    Journey through Nach: Shoftim 13 - Birth of Shimshon
    2026/07/06
    Why did the angel announcing the birth of Shimshon (Samson) appear to his mother and not his father, and why did the strongest man in Tanach need to be a nazir before he was even born? This shiur on Shoftim (Judges) chapter 13 traces who the Philistines really were, why Israel's savior came from the tribe of Dan, and what the mysterious angel's hidden name reveals about the miracle of a barren woman having a child. Along the way we meet the unsung hero of the story, Shimshon's unnamed mother, whose quiet faith stands in sharp contrast to her husband Manoach's anxious questions and hints at the destiny of her famous son.

  • Why's of Judasim - Blessings

    Why's of Judasim - Blessings
    2026/07/19
    This installment of The Whys of Judaism explores the world of blessings, asking why Judaism insists that we pause and acknowledge God before enjoying anything in this world. It traces how brachos evolved from spontaneous personal expressions into the standardized formulas we know today, and explains the logic behind their many varieties, from blessings on food and mitzvos to blessings of praise and wonder. Along the way it tackles curious questions, such as why there is no blessing on giving charity, why we say 100 blessings a day, why we remove the knife before Birkas Hamazon, and why Ashkenazim and Sephardim differ on the besamim blessing at Havdalah.
