  • Religious Hypocrisy. When Religion Hides Your Flaws -- and How to Finally Heal
    Why are some religious people so obnoxious? I hear this question often. It’s no wonder religion gets at times a bad rap. And it does seem strange, doesn’t it? If faith is meant to elevate us, shouldn’t it make us more refined, sensitive, kind, and gentle?Yet time and again, we see people—sometimes in the very name of religion—acting in ways that are anything but inspiring. Of course, no one is perfect. But this is a serious issue we can’t ignore.Religion has shaped civilization for millennia and still plays a central role in countless lives. Yet religion and faith, like all beautiful and powerful experiences, can be abused and distorted by flawed human beings, which in turn has caused so many to have a deep distrust of religion—and of religious people. Some even carry profound wounds—what we now call religious trauma. What we need to learn is how not to throw out the baby with the bathwater.Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson for an honest, vital conversation to understand why religion, which should bring light, so often casts a shadow. And more importantly—how we can move past the pain, discard our toxic experiences and reclaim our spiritual integrity and rebuild a healthy faith that heals instead of harms.

  • Can You Live Forever? The Spiritual Formula for Eternal Life
    Can you live forever?This is a question human beings have asked since the dawn of time. From the ancient pharaohs, who buried their wives, families, and treasures with them in the hope of securing eternity, to today’s cryogenic freezing of DNA and other strange attempts to discover the fountain of youth—people have tried everything imaginable to outsmart mortality.Look around us: the booming pharmaceutical industry, Botox, plastic surgery—all driven by the desire to slow down, mask, or even reverse the aging process.

But despite all this, has anyone truly figured out how to conquer death, the ultimate end of mortal life?And yet, beneath all these efforts lies a deeper longing. Every one of us yearns to make an impact, to leave a lasting, eternal mark on this universe. We don’t just want to exist—we want to matter forever.Is that really possible? Is there a path to a life that transcends time?Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson for this essential and timely conversation that touches each of us at our core.

  • Will We See Complete Peace in the Middle East
    If you looked at a region plagued by war for thousands of years, what would you conclude? That peace is impossible? That conflict is inevitable?That’s the case with the Middle East—a land soaked in blood and tears, going back to biblical times. From the battles around the Promised Land, to the destruction of the First and Second Temples, to the Crusades, to centuries of conflict between Muslims, Christians, and Jews—it seems like a region doomed to eternal strife.And yet—that’s not the full story.Yes, the Middle East has been the cradle of war. But it’s also the birthplace of the three great monotheistic faiths. And that is the key.This is not just a geopolitical or territorial conflict. It is a spiritual one. And the true resolution will not come through politics or power—but through the fulfillment of a deeper, divine vision: a world of harmony, not just peace. Unity without erasing our differences. A time when "nation will not lift sword against nation," and Jerusalem will become a beacon of light for all humanity.That is the end of the story.Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson in this vital conversation because the peace of the Middle East is not just their story—it’s all of ours.

  • Ceasefire. What's Next
    Now that Israel and Iran have agreed to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, the question on everyone’s mind is: What comes next?Will this ceasefire hold?Will Iran truly abandon its nuclear ambitions?Will it recognize Israel’s right to exist, cease developing ballistic missiles, and genuinely pursue peace?Or is this simply a pause — a strategic delay in a deeper, ongoing conflict?We’ve yet to hear any form of unconditional surrender, as some have demanded. So we ask: Is this the beginning of something new — or just the calm before another storm?The best-case scenario? A true and lasting peace. Imagine: a Middle East no longer defined by conflict, but by cooperation, coexistence, and mutual respect. A shift so profound, it would reshape not just a region, but the entire world — ushering in a new global order grounded in unity and dignity.The worst case? The tensions persist. But even then, history teaches us: every war ends. Ultimately we will enter a new Messianic age. The question is — how quickly?Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson as we explore the deeper meaning behind this moment — the spiritual, historical, and geopolitical implications of this conflict and victory. Let’s uncover what lies ahead in this historic crossroads, and its cosmic meaning.
