In Parashat Shoftim, the Torah lists practices such as divination, sorcery, witchcraft, and necromancy — and calls them abominations. But what do these words really mean? Why are they forbidden, and how are they relevant today?

In this 90-minute class, Rabbi Nir Menussi explores the Torah’s vision of the occult and shows how these ancient prohibitions remain deeply relevant in the modern world. Drawing on Kabbalah and Chassidut, the class reveals the hidden structure of the ten forbidden practices, their modern-day counterparts, and how each one can be rectified in a holy way.

The class concludes with the Torah’s timeless alternative: walking wholeheartedly with God, free of superstition and false powers.

What if the most profound explanation for anti-Semitism was hidden in a science fiction classic? In this episode, I explore Arthur C. Clarke’s Childhood’s End (1953) and uncover a startling parallel between its central idea and the way Jews have been perceived throughout history. From the Christian demonization of Jews to modern anti-Zionism, I propose that the Jewish people are often feared and hated not for what they do, but for what they represent: a challenge to the world’s existing order, and a call to enter a higher, more God-connected phase of human existence.

What really caused the destruction of the Temples—and how do we make sure it never happens again?

In this moving and insightful Tisha B’Av talk, we explore the deep spiritual diagnosis of our exile, rooted in three intertwined loves: the Love of God, the Love of Torah, and the Love of Israel. Drawing on the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbeim, we’ll see why each love is incomplete without the others, and how true healing begins when we reconnect these broken parts.

As we mourn past destructions, this video invites you to become a builder of the future—by embodying Ahavat Chinam (baseless love) and weaving together all the fragmented pieces of Jewish life into a unified whole.

🕯 Suitable for Tisha B’Av reflection and Elul preparation

Why is the modern world turning to plant-based psychedelics for healing? What is the spiritual root of this movement, and how should Torah-based Judaism respond?

In this rich, thought-provoking lecture, we trace the rise of the psychedelic movement through the lens of Jewish mysticism—from the serpent in Eden, through the Zohar’s inner map of mind, heart, and body, to the prophetic vision of Torat Mashiach.

Along the way, we explore the symbolic weight of the liver (kaved), the role of imagination’s in the psyche, and the deep reason why the serpent both wounds and heals. A must-watch for anyone navigating the intersection of Torah, transformation, and today’s quest for embodied spirituality.
