    Stretching From Love: Tanya Chapter 15 with Miriam

    In this teaching from her weekly Tanya class, Miriam explores Chapter 15 and the two kinds of Benoni: the one who serves G-d and the one who has grown comfortable. Why does learning something one hundred and one times change everything? What does it mean that we rent the donkey but never own it? And why must real growth come from love, not from pushing or shame? A warm and practical teaching on stretching beyond your comfort zone with tenderness. The full class, with reflection questions, lives in the Light Warrior Circle: livekabbalah.com #Tanya #Kabbalah #Chassidus #InnerGrowth #LiveKabbalah

    The Letter Resh: When Emptiness Becomes a Beginning

    Resh (ר) begins with a surprising possibility: the place where we feel empty may become the place where we learn how to receive. Rabbi Amichai Cohen explores five dimensions of the letter Resh, including its connection to rash, the difference between Resh and Dalet, the movement from acher to echad, the meaning of its numerical value of 200, and the promise of return found in the relationship between Kuf and Resh. Along the way, we ask what separates having enough from feeling enough, and how humility can become a doorway to awareness, connection, and a new beginning. This class was recorded live in the Light Warrior Circle on October 18, 2026. Explore Live Kabbalah: https://www.livekabbalah.com/

    The Blues, the Temple & the Soul | Eduard Shyfrin

    What could the blues have to do with the music of the ancient Temple? And why can one melody hold both sorrow and joy? Rabbi Amichai Cohen welcomes Eduard Shyfrin—a scientist, entrepreneur, author and blues musician—for a conversation that begins with the blues and opens into the questions of the soul. Raised in a home filled with jazz, blues and books, Eduard returned to playing during lockdown and discovered a new passion for composing. He shares his intriguing theory connecting the blues, sacred music and Jewish tradition. From there, we explore the personal crisis that led him to Torah and Kabbalah, the difference between measured time and inner time, and what his search has taught him about life, the soul and how we should live. His books include From Infinity to Man and The Relativity of Death. Recorded on 8 October 2026.Explore Live Kabbalah: https://www.livekabbalah.com

    Staying Connected After Prayer: Terumat HaDeshen

    We can feel close to Hashem during prayer, then find ourselves becoming hard on ourselves or someone else as we return to the day. In this short teaching, I explore what the ashes left on the altar can teach us about that transition. Terumat HaDeshen helps us understand what to hold on to and what to let go of within ourselves. We look at how to release harsh, punitive judgment while keeping the discernment that helps us grow. Even when the feeling of closeness fades, our connection with Hashem remains, and we can carry that awareness into daily life.

    Bereishit: Why Was G-d Sad in His Heart?

    At the end of Parshat Bereishit, the Torah says something startling. Vayitatzev el libo, G-d was saddened in His heart, and regretted creating humanity. Does G-d have a heart? And what does it mean for G-d to be sad? The Rambam teaches that these are expressions, not literal attributes. Chassidus goes deeper. The Alter Rebbe explains that the heart is the place of Malchut, the place where knowledge has to land. All through Tishrei we have been drawing daat into the heart, and the etrog itself represents the heart. When G-d is sad in His heart, Malchut is not seeing the potential of humanity. The Alter Rebbe also teaches that simcha is different from pleasure. Pleasure is immediate. Joy is knowing a treasure is stored for you, even when you cannot see it. And the repair comes through one person, Noach, who found grace in the eyes of Hashem. So the question for this new year is practical. What is one choice I can make that rises above the limits of my own heart? This world is where G-d's heart is, and the greatest potential is stored here for us. It is within our choice to be that Noach and to build that ark. Shabbat Shalom and a blessed new year. Learn more at livekabbalah.com

    October 7: Remembering Who We Are

    Today marks three years since October 7. We remember where we were that day, what happened, and how much has changed since then. We are three years after October 7, and in many ways we are still within it. The Torah constantly reminds us to remember. Zachor. We remember coming out of Egypt, we remember the Beit Hamikdash, and on Rosh Hashanah we remember that Hashem is present in our lives. Life goes on. The day to day takes over, and without making space for remembrance, we can slowly lose touch with what once felt so clear. For me, remembering this day includes the pain and the atrocities, and also the unity that followed. It means remembering the spirit within us that rose up with love for Hashem and love for one another, and asking how we can bring that into the way we live today. In this short reflection, I speak about remembering who we are, staying clear about good and evil, and remaining connected to that faith and unity. May Hashem bring each of us out of our personal and collective galut into complete geulah. 🤍 Rabbi Amichai Cohen https://LiveKabbalah.com

    Hoshana Rabbah: The Willow and the Great Salvation

    The last day of Sukkot is Hoshana Rabbah, the Great Salvation. On this day the simplest of the four species takes the primary focus: the aravah, the willow. It has no taste and no smell. Its only virtue is that it is part of the community, and without it we do not fulfill the mitzvah of the four species. In this short teaching, Rabbi Amichai looks at why the willow grows by a stream of water, the flow of life, and why its branches move together in the wind. That, he teaches, is what the whole holiday of Sukkot is about: coherence, flow and togetherness, with ourselves and with others. From the Ushpizin of the first days, Avraham and Chesed, Yitzchak and Gevurah, Yaakov and Tiferet, to the last day of King David and Malchut, the quality that holds all of the dimensions together. And we ask what it means to move from our personal salvation to the great, collective salvation: to listen, to leave room for the other, and to feel what is here for all of us in this moment. Like the willow, rustling in the wind just because that is where the wind is going.
