Shalom, everybody. Please enjoy (if you have time!) this new Rabbi E in 3 podcast episode, recorded on this final day of the Jewish year, 5782...hours before Rosh Hashanah. (Talk about last minute.) In it, I discuss some of the beautiful ideas connected to this incredible holiday...and to the entire 10 first days of the year culminating in Yom Kippur. ("Zamboni Days," I call them, when the "ice" is totally smooth, and our "spiritual skates" are new and sharp! We can really glide rapidly ahead in this time.) While we obviously offer heartfelt prayers on Rosh Hashanah that Hashem grant us a good and sweet year, our real focus should be on OUR OWN thoughts, OUR OWN will and OUR OWN deep desires, as we reflect on what kind of people we want to strive to become in 5783. A time to dip an apple in honey, yes, and to celebrate in the company of family and friends.... but also a time to CLARIFY for ourselves, each one of us individually, what is truly most important in life, and why it is worth "CHOOSING." Shana tova!! May we all be inscribed in the Book of Life for a year of blessing, health and growth!!

Hashem Took Us OUT of Slavery...That's Shabbos! (Rabbi E in 3, Va'eschanan, '82) We are NOT supposed to be slaves, that is why Hashem took us OUT of slavery....Yet, we all still struggle (myself, Rabbi E, very much included!) under a crue...

Shalom, everybody. The word for "word," in Hebrew (davar) is the same as the word for "thing" (with different vowels). Why? Because words have a real weight to them, they are substantial, they are not just so much air. The same word (davar) is also one of the words in Hebrew for, "leader!" Why? Because our leadership position as human beings in G-d's Creation is demonstrated and expressed largely through our unique and miraculous power of speech. (Yes, Judaism teaches that ADAM, humanity...we...are meant to LEAD this whole huge, incredible operation/creation towards holiness and completion, through the mitzvot.) SO: Mean what you say...strive to DO what you say...and lead your life by (and through) your words. That's the basic topic of this latest episode of Rabbi E in 3!.
Enjoy, and good Shabbos. Click here for the episode (or earlier ones), or find wherever you get YOUR podcasts! https://player.captivate.fm/show/b4ed503c-3cf8-457a-8a52-2a8822a45ff4

Rabbi E here...Live (and feeling very alive) from Israel!!!
I must share my excitement at being in the amazing Land of Israel, after three uninterrupted Covid-ravaged years away. Here's my message: COME VISIT this incredible place--whoever you are, and whatever your religion, beliefs or politics. You will be inspired, awakened, excited, stuffed (with amazing food), challenged....and thoroughly exhausted! But most of all, I think you will feel more alive, certainly if you are Jewish. Why? There's more NESHAMA (soul) here...Hashem is closer, and His guidance is more evident! I LOVE IT! BARUCH HASHEM! CHECK OUT THE VIDEO. https://youtu.be/4rVYIvcXk4s
