    Parshat Shmot 5782: Confidence is Key

    Growing up, I had a poster on my wall that said “Leadership: Some are born with it; others have it thrust upon them.” And as I’ve been studying Parshat Shmot, the first Torah portion in the Book of Exodus, I quickly realized that the poster I had looked at for close to a decade is where I wanted to begin our podcast. There are times where we’d have to step up to the plate and be the leader that a situation calls for, but sometimes that responsibility is thrown our way. It's not necessarily always easy though.

    Parshat Miketz 5782: Joseph, the First Prepper

    Parshat Vayeshev 5782: Location, Location, Location

    We see how easy it can be to go from the top to the bottom in today's Torah Portion. But what if we are on the top? How do we respond? Do we brag on ourself or do we see the impact of our behavior?

    Parshat Vayishlach--Jacob's Blessing Is Teshuva

    As we wrap up the soap opera that has been Jacob's life, it's often easy to look at the reunion between Jacob and Esau through the perspective of forgiving people, but let's look at the other perspective. How do we repent in order to be forgiven? Join us as we look at their interaction through Jacob's eyes.

    Parshat Vayetzei 5782: Correlation Doesn't Imply Karma

    My high school biology teacher often said, "Correlation doesn't imply causation," but with Parshat Vayetzei, causation doesn't play as big a role as karma does. As we examine the correlation between Parshat Toldot and Parshat Vayetzei, join us as we discover how Jacob affected his karma in these two thematically similar parshiyot!

    Parshat Toldot: It's Better to Be Challenged than Coddled

    We're all familiar with Jacob receiving his brother Esau's birthright in exchange for a bowl of soup. We're all familiar with how Jacob is dressed up as Esau to receive his father Isaac's blessing. But could this entire ordeal have been avoided if Isaac and Rebekah chose to challenge their favorite children?
