  • Gaza War - More Lessons
    Oct 30 2025

    In this week's episode we look at more of the lessons of the Gaza War and the Ceasefire. How do we understand the phenomenon of party politics? Where did this develop? How should one ideally react to party politics? Did the founding fathers of the Constitution think this would occur in the United States?

    Similarly we look at the world reaction to the conclusion of the Gaza War. How much of an aberration are the calls for the destruction of the State of Israel? What are their motivations?

  • Koheles: Controversy & My Personal Experiences
    Oct 12 2025

    In this episode, we look at why Koheles is a controversial Sefer in Tanach. Chazal weren't sure if Koheles should be included in Tanach, why is this true? Is there a connection in how we understand this issue and the machlokes in Chazal if Koheles was authored with Ruach HaKodesh?

    We also look at the basic difficulties people have in learning and understanding the Sefer. I also discuss my personal path and experiences in coming to a solid understanding of the Sefer.

  • Man, Authority & Obligation
    Oct 5 2025
