  11. Total Forgiveness - Nitzavim/Vayelech

    One of my Rebbe's essential life principles is, "I wouldn't do it to you. But if you do it to me – it's okay." If you do something bad to me and I could really get back at you for it — and I give up on that — I resist the knee-jerk reaction to take revenge, the Gemara says that Hashem responds...

  30. Israel in Danger! Parashat Shelach

    We often place our hopes in political leaders, military strength, alliances, and diplomatic agreements. And these may all have their place - but ultimately, they are not our protection.

  34. There's Only One Truth - The Lesson of Shavuot

  37. Who Created G-d? Behar/Bechukosai

    If your faith is just based on 'Because I believe…,' it's vulnerable to intellectual challenge – like 'Who created God?' What is the answer to this question? In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed "Bohemian…

  38. The Secret of the Omer - Parshat Emor

    The Torah commands us to count the days from Pesach to Shavuos. We call this Sefirat HaOmer. Yet the name is puzzling. The Omer was a one-time barley offering brought in the temple on the second day of Pesach. Why define this entire period of counting by a one-time korban? Wouldn't it be more...

  40. Is Holiness only for the Holy? Acharei Mot/Kedoshim

    Parshat Kedoshim is filled not with ethereal ideas, but with practical mitzvos: honesty in business, respect for others, sensitivity, restraint. Because once a person internalizes that Hashem fills all reality, holiness is no longer something distant—it becomes something imminent and immediate....

  41. Artemis Inspiration

    One of the most difficult things in davening, praying, is when we say the Shema, and we pronounce Hashem's Name, we are meant to think: He is the Creator of everything. Not just the Earth, not just the solar system, the universe - everything. Beyond. And beyond the beyond. Now this isn't an easy...

  43. The Food of Faith - Pesach

    When you bake bread, you mix the flour and the water, you knead it, and then you set it aside. Your involvement ends at that point. Yet the dough does not remain static. The dough, so to speak, takes over. It seems to change "on its own" Matzah is the exact opposite. From the moment the dough is...

  44. The Secret of Shabbat HaGadol

    All Jewish festivals are linked to the calendar date and not the day of the week - with one exception: Shabbat HaGadol, which we observe on the day and not the date. What do we commemorate on Shabbat HaGadol, and why don't we celebrate it on its calendar date? In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair...

  46. The Sweet Smell of Purim

    I remember opening a book quite recently and the aroma of the pages instantly transported me back to my days in kindergarten. Of the five human senses, the sense of smell is the most evocative, and the most intangible. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track...

  48. The Best Headphones in the World !! - Parshat Teruma

    When you give, it's really nothing to do with the thing itself. The thing itself is just the box. The container. What's inside the box is you. You give yourself. The gift is the giving. Receiving is about what you get. Giving is always about giving yourself. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair...

  50. Don't Feed The Cats! Parshat Mishpatim

    The Torah commands us not to cause unnecessary suffering to animals, Not just for the sake of the animal, but because cruelty damages the human soul. Parshas Mishpatim is about caring when no one is looking. The Torah demands kindness precisely where there is no gratitude, no recognition. Animals...
