Ari Fuld on the Parsha
Why Does the Torah Begin with Bereishit? – Parshat Bereishit
Why does the Torah spend so much time describing a Creation we cannot fully understand? Why did Moshe Rabbeinu break the luchot—and why did God approve? Ari Fuld connects the opening and closing of the Torah to one underlying idea: there is objective truth in the world, and everything else depends on recognizing it.

Ari Fuld on Simchat Torah – The Instruction Book for Life
What does Sukkot teach us about where our security really comes from? Why do we immediately move from the sukkah to dancing with the Torah? And what does it mean to say that the Torah is God’s “instruction book for life”?

Ari Fuld on Sukkot – A Sukkot Lesson in Faith and Fragility
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.

Ari Fuld on Yom Kippur – The Yom Kippur Test
Yom Kippur forces us to ask a difficult question: Do our beliefs shape our opinions, or do our opinions reshape our beliefs?

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.

Ari Fuld on Rosh Hashanah: ‘Ayeka – Where Are You?’
Where is Rosh Hashanah mentioned in the Torah? Where does the name Rosh Hashanah come from? And how did it become Judgment Day?

Chazak Ve’Ematz: What Makes a Jewish Leader? – Parshat Vayeilech
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?
Ari Fuld on the Parsha
Why Are We Standing Here? – Parshat Nitzavim
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?
