    Parshas Matos-Masei: Healing the Heart’s Hidden Tears

    Why does Yom Kippur only work once we’ve appeased our neighbors? Rav Leibish Hundert explores the inner dimensions of teshuvah (repentance), childhood trauma, and the “uncircumcised heart.” In this week’s shiur on Parshat Matot-Masei, we delve into: The Law of Forgiveness: Why seeking appeasement is more than just a ritual. The Rebbe-Student Dynamic: The danger of pushing a soul away too hard (and the tragic lesson of "Yoshko"). The Split of Menashe: Why was half the tribe left on the East Bank? Discover the spiritual reverberations of Yosef’s "cup in the bag" and the healing power of Rebbe Nachman’s Hisbodedus. Market Laws & Spiritual "Sixths": How the laws of overcharging (ona’ah) mirror our own spiritual mistakes and the path to being "forgiven by default." Join us for a transformative session on finding the "still small voice" amidst the storms of life.

    Prepare for Purim (8): The "Aff" Trap

    "All this is worth nothing to me." How can a person who has reached the pinnacle of power, wealth, and prestige be utterly consumed by a single man who refuses to bow? In this installment of our Purim series, Rav Leibish Hundert dives into the dark psychology of Haman (Megillat Esther, Perek 5) to uncover the "Inner Serpent" that still whispers to us today. Moving between the King’s palace, the Garden of Eden, and the modern Shabbat table, this shiur explores: The Calculated Restraint of Evil: Why Haman’s ability to "hold back" was his most dangerous trait. The "Aff" Connection: Decoding the linguistic link between Haman’s anger and the original deception of the Nachash (Serpent). Competition vs. Creation: Why a worldview based on hierarchy leaves us perpetually "starving," while the Tzadik finds satiety (Sveiah) in the smallest of moments. The Medicine of Oneg: A powerful story from a Chicago shtiebel on the healing frequency of U’masbia and why enjoying your life is the ultimate spiritual weapon against Haman. Join us as we learn how to step out of the "authority and force" mindset and into the light of our own unique Ratzon (Desire). Deepen your Purim. Find your satiety. Recorded July 6, 2026

    Learning with Reb Shlomo (63): Tisha B’Av & The Inner Light of Destruction

    How can a day of total destruction be the source of our greatest healing? In this soul-stirring shiur, Rav Lebisih Hundert of Yeshivat Simchat Shlomo (Jerusalem) explores the teachings of Reb Shlomo Carlebach on the inner dimensions of Tisha B’Av. Moving through the profound "Feeling the Pain of Destruction," Rav Lebisih dives into the paradox of the Holy Temple: why it is considered "completely rebuilt" even in its ruined state, and why the future Temple will forever contain its own brokenness. In this episode, we explore: The Mystery of the Kruvim (Cherubim): What the "moment of saying goodbye" in the Holy of Holies teaches us about our relationship with the Infinite. Comforting the Father: A radical look at the Radomsker Rebbe’s teaching on the son who forgets his own pain to console his grieving Father (God). The Torn Page: The powerful story of the Bobover Rebbe finding a single page of Gemara in a Nazi general's trash, and what it means to treasure "broken Torah." The Secret of the Letter Tet: How the shape of the number 9 reveals a hidden opening toward Heaven, even when we feel entirely closed off. Shlomo Molcho & Mashiach: The haunting and heroic story of the monk who returned to his roots and the "birth" of redemption within the fire of Tisha B'Av. Whether you are preparing for the fast or seeking to understand the "holiness of the broken heart," this teaching offers a roadmap for turning our deepest national and personal sorrows into a vessel for light.

    Prepare for Purim (7): The Radical Secret of Purim

    "We should be so happy that we don't even remember the Temple isn't standing." Rav Lebish Hundert shares a "bombastic" teaching from the 1500s that explains the true, hidden purpose of the Purim feast. Purim isn't just about celebrating a past miracle; it's about a state of consciousness that is higher than both Exile (Galut) and Redemption (Geulah). Recorded at Yeshivat Simchat Shlomo, this episode explores the "romantic" side of the Shema, the steadfastness of Mordechai, and why the joy of Purim is the ultimate "redemption from the redemption."

    Learning with Reb Shlomo (62): Why the Temple was Really Destroyed

Rav Lebish Hundert shares a soulful Breslov and Carlebach perspective on the destruction of Jerusalem and the path to its rebuilding.

    Building a Personal Relationship with Hashem (28): Radical Vulnerability

    Why do we often hide our real selves when we show up to talk to God? In this moving shiur, Rav Lebish Hundert shares a powerful Breslov parable about an orphan, a secret pain, and the true meaning of friendship. Drawing on the teachings of Rebbe Nachman and the insights of Rav Kivak, Rav Hundert explains why "talking Torah" is sometimes a mask for the soul, and how we can build a "safe container" to finally tell God the truth. If you’ve ever felt a distance in your prayer or wondered what it actually means to have a "Soul Friend" (Yedid Nefesh), this episode is for you. Highlights include: The Orphan’s Parable: Moving from intellectual connection to emotional truth. Why God is looking for "Friends," not just "Subjects." The Stephen Covey connection: How to be a better listener to your own soul. Why feeling the pain of the Galus (Exile) is a sign of ultimate closeness. Recorded June 24, 2026.
