A Land of Conscious Struggle - שלח

Ayelet Horowitz — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 09:00:00 +0300

טובה הארץ מאוד מאוד- the Land (israel) is very very good.

What is the meaning of מאוד מאוד/ very very?

In a time full of struggle, hardship and war, we ask ourselves: what is so good about this land?

Are we just machines?- the power of thought

Ayelet Horowitz — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 09:00:00 +0300

According to some scientists, our brain is really just a highly complex machine. Meaning, our choices, actions and behaviours can be predicted (technically. Its just really hard). According to this theory, free will is not actually real.

Do you think we have no free will?

Rabbi Avi and His daughter Ayelet delve into a philosophical discussion about science, thought, and Jewish philosophy

A Family Affair - V'Yetze

Prayer- the refinement of the will

Ayelet Horowitz — Thu, 29 Jun 2023 14:45:00 +0300

What is the big deal about a guy going up to a mountain to curse the Jewish people in the desert?

What are we expecting to happen?

Sudden earth-shaking catastrophe?

Join us as we discuss the power of words, prayer, and the refinement of will.

What is Faith? | EP. 50

Ayelet Horowitz — Wed, 19 Apr 2023 09:00:00 +0300

How do we understand faith?

Is it the same for things, people, and God?

How can we connect to the idea of faith through the Pesach experience?

Join us as we discuss faith in a way that sheds light on ourselves, our relationships and our connection with God.

Is Community a Thing? | EP. 49

Ayelet Horowitz — Wed, 19 Apr 2023 09:00:00 +0300

During the peak moment of the transition from slavery to freedom (the plague of the firstborns and the sacrificing of the Pesach offering), the Hebrew people experienced their first revelation.

Yet, instead of mass revelation like that of Sinai, the people congregate into small units- communities. It is in this form that the first national revelation was experienced.

What is the significance of community?

Join us as we delve into community, concentric circles, and human connection.

Clothing to Honor and Glorify | Ep. 48

Ayelet Horowitz — Thu, 09 Mar 2023 09:00:00 +0300

In Parashat Tetzave and Megillat Esther, there is a big stress on clothing.

What is the role of clothing? How can we make sense of the importance they are given in both Torah and the Purim story? And most importantly, how can we practically use this insight daily?

Tree Hugging and the Ramban | Ep. 47

Ayelet Horowitz — Fri, 10 Feb 2023 08:00:00 +0300

Miracles - How are we supposed to understand them? Out or within the laws of nature?

Are the laws of nature divine? If so, should we see everything as miraculous as the leaving of Egypt and everything that came with it?

Does our belief in Gds providence oblige us to see G-d in Nature the way we see His hand in world events?

What is the Ramban's approach to Pantheism (the belief that nature is a power in itself)?

FOOD for Thought Ep. 46

Ayelet Horowitz — Wed, 08 Feb 2023 13:00:00 +0300

Parashat B’Shalach

Let's talk food! More specifically, Mon (Mana) - the divine bread that fell from the sky

As children we may have envisioned Mon (Mana) to be this magical food that rained down on the jewish people when they were wandering in the desert and that it was the most fantastic thing ever! And maybe it was. But it didn't last. The people complain! Why?

Don't we all dream of food falling from the sky? Ideal? Scary? There is something about this food that doesn't sit well with the wandering and newly forming Jewish people.

Food is something we all relate to because we all need it. Our attitudes towards it may vary, but there is something basic that we all share, even with the Jews walking in the desert centuries earlier.

Let's talk about it!

Pro Life vs Pro Choice | EP. 45

Ayelet Horowitz — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 22:00:00 +0300

In this week's Parasha, Shemot, we have two unnamed heroines championing the value of life and preventing mass infanticide.

Join us as we take a deep dive into the pro-life vs. pro-choice boxing ring:

What does each position entail? What value is being upheld?
What are the consequences of taking the pro-choice stance?
What are the halachic considerations regarding abortion, the woman's and the fetus's life?
Is life worth anything if we have no choice?
What is the Torah’s perspective on life and choice?

Illuminating our inner world

Ayelet Horowitz — Wed, 14 Dec 2022 09:00:00 +0300

This week's discussion is one that ties Chanukah and Parashat VaYeshev together through the lenses of inner dialogue.

Delving into both the traditional Chanukah story we know as well as the apocryphal account of this event, we are left wondering:

What is Chanukah all about? What are we actually celebrating? Why is what happened then important to us today?

This week's Parasha is one that is full of personal accounts, thoughts, and introspection.

What is the timeless message the Torah offers us through said accounts?

How can we possibly merge these two topics?

Is faith alone enough | EP. 41

Ayelet Horowitz — Fri, 11 Nov 2022 11:00:00 +0300

Parashat Va’Yera

This week’s reading is EXPLODING with topics, fundamental ideas, and impactful events in forming what will become the Jewish people.

Hard as it was to stay on topic, Rabbi Horowitz and his daughter, Ayelet, delve into the centrality of acting on our beliefs.

When Abraham sees guests, he runs to greet and host them. Later, when God informs him of His plans to destroy the city of Sodom, Abraham debates with Him on behalf of this condemned city! Lastly, in the culmination of this parashah, Abraham is challenged with the seemingly impossible act of sacrificing his only son to God, and he follows through!

What do you think? Is faith in itself enough, or must it be brought to fruition through action?

Let's shmooze!

Ep. 40 Chosenness

Ayelet Horowitz — Wed, 02 Nov 2022 09:00:00 +0300

What does it mean to be the Chosen People?

The word Chosen brings up a lot of emotions, associations, and gut reactions.

The topic of whether there is a chosen people is a very charged subject, understandably so.

What does it mean to be chosen?
Who decides chosenness?
Can others join in this special mission?
Is this fair?
What does this mean for those who are not chosen?

Join Rabbi Avi Horowitz and his daughter, Ayelet, as they delve into these questions and, mainly, into the what and why of the chosen people.

Ep. 39 Consciousness: The purpose of creation

Ayelet Horowitz — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 09:00:00 +0300

Bereishit / Genesis

Why does the Torah start with creation? What about this is relevant to us, back then and now?

Does it matter to us that God created the world in 6 days? Is it important to know that on the first day, He created light and darkness, and on the 6, He created man? Why not just start with the creation of man and call it a day?

Furthermore, as a believer in God and His Torah, is it possible to believe in the scientific version of creation? Are divine creation and scientific evolution mutually exclusive?

Join my father and me as we delve into these questions and bring up all kinds of thoughts, ideas, and conversations that can bring more meaning and understanding to our lives.

EP. 38 Rosh Hashana- thoughts about life and death

Ayelet Horowitz — Fri, 23 Sep 2022 13:00:00 +0300

Rosh Hashanah is known as the Days of Awe. And yet, what jumps out of the pages of our prayer books is life and death.

In this week's conversation, my father and I talk about death, our thoughts and feelings about it, and how it plays an important role in our understanding of The Day of Judgment, motivation, and ourselves.

Gmar chatima tova to you all!

This topic comes up as a commandment in this week's Parsha and is a general theme in the month of Elul, and is a focal point on Rosh Hashana.

Join my father and me as we discuss justice: how we understand it secularly and religiously and its role in our personal and communal lives.

In addition, don't miss a beautiful new perspective on teshuva, returning, and Rosh Hashana!

EP. 35 Afterlife...

Ayelet Horowitz — Wed, 31 Aug 2022 09:00:00 +0300

One of Judaism's fundamental principles is the belief in an afterlife that we go on.

However, despite its importance, there is very little said about it.

How could that be? Shouldn't there be pages and pages of details, discussion, and commentary on this topic?

Join my father and me as we dive deep into creation, spirituality, and the unknown.

Let's talk about The Afterlife.

Ep. 34 Mourning and National Identity

Ayelet Horowitz — Sun, 31 Jul 2022 09:00:00 +0300

Rosh Chodesh is known to be a festive day, and yet on Rosh Chodesh Av, we don't put on our nicer clothes, whip out the music and make an extra special meal. On Rosh Chodesh, Av G-d tells the Navi that this is the time that He has picked to break His Chosen. WHAT?!

What is the deal with this pasuk?
How can we relate to the 9 days of AV?
Is there a point to abstinence from pleasurable activities?
What is the greater purpose behind the “ do’s and don'ts” of AV?
How can we connect the low, mourning month of Av to the high, elating month of Elul?

Join us for a meaningful, relevant, and important conversation about national mourning, identity, self-reflection, and motivation.

EP. 33 Morality Outside the Law

Ayelet Horowitz — Thu, 21 Jul 2022 21:00:00 +0300

A man's wife is dying. The only solution is to get her medicine which he can't afford. Would it be ok for the man to steal the medication from the pharmacy?

In this week's reading, Parshat Pinchas, we are privy to a zealous act that went beyond the law but not against it. It was outside the law.

How do we understand morality beyond the construct of law? What do we do when the answer to a problem is not clearly, morally, and legally given to us?

Join us for a conversation that touches on the differences between men's and women's psychology, philosophy and history, motivation, and responsibility.

Ep. 32 Politics and Power

Ayelet Horowitz — Mon, 18 Jul 2022 09:00:00 +0300

In this week's Parsha we talk about Balaam and Balak and the fact that they had wanted to curse the Jewish people. How do we understand the concept of a curse?

In order to understand this better, join my father and I as we discuss the concept of politics and power and how they can influence others for the good and not so good.

As always, we hope our conversation inspires you and gives you a lot to think about and discuss with others.

Ep. 31 Tikun Hamiddot

Ayelet Horowitz — Fri, 01 Jul 2022 09:00:00 +0300

In this week's Parasha we see Moshe displaying anger. Some commentaries say that it is because of this that Moshe does not end up entering the land of Israel.

WHAT?! WHY?!

In order to understand this better, join my father and I as we discuss the concept of Middot- Character traits, the concept of personal growth and development, and dealing with extremes.

As always, we hope our conversation inspires you and gives you a lot to think about and discuss with others.

Ep. 30 The Death Of Healthy Discourse

Ayelet Horowitz — Fri, 24 Jun 2022 07:00:00 +0300

In this week's discussion, we discuss the rebellion of Korach, modern day discourse- or lack of it, and delve into the fundamentals of healthy discourse that we can learn from this parsha, our halachic rulings and human nature.

Why is korach’s argument seen so negatively?

What can we learn about having constructive discourse from this example?

How does our culture today affect how we have conversations?

Is there such a thing as healthy discourse? Can I present myself as the holder of truth and yet still have a conversation with someone who opposes my truth? What about the way I feel about it?

Ep. 29 What do you want??

Ayelet Horowitz — Thu, 16 Jun 2022 09:00:00 +0300

In this week's episode, Rabbi Avi Horowitz and his daughter Ayelet delve into the complexities of wanting: its importance and the pitfalls of its lack.

Knowing what you want is crucial to living a purposeful, directed, and meaningful life. And yet, it is so difficult to know what you want! Why?

In this week's Torah reading, we are presented with the spies who slander the land of Israel and cry out in fear about their inevitable doom (or so they think).

Does fear have anything to do with your ability to desire?

How does today's culture of inclusivity and our exposure to the world influence our wants and desires?

Ep. 28 Is Desire Bad?

Ayelet Horowitz — Sun, 12 Jun 2022 09:00:00 +0300

In this Parasha we see the Jewish people expressing a desire for meat while reminiscing on “the good old days” and Moshe putting up his hands in surrender, “ am I their mother?! I'd rather be dead than lead this nation!”

What is the deal with this drama? This isn't the first time the nation has complained or erred. And Moshe has intervened on the people's behalf for much greater things than the desire for meat!

In order to understand this, we need to understand DESIRE.

Join our conversation about the nature of desire and how this concept plays out both for the people of Israel more than 2000 years ago and for us today!

Ep. 27 Hareidi Education

Ayelet Horowitz — Fri, 03 Jun 2022 09:00:00 +0300

This week Ayelet and her father, Rabbi Avi Horowitz, talk about Chareidi education.

Haredi education is most commonly known for its complete absence of secular subjects and total focus on the learning of religious text - Torah.

Let's take a deeper glimpse at where this started from and what the consequences of this system has both on the haredim and on Israel.

What is real education and when did it start changing into what we know today?
Are secular subjects bad? Why is the haredi movement so strongly opposed to learning them?
What are the consequences within the haredi society and to israel as a whole?

This week Ayelet and her father, Rabbi Avi Horowitz, talk about Lag Baomer. Traditionally this is the day that the students of Rabbi Akiva stopped dying, but why is this such a holiday, and why is it celebrated so much?

What is Lag Ba'moer?
Does Judaism need secret teachings?
What is the real purpose of Kaballah?

This week Ayelet and her father, Rabbi Avi Horowitz, talk about some controversial topics surrounding the special days of Yom Hazikaron and Yom Haatzmaut. Yom Hazikaron commemorates the Israeli soldiers lost in the wars for Israel's independence and Yom Haatzamut is Israels' independence day.

Is there common ground that we can all agree on?

Why is the Exodus narrative interrupted by so many laws that are seemingly unrelated to the Exodus itself?
