Acts of Love: From Question to Action with Rabbi Yisroel Bernath

16 februari 2025 | 16 min

This episode dances around the age-old question, "What is Love?", the exploration begins with a universal quandary: the reason we question love's essence often stems from feelings of deficiency—either doubting the love from someone special or facing accusations of insufficient love ourselves. It suggests a poignant truth: we are most inclined to philosophize about love when its presence is questioned or feels lacking, much like no one questions the nature of a pastrami sandwich whilst enjoying one.

The narrative then divides the quest into two lanes: "Am I Loved?" and "Do I Love?", indicating that understanding love's impact on us can illuminate how we express love towards others. Love, as presented, is not an elusive sentiment detected by a mysterious heart's sensor but rather a series of tangible experiences perceived through our senses, validated by actions and expressions that signal to our brains and, consequently, to our hearts, the presence of love.

King Solomon's words in Proverbs "As water reflects a man’s face back to him, so is the heart of one man to another" is invoked to underscore that love, at its core, is a reflection, a reciprocal action that one can feel and recognize through the treatment they receive.

The episode emphasizes that love is fundamentally an action. It shifts the narrative from abstract conceptualization to practical expression, illustrating that love, akin to running or swimming, is defined by its enactment. The Hebrew word for love, "ahavah", rooted in the act of giving, encapsulates this ideology, positing that genuine love must manifest through tangible acts of kindness and care.

The discussion culminates with a divine perspective on love, referencing the commandment to love G-d, not as an emotional imposition but as a directive towards actionable love. This divine instruction echoes the broader theme: love is verified and validated through actions rather than mere feelings or declarations.

Takeaways:

Love as Reflection and Recognition: We seek the essence of love most acutely when its presence is in doubt. True love, however, is recognized through the actions and treatment we receive and give.
Love is Action, Not Just Emotion: The essence of love is captured not in abstract contemplation but in concrete actions and behaviors that convey care and affection.
The Divine Instruction on Love: The command to love God highlights the action-oriented nature of love, pushing us towards deeds of kindness as the true measure of love.

In essence, to question "What is Love?" is to embark on a journey from doubt to action, from introspection to expression, leading us to understand that the truest answer lies in how we act and respond to love in our lives. Love, therefore, is not just a state of being but a series of deliberate, loving actions that reflect our deepest commitments to others.

"I Have Come to My Garden" – The Chassidic Discourse that Defines Our Generation

6 februari 2025 | 41 min

Send us a text

This class explores the seminal Chassidic discourse Basi LeGani, first written by the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, and later expanded upon annually by his successor, the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson. This discourse outlines the purpose of creation: transforming the world into G‑d’s garden, a place of divine presence. It introduces the responsibility of the “Seventh Generation”—our generation—to complete this mission and usher in the final redemption. Through themes of personal transformation, divine revelation, and the power of "holy folly," we uncover the Rebbe's call to action: to bring G‑d’s presence into every aspect of the world.

Key Takeaways:

The Garden is Our World – Basi LeGani describes G‑d's desire to dwell in this physical world, not just in the heavens. Our task is to make the world a home for Him.
The Mission of the Seventh Generation – Like Moses, the seventh leader in his lineage, our generation—the seventh since the Alter Rebbe—is tasked with completing the divine plan.
Transforming Darkness into Light – The discourse emphasizes that our struggles with the “inner animal” are part of the mission; by channeling our desires toward holiness, we refine ourselves and the world.
Holy Folly – True service of G‑d sometimes requires acting beyond logic, just as the Tabernacle was built from shittim (wood related to shtut, folly). We must counter worldly foolishness with a deeper devotion that transcends reason.
A Call to Action – The Rebbe’s words demand more than study—they require us to actively bring others closer to Torah and mitzvot, ensuring that no soul is left behind in preparing the world for Moshiach.

The Plague of Darkness: The Battle Between Conscience and Corruption

30 januari 2025 | 29 min

Send us a text

This class does a deep dive into the psychological and mystical significance of Pharaoh’s final confrontation with Moses before the tenth plague. Throughout the first nine plagues, Pharaoh displayed a surprising level of tolerance towards Moses, despite the devastation he brought upon Egypt. But after the plague of darkness, something shifted—Pharaoh snapped and threatened Moses' life. Why was this the breaking point? Through Kabbalistic insight, we explore the Pharaoh within us all: the force that disconnects intellect from heart, numbing us to truth. Like an addict resisting recovery, Pharaoh’s descent into darkness mirrors the way we sometimes silence our own inner voice of conscience. Moses’ slap was not just an act of defiance—it was a symbolic moment marking Pharaoh’s complete spiritual collapse.

Key Takeaways:

Pharaoh vs. Moses as an Inner Struggle: Pharaoh represents the ego’s resistance to change, while Moses is the voice of our moral conscience.
Why Darkness Was the Breaking Point: The plague of darkness symbolizes the moment a person loses not only emotional awareness but also intellectual perception, making true transformation nearly impossible.
The Danger of Losing Sight: A person may endure emotional and even intellectual corruption, but as long as they retain a glimmer of awareness—of something greater than themselves—there is still hope.
The Addict’s Battle: Many struggle with self-destructive behaviors, hating yet needing their inner “Moses.” The moment they fully reject that voice, they risk losing themselves entirely.
Moses’ Slap as a Spiritual Statement: The slap symbolizes that Pharaoh had lost all divine presence within him. He was no longer just a cruel oppressor; he was a man who had extinguished his own soul.

This class challenges us to consider: Are we listening to our inner Moses, or are we allowing our Pharaoh to take over? And most importantly—have we reached a point of darkness where we no longer even see the battle?

What Would Moses Do? The Courage to Confront Injustice

16 januari 2025 | 24 min

Send us a text

In today's class Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores the qualities that made Moses the ultimate leader of the Jewish people, as demonstrated in three defining episodes from his early life. Moses' unwavering commitment to confronting injustice, even at great personal risk, offers timeless lessons on leadership and moral responsibility. As we face the terror threatening our brothers and sisters in Israel, Moses’ example provides a powerful framework for navigating the tension between compassion and righteous might, underscoring that peace is achieved not through appeasement but by confronting evil head-on.

Key Takeaways:
1. Leadership Requires Action: True leaders, like Moses, act decisively in the face of injustice, regardless of the context or the identities of those involved.
2. Moral Courage: At times, moral violence is necessary to protect the innocent and uphold justice, as in the case of Moses defending a Hebrew slave.
3. The Dangers of Appeasement: History shows that appeasing evil leads to greater suffering, as demonstrated by the Oslo Accords and similar policies.
4. A Balance of Strength and Compassion: While Isaiah’s vision of peace inspires us, the path to achieving it sometimes demands force, as articulated by the prophet Joel.
5. Timeless Leadership Model: Moses’ early life teaches us that a leader must be willing to sacrifice personal comfort to confront evil and protect the vulnerable.

The Fast of the 10th of Tevet and Joseph: Recognizing the Beginnings of Redemption

9 januari 2025 | 47 min

Send us a text

The fast of Asarah B'Tevet marks the siege of Jerusalem—a moment that appears subtle in its immediacy but significant in its consequences. Similarly, the story of Joseph reveals how the most painful events in life can lead to profound growth and redemption. By examining the parallels between Joseph’s journey and the lessons of Asarah B'Tevet, we uncover a deeper truth: even in the darkest moments, G-d's hand is guiding us toward transformation, healing, and purpose. This class explores both the historical significance of Asarah B'Tevet and Joseph’s journey to reveal how even our personal "sieges" can be moments of divine support and growth.

Key Takeaways

Significance of Small Beginnings: Asarah B'Tevet reminds us that even small actions or events, such as the siege of Jerusalem or the sale of Joseph into slavery, can set the stage for transformative changes.
The Duality of Pain and Growth: Just as the siege of Jerusalem marked the beginning of exile but also contained the seeds of redemption, Joseph’s descent into slavery was the foundation of his rise to greatness. Pain and setbacks, when approached with faith, can be turned into opportunities for growth and leadership.
Noticing the Cracks in Our Lives: Both Asarah B'Tevet and the story of Joseph urge us to address the early signs of trouble in our personal and spiritual lives. Whether it's the start of a siege or the seeds of discord within a family, the earlier we act, the greater the potential for healing.
The Power of Perspective: Joseph’s ability to forgive his brothers stems from his recognition that G-d was behind every step of his journey. This is a lesson for us to surrender our expectations and trust that our challenges are part of a divine plan.
Exile as a Catalyst for Redemption: The Babylonian siege of Jerusalem and Joseph's exile to Egypt share a common message: exile is not the end—it is a process that can bring us closer to Hashem and help us discover our inner strength. Just as Joseph rose to become a leader who saved many, the Jewish people’s exile has led to a stronger, more resilient nation.
Transformation of Pain into Triumph: Joseph’s message to his brothers—"It was not you who sent me here, but G-d"—aligns with the promise that fast days like Asarah B'Tevet will be transformed into days of joy and celebration in the Messianic era. Every descent is for the sake of a greater ascent.

The Paradox of Joseph’s Greatness | Rabbi Bernath’s Class on Parshat Vayigash

2 januari 2025 | 31 min

Send us a text

The dramatic moment when Joseph reveals his identity to his brothers, after decades of separation and pain, holds timeless lessons for our lives. This Torah episode is more than a reunion; it is a profound exploration of identity, resilience, and divine purpose. Through Joseph's words, "I am Joseph," we are invited to uncover the paradoxical power of struggle—how challenges, alienation, and darkness can unleash a person's deepest spiritual potential. This lecture delves into the nuanced dynamics of the story, addressing the brothers’ guilt, Joseph’s response, and the transformative message that adversity can catalyze unparalleled growth.

Key Takeaways:

Identity Beyond the Mask: Joseph’s declaration, “I am Joseph,” was not merely informational but transformational. It revealed not just who he was but the divine light and moral integrity that had been hidden beneath his external roles. His life teaches us the value of looking beyond the surface and recognizing the soul within.
Growth Through Adversity:
Joseph's greatness did not emerge despite his trials in Egypt—it emerged because of them. The very darkness of his journey was the catalyst for his extraordinary spiritual light. Our struggles, too, can become the source of our unique strength and greatness.
The Pain of Misunderstanding:
Joseph’s brothers initially failed to see his true character, both in his youth and when he was the viceroy of Egypt. This reflects a universal struggle: the pain of being misunderstood and the challenge of seeing others for who they truly are.
From Regret to Redemption:
The brothers’ initial reaction—horror at their missed opportunity—was met with Joseph’s reassurance. His words remind us that G-d’s plan is greater than our mistakes, and even our failures can be transformed into a vehicle for divine purpose.
The Power of Brotherhood:
Joseph’s second declaration, “I am Joseph your brother,” emphasized connection and unity. Even after betrayal, Joseph reasserted the unbreakable bond of family and faith, inspiring us to embrace reconciliation and healing.
Your Journey Is Your Purpose:
The lesson of Joseph’s life is that we should not live in the world of “If only.” Every twist and turn of our journey is designed by G-d to help us discover and fulfill our unique mission in this world.

Jewish Pride and the Light of Menorah

31 december 2024 | 26 min

Send us a text

This lecture by Rabbi Yisroel Bernath intertwines the historical story of Rabbi Leibel Alevsky's battle for public menorahs in Cleveland with the Maccabean revolt against Hellenist assimilation and the Torah portion Mikeitz. Rabbi Bernath explores the recurring theme of Jewish pride, from Joseph's unwavering identification as a Hebrew to the courage required to light public menorahs in defiance of opposition. The menorah, a symbol of both religious freedom and Jewish pride, challenges us to stand tall in our identity even when faced with societal pressures, reminding us that Jewish pride is the key to Jewish survival.

Key Takeaways

Jewish Pride in Action: Rabbi Leibel Alevsky's public menorah in Cleveland represents a modern-day Maccabean stand for Jewish dignity, despite opposition from both Jewish and non-Jewish communities.
Freedom vs. Assimilation: Chanukah is not just about freedom from oppression but also about resisting the allure of assimilation and holding onto one's identity amidst societal pressures.
Lessons from Joseph and Moses: The Torah portion Mikeitz contrasts Joseph's unwavering pride in his Hebrew heritage with Moses's initial identification as an Egyptian, illustrating the enduring importance of self-identification with one’s faith and people.
Symbol of Freedom: The public menorah is not merely a religious symbol; it is a universal symbol of freedom, shining a light against the darkness of cultural erasure and assimilation.
Generational Responsibility: Just as we nurture self-esteem in our children, we must nurture Jewish self-esteem, inspiring pride in their heritage and identity.

Rabbi Akiva and Yosef: Lighting Up the World with Jewish Wisdom

30 december 2024 | 14 min

Send us a text

This lecture explores the incredible journey of Rabbi Akiva, from an illiterate shepherd to one of Judaism's greatest sages, and how he gained both wisdom and wealth through divine providence and courage. Through fascinating Talmudic stories, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath shows how Rabbi Akiva’s life paralleled the mission of Yosef in this week's Torah portion: bringing light and faith to the outside world. The lecture ties these stories to the message of Chanukah, emphasizing the Jewish mission to illuminate the world, even beyond the walls of our homes. It concludes with the Rebbe's call to inspire others with Jewish values, ensuring that influence brings both spiritual and material success.

Key Takeaways

Rabbi Akiva’s Transformation: Rabbi Akiva’s journey from a poor shepherd to a wealthy Torah scholar teaches us that faith, wisdom, and perseverance can change the course of one's life and influence generations.
Divine Providence in Wealth: The Talmud illustrates that Rabbi Akiva’s wealth came through acts of courage, divine intuition, and his influence on others, including Kalba Savua, Ketiya Bar Shalom, and Rufina Rufus.
Parallel to Yosef: Like Rabbi Akiva, Yosef ventured into the outside world and upheld his faith, bringing the name of G-d into public spaces and influencing those around him with his integrity and wisdom.
Chanukah’s Public Message: The menorah is lit at the doorway, symbolizing the Jewish mission to bring light and divine wisdom to the public sphere and beyond, echoing Rabbi Akiva and Yosef’s life missions.
A Call to Action: The Rebbe teaches that by influencing non-Jewish colleagues with the Seven Noahide Laws, Jews can build respect, strengthen relationships, and serve as a beacon of light to the nations.

Embracing Paradox: Insights from Pharaoh’s Dreams in Parshat Miketz | Rabbi Yisroel Bernath's Weekly Sermon

27 december 2024 | 30 min

Send us a text

In this captivating lecture, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores the profound lessons hidden in Pharaoh's dual dreams presented in Parshat Miketz. Through the lens of Joseph's interpretations, Rabbi Bernath addresses questions about the coexistence of abundance and famine, the wisdom behind Joseph's advice to Pharaoh, and the deeper psychological and spiritual truths reflected in the story. He emphasizes how these timeless narratives mirror our own cycles of plenty and scarcity, advocating for the integration of our inner paradoxes to cultivate clarity and resilience in our lives.

Takeaways:

Insight and Chutzpah: Joseph’s courageous advice to Pharaoh, despite his status as a freed slave, teaches us the importance of inner strength and wisdom, regardless of our circumstances.
Recognition of Paradox: The coexistence of abundance and scarcity is a fundamental aspect of human experience. Recognizing and integrating these dualities can lead to deeper understanding and personal growth.
Proactive Preparation: Joseph's approach highlights the need to prepare not just for imminent challenges, but also to remain conscious of potential difficulties during times of prosperity.
Transformative Vision: True wisdom recognizes that challenges often embody solutions. Joseph's interpretation serves as a reminder to seek out opportunities within adversities.
Emotional and Spiritual Resonance: By acknowledging our own cycles of clarity and confusion, we can align ourselves with our inner wisdom and resilience, allowing for growth and healing.

Dreams in Action: Lessons from Joseph, the Butler, and the Baker

19 december 2024 | 16 min

Send us a text

The second half of Genesis is filled with dreams that carry profound messages about life, destiny, and action. In this class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores the dreams of Joseph, the butler, and the baker, uncovering their deeper meanings. Through Joseph’s interpretations, we learn a critical distinction: the difference between being active participants in shaping our destiny versus passive observers of life’s circumstances. By understanding this lesson, we are empowered to take charge of our challenges, break free from our personal prisons, and transform our sighs into meaningful deeds.

Key Takeaways:
Active vs. Passive Living: The butler's active role in his dream symbolizes life and freedom, while the baker’s passivity reflects helplessness and demise.
Joseph’s Wisdom: Joseph’s interpretations teach us that being proactive in life leads to growth and redemption, while inaction can trap us in stagnation.
Prison as a Metaphor: Everyone faces limitations—whether emotional or circumstantial. The key is to take action despite those constraints.
The Power of Deeds: Small, intentional actions can break cycles of despair and open the door to freedom and purpose.
A Call to Action: Whether facing personal struggles or communal challenges, the solution lies in doing—no matter how small the first step may seem.

The Titanic, Yaakov, and Our Eternal Mission | Rabbi Bernath’s Weekly Sermon on Parshat Vayeitzei

5 december 2024 | 24 min

Send us a text

In this sermon, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath draws parallels between the lives of Isadore and Nathan Strauss, the parsha’s narrative of Yaakov’s journey back to the Holy Land, and the enduring challenges and mission of the Jewish people throughout history. By exploring the Strauss brothers' devotion to Israel, Yaakov's escape from Lavan, and the recurring pattern of antisemitism in history, the sermon highlights our divine purpose: to illuminate the world with G-d's presence and moral clarity, wherever we may be.

Key Takeaways

The Choices That Shape History:
Nathan Strauss’s decision to stay in the Holy Land, missing the Titanic, underscores the importance of placing values and mission above convenience. Yaakov’s choice to leave Charan, despite its challenges, reflects the yearning to reconnect with our roots and divine purpose.

The Recurring Pattern of Antisemitism:
From Yaakov’s struggles with Lavan to Yitzchak’s conflicts with Avimelech, the Torah reminds us of the historical cycle where Jewish success leads to envy, displacement, and eventual recognition of G-d’s blessings. This pattern continues in modern examples, including the complex relationship between Jews and host nations like China.

Our Divine Mission:
Beyond economic or social contributions, Jews have a spiritual role in every community—to inspire faith, accountability, and recognition of G-d. The absence of a Jewish presence often leaves a moral and spiritual void, as seen in Avimelech’s plea to Yitzchak: “We have surely seen that G-d was with you.”

Actionable Inspiration:
Recognize that every moment and decision—whether supporting Israel, staying true to Torah values, or fostering spiritual growth—contributes to our mission of being a light unto the nations.

Digging for Light: Carrying the Legacy of Rabbi Zvi Kogan HY"D

27 november 2024 | 31 min

Send us a text

In this deeply personal and profound sermon, we confront the unanswerable question of why tragedies befall righteous individuals, using the life and legacy of Rabbi Zvi Kogan HY"D as a source of inspiration. While acknowledging the pain and darkness, we explore the Jewish response: to transform sorrow into an unstoppable commitment to goodness, light, and purpose. Drawing from the teachings of the Rebbe and our Patriarchs' connection to wells, we learn that even in the depths of despair, the hidden springs of resilience and holiness can be uncovered to nourish a world in desperate need of light.

Key Takeaways

The Power of Purpose
Rabbi Zvi Kogan lived a life filled with purpose, building a vibrant Jewish community. His legacy teaches us that purpose gives life meaning, even in the face of adversity.
Transforming Pain into Action
The Jewish response to tragedy is not paralysis but action. Every mitzvah we do brings Divine compassion into the world and counters the darkness of fear and hatred.
The Symbolism of Wells
Our forefathers' wells symbolize the discovery of hidden strength and inspiration amidst struggle. Just as spring water emerges pure and life-giving from beneath the earth, so too does our greatest light often emerge from our deepest struggles.
Small Acts, Big Impact
Simple, consistent actions—lighting Shabbat candles, giving tzedakah, or teaching children—create ripples of light and holiness that transform the world.
Carrying the Legacy
Rabbi Kogan’s legacy challenges us to be lamplighters, bringing light to the darkest places through courage, faith, and consistent acts of goodness.
Faith in Justice
The phrase HY”D, “May G-d avenge their blood,” reaffirms our faith in G-d's ultimate justice, rejecting chaos and vengeance while affirming our role as bearers of moral clarity.

Strangers and Inhabitants: Embracing Our Dual Identity as Jews

22 november 2024 | 21 min

Send us a text

This week’s Torah portion illuminates a profound truth about Jewish identity: we are both "inhabitants" and "strangers" in the world. Through Abraham’s insistence on purchasing the Machpelah cave for Sarah’s burial, and Isaac’s search for spirituality in his wife, we learn how to navigate our dual role. While we integrate into society, contributing as full participants, we remain distinct, rooted in a unique spiritual mission. This duality—belonging yet separate—challenges us to honor our faith while thriving in the broader world.

Key Takeaways:

Dual Identity: Jews are both "inhabitants," fully engaged in the world, and "strangers," set apart by a unique spiritual mission. Balancing these roles is the essence of Jewish life.
Spiritual Separation: Abraham’s purchase of a separate burial plot demonstrates the need for distinct spaces and practices that honor our spiritual values.
Qualities That Transcend: Isaac sought both kindness and a relationship with G-d in Rebecca, teaching us that external good deeds must be paired with inner spirituality.
Reclaiming "Stranger" Status: While our ancestors worked hard to integrate, we must reclaim our spiritual distinctiveness and ensure it thrives in our families and communities.
A Higher Calling: As Jews, we live by a different set of values, holidays, and traditions. This uniqueness is not only our responsibility but also our strength.

The Eternal Bond: Lessons in Love from the Cave of Machpelah | Parshat Chayei Sara

21 november 2024 | 24 min

Send us a text

This week’s Torah portion recounts Abraham’s purchase of the Cave of Machpelah as a burial site for Sarah, a moment steeped in profound symbolism. Juxtaposed with Isaac and Rebecca's love story, the Torah reveals an eternal truth about relationships: true love is not confined to what is seen above the surface. It is rooted in a deeper, timeless connection that exists "beneath the ground." From the bond between husband and wife to the eternal relationship between humanity and G-d, the portion teaches us to view relationships not just as contracts but as reunions of souls.

Key Takeaways:

Two Layers of Relationships: Relationships have a conscious, emotional dimension (above ground) and an intrinsic, soul-level connection (beneath the ground). Both are vital but serve different roles in sustaining love.
Eternal Connection: The Torah's comparison between marriage and Abraham’s purchase of a burial cave highlights the enduring nature of a soul connection. A true relationship is not severed by life's challenges—or even by death.
Marriage as Reunion: A Jewish marriage reflects the reunification of two halves of one soul, a bond that transcends conscious feelings and persists through trials.
Divine Parallel: Our relationship with G-d mirrors marriage. Even during times of spiritual disconnection, our inherent bond with the Divine remains unbroken, waiting to be rekindled.
A Model for Life: Abraham’s treatment of Sarah after her passing and Isaac and Rebecca's enduring marriage remind us that loyalty and trust stem from recognizing the deeper, eternal bond in every relationship.

Holiness in the Ordinary: How Abraham's Hospitality Transformed the Spiritual | Rabbi Bernath's Sermon for Parshat Vayeira

14 november 2024 | 17 min

Send us a text

This week's Torah portion, Vayeira, captures the surprising encounter between Abraham and three angelic visitors. Expecting divine revelations, the angels instead find Abraham busy with hospitality — preparing food, fetching water, and overseeing their comfort. They question, “Where is Sarah your wife?” seeking a glimpse of the true tzaddik, only to find that her holiness, too, is concealed within the humble details of life. Through Abraham's actions, the angels learn that genuine holiness is not in escaping earthly concerns, but in bringing light to them. Abraham demonstrates that true spirituality is about bringing heaven into the everyday, a mission passed down through his descendants.

Key Takeaways:

Spiritual Greatness in the Mundane: Abraham’s greatness is revealed not in miraculous acts but in his devoted, everyday service to others, emphasizing that holiness is found within the ordinary moments.
The Tzaddik’s Mission: Abraham’s role as a tzaddik teaches us that spiritual leaders embody selflessness, focusing on the needs of others as a path to divine connection.
True Hospitality as Divine Work: By hosting the angels, Abraham exemplifies how simple acts of kindness can elevate humanity above even angelic beings.
Bringing Heaven Down to Earth: The narrative illustrates that our purpose is not to transcend the physical but to infuse it with sacredness, creating a “home for G-d” here on earth.
Holiness Concealed and Revealed: Abraham and Sarah’s roles demonstrate that true spiritual power may often be hidden, discovered in moments of kindness and commitment, rather than in overt displays of sanctity.

Abraham, the Palace in Flames, and Judaism’s Call to Action

7 november 2024 | 21 min

Send us a text

This week, Rabbi Bernath's sermon delves into the profound moment in this week's Torah portion when G-d calls Abraham to leave everything familiar and embark on a journey that would define not only his own life but the life of humanity. The Midrash’s metaphor of a palace in flames becomes the key image for Abraham's—and ultimately all of Judaism's—mission. Abraham's journey begins with a cry to G-d, asking why a beautiful world, brimming with order and wonder, is engulfed in suffering and strife. G-d’s response, “I am the ruler of the palace,” calls Abraham, and all of us, to act as His partners in repairing the world. Through G-d’s implicit challenge, Abraham learned—and taught—the lesson at the heart of Judaism: that we are tasked with extinguishing the flames of injustice and bringing G-d’s presence into our world.

Takeaways:

1. Humanity's Responsibility: Judaism teaches that we are responsible for the world, called upon to combat injustice and protect life, not simply to observe the beauty or lament the flames.

2. The Power of Moral Courage: True goodness demands moral courage, the bravery to condemn evil unequivocally and protect the innocent. Abraham’s journey ignites the mission of Judaism: to oppose wrongdoing without compromise.

3. Rejecting Passivity: The Midrash urges us to reject passivity in the face of evil. Like Abraham, we are called to ask tough questions of ourselves and society and to lead by example, striving toward a world of compassion and righteousness.

4. Redefining Leadership and Society: In choosing leaders and guiding our own lives, we must seek those who recognize the importance of standing up against those who “set fire to the palace,” those willing to uphold justice and moral clarity.

5. Partnership with G-d: The true beginning of the Jewish faith is the realization that we are G-d’s partners in creation, called to infuse holiness into the world by actively pursuing justice, kindness, and integrity.

The ‘Even If’ Principle: A New Approach to Life | Rabbi Bernath’s Neilah Sermon 5785 - 2024

13 oktober 2024 | 31 min

Send us a text

As the gates of Yom Kippur draw to a close, Rabbi Bernath calls us to embrace the profound and unwavering strength of the “Even If” mindset—a faith, love, and joy that endure beyond ideal conditions. Drawing on the story of Chananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, who faced the Babylonian furnace with unyielding courage, Rabbi Bernath parallels this with modern-day heroes who embody this same resilient spirit. Through stories of extraordinary bravery, he challenges us to live a life defined not by the conditional “If,” but by a steadfast “Even If”—an approach that can transform our relationships, our happiness, and our spiritual commitments as we enter the new year.

Key Takeaways:

Faith Beyond Conditions:
Chananiah, Mishael, and Azariah exemplify an “Even If” faith that does not depend on favorable outcomes. We are called to cultivate a similarly unshakeable commitment to our values, regardless of life’s challenges.
Modern Heroes of “Even If”:
The recent heroes of Israel, like Oz Davidian, displayed an extraordinary resolve, acting courageously even when circumstances seemed impossible. Their stories inspire us to consider what kind of faith we hold in the face of adversity.
The ‘If’ vs. ‘Even If’ Mindset:
The conditional “If” mindset limits us, while the “Even If” mindset liberates us to embrace life’s imperfections and challenges with resilience. Whether in our relationships, faith, or personal happiness, “Even If” invites us to live fully and meaningfully.
Applying ‘Even If’ to Mitzvot and Life:
Rabbi Bernath encourages each of us to commit to a new mitzvah, not when it’s convenient, but even if it seems difficult. By taking on mitzvot and acts of kindness with an “Even If” spirit, we forge a deeper connection to G-d and our community.
A Call to Wake Up Even More:
Just as Yom Kippur is a time of awakening, Rabbi Bernath invites us to go further, to “wake up even more.” As we enter the new year, this heightened awareness will help us transform not only our lives but also the world around us.

From Division to Unity: A New Generation of Hope | Rabbi Yisroel Bernath’s Kol Nidrei Sermon 5785-2024

11 oktober 2024 | 36 min

Send us a text

This Kol Nidrei sermon reflects on the transformative journey from the days of Golda Meir's tireless efforts to establish the State of Israel to a more personal encounter with Israel’s realities. Rabbi Bernath shares a profound story of unity and resilience—both his own, as a young man in Israel during the Second Intifada, and the collective Jewish response to the recent tragedies of October 7th. The sermon underscores the powerful, unbreakable bond between diaspora Jews and their Israeli brethren. Rabbi Bernath calls upon the Jewish community to seize this moment, to step forward as leaders, and to nurture a shared future rooted in hope, responsibility, and a renewed commitment to Jewish identity. As the torchbearers of today, we must bridge our history with a future of unity, resilience, and optimism.

Key Takeaways:

The Legacy of Leadership and Courage
Golda Meir’s story inspires us to see ourselves as essential actors in the unfolding story of the Jewish people. Her example calls us to step up, embodying her courage and dedication to the survival and flourishing of the Jewish nation.
Personal Connection to Israel
Rabbi Bernath's firsthand experience in Israel highlights the importance of diaspora Jews feeling a personal, intimate bond with Israel—not as distant observers, but as family united by shared experiences, struggles, and purpose.
Rising to the Challenge of a New Era
The tragedies of recent events have fostered a new sense of connection between diaspora Jews and Israelis. Now, more than ever, we are called to action—not only through financial support but through an emotional and spiritual commitment to unity.
A Call to Action for the Jewish Community
Each member of the community has a role to play. We must not remain passive spectators but become active participants in shaping the future of the Jewish people. The sermon urges us to step forward, embrace our Jewish identity, and contribute to a thriving and unified global Jewish community.
Embracing Optimism and Hope for the Future
Despite the darkness we face, our response should be one of hope and joy. Rabbi Bernath calls us to imagine a future filled with resilience, where Jewish unity is our strength, and our communities are places of warmth, vibrancy, and growth.

Signs from Above: A Mezuzah, Unity, and Miracles in the Face of Adversity | Rabbi Bernath’s Sermon for the 2nd Day of Rosh Hashana

8 oktober 2024 | 18 min

Send us a text

In this moving sermon, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath reflects on a difficult year marked by ongoing challenges, uncertainty, and moments that tested the resolve of the Jewish people. He explores how G-d communicates with us in times of crisis, often through unexpected messengers. Rabbi Bernath introduces the story of Patricia Heaton, a Hollywood actress and devoted supporter of Israel, who recently launched a campaign encouraging non-Jews to show solidarity by putting up a mezuzah. This initiative echoes the Mezuzah Campaign launched by the Rebbe decades ago, emphasizing the mezuzah’s power as a source of protection and unity. Rabbi Bernath shares inspiring Talmudic stories and teachings, encouraging his congregation to renew their commitment to this mitzvah, spread its message, and recognize the mezuzah as a tangible link to G-d’s protection.

Key Takeaways:

The Power of the Mezuzah: As a mitzvah given uniquely to the Jewish people, the mezuzah is a spiritual guardian that protects not only individuals but also entire communities. In times of crisis, it’s a reminder of G-d’s presence and protection.
Signs in Unlikely Places: We may not have prophets today, but G-d still sends us messages. Patricia Heaton’s campaign to encourage the mezuzah’s presence in homes worldwide is a powerful reminder of the mezuzah’s value and a call to deepen our own commitment to this mitzvah.
Unity Beyond Borders: The mezuzah campaign reflects the unity that transcends religious and cultural boundaries. Non-Jews joining in support of Israel and displaying the mezuzah symbolizes shared humanity, solidarity, and the need to stand together against rising anti-Semitism.
Responding with Action: Each person can play a role in spreading the mitzvah of mezuzah. Whether adding mezuzahs to their own doors, gifting them to others, or simply raising awareness, every action contributes to a collective spiritual shield.
Miracles in the Modern Day: Just as Artaban in the Talmud discovered the mezuzah’s protection, we too can see miracles when we embrace mitzvot with faith. As challenges arise, the mezuzah reminds us that G-d’s protection is unwavering, even in the darkest of times.

October 7th | We Will Never Forget | Rabbi Bernath’s Sermon for the 1st Day of Rosh Hashana

7 oktober 2024 | 36 min

Send us a text

In this year’s Rosh Hashanah sermon, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath addresses the profound impact of last October’s events, emphasizing the collective trauma and unity that emerged in the Jewish community. He reflects on how this tragedy forced the Jewish people to confront their shared identity and essence. Despite differences in ideology, last year’s adversity brought a glimpse into the unity that binds the Jewish people at their core. Rabbi Bernath urges the community to actively sustain this unity—not just instinctively, but consciously, each day. He shares stories and teachings illustrating the importance of maintaining unity, tapping into our core truths, and reconnecting with our infinite light. Through deliberate effort, we must continue to live by our collective truth and open the doors to unity, strength, and peace for the year ahead.

Key Takeaways:

Unity from Tragedy: October 7th changed the Jewish world forever. The tragedy united Jews worldwide, transcending ideologies and backgrounds, and revealed a deeper connection rooted in our shared essence.
Conscious Effort for Lasting Unity: Rabbi Bernath reminds us that while unity came instinctively after October 7th, it is up to us to maintain it. If unity does not naturally arise, we must "open it ourselves" with our own hands, ensuring it endures as part of our daily lives.
Lessons from the Rebbe: By sharing the story of Eliyahu Amikam and Meir Vilner, Rabbi Bernath emphasizes that every Jew, regardless of outward beliefs, harbors an inner core that connects them to G-d and the Jewish people. This core truth is what binds us and calls us to unity.
Remembering October 7th: Rabbi Bernath stresses the importance of keeping the memory of October 7th fresh, using it as a reminder to continue living with a heightened sense of unity, purpose, and connection to one another and G-d.
Our Responsibility: Like the young man with the tulips, if unity does not manifest naturally, we must take action to bring it forth. It is within our power to foster this connection, and with G-d's help, we can transform pain into strength and division into unity.
A Year of Strength and Peace: In concluding, Rabbi Bernath prays for a year filled with security, peace, and revealed goodness, urging the Jewish people to stand united, channeling their core strength and unity toward collective prosperity and blessing.

The Last Light: Completing the Circle of Shabbat Unity | Honouring 50 years of the Rebbe's Campaign for Women & Girls to Light Shabbat Candles.

27 september 2024 | 11 min

Send us a text

In this inspiring sermon, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath shares a powerful story of two rabbinical students sent on a mission to the remote Aleutian Islands, where they encountered a young Jewish girl and her mother living in isolation. Their discovery reignited the family's connection to Judaism, emphasizing the significance of Shabbat candle lighting. Rabbi Bernath connects this story to the Rebbe’s campaign encouraging young girls to light Shabbat candles, a movement that has illuminated homes worldwide for 50 years. He reminds us that each candle contributes to a global chain of light, with every woman and girl adding her unique spark to complete the circle of Jewish unity. The message is clear: the light of Shabbat candles, no matter how far or near, transforms the world, one flame at a time.

Key Takeaways:

No Jew is Alone: The story illustrates how even in the remotest places, a connection to Jewish identity can be rediscovered.
The Power of One Candle: The act of lighting Shabbat candles holds profound spiritual significance, capable of transforming individuals, families, and communities.
The Rebbe's Shabbat Candle Initiative: Since 1974, the Rebbe's campaign has empowered young girls to light Shabbat candles, ensuring that every home is illuminated with holiness.
Shabbat Candles as Global Unity: Each candle lit across different time zones creates a continuous chain of Jewish light and unity across the world.
Your Unique Light Matters: Every woman and girl’s light is special and necessary to bring G‑d’s presence into the world.

Coronation Night: The Essence of Rosh Hashanah | Rabbi Bernath's Thursday Morning Class

26 september 2024 | 28 min

Send us a text

On the night of Rosh Hashanah, we engage in a cosmic ceremony unlike any other — the coronation of G-d as our King. Drawing inspiration from Rabbi Yosef Dov Soleveitchik’s childhood story in Chaslavitch, we explore the profound depth of Rosh Hashanah, where the humblest among us — the tailor, shoemaker, water-carrier, and painter — all participate in the crowning of G-d. But why does the infinite, omnipotent G-d desire our coronation? Through this act, we come to understand the relationship between human free will and divine sovereignty, and how Rosh Hashanah illuminates the purpose of our existence.

Key Takeaways:
Rosh Hashanah as Coronation: Rosh Hashanah is the "Coronation Night" when each person, regardless of their station, plays a role in crowning G-d as King.
Why G-d Needs Our Coronation: G-d desires a relationship built on choice, not coercion. We are invited to freely declare Him King, forging a personal bond with the Creator.
Human Free Will: Rosh Hashanah embodies the paradox of a limitless G-d who humbles Himself, allowing space for us to choose Him — elevating our smallness into cosmic significance.
The Power of the Simple Jew: It is not the scholars or kings alone who coronate G-d; it’s the everyday Jew, demonstrating that each of us holds a divine role and responsibility.
Our Unique Role: The vulnerability of G-d in desiring our choice speaks to the magnitude of human existence — we hold the power to invite G-d into our lives and crown Him King over creation.

Elul: The Divine Dance of Love and Unity | A Special Kabbalah Class

19 september 2024 | 26 min

Send us a text

The month of Elul is a time of deep introspection and renewal in love and relationships, aligning with the theme of "Ani l'dodi v'dodi li" – "I am to my beloved, and my beloved is to me." This sermon explores the mystical dimensions of Elul, emphasizing how true love and unity are possible without compromising individuality. By understanding the Kabbalistic concepts of Divine light and vessels, we learn how love in human relationships mirrors the unity between the finite and the infinite. As we honor Jenna and Shmuel’s upcoming wedding, we delve into the profound lesson of how two distinct souls can join together seamlessly, embodying the essence of Elul’s energy.

Key Takeaways:
Elul's Unique Energy: Elul, the month of Virgo, carries the energy of love and relationships. It invites us to reflect on the mutual symbiosis between two individuals, just as it symbolizes our relationship with the Divine.
Ani L'dodi V'dodi Li: This phrase from Song of Songs encapsulates the essence of love—a dynamic where each person reflects the other. Love grows in proportion to the love we give, mirroring how we relate to the Divine.
Love as an Initiative: True love requires proactive effort. We must take the initiative in relationships rather than waiting for love to come to us. This active approach leads to deeper, reciprocated connections.
Unity Without Compromise: Kabbalah teaches that unity between distinct entities, like the union between a couple or between humanity and the Divine, is possible without losing individuality. The interplay of light and vessel shows how finite beings can merge with the infinite while maintaining their unique identity.
Reflection in Relationships: The union of "I" and "my beloved" reflects the cosmic unity, demonstrating how individual souls can unite harmoniously. This union is celebrated in marriage, where two people become one while still retaining their personal essence.

Finding Light in Darkness: Sappir Cohen’s 55 Days held Hostage in Gaza and the Power of Psalm 27

15 september 2024 | 25 min

Send us a text

In the summer of 2023, Sappir Cohen, a young woman from Ramat Gan, felt an overwhelming sense of foreboding. Despite countless visits to doctors, she found no explanation for her anxiety. In desperation, she turned to prayer, reciting Psalm 27 daily. Months later, she was abducted by terrorists during the October 7th attacks in Israel. Miraculously, her prayer became her source of strength and resilience throughout her 55-day captivity in Gaza. Her experience serves as a reminder of the power of trust in G-d, especially during times of fear and uncertainty. The Psalm she recited isn’t just for her—it is for all of us, as we too are hostages, seeking to break free from the shackles of our material world and reconnect with the Divine.

Takeaways:
Power of Prayer: Psalm 27 gave Sappir the courage and hope she needed in unimaginable circumstances. Our prayers can uplift us in our darkest moments.
Unity and Strength: Even in the midst of her captivity, Sappir’s story demonstrates how the unity of the Jewish people is a source of strength, as recognized by her captors.
Spiritual Hostages: We are all, in a way, hostages in this material world. Our soul’s yearning for G-d is fulfilled through mitzvot and spiritual growth.
Overcoming the Yetzer Hara: The battle against our inner enemies—the distractions of material life—is constant. Trust in G-d and spiritual resilience can help us overcome it.
Hope in G-d: The message of Psalm 27 encourages us to maintain unwavering faith, knowing that G-d will guide and protect us in times of need.

How Can He Be So Insensitive? The Misunderstanding That Reveals the Power of Prayer | A Pre-Rosh Hashanah Sermon with Rabbi Yisroel Bernath

12 september 2024 | 23 min

Send us a text

In this sermon, the story of Chanah from the Haftarah on Rosh Hashanah serves as a powerful lesson about the depth of human emotions and the nature of prayer. Chanah, who is childless, pours her heart out to G-d in silent prayer, but Eli, the High Priest, mistakenly perceives her as being drunk. This seemingly insensitive misjudgment turns into a profound revelation about the coexistence of pain and serenity, and the spiritual intimacy that comes from genuine prayer. By exploring Chanah’s response and comparing it with a story from the Holocaust, we learn the essence of pouring out our souls before G-d, no matter the circumstances.

Key Takeaways:

Prayer as Connection: Chanah teaches us that prayer is about pouring out our hearts directly to G-d, beyond formalities, in intimate conversation.

Misunderstood Devotion: Eli's assumption reminds us that the deepest expressions of faith can sometimes be misread, even by spiritual leaders.

The Coexistence of Emotions: Chanah’s ability to carry both profound grief and inner peace exemplifies the complexity of the human soul when connected to G-d.

Focus on the Positive: The story of Simon Wiesenthal and Rabbi Silver highlights the choice to see the devotion of those who sacrifice, rather than the flaws of the few.

The topic of Jerusalem’s ownership often stirs debate, particularly in the context of peace in the Middle East. While the Hebrew Bible mentions Jerusalem extensively, the Torah itself does not explicitly name the city. Instead, it alludes to it as "the place that the L-rd will choose." This omission raises questions about why the Torah does not directly name Jerusalem, despite its profound significance to the Jewish people. Various explanations from Maimonides and the Rebbe offer insights, suggesting that the omission serves to protect the city from conflict and to encourage a deeper, more personal connection to the sacredness of Jerusalem. Ultimately, the true essence of Jerusalem is revealed through the mitzvot performed wherever Jews are, transforming every place into a spiritual sanctuary in anticipation of the coming of the Third Temple.

Takeaways:

Jerusalem's Omission: The Torah does not explicitly name Jerusalem, although it is hinted at through phrases like "the place that the L-rd will choose."
Historical Context: The city’s holy status was recognized from early Biblical times, yet its explicit mention is absent in the Torah to prevent potential conflicts.
Maimonides' Insights: Jerusalem's omission could prevent conflict among nations and within the Jewish tribes themselves.
Spiritual Connection: The Rebbe and Baal Shem Tov teach that every place where Jews practice mitzvot can become a spiritual Jerusalem, reflecting the city’s deeper, universal significance.
Preparation for Redemption: By transforming our current locations into spiritual sanctuaries, we prepare ourselves and the world for the eventual coming of the Third Temple in Jerusalem.

The 5-Step Program of Spiritual Courtship, Engagement, Marriage, Honeymoon, and Real Life: Discovering the Divine Romance in Our Lives

In this sermon, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores the deep and mystical relationship between G-d and the Jewish people, likened to a sacred marriage. Drawing from Kabbalistic and Chassidic teachings, Rabbi Bernath delves into the spiritual phases of this divine union, paralleling it with the milestones of human relationships: courtship, engagement, marriage, honeymoon, and the day-to-day reality of married life. Through the lens of the High Holiday season, this episode offers a journey of rejuvenating our connection with G-d, culminating in the ultimate intimacy that shapes our everyday existence.

Courtship with G-d: The month of Elul as a time of divine dating, where G-d meets us in our natural state, inviting us to connect authentically.
Engagement Proposal: Rosh Hashanah as the moment of commitment, where G-d proposes a deeper relationship, and we respond with the cry of the Shofar.
Marriage Ceremony: Yom Kippur as the day of divine union, where we fast, atone, and solidify our eternal bond with G-d.
Celebration and Intimacy: The festivals of Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret, and Simchat Torah as the celebration and intimate consummation of our relationship with the Divine.
Real-Life Relationship: The month of Cheshvan as the time to nurture our ongoing relationship with G-d in the everyday moments, discovering the sacred in the ordinary.

What is Love Really?

19 augusti 2024 | 29 min

Send us a text

"What is Love?" Love is redefined beyond the conventional understanding of a mere emotion or a passive state of being. We emphasized that love is an obligation and a directive, as illustrated in Leviticus 19:18, which commands to "love your fellow as yourself." This idea suggests that love is not just a spontaneous feeling but an active choice and action. Before one can extend love to others, it's crucial to first develop a sense of love for oneself. This foundational self-love sets the stage for meaningful and authentic relationships with others.

We further explored the idea that the essence of love is deeply rooted in the act of giving. It posits that love begins with giving and grows through consistent, thoughtful acts of kindness and generosity. This concept challenges the popular notion of love as a feeling that happens to us, suggesting instead that love is something we actively create through our actions. The more we give, the deeper our capacity for love becomes. This principle is encapsulated in the phrase, "First comes giving, then comes love," highlighting the transformative power of giving in cultivating and sustaining love. The chapter concludes by asserting that love is not just about feelings but about the deliberate and ongoing practice of giving, which ultimately shapes and strengthens our relationships.

The True Cause of Jerusalem’s Downfall: Lessons from History for Today | Rabbi Bernath's Weekly Sermon

7 augusti 2024 | 19 min

Send us a text

In this sermon, we delve into the real reasons behind the destruction of the Second Temple, as highlighted in the newly released animated movie "Agadat Churban—Legend of Destruction." The movie underscores how internal strife and division among the Jewish people, rather than the might of the Roman Empire, led to Jerusalem’s downfall. By reflecting on the historical infighting and its consequences, we draw essential lessons on unity and the importance of fostering unconditional love within our communities to pave the way for rebuilding the Temple and achieving lasting peace.

Takeaways

Internal Conflict Led to Destruction: The primary cause of Jerusalem’s downfall was the internal strife and civil war among the Jewish people, which weakened their defense against the Romans.
Importance of Unity: The historical lesson emphasizes the need for unity and collaboration among Jewish factions to avoid repeating past mistakes.
Senseless Hatred vs. Senseless Love: The destruction of the Temple was attributed to senseless hatred. The antidote, as taught by our sages and reiterated by the Rebbe, is senseless love—unconditional love and support for every Jew, regardless of differences.
Spiritual Preparation for Rebuilding the Temple: The path to rebuilding the Temple lies in self-improvement and fostering peace within the Jewish community, rather than focusing solely on physical or technical preparations.
Devarim’s Insight on Rest and Inheritance: The book of Devarim highlights the difference between “rest” (Shiloh) and “inheritance” (Jerusalem), suggesting that true divine presence and peace can only be achieved through harmony among the Jewish people.

Courage, Honor, and Divine Justice: Rabbi Bernath's Weekly Sermon & Lessons from his recent trip to Israel.

18 juli 2024 | 21 min

Send us a text

In this sermon, Rabbi Bernath reflects on the tragic yet inspiring story of IDF soldier Yisrael Yudkin, who fell in Gaza during “Operation Iron Swords.” Despite the family's heartbreaking loss, their steadfast determination to honor their son with the traditional Jewish inscription "hy"d" (Hashem yikom damo - May G-d avenge his blood) on his headstone led to a significant change in military cemetery regulations.

Rabbi Bernath draws parallels between the Yudkin family's struggle, Moses's hidden fears before confronting Og, and the fearless leadership of the Previous Rebbe under Soviet oppression. These stories underscore the power of unwavering faith, the importance of honoring the fallen, and the necessity of leading with courage and resolve.

Takeaways:

Steadfast Honor: The Yudkin family’s refusal to compromise on their son’s headstone inscription teaches the importance of honouring the deceased according to cherished traditions, even in the face of bureaucratic obstacles.
Faith in Divine Justice: The phrase "Hashem yikom damo" (May G-d avenge his blood) is a profound declaration of faith, entrusting divine justice to uphold the sanctity of life and the Jewish people.
Hidden Strength: Moses's silent fear and G-d’s reassurance highlight the significance of inner strength and the understanding that leadership often requires concealing personal fears to bolster communal confidence.
Fearless Leadership: The Previous Rebbe’s fearless demeanour in the face of Soviet persecution exemplifies the power of resolute faith and the impact of leading without showing fear, inspiring followers to remain steadfast in their mission.
Collective Responsibility: Both the Yudkin family’s public campaign and the Previous Rebbe’s underground efforts demonstrate the collective responsibility to uphold and fight for religious and cultural values, ensuring their preservation for future generations.
Divine Mission: When pursuing G-d’s mission, whether in spreading Judaism or upholding justice for the fallen, one must act with unwavering certainty and strength, trusting in divine support for ultimate success

The sermon calls upon the community to draw inspiration from these stories, urging them to lead with courage, honor the past, and remain steadfast in their faith, trusting that G-d’s justice and support will prevail. Good Shabbos.

5 juli 2024 | 38 min

Send us a text

In this sermon, Rabbi Bernath delves into the story of Korach's rebellion, exploring it as a profound lesson in leadership and faith. The narrative begins with the disastrous report of the spies and follows with three distinct rebellions: the Maapilim, the wood chopper, and Korach. These mutinies represent various reactions to the Israelites' harsh reality of wandering in the desert. Rabbi Bernath draws parallels between these ancient revolts and modern Jewish history, offering insights into how we can find true redemption and unity by embracing our Jewish identity and faith.

Key Takeaways

Leadership and Faith: The failure of the spies underscores the importance of steadfast leadership and unwavering faith in Divine guidance.
Three Reactions to Crisis: The rebellions of the Maapilim, the wood chopper, and Korach highlight different ways people react to crises and challenges, each offering a lesson on the pitfalls of abandoning faith and unity.
Modern Parallels: Historical and contemporary Jewish responses to prolonged exile and suffering reflect the ancient rebellions, emphasizing the need to maintain a strong Jewish identity.
Rebbe's Teachings: The Lubavitcher Rebbe's insights on Jewish unity and identity provide a framework for overcoming spiritual crises and achieving true redemption.
Ultimate Redemption: The sermon calls for a deeper yearning for Moshiach and the ultimate fulfillment of the Divine purpose, beyond superficial achievements and temporary relief.

Send us a text

In this sermon, Rabbi Bernath delves into the lesser-known story of the Maapilim, a group of Israelites who, against G-d's decree, attempted to enter the Promised Land after repenting for their initial refusal. Despite their newfound determination, their efforts were met with failure.

Takeaways:

Repentance and Timing: True repentance must align with G-d’s will and timing. The Maapilim’s attempt was sincere but mistimed.
Unity in Action: Spiritual success requires collective effort. Individual zeal must be matched by communal support and readiness.
Perseverance in Teshuvah: The story of Elisha Ben Avuya teaches that one must persist in repentance, even when it seems G-d has closed the door.

6 juni 2024 | 23 min

Send us a text

In this thought-provoking class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath delves into the profound questions surrounding belief in a higher power and the relevance of divine concern in our daily lives. With a focus on the Jewish perspective, Rabbi Bernath explores the increasing trend of young people believing in a higher power despite their disinterest in organized religion. He tackles essential questions: Does the Creator truly care about our actions? Is it possible to communicate with the infinite? Drawing on the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, Rabbi Bernath illustrates how this monumental event established a direct line of connection between G-d and humanity, highlighting the significance of the commandments and the opportunity for a profound relationship with the Divine.

Key Takeaways:

Giving of the Torah: The event at Mount Sinai demonstrates G-d's care and communication with humanity, establishing a direct connection through the commandments.
Significance of Modesty: The second giving of the Tablets, done discreetly, teaches the value of modesty and the profound nature of private acts of faith.
Joyous Celebration: The giving of the Torah was a grand event to signify its importance and arouse a sense of celebration among the Jewish people.

Keywords: G-d, Higher Power, Faith, Judaism, Divine Concern, Torah, Mount Sinai, Commandments, Young People, Belief, Organized Religion, Connection, Communication, Modesty, Celebration.

Two Tablets and Moral Juxtaposition | Rabbi Bernath's Thursday Morning Class

30 maj 2024 | 27 min

Send us a text

This class delves into the profound historical and moral parallels between two of the most destructive ideologies: Nazism and radical Islamism, exemplified by Hamas. The discussion centres around the significance of the Ten Commandments, particularly the first commandment ("I am the Lord your G-d") and the sixth commandment ("You shall not murder"), and how these commandments are engraved on two separate tablets.

The episode highlights how these commandments should be read both vertically and horizontally, emphasizing the inseparability of faith in G-d and the prohibition against murder. The podcast also explores how different historical and ideological movements have attempted to separate these two commandments, leading to catastrophic moral failures.

Key Takeaways:

Two Tablets and Moral Juxtaposition:
- The Ten Commandments were engraved on two tablets to be read in two directions, linking faith in G-d with moral imperatives.
- The vertical reading connects each commandment to its respective place, while the horizontal reading juxtaposes the importance of belief in G-d with the sanctity of human life.
Failures of Enlightenment and Religious Extremism:
- Enlightenment philosophers believed that moral behavior could be sustained without religious faith, but the Holocaust demonstrated the failure of this belief.
- Conversely, religious extremism, as seen in Islamist terrorism, divorces the commandment "You shall not murder" from the belief in G-d, leading to atrocities committed in the name of faith.
Historical Context and Moral Lessons:
- The Nazi regime, despite its cultural and scientific advancements, perpetrated the Holocaust, showing the dangers of morality devoid of G-d. Radical Islamist groups, including Hamas, commit heinous acts while claiming religious justification, undermining the true essence of faith.
The Role of Faith in Ensuring Morality:
- True faith in G-d includes the recognition of the sanctity of every human life.
- A society that abandons either the belief in G-d or the prohibition against murder can devolve into monstrosity.
Contemporary Relevance:
- The ongoing threat of Islamist terrorism, as exemplified by Hamas, reflects the same dangerous separation of divine faith and moral action.
- Upholding both divine commandments is essential for a just and humane society.

Reflecting on the intertwined nature of faith and morality as presented in the Ten Commandments can guide us in creating a world where human life is valued and respected. The juxtaposition of "I am the Lord your G-d" and "You shall not murder" serves as a timeless reminder of the need to ground our ethical principles in a higher, divine truth.

Unlocking Emotional Depth: Exploring Love and Growth Through Kabbalah with Rabbi Yisroel Bernath

9 maj 2024 | 32 min

Send us a text

In this class Rabbi Yisroel Bernath into the Kabbalistic perspective on emotional growth, focusing specifically on the emotion of love during a special omer period of introspection. Rabbi Bernath explains that contrary to common belief, emotional growth continues throughout one’s life. Love, being essential for both giving and receiving, acts as a foundation for all human interactions and transcends the mere act of feeling. The discussion highlights the complexity of love, showing that it involves multiple aspects such as discipline, compassion, endurance, humility, bonding, and sovereignty, each of which must be balanced to foster healthy relationships and emotional well-being.

Key Takeaways

Emotional Examination: The importance of examining one's emotions to achieve emotional freedom and health. This process involves questioning and analyzing one's emotional tendencies and balances.
The Complexity of Love: Love is multifaceted, requiring not just the capacity to love others but also discipline to modulate this love, compassion to understand others, endurance to maintain love over time, humility to yield and bond, and sovereignty that respects both parties' dignity.
Emotional Growth as a Lifelong Process: Emotional maturity is not static and continues to develop throughout life, unlike the often static perception of intellectual or financial growth.
Sevenfold Approach to Each Emotion: In Kabbalah, each emotion is explored through seven subcategories, adding depth to understanding and managing these emotions effectively.

The Living Memory of Passover: Insights for your Seder Table with Rabbi Yisroel Bernath

18 april 2024 | 30 min

Send us a text

Welcome to our special Passover episode, where we explore the profound layers of the Passover Seder, a ceremony that beautifully encapsulates over three millennia of Jewish history and identity. In this episode, we discuss the fifteen steps of the Seder, from Kiddush to the festive meal, and delve into the powerful narratives and symbols that connect us to our ancestors.

We share a humorous yet insightful exchange between a rabbi and an astrophysics professor, which cleverly illustrates the depth of Talmudic study compared to the simplification of complex ideas. The conversation highlights how Jewish traditions and teachings are much more than historical records; they are vibrant memories passed down through generations, forming a continuous link back to the Exodus from Egypt.

We reflect on how the presence of multiple generations at the Seder table turns these historical events into a vivid collective memory, extending back hundreds of years and forward into future gatherings. This episode also touches on the intriguing absence of certain words in Biblical Hebrew, such as "history," which is replaced with "memory" — a concept deeply ingrained in Jewish culture.

Join us as we discuss how the Passover Seder transcends mere historical recounting, acting instead as a dynamic memory that engages with the past as a living part of our present and future. We conclude with a powerful message on transforming pain into blessing, inspired by the life of Henrietta Szold, who turned personal hardship into a legacy of love and humanitarianism.

Main Takeaways:

The Seder as a Link Across Time: The Passover Seder is not just a ritual but a bridge connecting 3,300 years of Jewish history through family stories and traditions passed down through generations.
Memory Over History: The episode explores why the Hebrew language prefers the term "memory" over "history," emphasizing personal and collective identity formation through remembered experiences rather than impersonal historical events.
Cultural Insights: A look at how the absence of certain words in Hebrew, like "history" and "civility," reflects deeper cultural values, with "memory" (zachor) and "chutzpah" taking prominent roles.
Humor and Wisdom: The interaction between the rabbi and the professor serves as a metaphor for the depth and complexity of Jewish teachings and the importance of continual learning and interpretation.
Transforming Pain into Blessing: Inspired by Henrietta Szold's story, the episode underscores a fundamental Jewish principle of using personal and historical suffering as a springboard for empathy, community service, and positive action.

Fire, Ice, and the Narcissist King: A Lesson in Humility and Empathy

4 april 2024 | 32 min

Send us a text

In the story of the seventh plague, hail, Pharaoh finally admits he was wrong after seeing hail mixed with fire from the sky—a strange and powerful miracle. This moment shows us that even someone as stubborn and self-centered as Pharaoh can have a moment of realization. The mix of fire and ice in the hail represents Pharaoh's personality: cold and unfeeling towards others but fiery and passionate about his own needs.

The reason the plague was hail is significant too. Egypt didn't depend on rain because of the Nile River, so they never looked up and depended on something higher than themselves. This is like Pharaoh's narcissism, where he only depended on himself and never considered a higher power or the needs of others.

However, Pharaoh's realization was short-lived, teaching us that overcoming deep-seated selfishness requires more than just a moment of clarity. It needs a fundamental change in how one views themselves and their place in the world.

Takeaways:

Self-reflection is crucial: Even the most stubborn person can have moments of clarity. It's important to reflect on our actions and consider their impact on others.
Empathy over ego: The story teaches the importance of caring for others, not just ourselves. Being aware of others' feelings and needs helps us grow as individuals.
The role of humility: Recognizing a higher power or something greater than ourselves can help combat selfishness. It's a reminder that we're not the center of the universe.
Change takes time: True change in character and perspective is not instantaneous; it requires continuous effort and humility.

By learning from Pharaoh's mistake, we're reminded to stay empathetic, humble, and open to change, ensuring we don't fall into the trap of self-obsession.

Acts of Love: From Question to Action with Rabbi Yisroel Bernath

28 mars 2024 | 16 min

Send us a text

This episode dances around the age-old question, "What is Love?", the exploration begins with a universal quandary: the reason we question love's essence often stems from feelings of deficiency—either doubting the love from someone special or facing accusations of insufficient love ourselves. It suggests a poignant truth: we are most inclined to philosophize about love when its presence is questioned or feels lacking, much like no one questions the nature of a pastrami sandwich whilst enjoying one.

The narrative then divides the quest into two lanes: "Am I Loved?" and "Do I Love?", indicating that understanding love's impact on us can illuminate how we express love towards others. Love, as presented, is not an elusive sentiment detected by a mysterious heart's sensor but rather a series of tangible experiences perceived through our senses, validated by actions and expressions that signal to our brains and, consequently, to our hearts, the presence of love.

King Solomon's words in Proverbs "As water reflects a man’s face back to him, so is the heart of one man to another" is invoked to underscore that love, at its core, is a reflection, a reciprocal action that one can feel and recognize through the treatment they receive.

The episode emphasizes that love is fundamentally an action. It shifts the narrative from abstract conceptualization to practical expression, illustrating that love, akin to running or swimming, is defined by its enactment. The Hebrew word for love, "ahavah", rooted in the act of giving, encapsulates this ideology, positing that genuine love must manifest through tangible acts of kindness and care.

The discussion culminates with a divine perspective on love, referencing the commandment to love G-d, not as an emotional imposition but as a directive towards actionable love. This divine instruction echoes the broader theme: love is verified and validated through actions rather than mere feelings or declarations.

Takeaways:

Love as Reflection and Recognition: We seek the essence of love most acutely when its presence is in doubt. True love, however, is recognized through the actions and treatment we receive and give.
Love is Action, Not Just Emotion: The essence of love is captured not in abstract contemplation but in concrete actions and behaviors that convey care and affection.
The Divine Instruction on Love: The command to love God highlights the action-oriented nature of love, pushing us towards deeds of kindness as the true measure of love.

In essence, to question "What is Love?" is to embark on a journey from doubt to action, from introspection to expression, leading us to understand that the truest answer lies in how we act and respond to love in our lives. Love, therefore, is not just a state of being but a series of deliberate, loving actions that reflect our deepest commitments to others.

Send us a text

The Setting: After the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, the Jewish people are subjects under King Ahasuerus of Persia. The story begins with the king throwing a grand party, during which Queen Vashti is banished for her refusal to display her beauty to the guests.
Esther's Rise to Queen: Seeking a new queen, Ahasuerus holds a beauty contest. Esther, a Jewish girl raised by her cousin Mordechai, is chosen despite her reluctance and without revealing her Jewish identity.
Mordechai's Discovery: Mordechai uncovers a plot to assassinate the king and reports it, saving Ahasuerus's life.
Haman's Plot: Haman, the prime minister and a Jew-hater, becomes infuriated with Mordechai's refusal to bow to him. He convinces the king to issue a decree to annihilate all Jews on the 13th of Adar.
Esther's Courage: Upon learning of Haman's decree, Mordechai convinces Esther to intervene. Esther bravely approaches the king, revealing her Jewish identity and exposing Haman's plot.
The Turn of Events: The king orders Haman's execution on the gallows originally intended for Mordechai. Esther and Mordechai then write a new decree allowing Jews to defend themselves.
Victory and Celebration: The Jews defeat their enemies across the empire, and the day of their victory, the 14th of Adar, is established as the joyous holiday of Purim, celebrating the miraculous turn of events that saved them.

Silencing Inner Pharaohs: The Power of Untranslated Truths | Rabbi Bernath's Thursday Morning Class

7 mars 2024 | 25 min

Send us a text

Navigating the choppy waters of our inner Nile, where the Pharaoh of Negative Thought reigns supreme, Rabbi Bernath offers a sage map for the modern soul's Exodus. Picture this: an inner Pharaoh, all ego and no ear, refusing the logic we offer as liberally as matzah at Pesach. It's an ancient tale, yet as current as our latest tweet.

Enter Moshe, our timeless hero, speaking Hebrew to a Pharaoh who's as lost in translation as a tourist without Google Maps. The catch? It's not about the words, but the Divine energy they carry, slicing through stubbornness like a hot knife through butter.

Consider the Chafetz Chaim, whose Yiddish plea melted Polish hearts without a single word understood—a testament to the soul's language, transcending the babble of Babel.

Then there's the 7/38/55 rule, a reminder that our vibes speak louder than our vocabulary. The body's ballet and the tone's tune tell tales our tongues can't touch.

So when faced with our own Pharaoh—be it doubt, fear, or the Sunday Scaries—Rabbi Bernath advises a strategy as bold as it is biblical: Speak in your soul's native tongue. No translation needed. For it's not the clarity of argument, but the purity of our Divine essence, that can topple tyranny within.

In essence, Rabbi Bernath suggests, when logic's light dims and reason's ropes fray, it's time to unfurl the banner of our inherent holiness, declaring our truths in a language beyond words. Like Moshe, we stand before our inner Pharaoh not to debate, but to demonstrate—a conduit of Divine will, unyielding and unfiltered.

In doing so, we don't just speak to our shadows; we illuminate them, transforming the inner Egypt into a land flowing with milk, honey, and the sweet freedom of self-mastery. So let's raise our staffs, part our personal Red Seas, and march towards a promised land of inner peace and purpose, one holy utterance at a time.

Defiance and Devotion: A Purim Katan Legacy of Fearlessness and Faith | Rabbi Bernath's Sermon for Parshat Tetzaveh

25 februari 2024 | 29 min

Send us a text

In this inspiring episode, we dive into the heart of Purim Katan, a day that mirrors the messages of resilience and faith found in Purim itself, especially during leap years. We'll journey back to 1920, amidst the chaos of the Russian Revolution, to a moment of audacious defiance by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Sholom Ber Schneersohn, during a Purim Farbrengen. Despite the mortal danger presented by the Bolsheviks' intrusion, the Rebbe's fearless proclamation that "Judaism will never die" sets the stage for a story of miraculous survival and unwavering courage.

We follow the legacy of bravery through to his son, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak, during a similarly tense Purim Katan Farbrengen in 1927. His open challenge to the Soviets, emphasizing the importance of Jewish education and the spiritual warfare for the souls of Jewish children, showcases a breathtaking level of heroism and dedication to preserving Judaism at all costs.

The narrative reaches a poignant climax with the Rebbe's dramatic arrest and subsequent liberation, a testament to the power of faith, international advocacy, and divine intervention. Fast forward 65 years to 1992, when the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, reiterates the call for self-sacrifice in the name of Judaism, urging not just a readiness to die for one's faith but to live with a sense of urgency and purpose towards spiritual growth and the hastening of the Moshiach.

As we celebrate Purim Katan and reflect on these powerful stories of resilience, defiance, and hope, we are reminded of the legacy left by generations of Rebbes. Their lives and teachings inspire us to live with courage, to fight for what is right, and to dream of a world filled with peace, holiness, and kindness. Join us as we explore these themes and more, drawing lessons from the past that resonate with timeless relevance and urging us forward in our collective journey towards a brighter future.

Dedicated in honour of Samuel & Diego Chiche

Echoes of the Unseen: Finding Meaning in What's Missing | Rabbi Bernath's on Parshat Tetzavah

22 februari 2024 | 19 min

Send us a text

In this week’s Torah portion, Tetzaveh, we embark on a journey of absence that paradoxically illuminates presence, a mystical dance where what is not seen or heard whispers louder than the clamor of what is. Welcome to "Echoes of the Unseen," an episode that delves into the human penchant for fixating on the missing pieces, rather than the mosaic of abundance that surrounds us.

Imagine, if you will, a family in mourning, enveloped by a community's embrace, yet fixated on the one who failed to show. Or a newly engaged couple, showered with well-wishes, yet stewing over a single absent congratulation. It's a peculiar focus, isn't it? Our hearts, like mischievous sprites, skipping over a hundred hellos to sulk over one silent goodbye.

This brings us to the heart of our Torah reading. In a curious twist of fate, or perhaps divine choreography, Moses, our indefatigable leader, finds his name conspicuously absent from this week's parsha, Tetzaveh. A parsha that ironically, speaks of him more than any other, precisely because he is not mentioned. It's as if by omitting his name, the Torah invites us into a deeper engagement, prompting us to ponder, "Where is Moses?"

The Rebbe, drawing on the insight of the Baal HaTurim, connects this to Moses' selfless plea to be erased from the divine narrative should his people not be forgiven. Thus, in a paradoxical act of presence through absence, Moses' name is etched deeper into the fabric of our collective memory.

And so, as we approach Purim, we encounter another divine irony in the Scroll of Esther. Here, G-d's name is nowhere to be found, yet, like the story of Tetzaveh, G-d's presence is palpable in every line, every turn of fate. This hiddenness serves as a mirror to our lives, where divine orchestration often masquerades as coincidence, inviting us to seek the hidden hand that guides us.

Through the lens of David and Jonathan's story, we are reminded of the potency of what is not said, what is not seen. David, the absent guest at Saul's table, becomes the focal point, his empty seat a silent testament to the turmoil and loyalty that defines his and Jonathan's bond.

"Echoes of the Unseen" invites us to consider how absence shapes our perception, how the unseen and unsaid can sometimes speak the loudest. In the missing names and silent spaces, we find a call to presence, an invitation to see beyond the visible, to listen for the whispers of what is not spoken, and in doing so, perhaps understand the divine and human narratives more profoundly.

So, as we navigate the landscapes of loss and love, let us embrace the peculiar focus, for in the spaces between, in the silence and the absence, lies the potential for deeper connection, understanding, and spiritual awakening.

Shabbat Shalom!

The Love Rabbi & Rebbitzin | A Special Conversation About Dating and Relationships

21 februari 2024 | 38 min

Send us a text

Rabbi Yisroel and Sara Bernath share the essence of their 19-year-strong relationship, underlining that real-life experience is their most credible guide to discussing love and partnership. They advise looking beyond the preconceived notions of a perfect relationship, emphasizing the importance of embracing the journey's unexpected turns with an open heart.

Sara's key to a lasting bond lies in adaptability and openness, suggesting that the magic of a relationship unfolds in the spontaneous moments rather than in meeting specific expectations. The Bernaths debunk the myth of a singular, ideal partner, advocating for the significance of effort and mutual growth within a relationship.

Their wisdom encapsulates seeking guidance from those who have successfully navigated the complexities of love, highlighting that while relationships require work, they should enrich your life rather than feel like a chore. This candid conversation serves as a roadmap for building and maintaining a healthy, fulfilling relationship that thrives on flexibility, effort, and the joy of shared experiences.

Tonight’s message enriched by the heartfelt sermon shared by Bosmat Gabay Loebenberg in loving memory of her daughter Laura. Amid the backdrop of conflict, discover stories of individuals traveling to Israel to offer support, only to find themselves deeply inspired by the resilience and global concern of its people.

Why Jerusalem Not Mentioned in the Koran?

13 februari 2024 | 18 min

Send us a text

Embark on a thought-provoking journey with Rabbi Bernath in this episode "Jerusalem in the Koran," where the enigmatic absence of Jerusalem from the Koran's text sparks a historical and spiritual exploration. Dive deep into the Ummayyad Dynasty's strategic elevation of Jerusalem to a holy city to rival Mecca, leveraging the tale of Muhammad's celestial ascension from the newly christened Masjid Al-Aksa. This maneuver intertwines with the Jewish narrative of prophets transcending earthly bounds, exemplified by Elijah's fiery ascent, highlighting the universal quest for divine closeness.

Rabbi Bernath navigates these tales with a blend of historical insight and spiritual wisdom, questioning the true zenith of spiritual achievement. While figures like Moses and the Baal Shem Tov embrace their earthly departures, the podcast contemplates the essence of divine presence on Earth. Through the lens of Judaism, where the divine is drawn down to dwell among us, Rabbi Bernath redefines the spiritual goal not as ascending to heaven, but as sanctifying the earthly realm.

The construction of the Mishkan (Tabernacle) becomes a focal point, challenging the notion of confining the Infinite into a physical space, and instead proposing it as a bridge connecting the divine and the mundane. This concept is further explored through the mission of drawing the Shechina (Divine Presence) into our world, emphasizing Judaism's unique perspective on the ultimate spiritual quest.

"Jerusalem in the Koran" isn't just a historical recounting; it's an invitation to reflect on our place within the cosmos, the role of sacred spaces, and the pursuit of a life filled with divine purpose. Rabbi Bernath, with his characteristic wit and insight, encourages listeners to recognize the divine party host among us, urging us to live in a manner that acknowledges and celebrates the sacredness of our world and our actions within it.

60 days of Joy: The Story of Purim and the Jewish Month of Adar's Eternal Optimism

8 februari 2024 | 23 min

Send us a text

Today we explore why the month of Adar is 60 days and the holiday of Purim symbolize an unending joy for the Jewish people. We dive into the historical backdrop of Purim, focusing on a time when the Jewish nation faced its darkest hour under the threat of Haman's plot. Despite these dire circumstances, the story of Purim emerges as a testament to the Jewish people's resilience and their deep-rooted bond with G‑d.

Each episode will unpack the reasons behind the joy of Purim extending throughout the entire month of Adar, offering insights into how adversity was transformed into celebration. We'll explore the critical moments that led to Haman's downfall, the significance of the lottery falling in Adar, and how what seemed to be the worst possible timing turned into a triumph of spirit and faith.

"Joy in Adar" invites listeners to reflect on the essence of Purim's joy—celebrating not just a victory over external enemies but the enduring strength of the Jewish identity and its eternal relationship with the Divine. Join us for a journey of understanding, celebrating how even in the lowest points, our connection with G‑d remains unshaken, making Adar the happiest month of the year.

Rabbi Bernath's Weekly Sermon: Positive Jewish Identity

6 februari 2024 | 18 min

Send us a text

This week’s sermon reflects on the resilience and unity of our community. The book 'Buried by the Times' sheds light on a past where the Holocaust's truth struggled to find its rightful place in public consciousness, hidden away in the back pages of history's draft. Yet, this story isn't just about what was buried; it's a call to unearth our collective strength and purpose.

Parshat Yitro brings the powerful symbol of the shofar, reminding us that awakening and unity are at the heart of our journey. From the echoes of the Holocaust to the triumphs of the Six-Day War, we've seen the shofar's call to action in our own times, stirring us to remember, to unite, and to act with courage and love.

As we reflect on our history, we see not just the challenges, but the incredible victories and the miracles that have shaped us. These stories teach us that it's not just about surviving; it's about thriving, about taking pride in our identity, and about moving forward with positive action.

Let's carry this spirit into every aspect of our lives, embracing our heritage with joy and a commitment to making a difference. Together, we're not just remembering the past; we're building a future filled with light, learning, and love.

Recording of Rabbi Bernath's Shabbat Sermon: Amalek Revisited: Confronting Ancient Enmity in Modern Times

29 januari 2024 | 28 min

Send us a text

This was recorded Sunday evening, as recording devices are not allowed on Shabbat.

🔍📜 Exploring Amalek: Ancient Hatred in Modern Times 🔍📜

In a recent, controversial lawsuit brought by South Africa against Israel at the International Court of Justice, the ancient biblical figure of Amalek has resurfaced in a modern geopolitical debate. Accusations of genocide hinge on Prime Minister Netanyahu's invocation of the Torah's command to "remember what Amalek did to you" in the context of Israel's stance against Hamas. This historical reference has sparked intense discussion and scrutiny, especially given the evidence presented, including a video of soldiers and statements from a Knesset member relating to Amalek.

🌍🕊️ Amalek's Legacy: From Biblical Times to Today's Struggles 🌍🕊️

Amalek, historically, was the grandson of Esau and is emblematic of baseless hatred towards the Jewish people. This enmity is deeply rooted in Jewish history, with the Amalekites attacking the Israelites unprovoked as they journeyed through the Sinai Desert after their exodus from Egypt. The Torah's recounting of this ancient conflict underscores a relentless, generational animosity that poses a perpetual challenge to peace and morality. The episode of Moses and Joshua battling Amalek, and the divine command to erase Amalek's memory, symbolizes the ongoing struggle against unfounded hatred and evil.

🤔💭 Contemporary Reflections: Understanding and Overcoming Doubt 🤔💭

In Chassidic thought, Amalek represents the concept of 'doubt' (safek), challenging faith and moral certainty. This allegorical interpretation urges introspection, especially in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the broader challenges facing the Jewish community. The internal convictions regarding the Land of Israel, its history, and its spiritual significance are critical in this discourse. The teachings emphasize the importance of nurturing a strong connection to Judaism and Torah, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose, as a means to counter the "spiritual Amalek" of our times.

Empowering Every Human: The Rebbe's Revolutionary Vision of Leadership and Redemption

18 januari 2024 | 25 min

Send us a text

On Yud Shevat 5711 (1951), the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi MM Schneerson, revolutionized Jewish leadership. He declared a bold vision, not merely to anticipate Moshiach in a distant future, but to actively work towards this era in our lifetime. This audacious goal was set against the backdrop of post-Holocaust Jewish reality, challenging every Jew to contribute to this ultimate redemption.

The Rebbe's approach to leadership was groundbreaking. He insisted on a partnership model, where he would guide, but each individual was responsible for their own spiritual and worldly contribution. This was exemplified in his Sunday interactions, where the simple act of giving a dollar for charity transformed recipients into 'shluchim,' agents of positive change and personal responsibility.

The essence of the Rebbe's philosophy was beautifully encapsulated in his interaction with Gabriel Erem. Rather than focusing on his own greatness, the Rebbe redirected attention to the potential within every Jew. By redefining 'tzadik' and 'rebbe,' he democratized spiritual greatness, making it accessible to all. His teachings continue to inspire a vision where personal achievement and universal perfection are inextricably linked, empowering every Jew to be a leader in their own right.

What is Love Really?

11 januari 2024 | 29 min

Send us a text

"What is Love?" Love is redefined beyond the conventional understanding of a mere emotion or a passive state of being. We emphasized that love is an obligation and a directive, as illustrated in Leviticus 19:18, which commands to "love your fellow as yourself." This idea suggests that love is not just a spontaneous feeling but an active choice and action. Before one can extend love to others, it's crucial to first develop a sense of love for oneself. This foundational self-love sets the stage for meaningful and authentic relationships with others.

We further explored the idea that the essence of love is deeply rooted in the act of giving. It posits that love begins with giving and grows through consistent, thoughtful acts of kindness and generosity. This concept challenges the popular notion of love as a feeling that happens to us, suggesting instead that love is something we actively create through our actions. The more we give, the deeper our capacity for love becomes. This principle is encapsulated in the phrase, "First comes giving, then comes love," highlighting the transformative power of giving in cultivating and sustaining love. The chapter concludes by asserting that love is not just about feelings but about the deliberate and ongoing practice of giving, which ultimately shapes and strengthens our relationships.

In light of the terrible atrocities perpetrated against our brothers and sisters in Israel, with G-d’s help, I plan to go to Israel this coming Motzei Shabbat (Saturday Night).

It was not an easy decision for Sara and I to make and we weighed this heavily for a few days before deciding. Together, with a small group of rabbis, we will visit soldiers, those who have been wounded and are recovering in hospitals, broken families who have lost their homes, families in mourning or awaiting the fate of their loved ones in captivity, and government officials.

Our goal is to inspire, uplift, and send a message of hope that we in the Diaspora stand with our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land!

Some specific places I will visit include the Soroka Hospital in Beer Sheva, the largest hospital in Southern Israel, where many of the wounded are currently residing. I will also be visiting wounded soldiers and other victims from the terror attack at the El Shomer Hospital, homes of people sitting shiva, as well as army bases to provide support to our soldiers.

I hope to bring even a small measure of comfort and Chizuk (encouragement) by showing them that our community stands with them and cares tremendously about them!

We need to unite! We have all been praying to G-d, doing more Mitzvot and whatever else we can to help Israel. Everyone has their role to fill in providing help and support. Let us do what we can -- even in some small measure -- to alleviate some of the suffering. Let us show our solidarity with the people of Israel by taking on an extra Mitzvah at https://onemitzvah.org/israel/rabbi-bernaths-team and by donating to help the wounded and the families who have lost loved ones. Donate in Canadian dollars here https://ndg.chabadsuite.net/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=36 and in US dollars https://ndg.chabadsuite.net/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=15 (both links are tax-deductible)

While in Israel, I will personally distribute these funds to families in need. We want to distribute as much funding as possible to help those in need in this desperate time. Please participate in this Mitzvah. How beautiful will it be to be able to show up to comfort the mourners, not only with a show of emotional support, but an envelope for them as well.

You are also welcome to take part in this mission by preparing uplifting cards, letters, and artwork that I will distribute during my visit.

Anyone who takes part in any way in my trip will get a link to join a special WhatsApp group where I will update you in realtime.

May we very soon see the fulfillment of the prophecy that a time will come when "One nation will not lift a sword

some heartfelt words and prayers about the situation in Israel

12 oktober 2023 | 44 min

Send us a text

I share with you some heartfelt words about the situation in Israel and my sentiments — at a confusing and devastating time. This may seem simple but in times of crisis it’s hard to stay focused — yet it’s imperative that we do.

There is only today. Don’t think about tomorrow. Don’t think about next week. It's about today and it’s about action. Remaining stunned, immobile, and continuously processing are luxuries we simply don't have. We must focus on what we can do today!

Here's a few things you can do:

1. Go through the contacts in your phone and start texting people in Israel to let them know you are thinking of them. Include in this group people who you don’t know so well. A good word and a demonstration of love from a geographical distance goes a million miles.

2. The needs in Israel right now are tremendous. There are thousands of organizations and causes out there. Everyone is doing a good job — and they all need support. I believe we need to tap into our networks and people on the ground in Israel to see how we can help individuals.

We must be mentally strong as we need to be part of the armour of the Jewish nation. If that means not being glued to the news, recognize that. It requires changing the conversation from ‘how could it be’ to ‘what can we do’. I believe that it will both give Israel the greatest support and help restore the balance in your life that you’re seeking. Action does that as does the faith that

The Journey from Noah to Abraham | The Story of Avraham's Childhood

27 oktober 2022 | 67 min

Send us a text

Gave this special workshop for Unite To Study and Noahide International this evening. I told the entire story of Abraham's childhood, as told in the Midrash. I used the Young Avraham film as a visual for the storytelling. It was really special to use Young Avraham and honour 10 years since it was released. I hope this enlightens your Torah study this week. You can watch it on my facebook page and YouTube channel.

About Rabbi Benyamin Bresinger

Rabbi Benyamin Bresinger grew in up Montreal, where he completed his university degree at Concordia. After graduation, he continued his life education by traveling extensively, visiting over twenty-five countries world-wide. For his rabbinical education, Rabbi Bresinger studied at Toras Chaim Yeshiva in Jerusalem, Israel, followed by higher education at the Rabbinical College of America Kollel in Morristown, N.J. In 1991, he and his wife were appointed by the Lubavitcher Rebbe to represent Chabad for Metro West, New Jersey. His lectures on Kabbala were well attended as he founded the Beginners Synagogue that would become The Lubavitch Center of Essex County.

Rabbi Bresinger’s passion has always been working with recovering addicts. He became the pastoral counsellor for Jewish addicts in recovery for the Metro West Health and Healing Centre in New Jersey. During this time, he authored a course called, “Twelve Steps and Kabbalah,” which integrates the teachings of Kabbalah with the twelve steps of AA. He has lectured extensively around the country on this topic.

In 2007, Rabbi and Mrs. Bresinger and their five children moved to Montreal to be the directors of Chabad Lifeline, an addiction crisis drop-in centre.

A Short History of the Jews of Ukraine with Rabbi Yisroel Bernath

28 februari 2022 | 29 min

Send us a text

Ukraine has been under attack since the early morning of Feb. 24, and the country’s entire population is in danger, including the 350,000 Jews who call it home. For many Jews around the world, the name Ukraine conjures images of the place their grandparents or ancestors fled in the late 1800s or early 1900s, or as a region where millions of Jews were murdered during the Holocaust. All this is of course true, but what is also true is that Ukraine has been an increasingly hospitable home for hundreds of thousands of Jews whose families lived in its towns and cities for centuries and remained there even after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Here is my short history of the Jews of Ukraine. Just something to think about during this difficult time.

If you would like to donate to Ukraine. Use http://www.jewishndg.com/donateusd write Ukraine in the notes and I will personally make sure it is delivered to the right place.

The Journey from Noah to Abraham | The Story of Avraham's Childhood

10 oktober 2021 | 65 min

Send us a text

Gave this special workshop for Unite To Study and Noahide International this evening. I told the entire story of Abraham's childhood, as told in the Midrash. I used the Young Avraham film as a visual for the storytelling. It was really special to use Young Avraham and honour 10 years since it was released. I hope this enlightens your Torah study this week. You can watch it on my facebook page and YouTube channel.

About the Event
We are at a very unique point in history, coming out of a global pandemic that turned everything upside down. As our attention turns to rebuilding, what we need are strategies for life in the post-COVID world.

Connected Capitalism is a guide for bringing Jewish wisdom, which holds that the sacred is expressed in our interaction with the everyday, to all facets of our lives. This means favouring action over passivity, knowing that every action we take has the potential to transform. It means choosing actions that change us, our environment, and all those we come in contact with. It means doing the spiritual work that will allow us to find meaning, connection, and wonder.

Join us for this timely conversation, as we explore how Jewish wisdom can help us thrive after the pandemic.

The Journey from Noah to Abraham | The Story of Avraham's Childhood

30 oktober 2020 | 64 min

Send us a text

Gave this special workshop for Unite To Study and Noahide International this evening. I told the entire story of Abraham's childhood, as told in the Midrash. I used the Young Avraham film as a visual for the storytelling. It was really special to use Young Avraham and honour 10 years since it was released. I hope this enlightens your Torah study this week. You can watch it on my facebook page and YouTube channel.

This year has been a difficult one for all of us. We find ourselves searching for ways to forgive and forget, searching for answers, inspiration and meaning.

As we come closer to Yom Kippur during these unprecedented times, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to find inspiration.

Holocaust Survivor and Cantor Fishel Goldig will join Rabbi Yisroel Bernath for a special Pre-Yom Kippur Event that is sure to get you into the spirit

Listen to Fishel talk about Yom Kippur during the Holocaust and his incredible story of survival. Hear Rabbi Bernath’s words of inspiration and as a special treat Cantor Fishel will share Songs from the Ghetto and perhaps a few surprises.

This online event is sure to make your Yom Kippur more meaningful and focussed.

About Fishel Goldig

Fishel Goldig was born in 1933 in Mielnica, Poland (today Ukraine). At the beginning of 1942 Fishel and his family were forced to move to the Borszczow ghetto. Most of his family eventually escaped the ghetto and lived in the forest for several months. He and several family members were taken in by a Ukrainian farmer, where they lived in a hole in a potato cellar for 22 months. After liberation, Fishel’s family spent two years in a DP camp in Pocking before immigrating to Canada. They settled in Montreal where Fishel went to yeshiva, studied literature, art and singing, and pursued a career in business. In 2017, Fishel was chosen by Canada to participate in the opening of the official Holocaust Memorial in Ottawa. Fishel is a seasoned cantor and will be sharing by his story and the beloved music of his childhood.

Interview with HARDCHARLiE Charles Goldberg, Clinical Psycho-therapist and Rapper.

9 juli 2019 | 16 min

Send us a text

Recorded Live at the Chabad on Campus International Conference in Stamford, CT.

Honesty is essential to an artist’s credibility. Hailing from Chicago, it is the truth in HARDCHARLiE’s music that sets him apart from so many other artists. There is much more here than empty lines about cars, women, and money. There is a connection to be made with every listener; a way of liberating oneself from the constant pummeling of daily existence. HARDCHARLiE personifies hardship, and defines a path to overcoming it with songs that are known to be drenched in sincerity and rumbling with vigor. Each track has been given a dynamic glow with impressive production from Alex Bork (Teen Heat). HARDCHARLiE brings new talent to both the hip hop and acoustic emo genres, composing his tracks with a delicious blend of heart, head, and gut.

Born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, HARDCHARLiE, otherwise known as Charles Goldberg, braved the challenges of teenage life armed with a pen and paper. A classically trained pianist, guitarist, and drummer, Goldberg grew tired of playing other people’s music, and recognized his need to create something raw and accessible for the masses. Throughout his high school career, Goldberg invested efforts into girls rather than academic endeavors, instilling discomfort in his parents’ chests as they worried about his professional development. Yet Goldberg was growing and learning from every failed romance, taking the lessons gained from each and displaying them with stunning guitar riffs and articulate hooks; these accounts became the essence of his first release “to forgive myself…”

The guitar might have become Goldberg’s therapist, supporting him emotionally, but the song-writer, more stable and focused than ever, turned to the drums as his boxing coach. While at the University of Kansas, Goldberg met a Rabbi, Zalman Tiechtel, who placed a yarmulke on his head and tzitzit at his sides. Discovering his heritage in a brand new dimension, Goldberg dove head first into teachings of Chassidic mysticism, and surfaced with hip hop masterworks. On the mic, Goldberg creates percussive bliss through lyrics brimming with five thousand year old tradition mixed with coping strategies against modern day demands. After spending a year working in a Delaware state penitentiary, the artist was granted an insider’s look into what life was really like on the streets, something most privileged, white, Jewish kids from the suburbs never take the time to seek out. “I saw parallels between the inmates’ lives and the lives of the Jewish people, most notably, the struggle to push forward and thrive,” Goldberg relates, “I’d rap with many of the individuals I worked with, and it was always funny to me that despite our differences, we were really saying the same things.”

HARDCHARLiE has far more than just the nerve to inspire and advise; he has the credentials to back him up as well. More than a musician, teacher, and devout Jew, Goldberg holds a Master's degree in clinical mental health counseling a
