The Thirsty Soul: Psalms 63-65

In the face of peril, King David yearns to be constantly closer to Hashem. He delights in the thought of the Holy Temple and foresees the future of his offspring. He sees that his descendent, the Prophet Daniel, will be facing identical dangers that he faced. King David not only prays for Daniel, but for each of us as well.

Azamra: Likutei Moharan I:282

The Torah commands us to judge everyone fairly. Even if a person is seemingly evil, we can always find some good quality if we look hard enough. Likewise, we must search for the good points within ourselves. Our good points are like musical notes. When they come together, they create beautiful melodies.

The Tranquil Soul: Psalms 60-62

Despite no respite from both internal and external enemies, King David succeeds in maintaining a tranquil soul. What is his secret?

Hashem Loves You

Did you ever stop and ponder Hashem's magnificent creation of Planet Earth, with all its wonders like the Northern Lights, the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls and much more? That vast Planet Earth of ours is only a miniscule part of the solar system, and only one-millionth the size of the sun. Yet, our entire solar system is like a grain of sand within the Milky Way Galaxy, which in turn is like a fleck of dust within the vast super-galaxies that extend beyond our imagination. Now stop and think: Hashem momentarily turns aside from His entire vast universe to create a rain drop, make a flower blossom and help a newborn chick hatch out of the egg. Imagine what He does to perfectly direct every tiny facet of our lives in mind-boggling Divine Providence. Why? Because He loves you so very much, more than you can ever imagine.

The Power of Rebbe Shimon

The first 32 days of the Omer obligate us to curtail joy and joyous occasions. Then comes the 33rd day, 18 Iyar, the anniversary (yahrtzeit) of Rebbe Shimon Bar Yochai's departure from the physical world. Everything turns completely around with singing, dancing, rejoicing and festive meals. What's behind all this?   

Clean Green

An adequate income doesn't depend on how much money you make; it depends on the quality of the money you make. Today's podcast is the key to all the money you need.

Learning to Walk: Likutei Moharan II, Torah 48

When newcomers enter in to the service of Hashem, it looks like Hashem is pushing them away. They're hit with all kinds of problems that they never had before? Why? 

Escape from Darkness: Psalms 57-59

King David suffered unspeakable emotional and physical hardships. These included imminent death in captivity on more occasions than one. Prophetically, he felt our pain and wrote these Psalms for us too.

Purifying the Heart - Likutei Moharan I:156

The heart has a spiritual self-cleaning mechanism that is capable of cleansing it from all forms of impurity. Rebbe Nachman teaches us how to activate it.
 

Wings of a Dove: Psalms 54-56

Sometimes our troubles are so tormenting that we'd be happy to sprout wings like a dove and just fly away to a place of peace. King David felt exactly like that when he had no rest from enemies, both foreign and domestic. Prophetically, he felt our pain and wrote these Psalms for us too.

The Gaza War: No End in Sight?

There are those who claim, and seemingly rightfully so, that the Gaza War would have been over in 8 weeks, were it not for the interference of the Biden administration. Biden and Blinken forced Israel to enable the so-called "humanitarian aid" that enabled Hamas to recover from a near knockout. That may sound logical, but it contradicts the truth of emuna. Emuna tells us that everything is from Hashem, and that includes the Biden administration and Hamas. As such, today's broadcast helps us understand the emuna message of current events.

The Beauty of Simplicity: Likutei Moharan II, Torah 19

The closest distance between two points is a straight line. In spirituality, straightness means simplicity and honest innocence. The two traits, which are really one, makes a person beautiful. They also create the closest distance between the person and the Creator.
