  • Pre-Passover Special - When the Chains are Invisible
    Mar 29 2026

    There’s something about this time of year… As we prepare for Pesach, cleaning, cooking, setting the table… we’re also being invited into something deeper. Not just a historical remembrance… but a personal awakening.

    Because the real question of the Seder isn’t “What happened then?” It’s “Am I free now?”

    In this special pre-Passover episode, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath shares an exclusive preview from the audiobook of The Forgiveness Experiment Chapter 9.

    A look into the “Mitzrayim” within, the inner narrowness, the old voices, the quiet fears that still hold us back long after we’ve “left Egypt.” Drawing on timeless Torah wisdom, including the teaching that “in every generation… a person must see themselves as if they personally left Egypt” , this episode invites you into a different kind of Exodus:

    One that happens not all at once… but step by step. Breath by breath. Choice by choice.

    You’ll explore:

    • Why freedom is not a moment, but a process
    • How trauma keeps us attached to what we’ve already outgrown
    • What it means to become your own Moses
    • And how to gently lead the parts of yourself that are still stuck… toward something wider, softer, freer

    This episode is deeply personal. Honest. Whether you’re sitting at the Seder this year wondering if anything has really changed… or you’re ready to take one small step out of your own inner Egypt…

    This is your invitation.

    Listen to this special preview now…

    And if you’re ready to go deeper, the full audiobook of The Forgiveness Experiment is available on Audible US here https://www.audible.com/pd/B0GMS5DCKH/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-495504&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_495504_rh_us

  • This Passover: How to Finally Break Out of Feeling Stuck
    Mar 25 2026

    What if the line in the Haggadah isn’t history… but a diagnosis? “If G-d hadn’t taken us out of Egypt, we would still be there.” Not physically. Psychologically. Spiritually. Emotionally. In this heart-open Kabbalah class, Rabbi Bernath unpacks the deeper meaning of Egypt, not as a place, but as a mindset. An inner voice that says, “This is just who I am.” A life shaped by patterns we stopped questioning.

    Discover how the Exodus introduced something the world had never known before: the possibility of change. A new language. A new identity. A new way to see yourself—not as a product of your past, but as a soul with infinite capacity to grow.

    This isn’t about leaving Egypt. It’s about realizing you were never meant to stay.

    Takeaways:

    Egypt isn’t a place, it’s a mindset of limitation and resignation

    The deepest slavery is when you stop believing change is possible

    The Exodus gave the world a new “language of freedom”

    Every inner shift, from fear to courage, from stuck to growth, is a personal Exodus

    You don’t need to become someone new, you need to remember who you already are

    Freedom begins the moment you challenge the story that says “this is just me”

  • When, Not If: Why Your Mistakes Might Be Your Greatest Strength
    Mar 18 2026

    In this deeply real and liberating class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores a striking idea from Parshat Vayikra: the Torah doesn’t say if a leader will fail, it says when. Why? Because growth, leadership, love, and even spirituality all require stepping into a messy, imperfect world.

    Through the lens of Kabbalah and Chassidus, you weren’t created to be perfect, you were created to transform imperfection. Your mistakes are not interruptions to your journey… they are the journey.

    This class reframes failure, guilt, and self-doubt and replaces them with responsibility, growth, and deep self-compassion.


    Takeaways:

    The Torah’s radical view: failure is not a flaw, it’s part of your mission

    Why people who never “mess up” often never fully show up

    The difference between guilt that crushes… and responsibility that elevates

    A Kabbalistic perspective on why G-d wants an imperfect world

    How to stop fearing mistakes and start using them as fuel for growth

    The secret to leadership, in your home, your relationships, and your life

    Why accountability (not perfection) is the real goal
