A special evening with Rav Moshe Weinberger and Rav Shlomo Katz, dedicated in loving memory of R’ Mordechai Aryeh Yosef ben Chaim Moshe ז״ל (Mr. Martin Weinberger) — exploring the lives and legacies of Chassidic Rebbes who were killed in the Holocaust, and whose names, Torah, and visions remain almost unknown.

Through powerful storytelling, historical portraits, and music, this gathering uncovers the holiness and courage of these hidden tzaddikim, the rebbes we never heard of, and what their light still asks of us today.

Recorded in Woodmere, NY during Elul 5779, this Melave Malka with Rav Moshe Weinberger and Rav Shlomo Katz is an evening of heart-opening tefillah, Torah, and song.

Inspired by the verse “Vayomru Leimor Ashira LaHashem” — “Then they said, let us sing to Hashem” — the gathering becomes a living song, a return to the voice of the soul as Elul calls us to awaken, repair, and sing our way home.

Recorded live in Yerushalayim during the days of the Omer, this Melave Malka with Rav Moshe Weinberger and Rav Shlomo Katz carries the unique spirit of Iyar — a time of inner work, healing, and preparation to receive Torah anew.

Recorded live at Shirat David in Efrat, this chizzuk talk with Rav Moshe Weinberger turns big ideas into lived Yiddishkeit. Drawing on the Kedushas Levi (“such a big G-d in a small sefer”) and our learning in Tanya, Rav Moshe shows how chassidus makes change, breaking the “million-dollar check” into spendable coins for real avodah.

With stories of tefillah in our holiest places and the mashal of sitting among barrels of schnapps until you actually drink, the message is simple: bring the light from makif to pnimiyus. Warm the heart, live it today, and keep the fire burning.

Recorded live at Aish Kodesh in Woodmere, NY, this Elul Melave Malka with Rav Moshe Weinberger and Rav Shlomo Katz captures the spirit of heartfelt preparation before the Days of Awe.

Through Torah, niggun, and tefillah, the evening becomes a space to open the heart, awaken longing, and draw close to Hashem as Elul reaches its peak.
