A series of maamarim on the theme of Hayosheves Baganim — the soul's longing and the love between G-d and Israel.

A journey through the Jewish year, month by month — the letter, mazal, tribe, sense, and inner avodah of each chodesh.
Audio7:52Iyar is the month of healing — its name spells 'Ani Hashem Rofecha,' I am G-d your Healer. It is the month of counting the Omer, refining the animal soul, and the joy of Lag B'Omer.
Atzilus, Beriah, Yetzirah, Asiyah — the four spiritual worlds and how they map creation and the soul.

1:11:12Continuing the maamar — the gardens of Torah and tefillah in which the soul dwells, and how the Divine voice calls to be heard.
Audio1:10:18The longing of the soul in exile and the ways it seeks reunion with its Source.
Audio54:54How the friends 'listen to your voice' — the interplay of the soul, the angels, and the Divine desire to hear the voice of Israel.
Audio38:04The culmination of the maamar — 'flee, my beloved' — the soul's plea to hasten the redemption and the revelation of the final geulah.
Sivan is the month of the giving of the Torah on Shavuos — a wedding of G-d and Israel, marked by unity, the number three, and the humility of a low mountain.
Audio7:42Av holds both the deepest descent — the Three Weeks and the churban of the Beis HaMikdash on Tisha b'Av — and the seed of the greatest ascent, the comfort of Nachamu and the promise of the final redemption.
Audio8:40Elul is the month of Teshuvah, when 'the King is in the field' and closeness is made easy. It is a time of cheshbon hanefesh — taking stock of the soul — in preparation for the Yamim Noraim.
Audio5:52Tishrei, the head of the year, is satiated with holy days — Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, Sukkos and Simchas Torah. Its sign is the scale of Divine judgment, and its inner theme is Teshuvah, the soul's return to its Source.
Audio11:40Cheshvan, the only month with no holidays, is the month of bringing Tishrei's light into ordinary life. As the eighth month it is the month of the supernatural — the month of Moshiach and the future third Temple.
Audio10:59Kislev is the month of trust and of light — of Chanukah and the 19th of Kislev, the New Year of Chassidus. It reveals the inner, mystical dimension of Torah, like oil that lights up the darkness.
Audio8:28Tevet begins with the last lights of Chanukah, whose glow helps reveal the hidden good (Tov) in the cold and in life's challenges. Its avodah is to heal the 'evil eye' and to learn to see the good in others and in ourselves.
Audio11:15Shevat joins service and leadership — drawing Divine wisdom down into the world like water from a well. On Tu biShvat, the New Year of the Trees, we learn that we grow, like palms, only when our roots intertwine with others.
Audio15:47'When Adar enters, we increase in joy.' Adar is the month of Purim — of the hidden face of G-d in nature, of miracles disguised as chance, and of a joy that breaks past every limit.
Continuing through the four worlds — how each world is a garment and a filter for Divine light, and what that teaches us about our own inner structure.
Audio1:11:25The world of Beriah and the realm of the intellect and the soul — how thought and comprehension mirror a whole spiritual world.
Audio1:12:03The world of Yetzirah and the realm of emotion — how the middos of the soul correspond to a world of formation.
Audio1:04:22The world of Asiyah — action and the physical world — and how the lowest world becomes the ultimate purpose: a dwelling place for G-d below.
Audio54:04Drawing the four worlds together — how a person ascends and unifies the worlds through Torah, tefillah, and refining the physical world around them.
