He is one of the holiest and most inspiring people I ever met. I share my conversations with him immediately after his debilitating stroke in July, 2011, when he could communicate only by blinking, and in the weeks and months after. I also share some of his writing, poetry, and teaching, which he miraculously continued… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2382656103-miningtheriches-tribute-to-rabbi-ronnie-cahana.mp3) ## [You Can Have Faith and Still Be Afraid | 10@9 | 2026.08.14](https://soundcloud.com/miningtheriches/you-can-have-faith-and-still) _2026-08-14 · Mining The Riches Of The Parsha_ God repeatedly tells us: Don't be afraid. But does faith really mean that we should no longer experience fear? Psalm 27 - which we begin reciting in Ellul - presents a much more complicated picture. It opens with extraordinary confidence: “The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear?” Yet as the Psalm unfolds, certainty gives way to vulnerability, anxiety, and longing. As Rivka Kahan… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2381715399-miningtheriches-you-can-have-faith-and-still.mp3) ## [Shoftim | 2026.08.13](https://soundcloud.com/miningtheriches/shoftim-2026-08-13) _2026-08-14 · Mining The Riches Of The Parsha_ This evening we explore wider and more subtle forms of bribes, which the Torah forbids for judges, and for everyone making a decision; flattery, personal connection to the question at hand, etc. As we enter the month of Ellul, the last month of the year before Rosh Hashanah, we should start what every good business does, an audit - financial (in terms of Tzedaka) and spiritual - our losses and… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2381608077-miningtheriches-shoftim-2026-08-13.mp3) ## [The Best Reward for Doing Good Is Doing Good | 10@9 | 2026.08.13](https://soundcloud.com/miningtheriches/the-best-reward-for-doing-good) _2026-08-13 · Mining The Riches Of The Parsha_ A young woman at summer camp volunteered for a difficult job no one wanted - cleaning an especially messy bunk. When she finished, her counselor told her something she never forgot: your reward is that you got to do it. Years later, she still teaches that lesson to her own children. We usually think the reward for doing good comes afterward - appreciation, recognition, gratitude, or some other… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2381149233-miningtheriches-the-best-reward-for-doing-good.mp3) ## [There Is More Than One Way to Come Close to God | 10@9 | 2026.08.12](https://soundcloud.com/miningtheriches/there-is-more-than-one-way-to) _2026-08-12 · Mining The Riches Of The Parsha_ Rabbi Menachem Shach once told a young man who had lost his way a remarkable story from his own life. Something that seemed terribly wrong at the time ultimately saved his life. R. Shach had learned what it means to place yourself wholeheartedly in God's hands - even when you cannot understand where God is leading you. That is one understanding of the Torah's command, Tamim Tihyeh Im Hashem… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2380406439-miningtheriches-there-is-more-than-one-way-to.mp3) ## [When the Judges Realize They Got It Terribly Wrong | 10@9 | 2026.08.11](https://soundcloud.com/miningtheriches/when-the-judges-realize-they) _2026-08-11 · Mining The Riches Of The Parsha_ What happens when judges discover that a decision they reached - properly, carefully, and according to the evidence before them - was terribly wrong? The Torah’s law of Eidim Zomemim - plotting witnesses - presents an extraordinary case. A second pair of witnesses establishes that the original witnesses could not possibly have seen what they claimed to have seen. The Torah prescribes a unique… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2379912528-miningtheriches-when-the-judges-realize-they.mp3) ## [The Most Important Question We Refuse to Ask: Was I Wrong? | 10@9 | 2026.08.10](https://soundcloud.com/miningtheriches/the-most-important-question-we) _2026-08-10 · Mining The Riches Of The Parsha_ Last time we asked whether admitting a mistake makes a leader - or any of us - weaker. Why does Moshe repeatedly remind the Jewish people throughout Devarim of where they failed, while also speaking openly about his own failures? Daniel Gordis recently did something that is much harder than pointing out where other people went wrong. Prompted by a news story in Israel, he turned the question on… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2379215054-miningtheriches-the-most-important-question-we.mp3) ## [Re'eh | 2026.08.06](https://soundcloud.com/miningtheriches/reeh-2026-08-06) _2026-08-07 · Mining The Riches Of The Parsha_ This evening we follow from the verse to the dramatic application of not creating Machlokes, based on our being children of God. We analyze our requirement of Dirshu, to seek God both in place and in time, and the promise God makes to us when we do so. And we uncover the reference at the beginning of our Parsha, Re'eh, to announcing Rosh Chodesh Ellul this Shabbat (it will fall this coming… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2377125752-miningtheriches-reeh-2026-08-06.mp3) ## [Why Does Moshe Keep Talking About His Mistakes? | 10@9 | 2026.08.06](https://soundcloud.com/miningtheriches/why-does-moshe-keep-talking) _2026-08-06 · Mining The Riches Of The Parsha_ The Book of Devarim keeps returning to the mistakes of the past. Moshe reminds the Jewish people where they failed - and he openly recalls where he failed as well. Why would the Torah end this way? Today we look at several examples and ask why this theme dominates the Torah's final book. Is it about guilt, blame, or shame? Or is something much deeper taking place? Tomorrow we'll uncover an answer… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2376928904-miningtheriches-why-does-moshe-keep-talking.mp3) ## [Can You Be Right and Still Fail to Be Good? | 10@9 | 2026.08.05](https://soundcloud.com/miningtheriches/can-you-be-right-and-still) _2026-08-05 · Mining The Riches Of The Parsha_ One verse tells us to do what is right and good. A few chapters later, the Torah tells us to do what is good and right. Is that just a change in wording, or is it teaching us something essential about the kind of people God wants us to become? Rashi offers two very different explanations for the relationship between "right" and "good." At first, they seem almost impossible to reconcile. Then Rabbi… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2375445182-miningtheriches-can-you-be-right-and-still.mp3) ## [Countdown to Getting Paid (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/TvEAiW2fv4PN) _2026-08-05 · **Sponsored**_ Create a shareable wallet timer — deposits buy back time and pay debt down ## [Essentially Expendable](https://danthibeault.substack.com/p/essentially-expendable) _2026-02-23 · Dan Thibeault · Dan’s Substack_ The lingering surveillance of Covid 19 ## [Click Work and the New Precariat](https://danthibeault.substack.com/p/click-work-and-the-new-precariat) _2026-02-19 · Dan Thibeault · Dan’s Substack_ How the stacks flipped the neoliberal script ## [AI: All You Can Eat](https://danthibeault.substack.com/p/ai-all-you-can-eat) _2026-02-07 · Dan Thibeault · Dan’s Substack_ Cultural Economics and Copyright ## [Magilla Optimized](https://danthibeault.substack.com/p/magilla-optimized) _2026-01-06 · Dan Thibeault · Dan’s Substack_ The Frictionless Smart Citizen, by adjunct unleashed ## [Apps, Security and How They Make Us Insecure](https://danthibeault.substack.com/p/apps-security-and-how-they-make-us) _2025-10-18 · Dan Thibeault · Dan’s Substack_ Home Security Camera: Types or moments of everyday use. ## [I Can See for Miles and Miles](https://danthibeault.substack.com/p/i-can-see-for-miles-and-miles) _2025-08-31 · Dan Thibeault · Dan’s Substack_ The Age of the Bounding Box ## [Astronomer](https://danthibeault.substack.com/p/astronomer) _2025-08-01 · Dan Thibeault · Dan’s Substack_ Brilliance - Intelligence = Mediocrity ## [AI Alignment, Politics and Big Tech](https://danthibeault.substack.com/p/ai-alignment-politics-and-big-tech) _2025-07-27 · Dan Thibeault · Dan’s Substack_ The Ignorance of Uneducated, Power Hungry Leaders ## [K Allado McDowell](https://danthibeault.substack.com/p/k-allado-mcdowell) _2025-07-26 · Dan Thibeault · Dan’s Substack_ The Ascent of Neural Media ## [From any door to your door (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/4jNNWK3A8UpY) _2025-07-26 · **Sponsored**_ Book rides, errands, deliveries, groceries and home help in one app ## [Benjamin Bratton](https://danthibeault.substack.com/p/benjamin-bratton) _2025-07-20 · Dan Thibeault · Dan’s Substack_ “More Copernicus, Less Tony Robbins”
