  • Opportunities to learn

    I can never be everywhere I want to be including these classes from Temple Beth Am in LA. These podcasts have given me opportunities to learn at my own pace, listen and immerse myself in my Elul practices. Thank you for these beautiful teachings.

  • Temple Beth Am Elul Series Cheahbom Nefesh & Anavs with Rabbis Richard Camaras and Rebecca Schatz

    This was a compelling and meaningful lesson in how to put others first even when our instinct may be to tune them out or put them off. We know humility requires us to refrain from bragging and display modesty. But Rabbi Camras taught about Anava as a way to hear the needs of others and to try and respond in recognition of those needs. Very significant lesson that is having a direct impact on me. Thank you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Siddur Class #174 - Renewal - Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi - Part 7
Q: One thing you got out of Reb Zalman's reading this week that you'll take forward with you?
The point is to internalize the mitzvot and let Reb Zalman's interpretation guide how we bring inner meaning to our prayer, rather than seeing it as purely external ritual.
Shabbat Teaching: "Shabbat July 4, 2026 | 5786 Shabbat Afternoon Learning"
Q: Does anyone know in what year the pledge of allegiance was initially introduced?
The pledge was introduced in 1882 by Francis Bellamy, intended for Columbus Day and later adapted into the modern version.
Shabbat Teaching: "Hasidic Astrology and Matan Torah"
Q: I didn't understand the connection to Shavuot.
The host explains that Shavuot is the covenantal moment when the Torah was given at Sinai, a deep illumination of the renewal of the people in concert with their sacred twin—their relationship to God—emphasizing that revelation is ongoing and applies to daily life.
Siddur Class #189 - The Modern Era - Milton Steinberg - Part 2
Q: Did Steinberg enter into dialogue at all with Kaplan?
While it's not explicitly documented, the discussion suggests that all three thinkers, including Steinberg, have connections to Kaplan's influence as modern Jewish thinkers.
Siddur Class #189 - The Modern Era - Milton Steinberg - Part 2
Q: Is society in general to blame for the persistence of evil, or is it individual people?
It's likely both; society is made up of individuals who can influence group behavior, reflecting a complex interaction between individual and societal responsibility.
