Adar is here, and with it comes the call to increase our joy!
But how do we tap into real, lasting simcha?
Rav Shlomo Katz shares a powerful insight on how Shabbat holds the key.
By embracing the calm, pleasure, and deep connections of Shabbat, we can cultivate true happiness—not just for one day, but all week long.
And as we prepare for Purim, this mindset helps us step into the spirit of joy in the most meaningful way.

Shabbat Zachor reminds us to never forget what Amalek did to us
but also to believe in the power of transformation.
Even the darkest forces, like Haman’s sons, can find redemption.
We remember the past, but we also hold onto hope for the future.

Why do some Jews blame themselves for the hatred they face?
From the Spanish Inquisition to Nazi Germany and even in the Purim story this troubling phenomenon of Jewish self-hatred repeats itself.
It’s so important to have resilience, strength, and embrace our Jewish identity with pride!

The highest levels of success whether in our material lives, spiritual growth, or relationships—are not achieved alone.
The Talmud teaches that we cannot free ourselves from our own inner exile;
we need mentors, teachers, and friends to guide us.
The right people help us see our strengths, overcome our blind spots, and push us toward greatness.
Seek out those who uplift you, challenge you, and believe in your potential. True growth happens through connection.

Every Friday night, before Kedushah, a beautiful Jewish tradition takes place, blessing our children and grandchildren.
For boys, we say, ‘May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh’—the first brothers in Jewish history to live in harmony.
For girls, we say, ‘May God make you like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah’—our four matriarchs who shaped our people.
This moment is more than just words; it’s a powerful way to instill values of unity, connection, and love across generations. ✨

Children are at the heart of the Jewish future. ❤
The high birth rate in Israel and Jewish communities reflects our deep love and commitment to the next generation.
Through Torah learning and teaching, we pass down our values, wisdom, and hope for a brighter world. A world where ‘boys and girls will once again play in the streets of Jerusalem’—a vision of peace, love, and redemption. ✨

The Jewish people are eternal, always choosing life as our spiritual mission.
The Kaddish prayer reminds us to sanctify God's name through how we live, not just how we remember.
May we see a world of light, not loss, and God's name exalted for all.

In Jewish law, reuniting with a hostage isn’t just an emotional moment, it’s a deeply spiritual one.
The blessings of Shehecheyanu and Mechaye Hameisim express our gratitude for life and our faith in ultimate redemption.
As we celebrate those who have returned, we also hold space for the families still waiting.
May they find strength, and may we soon see the return of all captives and the fulfillment of geulah.

The cries, the tears, the pain, the agony, the anger, the silence, it doesn’t go anywhere. It goes Above and as our Parsha, Mishpatim tells us, there is a Judge.
Hashem Yikoom Damam. Please Hashem comfort the families of our hostages, of blessed memory and bring us to the Great Day, speedily in our days.

Snow isn’t Just cold it’s holy.
A symbol of purity, cleanliness, and a deep connection to Hashem.
The natural world is a gateway to praising Hashem and discovering the Torah.
Just as snow has its own song, we too can tune into the way nature speaks His praise.

Shabbat teaches us a powerful lesson in trust: Just like the Israelites gathered a double portion of manna,
we, too, can step back and rest, knowing that what we need will be provided.
Take the day to recharge, your sustenance is already prepared.

According to the Talmud, three things expand a person’s consciousness: a beautiful home, a beautiful partner, and beautiful Jewish books. The Lubavitcher Rebbe taught that displaying Jewish books proudly reflects our inner spiritual values. One great recommendation? The Living Torah by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan—bringing the stories to life with clarity and depth!

When feeling angry, instead of reacting impulsively, you might choose to respond calmly and thoughtfully.
This approach aligns with the Torah’s teaching that ‘a soft answer settles rage,’ highlighting the power of measured responses in diffusing anger.
By practicing opposite action, you can gain greater control over your emotional responses and communicate your needs more effectively.

Did you know there’s a halacha about Friday meals before Shabbat?
The goal is to avoid heavy meals too close to Shabbat so we can come to the Shabbat table with appetite and excitement.
Instead, the Mishnah Berurah recommends tasting the Shabbat foods earlier in the day and that way enhancing both our anticipation and awareness of the Shabbat experience.

According to Rabbi Nachman the Jewish mystical teachings connect freeing hostages with the blessing of children and building faithful homes.
In this powerful insight, Rebbe Nachman teaches that helping to release hostages is a sacred responsibility, one shared even by the greatest of leaders.
The hope?
That those freed can rebuild their lives, create trusting families, and bring us closer to redemption.
A beautiful reminder of the power of compassion and action to shape our world.
