Love, love, love. We all say the word, but what really is love? Here, Rav Binny explores essential dynamics of healthy relationships, and how to grow in love. Issac’s first encounter with Rebecca gives a lens into the depth and simplicity of the Torah’s teachings about the foundational elements of relationship.

Rav Binny, through the Rambam’s laws of character development, shows us the relationship between the body and the soul, and how physical health and balance is an indicator of a deeper spiritual and ethical balance. How do I find balance in all the various aspects of my life?

How do we make the physical into a spiritual entity? Through the examples of the Mishkan in the Sinai desert and the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, Rav Binny offers us the Jewish approach to bringing the Divine into this world and creating sacred space.

Through ten stories, Rav Binny helps us to learn how to tap into the moment, and to succeed in accessing what you need to receive from it. He also encourages us to develop the skill to know when to embrace a moment or when to just let it go.

What’s the right (or wrong) way that a Jew should reprimand a friend or colleague? Rav Binny introduces us to Rambam’s laws that instruct us how to fulfill the commandment of admonishment, and shows us the delicate balance that we must maintain in speaking to loved ones.

Intimacy, self-esteem, and love, are interconnected one to another in relationships in our life. Rav Binny ties these elements to the recitation of the Shema at night and to the division of the night into three parts.

Developing the sensitivity of thinking about others and caring about them in a loving way is a lesson that Rav Binny teaches from the stories of Moses’ near death, and the brothers’ eating while Yosef was in the pit.

How do we grab those rare moments and opportunities to do tikkun, to do things right?Is there a recipe? Yes there is, and it’s in the Torah. Rav Binny takes us right back to ABC’s of Judaism, to the basics of what this world is about, why we are here, and how we can live in the paradox that we call life.
