  Building a Personal Relationship with Hashem (31): Real Teshuva Starts with a Hug

  Sep 6, 202637 min

  "If you believe you can break it, believe you can fix it." In this soul-stirring shiur , Rav Lebish Hundert (Yeshivat Simchat Shlomo) dives into the heart of Rebbe Nachman’s teachings on the inner architecture of Teshuva (Return). Moving beyond the guilt-based models of repentance, Rav Lebish explores the radical Breslov perspective: that our connection to the Infinite is essential, unbreakable, and exists entirely independent of our behavior. In this episode, we explore: The Smashed Kitchen Metaphor: Why a husband and wife make up before they clean up the mess—and how this defines our relationship with Hashem. The Three Stages of Return: From reclaiming your status as a "beloved child" to the mystical "repair" of the world's spiritual energy. The "Disease" of Love: A powerful insight from the Song of Songs—why the love of God is a "contagion" you catch by surrounding yourself with people who are already "infected." Fixing the Past: How the power of the soul allows us to "time travel" and turn our greatest mistakes into our most valuable merits ( Zechuyot ). Teshuva from Shabbat: Why the journey toward the High Holidays should start from a place of rest, joy, and connection rather than fear. Based on the teachings of the Chidushay Harim , the Arizal , and the Tanya , and inspired by the lectures of Rav Kivak, this session is a roadmap for anyone looking to heal their relationship with themselves and the Divine. Join us for a journey into the "inner dimensions" of Jewish practice where talk is more than prayer—it’s friendship with the Infinite. Recorded Sept 3, 2026.

  Prepare for Purim (10): Rosh Hashanah– Rewriting Your History

  Sep 4, 20261h 26m

  "Why is Rosh Hashanah like Purim?" Rav Leibish Hundert dives into the deep waters of Megillat Esther , exploring the unseen spiritual forces that shaped the miracle. We uncover the cosmic struggle between Shamshai the Scribe—who sought to erase our history—and the Angel Gabriel, who tirelessly rewrote it. In this soulful shiur from Yerushalayim, Rav Leibish explains Gabriel’s unique role as the Angel of Gevurah (Judgment) and how he transforms judgment into a "thunder" that fixes the heart. Discover why Purim is considered the safest day of the year to find your true voice, the spiritual mystery behind the Seudah (festive meal), and how to transform the judgments in your life into the sweetness of the Purim light.

  Parshas Nitzavim-Vayelech: Confused Love

  Sep 4, 20261h 5m

  "Is our relationship with the Torah a cold inheritance, or a living engagement?" In this moving shiur from Yeshivat Simchat Shlomo in Yerushalayim, Rav Leibish Hundert explores the inner dimensions of Kiddushin (betrothal) and what it means to truly "own" our spiritual lives. In this episode, we dive into: The Pikadon (The Deposit): Why the Torah is described as a deposit we already hold, and the one thing we must do to turn that deposit into a marriage with the Divine. The Parable of Reuven & Shimon: A deep, psychological dive into friendship, public shaming, and the "secret" behind our ugliest deeds. Sins as Distorted Love: Understanding the Chassidic insight that our failures are often just "confused love" and a desperate cry for connection with Hashem. The Power of the Prutah: Why the smallest coin—and our smallest, most imperfect mitzvot—are enough to sustain a cosmic bond, even in the face of "Greek" intellectualism. Rav Leibish weaves together Halacha, the long-running story of the Jewish people in Eretz Yisrael, and the radical compassion of the Tzaddikim to show us how to find joy ( Simcha ) in the middle of the "ups and downs."

  Learning with Reb Shlomo (67): The Day the Clock Stopped

  Aug 31, 202622 min

  In the town of Streten, they used to say that when the Rebbe finished the closing prayers of Yom Kippur, he was actually a day and a half behind everyone else. For him, time didn't exist—only the interface between the soul and the Source. In this deep and evocative shiur , Rav Leibish Hundert (Yeshivat Simchat Shlomo) dives into the mystery of the "Two Goats" of Yom Kippur and the radical idea of "serving G-d with your Yetzer Hara (evil inclination)." In this episode, we explore: The Rebbe of Streten’s Clock: A legendary story of a Yom Kippur that transcended the physical laws of time. Abraham vs. David: Why David "killed" his negative inclination, but Abraham did something much more difficult—he made a Brit (a covenant) with it. The Two Energies: Understanding the energy required to "do good" versus the awareness needed to "not do bad." Yom Kippur as a Personal Shabbat: Why Shabbat is for the worlds, but Yom Kippur— Shabbat Shabbaton Lachem —is specifically for the ascent of your unique soul. Integrating the Young Boy Within: A moving reflection on identifying the younger versions of ourselves that still drive our adult behaviors, and how to bring them into the "Holy of Holies." Yom Kippur is more than a laundry list of confessions; it is the one day of the year where we are permitted to leave the "math" of our lives behind and step into an unconditional embrace. Recorded at Yeshivat Simchat Shlomo, Jerusalem. Recorded August 30, 2026

  Learning with Reb Shlomo (66): Reclaiming the Joy of Yom Kippur

  Aug 31, 20261 hour

  What if Yom Kippur isn’t about the weight of your debts, but the celebration of being completely forgiven—and given a "new loan" to start again? In this moving shiur , Rav Leibish Hundert dives into the radical teachings of Reb Shlomo Carlebach to uncover the hidden Simcha (joy) of the holiest day of the year. Shlomo used to say that spending all of Yom Kippur counting sins is "almost a chillul Hashem." Instead, Rav Leibish invites us into the Kodesh Kodashim (Holy of Holies) of our own souls to experience a connection with the Divine that transcends time, space, and judgment. In this episode, we explore: The Bank Analogy: Why Yom Kippur is the ultimate "reset" for our spiritual ledger. Childish vs. Childlike: Moving past rigid self-criticism to a place of wonder and "newness" ( Chadesh Yamenu K’Kedem ). The Secret of the Satan: Understanding the Gematria of HaSatan and why the "prosecutor" is silent on this one day. Confession as a Love Song: Transforming the Viduy (confession) from a list of failures into a melody of longing for a Beloved. Whether you are preparing for the High Holidays or looking to heal your relationship with Teshuva , this teaching offers a path to stop hiding from Hashem and start hiding with Hashem. Recorded at Yeshivat Simchat Shlomo, Jerusalem. Recorded Aug 23, 2026.
