Kol Nidrei is a legal declaration where we renounce our vows. Why would we usher-in the holiest day of the year with a dry legal declaration? Furthermore, why is this prayer said with such feeling and emotion? Rabbi Heschel Greenberg explains • Watch
In this powerful Rambam In-Depth session, Rabbi Heschel Greenberg unpacks Hilchos Bikkurim Perek Yud Bais Halacha Aleph — a seemingly simple law about the firstborn donkey (Peter Chamor) that reveals profound layers of halachic reasoning, separate mitzvos, and the brilliance of Rambam’s systematic mind • Read More, Watch
In this deep dive, Rabbi Heschel Greenberg uncovers one of the most elegant and profound explanations in all of Rambam’s writings. Why does the Rambam forbid a Kohen from seizing Terumah or Maaser — even with words? Why must it be taken with dignity? And how does this single characterization — that the Kohen is eating from Hashem’s table — solve one of the strongest questions Tosafot ever asked on Rashi regarding the prohibition of Tevel (untithed produce)? This is not just dry halachah. This is Rambam at his philosophical best: revealing the inner spiritual mechanics behind the mitzvah and answering a question that has bothered learners for centuries • Read More, Watch

Who goes first? • Read More, Watch
What happens when cutting-edge medicine clashes with ancient rabbinic authority?
