    IBR Ep 120- Parashah Bo- There Can Be Miracles…
    In Parsha Bo, we see the continuation of HaShem’s using nature to inflict His will on the Egyptian Pharaoh. Have you ever thought critically about how involved HaShem is in nature? Whether back then or today, how do we think about this relationship? In today’s episode we’re going to talk about 6 types of responses, 3 types of people who disbelieve in HaShem and 3 types who believe. Which one are you? More accurately, how much of each type are you?

    While we all may believe we have a calling of God in the Kingdom, a specific role to fulfill, it can often be hard to internalize and really believe that we do. It can also be very challenging to sift through all of the baggage we carry and get to a place where we can actualize our potential. In today’s episode, we are going to talk about what it means to become a Tzaddik.

    IBR Ep 104- So Shavuot…Now What?
    Shavuot often doesn't get it's fair share of attention. How often do we celebrate it and move on to the next festival? Just because it's a one day festival doesn't mean it lacks importance and relevance and isn't worthy of our complete and total attention and observance. Shavuot's impacts should also be realized each and every day following, way into the future.

    This week, we share a throw-back teaching on Parashat Emor from 2018. We often, much like the traditions we come from, focus on only a few “pet” Scriptures. These tend to be things about dietary laws, calendar, and the Name. In this teaching, we invite you to look past those Scriptures that are familiar and easy in order to gain broader wisdom from the Torah.
