Guide to Self-Assessment, Part 1

Are you just counting days, or are you making the days count? We’re mid-way through the Omer, but the real work is happening inside. Rabbi Arush shares the secret to jumpstarting your teshuvah and building a closer connection with Hashem. 

Child Insurance

Challenges to our personal holiness are everywhere. How can we protect our children? The answer isn't a lecture—it’s our own kedusha. Our daily prayers, our growth, and our cry of 'Abba, help me!' are what create the spiritual shield our children need. Everything depends on this.

Creating a Secure Space

We face a clear and present danger that demands every defensive measure we have. But the most powerful protection isn't just physical—it’s spiritual. Now more than ever, Kedushah is our vital line of defense. Here is why it’s urgent, and how we start.

Improving Our Service of Hashem

Connecting to Hashem isn't just a feeling; it’s a lifestyle. From the holy words of our Torah, we find the key to translating our soul's deepest desires into daily deeds. Discover how one timeless value creates a sanctuary of love and protection for the whole family.

Shaping the Future Generation 

Rabbi Arush explores the often hidden impact that parents’ personal modesty has on their children’s growth and future success. Tzniut is a powerful tool for parenting and creates a foundation for children to truly thrive.

A Haggadah of Love, Part II

The ultimate goal of the Seder is to reveal the world’s most hidden truth: Hashem’s profound love for us. By instilling this knowledge in ourselves and our children, we transform our emunah and ignite our prayers with new, fiery life. This unequivocal message of Divine Love is the true climax of the night.

A Haggadah of Love

Parents, this Seder, show your children that Hashem’s love isn't a reward for being perfect—it's an unbreakable bond that belongs to every Jew regardless of spiritual level. Teach them that we weren't redeemed because we had earned it, but because we are His children and He loves us unconditionally.

Practical Mercy, Part 2

“My wife and I are broken, Rabbi, we really don’t know what has happened to our sweet daughter. She was so tzaddikah, so modest, so sweet, so gentle, a homebody who always helped. And now she acts like a dybbuk (demon) got into her..."

Practical Mercy, Part I

There is no love like parents’ love for their children, and the connection starts already before birth. The parents are connected and attached to the child without even seeing him, without knowing who he is and what he is, unconnected with his deeds, or to any external factor.

Don’t Play with Guns

Rabbeinu says that the main weapon of a Jew is prayer. Our problem is that we don’t know the tremendous power that we have in our mouths!   There is nothing that cannot be achieved with prayer. Rabbi Arush explains why this is particularly important now before Purim.

Happy Times with Father

Purim is around the corner. Rabbi Arush gives us encouragement and instructions on how to prepare for this holiday when all prayers can be answered. Don’t let Purim go to waste!
