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.”

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. ❤

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.

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.

Once a day of joy and matchmaking in ancient Israel, Tu B’Av is still considered an et ratzon — an auspicious time for finding one’s match.
To those still searching: don’t lose hope. Keep your heart open. Hashem is always working behind the scenes to bring souls together.

Antisemitism isn’t new — it evolves, just like Rabbi Sacks called it: a “mutating virus.”
But through it all, we hold onto the truth of the Torah. We may not be perfect, but we know the truth is on our side.
Praying for the safe return of our hostages, and for the day when Hashem’s kindness and presence will be clear to all.

We ache for the Beit Hamikdash. We long for the Geulah.
But in the wait, there’s a call for patience, faith, and quiet action.
It’s not just about crying for what’s missing. It’s about showing up every day—with hope, with trust, and with the belief that every small deed brings us closer.

B"H Tisha B’Av marks the destruction of the Temple, yet our Sages teach that on this very day, the Messiah is born.
We must raise our children with the values and vision to be worthy of his arrival.
We must prepare ourselves, through tefillah, teshuvah, and even immersing in the mikveh—to emerge with renewed hope and clarity.
May we see mashiach soon, Amen!

As Tisha B’Av approaches, we’re reminded that prayer isn’t just about words, it’s about connection.
We await the Third Beis Hamikdash, where prayer will transcend boundaries and be open to every soul.
May this Tisha B’Av deepen our tefillah and our longing for something greater.
