Unlock the secrets of personal growth and spiritual fulfillment as we journey through the teachings of Reb Nachman of Breslov. Discover how the inherent light within each of us can serve as a beacon of hope and strength during challenging times. Engage with the profound significance of the four special Torah portions read in the month of Adar—Shekalim, Zachor, Parah, and HaChodesh. Each portion is a compelling reminder of pivotal Jewish values and historical events, encouraging charity, remembrance, and purity as we prepare for Passover and recognize Nisan as the first month. This episode offers a rich tapestry of teachings, connecting ancient wisdom to the modern quest for personal and spiritual growth.
Explore the transformative power of small acts of humility and selflessness as we highlight the symbolism of the new moon and its reflection on our spiritual journeys. Through Moshe's preparation and foresight, as he gathered Joseph's bones and cedar wood for the tabernacle, we learn the importance of intention and preparation for future growth. Embrace the idea that true fulfillment of religious duties often lies in the spirit of generosity and self-sacrifice, and not in the pursuit of honor. This episode invites you to align your desires with a higher purpose and find joy in bringing happiness to others, deepening your spiritual connection along the way.
Dedicated to my dear friend Rabbi Yaakov Wohlgelernter who opened my eyes and shared this Torah with me.
May the inspiration that results from this episode be a merit to a Refuah Sheleimah for Elka Devorah bas Miriam Rivka Chana.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
