My name is Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss. My goal as a Torah educator is not merely to teach my students my OWN hashkafah. Rather, my goal is to equip them with the foundations, the methodological training, and the tools which will enable them to arrive at their OWN understanding of Judaism and cultivate their OWN relationship with Hashem and His Torah. This podcast is devoted to the shiurim I give which are geared specifically towards that end. As such, the range of topics covered here will be diverse. There will be shiurim on Jewish philosophy, Chumash methodology, aggadic midrashim, maybe even some non-Jewish philosophy as well. Merriam-Webster defines "laboratory" as a place providing opportunity for experimentation, observation, or practice in a field of study. I call this podcast "Machshavah Lab" because this is where we will conduct Torah "experiments" by exploring questions, texts, and ideas in an effort to develop our machshavah in a "hands on," exploratory, firsthand manner.© 2026 Machshavah Lab スピリチュアリティ ユダヤ教 哲学 社会科学

    Eikev: All You Need is Fear

    Synopsis: This is the audio version of the 5-page article I wrote and published on rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/ on 7/31/26 titled: Eikev: All You Need is Fear. According to R. Chanina, Moshe tells us that Hashem asks only fear of us, and only fear is in our hands. But the pesukim list far more. The Torah Temimah and the Rambam provide opposite solutions.

    The Torah content for the month of Av is sponsored by Aliza Feder in honor of the yahrzeit of her mother, Mindy Pincus a”h. I had the pleasure of getting to know Mindy during my first year of yeshiva. She and her husband Gersh hosted me so often that she told me I could assume that a place would automatically be set at their table every Friday night. I will always remember her as a living embodiment of chesed and hachnasas orchim.

    Synopsis: This is the audio version of the 3-page article I wrote and published on rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/ on 7/24/26 titled: Vaeschanan: Rashba on What “Shema Yisrael” Demands of Us. There's a lot to think about in the Shema, but how many of us pause to consider what the word "Shema" is instructing us to do? Thankfully, the Rashba provides a comprehensive answer.

    Tishah b'Av 5786: Kinnah #18 - And You Said ... Why? (or Why We Learn Iyov on Tishah b'Av)

    Length of audio: 1 hour 16 minutes
    Synopsis: This is the recording of the Tishah b'Av shiur I gave at the Island Synagogue on 7/23/26. The good news is that this might be the most important Tishah b'Av shiur I've given. It's certainly my favorite, both because of the ideas and because it went according to plan (which doesn't always happen with my Tishah b'Av shiurim).

    The "bad" news is that if you are currently listening to my in-depth Iyov shiurim (in my Machshavah Lab series for women), I will recommend that you NOT listen to this shiur this year. My goal was to capitalize on the year I spent immersed in Sefer Iyov by choosing a kinnah that spoke directly to its themes. I chose to convey some core Iyov ideas to the members of my shul, knowing that most of them would likely not learn Sefer Iyov in-depth. For thsoe who are learning Iyov in-depth with me through my series, you will be better off if you encounter those ideas in the proper seder and at the right time. As the Rambam wrote to R. Yosef ben Yehuda: "My purpose in this is that the truth should present itself to your mind in its proper order, and that you should not hit upon it by mere chance."
