    Mishpatim: Divine Boundaries

    After Sinai’s revelation comes Mishpatim — the laws. But beneath the rules lies a deeper truth: our limited human view is not a flaw, it’s the condition for relationship. This episode explores mitzvot as channels of connection, alignment beyond logic, and the quiet trust that allows us to walk with God even when we don’t understand.

    Yitro: Embodied Knowing

    Why is the parsha of receiving the Torah named for Yitro? This class explores ata yadati — embodied knowing. Not belief, but the realization that nothing in our lives was ever outside of God. Not the detours. Not the pain. Not the confusion. Through Yitro and Avraham, we uncover what allows Torah to be received: releasing victimhood, taking responsibility for meaning, and opening ourselves to receive Divine flow.

    Beshalach: After Freedom

    Freedom doesn’t end the journey. In Parshat Beshalach, redemption is followed by fear, uncertainty, and the pull to return to what’s familiar. This class explores the space after freedom — when instinctive responses take over and the path forward feels impossible. The Torah’s answer is simple but demanding: keep moving. Clarity and safety don’t come first. They are revealed only after action. Through the splitting of the sea, we learn that alignment opens the way. When we walk despite fear, a deeper knowing emerges — and the path unfolds

    Bo: Beyond Understanding

    Parshat Bo marks the turning point of redemption — not when suffering ends, but when inner orientation shifts. As the final plagues unfold and Rosh Chodesh Shevat arrives, the Torah reveals a deeper truth: freedom begins before circumstances change. Through Moshe’s confrontation with Pharaoh, we uncover the inner battle between logic and soul-knowing, control and trust. This class explores why redemption requires moving without understanding, how darkness reveals what we truly rely on, and why only those willing to release intellectual control could step into freedom. Exodus is not escape — it is the courage to live beyond understanding.

    Vaera: Letting Go

    In Parshat Vaeira, God reveals a deeper way of relating to Him — not as a distant force, but as a presence woven into every detail of life, even within suffering. This class explores why Moshe is allowed to question, what leadership looks like in times of pain, and how true return unfolds not through control, but through surrender. We trace the movement from effort to trust, from resistance to alignment, and from trying to force outcomes to letting life unfold in its proper time — discovering how letting go becomes the doorway to clarity, freedom, and redemption itself.

    Shemos: The Vessel for Freedom

    Sefer Shemos is not just the story of leaving Egypt. It is the full architecture of freedom. The Torah measures redemption not by the end of suffering, but by the ability to receive. True freedom is reached when a vessel is built — when the Mishkan exists — teaching us that geulah is not escape, but alignment. This class explores freedom as an inner state, teshuva as a return to name and purpose, and why personal redemption always precedes collective redemption. Through the opening pasuk of Shemos, the season of Shovavim, and the three signs given to Moshe, we learn a practical path: confronting doubt, returning to light, and renewing ourselves again and again. Redemption is not a single moment — it is the slow, intentional becoming of a vessel capable of holding the Divine.

    Vayechi: Trusting the Unknown

    Vayechi explores the quiet, dangerous moment before exile fully sets in—when life still feels comfortable, but something essential is beginning to slip. Through Yaakov’s final years in Egypt, his encounter with Ephraim and Menashe, and his withheld revelation of the end of days, this class examines our human urge to control outcomes, perfect the future, and judge what doesn’t match our expectations. Instead, the Torah offers a different response: blessing over fixing, trust over certainty, and participation over prediction. Vayechi teaches that we don’t need to know how the story ends to live faithfully inside it—and that the unknown itself is the space where becoming, alignment, and redemption are formed.

    Vayigash: Embodied Truth

    This class explores the moment when Yehuda stands before Yosef with no good options and no guarantees. Through their encounter, we look at what it means to stand in strength without knowing the outcome, and how Yosef’s embodied truth makes explanation unnecessary. The teaching then moves into Yaakov’s descent into Egypt, reframing pressure and uncertainty not as failure, but as part of becoming.
