The month of Iyar is uniquely defined by the mitzvah of counting the Omer, which creates a state of total alignment where every day becomes equally holy. Spiritual growth moves through three phases—initial rescue from above (Nissan), active refinement of the animal soul’s passions (Iyar), and ultimate integration with the Divine (Sivan). The halachic nature of counting Sefira reveals that even if our current efforts feel limited, they possess the unique power to build the reality of the future redemption. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Emor in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1.

Shmita teaches us that Torah is not about escaping the physical world, but sanctifying it so completely that even our engagement with nature becomes an act of transcendence. Har Sinai shows us that true greatness requires the paradox of standing tall with absolute confidence while remaining completely humble before Hashem. The deepest form of avodah is not serving Hashem for personal growth, reward, or even spiritual refinement—but simply because His will is your will. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Behar in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1.

Live from the SoulWords House on Rosh Chodesh Sivan, Rabbi Shais Taub, Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin, and Bruce Backman come together for a raw and wide-ranging conversation honoring the yahrzeit of Franz Kafka.
Why does Kafka continue to speak so powerfully to the Jewish soul?
What is the spiritual root of alienation?
Why do sensitive souls often feel like strangers in the world?
And what happens when Kafka’s writings are read through the lens of Torah and Chassidus?

True oneness is achieved not by avoiding multiplicity, but by harmonizing seemingly opposite forces under a single, divine reality. Torah study possesses an intrinsic, boundless value that transcends practical application, serving as the ultimate unifier between a Jew and the Creator. Shavuos is a propitious time to establish unwavering resolutions in daily study cycles, specifically through the tracking of Chumash, Tehillim, and Tanya. Giving the Torah in a desolate wilderness teaches that one must dive directly into intensive study immediately, rather than waiting for material or personal affairs to be perfectly organized. Pure obedience and physical action, such as marching on Tahalucha to share knowledge with others, allow a person to transcend the inherent limitations of intellect and emotion. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Shavuos in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2.

True Jewish leadership, exemplified by Moshe and Yehoshua, means embracing and uplifting every Jew, even when doing so requires self-sacrifice. Tzitzis must be attached to a tallis because while the tzitzis represent the individual mitzvos, the tallis represents their transcendent source, teaching that we cannot fully grasp the true nature of the mitzvos and must therefore observe them in a way that transcends logic, thereby eliciting blessings from Hashem that transcend nature. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Shlach in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2.

The crouching stance of the lion in Bilaam's prophecy demonstrates that even when subjected to the physical constraints of exile, the Jewish people maintain an untamed, independent spiritual nature that is periodically reinforced by unmistakable, nature-shattering miracles. The deceptive spiritual authority claimed by the negative forces of Bilaam and Amalek is completely neutralized when a person internalizes a parallel matrix of active awe and love of Hashem. The psychological argument from Laban that one must temporarily disconnect from G-d and compromise spiritual values to achieve material career success is defeated by implementing a spiritual guardrail, which transforms mundane daily work into a holy ascent rooted in the absolute surrender of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Balak in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2.
