ה, שגם ו"ה יהי' כמו י"ה, ועפ"י מאחז"ל "שלשה הטעימן הקב"ה בעוה"ז מעין עוה"ב . . אברהם דכתיב בי' בכל יצחק דכתיב בי' מכל יעקב דכתיב בי' כל" – מובן מה שהי' אצלם המספר ט"ו (והפלא הוא שכאו"א מזכיר בבהמ"ז "כמו שברך את אבותנו אברהם יצחק ויעקב בכל מכל כל, כן יברך אותנו כו'"!) ועד"ז י"ל בנוגע לג' אבות החסידות בנוגע לגילוי פנימיות התורה; לא רק עבודת אברהם היתה קשורה עם צדקה אלא גם יצחק ועאכו"כ יעקב, קו האמצעי, שכל עניניו הם באופן ד"נחלה בלי מצרים".ב' חלקים מהתוועדות ח"י אלול ה'תשמ"א ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=20-11-2025 Synopsis The lives of Avrohom, Yitzchok, and Yaakov in this world overlapped for a period of fifteen years, and the same is true of the Avos of Chassidus – the Baal Shem Tov, the Maggid, and the Alter Rebbe. The number fifteen corresponds to letters Yud-Kei of the Name Havayah, which represent Chochmah and Binah (which is the unique contribution of Chassidus Chabad: linking the service of the heart (which is the contribution of Chassidus in general) to the intellect). Concerning the future era it says, “on that day will be (יהיה)” – Yud-Kei twice – indicating that at that time the letters Vov-Kei will be like the letters Yud-Kei. And based on the Gemara's statement, “Three were given in this world a taste of the World to Come…Avrohom, of whom it is written bakol (“with everything”); Yitzchok, of whom it is written mikol (“from everything”); and Yaakov, of whom it is written kol (“everything”),” we can understand why they overlapped for fifteen years. (The amazing thing is that everyone says in Birkas Hamazon, “As He blessed our forefathers Avrohom, Yitzchok, and Yaakov bakol, mikol, kol – so may He bless us….”) Similarly, it could be said about the three Avos of Chassidus and the revelation of the inner dimension of Torah. Not only did Avrohom's service involve tzedakah, but also that of Yitzchok, and all the more so Yaakov – the middle path, who merited “a boundless portion.”2 excerpts from farbrengen of 18 Elul 5741 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=20-11-2025
Are the inward parts of life a step away from our external contributions? Is the only way to influence others through a concerted focus on our outer purpose? Does our personal development and divine service bear fruit in tangible ways? Lessons from our biblical patriarch Yitzchok, whose life of inwardness is titled "Toldos" (offspring) in this week's Torah portion, teaching us a deep lesson about what our inwardness brings to the world, and helping us understand the relationship between our purpose and our inner work.Source:Parshas Toldos, Likutei Sichos, Volume 25, Sicha 2* * * * * * *To inquire about sponsorship & advertising opportunities, please email us at info@humanandholy.comTo support our work, visit humanandholy.com/sponsor.Find us on Instagram @humanandholy & subscribe to our channel to stay up to date on all our upcoming conversations ✨Human & Holy podcast is available on all podcast streaming platforms.

And there must be a union of Torah and mitzvos etc. The descent of the soul (Ma”h) into the body (Ba”n) represents the union of Ma”h and Ba”n etc.Excerpt from sichah of Monday night, parashas Chayei Sarah, 20 MarCheshvan 5742 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=12-11-2025 לזכות מרת מנוחה רחל בת פרומה רבקה שתחי' ליום ההולדת שלה כ"א מרחשוןולזכות ילדי'ה שמואל, מנחם מענדל ושלום דובער שיחיו מאיעסקילהצלחה וברכה בגו"ר בכל מכל כל
Rabbi Shais Taub is joined by Yitzchok Aharon Pinkesz, author of Kosher Astrology: A Jewish Guide to Celestial Wisdom to explore one of the most misunderstood topics in Jewish thought. Together, they discuss what astrology really means through the lens of Torah and how to distinguish kosher astrology from forbidden practices, and what role the stars and constellations play in shaping our spiritual path. You'll even hear Rabbi Taub's own astrological chart.

התוכן כמה הוראות ממ"ש בשני דפ' חיי שרה: 1) "ויקם שדה עפרון" וכמ"ש בפרש"י "תקומה היתה לו שיצא מיד הדיוט ליד מלך": כאשר יהודי לוקח דבר גשמי לרשותו ועושה ממנו תשמישי קדושה וכיו"ב פועל בו "תקומה", שיוצא מגדר "מילי דהדיוטא" ונעשה דבר של קדושה השייך לרשותו של ה', מלך העולם. 2) "ואברהם זקן בא בימים" וכמ"ש בזהר שכל ימיו היו מלאים בעניני תומ"צ: שלא יישאר אפי' רגע א' מהיום שאינו מנוצל לעניני תומ"צ. 3) "ואברהם זקן": וההוראה ע"פ מ"ש "זקן – זה שקנה חכמה", שדבר חכמה שלומד צ"ל קנינו – "דם ובשר כבשרו". 4) שליחות אליעזר בקשר לשידוכי יצחק ורבקה, שבזה מתבטא ענין הכללי שבכל המצוות – יחוד מ"ה וב"ן, נשמה וגוף, כוונת ומעשה המצוות.משיחת אור ליום ב' פ' חיי שרה, כ"ף מרחשון ה'תשמ"ו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=10-11-2025 Synopsis Some lessons from sheini of Chayei Sarah: (1) On the verse, “Ephron's field was confirmed,” Rashi states, “It had a rise, because it passed from the hands of an ordinary person to the hands of a king”: When a Jew takes a physical object into his possession and uses it for holy purposes, such as items used for a mitzvah, this causes it to “rise,” meaning to leave the category of the mundane and to become something holy under the domain of Hashem, the King of the universe. (2) On the verse, “Avraham was old, advanced in days,” the Zohar states that all his days were filled with Torah and mitzvos. The lesson is that not a single moment of the day should be left unused for Torah and mitzvos. (3) “Avraham was old”: The Sages teach that “An ‘elder' is one who has acquired wisdom”; the wisdom one learns must become his own acquisition, “blood and flesh like his flesh.” (4) Eliezer's mission of making the shidduch between Yitzchok and Rivkah represents the general theme underlying all mitzvos: the union of Ma”h and Ba”n, of soul and body, of the intent of the mitzvah and the act of the mitzvah.Excerpt from sichah of Sunday night, parashas Chayei Sarah, 20 MarCheshvan 5746 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=10-11-2025

התוכן עבודת אברהם אבינו היתה מתוך אהבה, והראי' ע"ז מביאה הגמ' ממ"ש "זרע אברהם אוהבי". וביאר אדמו"ר האמצעי בצעירותו הטעם שהלימוד הוא דוקא ממ"ש ביחס ל"זרע אברהם" ולא מאברהם עצמו, כי מכיון שהקב"ה בעצמו דיבר עם אברהם וכו' אין פלא שהיתה אצלו ענין האהבה, אבל כשגם "זרע אברהם" הם "אוהבי" זוהי הראי' שענין האהבה אצל אברהם הי' מצד תכונת נפשו מצ"ע. ואע"פ שמבין ה"זרע אברהם" היו דורות שההנהגה בהם היתה בא' משאר המדות כמו "פחד יצחק", אבל גם אצלם זה בא מצד מדת החסד וכו'. וכמו שאצל אברהם, הנה גם היראה שלו ("עתה ידעתי כי ירא אלקים עתה") היתה מצד האהבה, ועד"ז הוא גם אצל ה"זרע" שלו, שגם אם לפעמים צ"ל ההנהגה הגלוי' עם השני לא בקו החסד אבל זה צ"ל מצד האהבה אליו, וכל זמן שהוא לא בטוח שזהו מצד האהבה אלא מצד איזה פני' – ימנע מזה! ג' חלקים מהתוועדות יו"ד שבט ה'תשי"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=05-11-2025 Synopsis Avraham Avinu's service of Hashem embodied the trait of love, as the Gemara derives from the verse, “the descendants of Avraham who loved Me.” When the Mitteler Rebbe was a child, he explained why the proof comes specifically from a verse about “the descendants of Avraham” and not from Avraham himself: the fact that Avraham Avinu served Hashem with love does not prove that Avraham's very nature was love, because anyone spoken to directly by Hashem would serve Hashem with love. But the fact that even “the descendants of Avraham” are called those “who love Me” proves that Avraham's love was rooted in the very nature of his soul. While it is true that “the descendants of Avraham” included generations whose conduct embodied attributes other than love, such “the Fear of Yitzchok,” nevertheless, even then, the fear etc. stemmed from the attribute of kindness. Just as even Avraham's fear (“Now I know that you are G-d-fearing”) was rooted in love, the same must be true of his descendants: even if at times one must treat another person with what seems to be the opposite of kindness, it must be rooted in his love for that person. As long as one is not certain that this action stems from love and not some other motive, he should refrain from it.3 excerpts from farbrengen of 10 Shevat 5719 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=05-11-2025 לזכות פריידא בת צירל שתחי' ליום ההולדת שלה י"ד מרחשון - לשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות

The numerical of the letters of the word *עקב* is 172, indicating that he observed the halakha for this many years. If AVROHOM lived until 175 then his first recognition of the Creator must have been at the age of three.Connecting the *עקב* of Parshas וירא to the *עקב* of Parshas תולדות. אגרות קודש ע׳ רמבילקוט לוי יצחק וירא סי׳ קמ״ה

The child must also be trained to recognize that he stands upon a strong foundation, as a son of Avrohom, Yitzchok, and Yaakov, and daughter of Sarah, Rivkah, Rochel, and Leah – the Avos and Imahos of all Jews in all generations. To instill this feeling in children, educators must be a living example and personally conduct themselves accordingly; they must remember that a child notices everything, and does not recognize the difference between something “minor” and something “severe” (even where the Torah recognizes them as such).3 excerpts from sichah of Tuesday, parashas Vezos Habrachah, 6 Tishrei 5744 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=30-10-2025 לזכות ר' לוי הלוי בן לאה שי' לרפואה שלימהנדבת משפחתו שי'
