  • Parshat Shmini: The Power of Silence

    Parshat Shmini: The Power of Silence
    Apr 25 2025
    📖 Parshat Shmini This Week: After the unimaginable loss of his sons, the Torah simply states 'vayidom Aharon' (וַיִּדֹּם אַהֲרֹן)—'and Aaron was silent.' Sometimes in our deepest pain, words cannot express what we feel. As we support loved ones through difficult times, remember that just being present—sitting beside someone in their silence—can be the most profound expression of love. Not every hurt needs immediate words; sometimes what's needed most is simply our quiet presence. Shabbat Shalom. 🤍

    Shabbos Kestenbaum: Fighting Antisemitism
    Apr 23 2025
    🗳️ IMPORTANT: VOTE NOW for student representation at the World Zionist Congress: http://aish.com/vote/RabbiMenachemLehrfield

    Welcome to our channel, where we spotlight voices making a difference in the Jewish community. In this powerful talk, Harvard Divinity School graduate Shabbos Kestenbaum shares his journey as the sole remaining plaintiff in a landmark civil rights lawsuit against Harvard University over antisemitism on campus.

    Shabbos discusses:
    • Why he refused to settle when other plaintiffs did
    • The troubling rise of antisemitism on elite campuses
    • His advice for Jewish high school students considering college
    • The importance of Jewish education and youth empowerment🗳️
    • Support Jewish student leaders by voting in the World Zionist Congress elections (only happens once every 5 years!): http://aish.com/vote/RabbiMenachemLehrfield

    • Select Slate #10 (AISH)


    Shabbos challenges us to reconsider what institutions truly deserve our support and argues that the Jewish community should focus on building stronger Jewish identities rather than fighting for acceptance at universities that have demonstrated hostility toward Jewish students.
    This talk was recorded live at AISH CENTER in Boulder, Colorado, on April 23, 2025.

  • Parshat Shvi'i shel Pesach: Taking the First Step

    Parshat Shvi'i shel Pesach: Taking the First Step
    Apr 18 2025
    📖 Shvi'i shel Pesach This Week: When trapped between the Egyptian army and the sea, God told the Israelites something unexpected: 'Don't pray, move forward!' The Midrash teaches us that the sea finally split only when Nachshon ben Aminadav waded into the water up to his nostrils. Faith isn't just about prayer; it's about taking that first brave step, even when the way forward seems impossible. God promises to be with us, but we must initiate the journey. Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach! 🌊
