There is Nothing Like a Shabbos Table

B"H

Four generations. One table. Endless holiness. ✨

The Shabbos table has always been more than just a meal—it’s a sacred space before God. A place of warmth, love, and connection, where mishpacha (family) comes together to celebrate the joy of Shabbos.

This video is dedicated to our beloved patriarch, Dr. Zaidy Marvin Tile, whose vision and devotion made our Shabbos table meaningful and beautiful for decades.

The Soul of the Sea of Galilee

B"H

The Kinneret, the only lake in the Holy Land holds a name filled with meaning.

In Hebrew, Kinneret connects to the lyre, the instrument of King David, whose music brought peace to King Saul’s troubled soul. 🎶

Just like music soothes the spirit, sitting by the waters of the Kinneret can bring calm, light, and cleansing to the neshama (soul). ✨

A reminder that sometimes, the deepest healing comes from stillness, music, and water. Th To watch Torah Thoughts in video format, click HERE

The Spirituality of Being a doctor

B"H

Being a doctor isn’t just a job, it’s a spiritual calling. 🙏✨

My late grandfather, an esteemed orthopedic surgeon, lived this every day, touching lives, restoring mobility, and truly being an ‘angel’ for his patients.

It’s a profound privilege to use the gifts we’re given to bring health and hope to others. 💙🩺

Seeking Stillness by Calm Water

B"H

There’s something about sitting by calm waters that quiets the soul. ✨

In Ontario this summer, I was reminded how a still lake can feel like Shabbos itself, inviting us to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with Hashem’s presence in the gentle sounds and reflections of the water. 🌊💙

Take a moment to pause. Sit by the water. Let it bring you back to peace.

The Most Important Lesson of All

B"H

“Do teshuva today, as if it were your last day.”

Rabbi Eliezer’s timeless teaching reminds us: life is fragile, and every moment is a gift.

As we enter Elul a month of reflection and return, I’m remembering my dear grandfather, mentor, Dr. Marvin Teitel ז״ל. His life was a living lesson in love, gratitude, and purpose.

Let’s live each day fully. Love deeply. Never take life or the people in it—for granted. ♥

The Torah of Treasuring Time

B"H

Ever notice how one week at summer camp feels like a whole year of connection, joy, and memories? ⛺✨

That’s the idea of “camp time” — time that’s so full and intense, it stretches and deepens.

In Judaism, we have something even more powerful: Shabbat.

A single moment of mindful Torah study, heartfelt prayer, or quality time with loved ones on Shabbat can be worth days, even weeks of ordinary time.

When we’re truly present, time expands.

Let’s make our Shabbat and our daily life feel like “camp time.”

A Jewish Prayer for Summer Travels

B"H

Before every journey, there’s a moment to pause. To remember that travel isn’t just movement from one place to another l.

It’s a chance to carry our connection to God wherever we go.

Tefillat HaDerech, the Jewish traveler’s prayer, reminds us to be grateful for the ability to travel, to ask for safety, and to keep our hearts open to joy and peace along the way.

Wherever life takes you, bring Him with you. ❤

The Torah of a Vast View of Water

B"H

There’s something about being near a vast body of water, the ocean, a big lake—that feels so cleansing for the soul.

Looking out at the endless horizon with no obstructions opens our perspective, reminding us of Hashem’s creation and the beauty of life. The sound of the waves is like the voice of Hashem, washing over our hearts and minds.

Next time you can, find a beach or a quiet lake. Sit. Watch. Listen. Let your eyes and ears be refreshed by this divine gift.

The Spirituality of Swimming

B"H

As an Orthodox Jewish rabbi, one of my greatest joys and deepest ways to feel Hashem’s presence is through swimming.

Whether I’m floating, standing still, or snorkeling to explore the underwater world, the experience is both physically and spiritually rejuvenating.

In Judaism, the mikvah, a ritual bath, symbolizes hope and the chance to begin again.

When I’m in the water, I feel that same renewal… a sense of being alive, connected, and embraced by God’s presence.
