“Only at the Kinus do you find a rabbi who can quote Torah… and then switch to Trump, Biden, AND Bernie without blinking 😂🕍
Jewish joy comes in all voices — sometimes literally.
Bringing Torah, laughter, and a whole lot of chayus to the world.”

“Do people really leave Judaism?”
I asked two rabbis at the global Chabad gathering. Their answer: “A Jew never truly leaves. The soul stays connected to Hashem—always.” No matter how far you feel, your spark is still alive.

Ever wonder where rabbis go shopping?
I took you inside the resource fair—giant menorahs, shelves of sefarim, digital memorial boards, kipahs and more. Everything a synagogue needs to bring Yiddishkeit to life under one roof!

The lesson from the Abraham Test is clear: If you feel a "calling" to harm, you need divine certainty. If you have the opportunity to help or save a life? DO IT. No second-guessing required. Helping others is always the right thing. ❤️

Is it kosher to put a mezuzah in a priest’s house? 🤔 Meet Mark — a pastor who just discovered he’s Jewish! After tracing his roots to 1600s Poland, he’s on a journey home. You never know where life will take you… I love being a rabbi! 😎✨ #JewishJourney #RabbiLife

The word Hebrew comes from "Ivri,"meaning "the other side" Why? Because Abraham stood alone for belief in one God when the whole world practiced idol worship.🤯Being a Hebrew means having the courage and chutzpah to stand for what's right, even if it's unpopular! Be an Ivri.💪 #Hebrew #Chutzpah #Faith

Ever seen someone stop mid-bite to wash their hands with no soap? 👀
That’s Netilat Yadayim ritual hand washing before bread. It's not hygiene, it's mindfulness. We pause to elevate food from physical fuel to a spiritual gift. Pausing to make eating holy. ✨
