Generally it is assumed that there are two moral paths through life. There is the sure, tranquil path of the perfectly righteous person who has succeeded in remaking his very character and personality—a path that few can aspire to and even fewer achieve. And there is the path of the imperfect soul whose life is an endless battle—a battle in which defeat is always a possibility and, in the long run, a statistical inevitability. A path which runs along the edge of a moral precipice, in which the slightest misstep or lapse in vigilance sends one hurtling into the abyss.

Is there no other way? Is there no middle ground between utter perfection and perpetual self-doubt? Is there no way to gain control over one’s life short of remaking one’s inner self?

Such was the moral landscape of man until Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi wrote the Tanya and introduced us to the "banuni," “the intermediate man.”

Recreational Marijuana Use in Judaism

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 16:05:10 -0400

Rabbi Yaron Reuven

Is recreational marijuana use allowed in Judaism? Rabbi Yaron Reuven brings the Psak of Rav Moshe Feinstein in Iggrot Moshe Yoreh Deah that says it's forbidden to alter your mind intentionally, whether with marijuana or any other drugs. In this week's Parasha Nadav and Avihu get a Heavenly death penalty for just drinking a little wine before offering incense in the Mishkan. Serve HaShem with a clear mind and don't turn your mitzvot into aveirot.

A Jewish Approach to Psychedelics

Thu, 13 Mar 2025 00:14:53 -0400

Rabbi Efraim Palvanov joins Eli Nash on In Search of More to explore the connections between spirituality, healing, and psychedelics within the Jewish community. They discuss the transformative potential of these substances while emphasizing the importance of traditional Torah-based practices and personal inner work. Drawing parallels to biblical rituals and sensory experiences, they examine the role of music, smell, and sacred narratives in fostering spiritual connection.

The conversation highlights the dual nature of psychedelics—offering profound healing for some while posing risks of escapism and psychological dependence for others. They also acknowledge the legal risks and ethical considerations surrounding these substances, urging caution in their use. Efraim and Eli stress the necessity of personal effort in spiritual growth, warning against external dependencies for transformation. They critique modern reliance on pharmaceuticals and explore how mystical experiences can be integrated thoughtfully within a Jewish framework. Ultimately, the episode calls for a balanced, intentional approach to healing that respects both tradition and personal responsibility while navigating the complex legal landscape of psychedelics.

What Hashem thinks about gambling?

Wed, 04 Sep 2024 15:20:13 -0400

Rabbi Leib Lerner

Unfortunately, sometimes people see clowns with orthodox Jewish costume showing up in casino. Not only it's a huge Chillul HaShem (desecration of the Name of G-d), it also brings a question: "Are Jews allowed to gamble?"

Absolutely Not! Gambling is 100% stealing, and theft Never enters heaven. If you stole anything in this world, you need to be reincarnated to pay it back. Are you ready to go through the suffering in this world again to pay your debt?
