The Hiding of God's Presence | September 16th, 2026

mercredi 16 septembre 2026 • Durée 16:26

See today's text here!

In this episode of The Daily Derech, Rabbi Marcus Rubenstein explores Parashat Haazinu, Hilchot Shevitat Asor, and a teaching from Menorat HaMaor about repentance and the meaning of Yom Kippur.

In Haazinu, Rabbi Rubenstein focuses on the verse describing God hiding the divine presence from Israel. Drawing on Nachmanides, he explains that experiencing life without God’s presence can reveal the consequences of spiritual disconnection and inspire a return to Torah.

In the Rambam’s laws of Yom Kippur, he discusses when eating may be permitted for those who are ill or dangerously hungry, emphasizing that preserving life takes precedence. He also explains how children should gradually be trained to fast.

Menorat HaMaor teaches that Yom Kippur’s atonement requires genuine repentance and repairing relationships with others. Rabbi Rubenstein also highlights honoring the holy day through clean, dignified clothing, alongside fasting, prayer, charity, and repentance.

The Mitzvah of Jewish History | September 15th, 2026

mardi 15 septembre 2026 • Durée 18:47

See today's text here!

In this episode of The Daily Derech, Rabbi Marcus Rubenstein explores Parshat HaAzinu, Hilchot Sh’vitat Asor, and a teaching from Menorat HaMaor about repentance, restraint, and preparing for Yom Kippur.

The Parashah section focuses on remembering Jewish history and God’s relationship with previous generations. Rabbi Rubenstein emphasizes that understanding the past helps Jews remain conscious of the covenant, while considering the future and divine accountability can also inspire teshuvah.

The Rambam section explains the minimum amounts of food and drink that constitute eating and drinking on Yom Kippur. For those who cannot safely fast, eating or drinking smaller amounts at intervals may preserve the Torah prohibition while addressing health needs.

Menorat HaMaor connects Yom Kippur’s timing with the abundance of the harvest and the human tendency toward indulgence. Its discussion of the two goats presents bodily desire as something to restrain and false beliefs as something to reject completely.

Becoming Angels | September 14th, 2026

lundi 14 septembre 2026 • Durée 18:30

See today's text here!

In this episode of The Daily Derech, Rabbi Marcus Rubenstein explores Parashat Ha’azinu, Hilchot Yom Kippur, and a teaching from Menorat HaMaor about Yom Kippur as a day of purification and atonement.

The episode begins with Tzom Gedalia and then turns to Ha’azinu, focusing on the heavens and earth as witnesses to Israel’s covenant with God. Their constant presence means they can witness Israel’s actions and respond when the covenant is violated.

The Rambam explains that Yom Kippur requires both resting from forbidden labor and fasting. Labor violates both positive and negative commandments, while eating and drinking violate the commandment to afflict oneself; other restrictions are rabbinic.

Menorat HaMaor presents Jews on Yom Kippur as resembling angels, purified from sin and living in peace. This helps explain Yom Kippur as a joyous day of forgiveness, purification, and spiritual renewal.

The Shofar Tunnel | September 11th, 2026

vendredi 11 septembre 2026 • Durée 16:27

See today's text here!

In this episode of The Daily Derech, Rabbi Marcus Rubenstein explores the second day Rosh Hashanah Torah reading, Hilchot Shofar, and a teaching from Menorat HaMaor about repentance and spiritual renewal.

The Akedah concludes with God promising Abraham that his descendants will endure, overcome their enemies, and ultimately experience redemption. Ramban explains that this promise assures that although the Jewish people may suffer destruction and hardship, they will never be completely destroyed and will ultimately rise again.

Rambam explains the placement of the shofar blasts within the Rosh Hashanah Musaf service. The three blessings of Malchuyot, Zichronot, and Shofarot each include verses reflecting their themes, followed by their corresponding series of shofar blasts.

Menorat HaMaor teaches that the shofar is intended to awaken us to repentance and improve our deeds. Through this spiritual renewal, the shofar symbolizes God moving from judgment toward mercy and compassion.

Crying and or Sighing | September 10th, 2026

jeudi 10 septembre 2026 • Durée 17:32

See today's text here!

In this episode of The Daily Derech, Rabbi Marcus Rubenstein explores the Akedah, Hilchot Shofar, and a teaching from Menorat HaMaor about the meaning and symbolism of the shofar.

The Parashah section examines the binding of Isaac and Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice him. Rabbi Rubenstein focuses on Rashi and Midrashic interpretations that seek to distance God from commanding the actual sacrifice, emphasizing the rabbis’ discomfort with that reading of the Torah.

The Rambam section explains the required shofar blasts for Rosh Hashanah. Because of uncertainty about the precise meaning of teruah, the halachic practice incorporates tekiah, shevarim, and teruah, resulting in a minimum of thirty blasts.

Menorat HaMaor presents the shofar as a reminder of the Day of Judgment and a spiritual wake-up call. It also symbolizes the future ingathering of the Jewish people and the resurrection of the dead.

The Satan Speaks to God | September 9th, 2026

mercredi 9 septembre 2026 • Durée 20:25

See today's text here!

In this episode of The Daily Derech, Rabbi Marcus Rubenstein explores Parashat Vayera and the Akedah, Hilchot Shofar, and a teaching from Menorat HaMaor about repentance, self-sacrifice, and awakening the soul.

The Akedah is examined through rabbinic interpretations of why God tested Abraham. One view emphasizes Abraham’s devotion to God beyond his love for Isaac, while another highlights Isaac’s willingness to sacrifice himself, showing that religious life should center on serving God rather than personal reward.

The Rambam explains that when Rosh Hashanah falls on Shabbat, the shofar is generally not sounded because of the rabbinic concern that someone might carry it in the public domain. Exceptions existed when the Temple or properly ordained courts were present.

Menorat HaMaor presents the shofar as a reminder of the Akedah and God’s compassion, while its broken sound awakens awe and repentance. The shofar calls us to examine our deeds, humble ourselves, and place God at the center of our lives.

The Well of Seven Ewes | September 8th, 2028

mardi 8 septembre 2026 • Durée 17:28

See today's text here!

In this episode of The Daily Derech, Rabbi Marcus Rubenstein explores the first day of Rosh Hashanah Torah reading, Hilchot Shofar, and a teaching from Menorat HaMaor about the call of the shofar to responsibility and repentance.

The Parashah section examines Abraham’s pact with Avimelech over the well at Beersheba. Sforno highlights how trust, justice, and Abraham’s relationship with God shape the encounter, while Abraham’s tamarisk represents both establishing his place and creating a welcoming space.

The Rambam discusses laws concerning the shofar’s length and condition, emphasizing that varied sounds remain valid. He also explains that listeners must hear the shofar rather than merely an echo, and both blower and listener need intention for the mitzvah.

Menorat HaMaor presents two reasons for sounding the shofar: remembering the prophets’ warnings and remembering the Temple’s destruction. The shofar calls people to heed warnings, take responsibility, repent, and pray for protection and redemption.

The Present Moment | September 7th, 2026

lundi 7 septembre 2026 • Durée 18:31

See today's text here!

In this episode of The Daily Derech, Rabbi Marcus Rubenstein explores the Rosh Hashanah Torah readings, Hilchot Shofar, and a teaching from Menorat HaMaor about repentance and returning to God.

The Parashah section examines Hagar and Ishmael being sent into the wilderness and saved after God hears the boy’s cry. Through Rashi’s interpretation, Rabbi Rubenstein emphasizes that Ishmael was judged according to who he was in that moment, highlighting the importance of sincere repentance and our present actions.

The Rambam section explains the Torah obligation to hear the shofar on Rosh Hashanah, why a ram’s horn is used, and requirements concerning its size, cracks, holes, additions, and sound.

Menorat HaMaor presents the shofar as a warning and opportunity to repent, like a king announcing a final opportunity for pardon. It also recalls the shofar at Mount Sinai, reminding us to return to Torah and mitzvot.

The Coronation of the Ruler | September 6, 2026

dimanche 6 septembre 2026 • Durée 24:57

See today's text here!

In this episode of The Daily Derech, Rabbi Marcus Rubenstein explores the Rosh Hashanah readings from Genesis, Hilchot Tefillah, and a teaching from Menorat HaMaor about the meaning of the shofar and God’s kingship.

The Me’am Loez section examines Isaac’s birth and Sarah’s demand that Hagar and Ishmael be sent away. Rashi’s interpretations of Ishmael’s behavior suggest that what begins as play or joy can quickly become idolatry, immorality, or violence, emphasizing the importance of recognizing limits.

The Rambam discusses the qualifications for serving as the shaliach tzibbur, emphasizing wisdom, good character, trustworthiness, and accurate pronunciation. Rabbi Rubenstein also explains how some requirements, such as having a full beard, reflect the standards and customs of the society in which the halacha developed.

Menorat HaMaor presents the mitzvot as sources of benefit for both body and soul. The shofar on Rosh Hashanah serves as a coronation ceremony, proclaiming God’s sovereignty as humanity chooses to serve Him.

The Yoke of Teshuvah | Sepetember 4, 2026

vendredi 4 septembre 2026 • Durée 19:18

See today's text here!

In this episode of The Daily Derech, Rabbi Marcus Rubenstein explores Parashat Nitzavim Vayeilech, Hilchot Tefillah, and a teaching from Menorat HaMaor about the discipline of teshuvah.

The Me’am Loez section examines the phrase “lo bashamayim hi,” emphasizing that Torah cannot be approached only through our own intellect or prior assumptions. Rabbi Rubenstein highlights the teaching that humility and openness are necessary to truly receive Torah as revelation and allow it to teach us something new.

The Rambam section discusses when a person can fulfill the obligation of prayer by listening to the repetition of the Shaliach Tzibbur and answering Amen. Generally, this applies to those unable to pray themselves, while on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur of the Jubilee year, even those who know the prayers may rely on the leader.

Menorat HaMaor presents David as establishing the path and discipline of teshuvah. His repentance ultimately enabled Solomon’s prayers to open the Temple gates, demonstrating the transformative power of repentance.
