Why does Sukkot, of all the Jewish holidays, carry a specific commandment to be happy? What are we supposed to learn by leaving the security of our homes and living in a fragile hut? And if our money, homes, careers and plans can disappear in an instant, where does real happiness come from? Ari Fuld explains why Sukkot strips away our false sense of control and forces us to confront what truly matters.

Yom Kippur forces us to ask a difficult question: Do our beliefs shape our opinions, or do our opinions reshape our beliefs? Through the Akeidah and Avraham’s defining trait of chesed, Ari explores objective morality, self-control, and the need to measure ourselves against something higher than ourselves.

What protects the Jewish people—the army we build, or the source of strength behind it? In Ha’azinu, Ari Fuld turns Moshe Rabbeinu’s final words into a powerful lesson about God’s protection, the meaning of Jewish morality, the dishonesty of denying Israel’s connection to its land, and why the Torah remains the life source of the Jewish people.

Where is Rosh Hashanah mentioned in the Torah? Where does the name Rosh Hashanah come from? And how did it become Judgment Day?

Why does Moshe tell Yehoshua to “be strong and courageous” when Jewish faith teaches us not to rely on our own strength? And when does humility stop being a virtue and become an excuse for failing to lead?

How can the Torah declare, “You are standing here today,” immediately after warning of exile, curses and national disaster? Why does punishment in Judaism lead not to rejection, but to return — and are we watching that promised return unfold in our own generation?

What do Bikkurim teach us about the Jewish people’s connection to the Land of Israel, and why does the Torah require us to recount our history when we bring its fruits? Ari explains that being indigenous to the Land is not only about rights—it carries a covenant, responsibilities, and the recognition that ultimately, the Ba’al HaBayit is God.

Why does a parsha that begins with war suddenly turn to lost property, marriage, compassion for animals, paying workers on time, and other seemingly unrelated commandments? Ari Fuld explains that Ki Teitzei is not really teaching us only how to fight a war—it is teaching us what makes us worthy of victory.
