Real Torah for real people trying to figure it out. We go back and forth - friendship, Rebbe Nachman, love, Rav Kook, inner peace, outer peace, prayer, truth, the book of Leviticus. Often these podcasts are "pre-learning" for a class I am teaching. If you love the material and you want info on the classes, hit me up at heyrabbi @ gmail.

  1. the 4th Circle - The All

    09/12/2025

    the 4th Circle - The All

    Here Rav Kook describes the 4th circle of concern that reaches beyond humanity and includes everything - all creatures, all worlds. In this podcast we explore how that could look.

  2. The Circle of Humankind

    01/12/2025

    The Circle of Humankind

    Rav Kook describes the transition from the Circle of the Nation to the Circle of Humankind. This is not simply a function of quantity; rather, there are vastly different orientations, expectations and emotions that kick in.

  3. Expanding toward the people

    16/11/2025

    Expanding toward the people

    The second circle of concern requires that a person sing the song of the people. The transition, though, is what is interesting. A person sense that the song of their own soul is not enough. There comes a time when it is no longer acceptable to remain focused inward.

  4. Circles of Concern: The Song of the Self

    10/11/2025

    Circles of Concern: The Song of the Self

    Rav Kook's four-fold prayer is built on concentric circles: self, nation, humanity, all. Each layer has a "song". And it is not simple to be able to sing the song of circle.

  5. A deep desire to unify

    30/09/2025

    A deep desire to unify

    Rav Kook describes the love-drunk individual's desire to bring together EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. This is a beautiful and difficult way to live and to love. But we have to do difficult things sometimes....

  6. Celebrity Crush

    15/09/2025

    Celebrity Crush

    Rav Kook urges us to demand high standards of ourselves - including the seemingly odd guidance toward loving the standouts - celebrities? - in a variety of fields, including science, war, poetry, craft, and even business. Why?!?

  7. Love takes work

    07/09/2025

    Love takes work

    Rav Kook demands a great love but he is not naive about how difficult it is to develop that love. Obviously it takes work - to get past surface understandings of the ethics and Torah that are supposed to guide us, to get past the superficial ways that we see each other, and to get past our cultural biases. But that's why we're here - to work and to love.

  8. Constricting love - lovingly

    29/08/2025

    Constricting love - lovingly

    Rav Kook acknowledges that expressing love in a complex world is complex. But that doesn't mean it gets to be less loving.

  9. Love, fullheartedly, for everything

    25/08/2025

    Love, fullheartedly, for everything

    Rav Kook is a challenging teacher of love because his love was so big, so full, so much on display, and so often got him in trouble because smaller-minded people felt he shouldn't love as much as he did.
