Parshas Lech Lecha tells the story of Avraham’s journey, but hidden between the lines burns another story — that of Haran, Avraham’s brother. Haran, often passed over as a minor character, was in truth the father and grandfather of all the Imahos — Sarah, Rivkah, Rachel, and Leah — and the ancestor of Mashiach.
In this shiur, we uncover how Haran’s quiet act of mesirus nefesh became the spiritual DNA of the Jewish people — passed down through the Matriarchs, and alive today in every act of courage, faith, and sacrifice for Am Yisrael.

Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkos are not separate islands on the calendar, they are stages in one powerful journey. This shiur uncovers the deep thread that connects Elul, the Yamim Noraim, and Sukkos: from ותשובה ותפילה וצדקה to צום, קול, ממון; from fear to love; from the closed Aron Kodesh of Selichos to the dancing with the Torah on Simchas Torah. Along the way, we’ll explore why Sukkah is the only mitzvah where you must remember the reason, hear moving stories, including Omer Shem Tov’s faith in captivity and discover how brains, wealth, and beauty can either lead to arrogance or become reminders that all gifts come from Hashem.

Rav Kook on Teshuva: Returning to Your Core
Rav Kook’s writings reveal a revolutionary approach to teshuva: it’s not just about regret for sin, but about returning to your essence—connecting with Hashem with simcha. Unlike teshuva born from fear or guilt, true teshuva stems from joy, love, and realizing that closeness to Hashem is life’s greatest pleasure. This shiur explores his insights from Orot HaTeshuva, including the three levels of teshuva—physical, moral, and intellectual—and the journey from sudden inspiration to gradual spiritual growth.
