What do hockey dressing rooms and Shabbos have in common?

The most devoted hockey players are the first to arrive and the last to leave.

That’s the kind of commitment we’re meant to bring to Shabbos too.

By preparing early and lingering a little longer as Shabbos departs, we can fully embrace its peace, a true taste of the world to come.

How do you “add on” to your Shabbos?

As a visible Orthodox Jew and rabbi, I’ve been thinking deeply about the power of facial expressions.

It’s not about toxic positivity or forcing a smile 24/7, but about cultivating genuine joy for life and gratitude for being Jewish.

As someone who’s a walking symbol of Judaism, I know my demeanor leaves an impression.

The Torah teaches our faces are “public property,” and the Gemara says that whitening your teeth (smiling!) for a friend is greater than giving them milk to drink.

Smiling is an act of kindness. It’s spiritual work. And it’s part of how I strive to represent Am Yisrael in the world. ✨

What’s one way you bring more light into the faces around you?

The 17th of Tammuz marks moments of disconnection and division in our history.

But this day also holds the potential to transform into one of joy and unity.

As Torah learning grows, connection to Hashem deepens, nations support Israel, and our land is protected—we pray for leadership that will unite Am Yisrael across the world.

Let’s use this day to strengthen our bond with Hashem and with each other. 💙

There’s a unique calmness that descends with Shabbat, Menuchah. It’s not just rest. It’s a deep, spiritual peace the world craves but rarely finds.

Without Shabbat, Menuchah is missing.

But when you taste it, everything changes.

Try Shabbat. Feel the tranquility. Reconnect with the Divine.

Spiritual and emotional growth isn't a quick fix.

Just like you can't train for a marathon in one day, you can't transform your character overnight. It's about showing up consistently step by step, day by day.

What's one small thing you can do today to grow closer to your best self-and to God?

Instead of reacting instantly to emotions like anger,

pause.

Slow down.

Feel the feelings fully.

Then respond in a way that’s calm, thoughtful, and actually addresses the root issue. 🌱

Sometimes the best way forward is to say nothing, until you’re ready to say something that heals.

Sharing what Canada means to me on a spiritual level even with the growing concerns about antisemitism in our society.

This land’s natural beauty and the kindness of its people inspire me deeply.

There’s something about the positive, welcoming spirit of Canadians that gives me hope and connection. 🌿💛
