I just published a trailer for my YouTube channel.

It’s not flashy. Just an honest invitation to learn Torah that’s rooted, thoughtful, and open to real life.

If you’ve been looking for a space like that, maybe this is for you.

Over the last months, I’ve just been trying to keep @timothysnyder.bsky.social’s advice from On Tyranny in the front of my mind.

We are in the thick of it now, and we must stay grounded.

If you haven’t read the book, here’s the list from his newsletter.

They’re all home.
There are no more hostages.

Barukh ata Hashem, matir asurim.
Blessed is God, who returns the bound.

I just want to cry from relief.

I know it is silly, but I'm all about celebrating small wins.

Here are the next videos I'm planning on releasing in the near future.

1. How to put up a mezuzah
2. How to light Shabbat candles
3. How to recite Shabbat Kiddush

The Trump-Vance admin is exactly what they said they were going to be.

Cruel.

ICE is a manifestation of that cruelty.
It cannot remain.

Ok, strange question:

I'm moving soon, and so the background in my office/Zoom/YouTube videos will be changing. I have a ton of meaningful objects in my background that I've never explained.

Do you think people would care if I made a video about those objects and why they are there?

Rabbi Adir Yolkut and I took a little time to reflect on the attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney, and talk about some of the Torah that is helping us process and hold this moment as we enter Hanukkah.

The people who actually need to do the soul searching at this moment are unable of doing so.
They are incapable and unwilling to see how their voices combine to create violence against Jews.
I don't know the reason. Some of it is just Jew hatred, some of it is ignorance, carelessness.

To my fellow Yidden, today is going to be a lot. Like a lot a lot. I feel it too.

It is important to take care of yourself.

You can and should take breaks from the news, play with your kids, spend time with friends and family.

There’s a trauma black hole waiting for you, so you must be vigilant.

Remember:

The Bondi Beach Hanukkah event was FOR FAMILIES.

They attacked Jewish kids.
December 14, 2025 at 5:13 PM
In 2018, a Shabbat attack in Pittsburgh.
2023, a Simchat Torah attack in Israel.
2025, a Yom Kippur attack in the UK.
And 2025 again, a Hanukkah attack in Australia.

There were more attacks before and in between these.

But the pattern of attacking Jews on our holidays is abundantly clear.

Even sitting in my own home I can feel it in the air.

I'm going to be teaching an 8-session Talmud class in person in the DC area starting in a few weeks.

It will cover interesting sections inspired by or connected to the weekly Torah portion.

If you're in the area! Lemme know, I can send you the details! It would be fun to learn together in person!

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.
