Avraham jumps into embodied action by living in his purpose even through his pain. Lot’s wife looks back and gets destroyed along with her past, in a world that once was. Both had moments of transformation. Avraham expanded with his pain, and the lot’s wife contracted with her pain. They both had clarity. They both had free choice. One acted on it, the other chose not to. Inspiration demands embodiment, and freedom requires shedding.
Avram’s story is the journey of following the soul’s call to leave safety and walk toward truth. In this class, we explore Avram as the archetype of becoming: what he left behind, how he trusted, and what it means to live in movement with God. Through Torah and Chassidut, we uncover the inner meaning of “Lech Lecha- go to yourself,” and how every woman’s path of uncertainty, surrender, and becoming mirrors Avram’s first brave step into the path of the unknown.
This week we explore the energy of Cheshvan through Noach, the quiet after the storm. After the intensity of Tishrei, Chassidut teaches that true renewal comes through menuchah, a calm, regulated nervous system aligned with divine connection. Rest isn’t emptiness, it’s the very intentional vehicle to integrate enlightenment.
This week, we return to Bereishit, the beginning. Not as a story of the past, but as a mirror of our own inner creation happening inside of us in every moment that we are alive.
We explore the first light, not physical light, but Divine consciousness within us and what it means to create from awareness rather than reaction. Every soul began as part of one great collective light. Our work now is to elevate our individual spark, bringing the fragmented pieces of creation back into wholeness.
In this week between Rosh Hashana and Yom kippur, we are in a time and space that contains the highest level of spirituality. We use this time, on Shabbat Shuva to return to our highest selves, return to the beliefs that are true of God and of the Godly parts of ourselves. Practically, we explore the teaching from Moshe, as he walks the last day of his life on continued enlightenment. How to carry it through, to embody our beliefs on a deeper level, and access it always.
In Parshat Nitzavim, Moshe shares his wisdom on how to enter Rosh Hashana: standing tall, head held high, rooted in confidence, embodying our essence. We explore spiritual confidence, the gift of free choice, and the courage to choose life. We choose to show up to the new year as free souls, aligned and ready.
This week’s parsha, Ki Tavo, lays out blessings and curses- not as punishment or rewards. God isn’t punishing us, He’s showing us the natural consequences of being aligned or misaligned with our divine source. When we live connected to our intuition, life itself becomes a blessing. When we disconnect, it feels like a curse. Most importantly we talk about what it means to find your alignment.
This week we talk about fighting. The kinds of fights that we all have fought in our lives. Not with other people, but within ourselves. Our fight for peace, love, stability. Do we really have to fight for the things we desire most, or is there another way? We talk about when to act, when to surrender, and how to trust God. And what to do when the voice of doubt inevitably comes through.
This week in Parshat Shoftim, we look at what judgment really means. Not the negative, critical, or destructive kind, but the holy power of discernment, which ultimately leads us to true inner alignment. We explore how judgment, when softened with kindness, becomes one of the most powerful tools for living in your truth.
If God is everywhere, why did we need the Beit HaMikdash? In this class I explore the deeper purpose of having a physical space of alignment, and how that teaching applies to us today. We’ll talk about our human need for guidance, being witnessed in our pain, and why no one is meant to walk their path alone. The message: choose to be seen, because healing and growth happen in connection, not isolation.
The prophecy for Moshiach is given over in this week’s Torah portion. From it, we learn how to live in the energy and alignment we all want, not waiting for some future time, but starting the practice now, so we can usher in the freedom we desire. It’s about the small, steady steps, the commitment, the dedication, and the belief in what we’re working toward. Our choices matter. The Torah shifts from feeling like a list of rules to follow into a loving guidebook for living in alignment with ourselves and with the Shechina. That’s Moshiach energy, and we get to live in that TODAY.
In this episode, we explore the profound spiritual art of asking. Through the story of Moshe’s prayer to enter the Land and God’s refusal we uncover what it really means to pray, to desire, and to be told “no.” What if the unanswered prayer is not rejection, but redirection? What is the purpose of waiting? We talk about levels of desire, the feminine art of receiving, and how to hold the “no” without shutting down, but instead, becoming.
The last and final book of the Torah starts this week and is different from the rest in that it is told not just through Moshe, but by Moshe in his own words. The obvious question is: why repeat all the stories that were just told? There is a deep teaching in the way that Moshe re-tells our story that teaches us how to connect to our own stories of our lives and retell it with the perspective of purpose and hindsight. The lesson we emulate from Moshe is about embodying your own uniqueness to be a channel of bringing the Shechina into this world.
The first topic in this parsha is annulments, which may seem to be irrelevant to most people. However, as we delve into the conversation of promises, what they are and how we can use them, this couldn’t be further from the truth. We learn the fundamentals of manifestation, straight from the torah source, and how to use the power of our words as we co-create our lives with God in every moment that we are in this world.
Pinchas, the son of Aaron commits a murder and is awarded the covenant of peace. How can evil be perceived as a blessing and deserve a reward? Is it possible to do something bad, but have pure intentions, and so it becomes good? Why do bad things happen to good people? Through this question, we learn about what good and bad is and how our perspective is a key part of this equation. The lesson we learn from Pinchas is all about the lens that we view the world through. We hold the keys to the goodness that we desire.
As we move into the weeks that preempt us receiving the Promise Land, we encounter resistance in the form of spiritual warfare. In the story of Balak's curse transforming to perhaps the greatest prophecy of all time, we learn the practice of transformation. of extracting our light that is held within our darkness.
Learning the explanation to Parah Aduma was only that there are some things we don't understand, never sat right with me. There had to be more, and so I searched for the deep teachings in these words. Encoded in this chapter is a fundamental life lesson: trusting the wisdom without having an understanding. This is the secret to living a Torah life. Parah Aduma teaches us the mechanism of defying human logic and embracing trust, humility and welcoming in existential spirituality to our lives. Even when, and especially when, we don't understand.
Through the story of Korach, we learn about acceptance of what is. Our lot in life, with all its challenges and beautiful things, is tailor made for me. Highlighting our differences only highlights our sacred individual holiness. There is no such thing as a hierarchy, we each have our own path and our own light to discover. When there is a rumbling of unrest, this lesson is about looking inward instead of standing on an external moral injustice.
We talk about how the story of entering the land, wasn't a spy mission. Rather, a messenger and a indicator to our ever evolving relationship with God. In building trust and faith and oneness. We explore this in our own individual journeys, as a nation and as a world as we enter into the era of Mashiach and the active path we are in right now in coming home to our Land.
This Parsha is all about moving inward towards our purpose, toward our inner light and toward our own path and journey through life an to healing. Its an invitation to step into our roles, receive second chances, take one aligned step at a time and travel both ourselves and together toward our individual and collective goal of freedom, redemption and connection to the shechina.
