    When Survival is No Longer Enough (Bo & Beshalach)

    Classical commentators struggle with Moshe’s strange request to leave Egypt for only three days, despite knowing the ultimate goal was permanent freedom. This shiur explores a new framework: that Moshe sought a temporary restoration of Jewish identity within exile — until Parashat Bo teaches that identity without sovereignty over time cannot survive. A deep dive into Shemot, Rashi, and the turning point where redemption stops being negotiated.

    The Birth of a Nation Begins with United a Family

    Sefer Bereishit is the Jewish people as a family , and Sefer Shemot is the Jewish people as a nation. But what if these two descriptions are one and the same ?

    Inside Out: The Two Lights of Chanukah

    Judaism demands a rare balance: fierce inward holiness and bold outward influence. In this episode, we uncover how Chanukah weaves these two missions into one—through Sukkos, Beit Shammai, the Maccabees, Rav Kook, and the great duos of Jewish history. From the private miracle of the oil to the public miracle of victory, Chanukah teaches us how a strong Jewish home becomes a light to the world.

    What is Your Dream? (Vayeishev)

    In this episode Rabbi Claman explores the counterintuitive way that Yosef realizes his destiny and dreams. Yosef’s destiny turns not when he shares his dreams, but when he asks someone else about theirs. To illustrate this lesson, Rabbi Claman points to inspiring stories of Omer Shem Tov in captivity and of Rav Nosson Tzvi Finkel z'l when he met the former CEO of Starbucks.

    Yaakov’s Dream on Temple Mount: The Ladder Between Two Worlds

    Why does Yaakov experience his great vision at the exact midpoint between intense spiritual immersion and the messy physicality of building a family in Lavan’s house? Why a ladder? Why angels rising and descending? This episode uncovers the meaning behind the dream that connects heaven and earth — and how Yaakov's life becomes the model for intertwining two worlds into one mission.
