In this compelling episode of Inside ArtScroll, Rabbi Shlomo Landau sits down with Rabbi Daniel Glatstein to explore his deeply moving new sefer, Tziphisa L’Yeshuah (Yearning for Redemption).
Together they journey into the hearts and minds of giants—starting with the Chofetz Chaim—unpacking what it truly means to yearn for the Geulah.
Rabbi Glatstein reveals why longing for redemption isn’t merely hopeful—it’s a foundational mitzvah and spiritual catalyst and shares stirring anecdotes from the Chofetz Chaim’s life that illuminate how his unwavering hope elevated his generation.
Rabbi Landau’s thoughtful questions guide Rabbi Glatstein in painting a portrait of what yearning for redemption looks like in our daily lives—from prayer to pursuit of spiritual purpose.
In this episode of Inside ArtScroll, Rabbi David Sutton discusses his latest work, Beis HaLevi on Anavah, a translation and elucidation of Rav Yosef Dov Soloveitchik’s (the Beis HaLevi) timeless essay on humility.

He shares insights into the Beis HaLevi’s teachings, practical lessons for personal growth, and inspiring stories that bring the concepts to life. This conversation offers a profound look into cultivating genuine humility and its transformative impact on our lives

Revolutionize the Way You Look at Chanukah and Tu B’Shevat (and your life)!
Chanukah – a time of joyous celebration — the radiance of menorahs glimmering in the darkness, the family gatherings, the traditional foods and songs … Yet there is so much more depth and meaning to the holiday, so many rich and inspiring lessons it has to elevate our lives. And though Tu B’Shevat is often almost overlooked, or simply marked by a few moments of eating dried fruit, it, too, is a day of profound spiritual awakening and significance.
The unexplored depths of Chanukah and Tu B’Shevat beckon the thoughtful and perceptive Jew to discover the treasures that lie beneath the surface. In this collection of wide-ranging, stimulating, and original essays, Rabbi Daniel Glatstein draws upon a vast array of sources, many of them rare and some almost unknown, to show us the deep inner dimensions of these two holidays, and how they relate to contemporary times.
What makes the mitzvah of Chanukah candles “beloved to Hashem” — and why is the mitzvah so hard to fulfill properly? Why did we need the miracle of the oil at all … and what does it tell us about our own daily lives? Why was the miracle of Chanukah not recorded in Tanach? What is the connection between Tu B’Shevat and repentance — and what is the difference between the teshuvah of Rosh HaShanah and that of Tu B’Shevat?
Rav and Founder of Machon Maggid Harakiah in Cedarhurst, New York, Rabbi Glatstein is one of the contemporary Jewish world’s most popular speakers and respected maggidei shiur. As you read these brilliant and illuminating essays, you will understand why his more than 5,000 shiurim have garnered literally millions of views and downloads on Torahanytime.com and other venues, while his Hebrew-language sefarim, too, have been acclaimed throughout the Torah world.
Like the glowing flames of the Menorah, The Light and the Splendor brings us a luminous new understanding of Chanukah and Tu B’Shevat, an important contribution to Torah Literature and a precious gift to us all.
While still very young, Rabbi Moshe Neuman became the menahel of Bais Yaakov of Queens. He started with 27 girls in something that could hardly be called a school building. In his fifty years of leadership, as the school grew and grew and grew, thousands of girls received his chinuch — and his caring.
Caring? This menahel would bend over to tie a preschooler’s shoes. He’d discreetly help an impoverished seventh-grader with funds to buy a dress for yom tov, and give a surly sixth-grader a bowl of cereal when he learned she’d skipped breakfast. Discipline when needed? Absolutely. Leadership when necessary? For sure. But firmness was always coupled with love and respect for parents, teachers and, above all, students.
Because He Cared is the story of a wealthy and privileged child in Germany … who became a young and impoverished refugee in America … who became a champion stickball player morphing into a masmid … who did NOT become the tax lawyer he’d envisioned, instead dedicating his life to teaching Jewish children.
Beautifully told by master storyteller Rabbi Yechiel Spero, this is the story – these are the countless stories – of the greatness that happens when someone really, truly cares.
In Reb Reuven Feinstein on the Haggadah, Rav Sholom Reuven Feinstein, the esteemed and beloved Rosh Yeshivah of Yeshiva of Staten Island, guides us through the Seder.

In this Inside ArtScroll interview, the Rosh Yeshivah reminisces for us what Pesach was like at the home of his father, Hagaon Rav Moshe Feinstein. The Rosh Yeshivah also offers fascinating chinuch insights and general chizuk in his trademark down-to-earth manner. Watch and be inspired!
