Summer halacha, the Shabbat Shmooze way
His Shabbat Shmooze series works through practical summer halachos in a conversational format — questions like drying laundry outdoors, leaning on or using a tree, and whether ballgames and exercise fit the day. Rather than abstract theory, each installment takes the situations a family actually meets over a summer Shabbos and walks through what is and is not permitted, and why.
This grounding in real cases runs through much of his halacha teaching. His Mishnah Berura learning follows the daily practical-law structure of the Dirshu cycle, moving through the halachos that shape ordinary Jewish life — the bracha you make, the melacha you avoid — so a listener finishes with guidance they can apply the same week.
A chabura on the laws of Kohanim
One of his more specialized series is a Kohanim's Chabura, a set of shiurim devoted to the halachos that apply specifically to a kohen. It opens with Vekidashto — the mitzvah to honor a kohen — and moves into the laws of tumas meis, the ritual impurity a kohen must guard against, starting from basic principles before building outward.
A chabura is a focused learning group rather than a broad lecture, and these shiurim reflect that: they are for someone who wants to actually know the sugya, not just hear about it. The result is a practical handbook, in shiur form, for kohanim and for anyone curious how these often-overlooked laws work.
Parsha with a sharp read of the meforshim
His parsha shiurim lean on the classical commentators to make a pointed observation rather than a general summary. On Parashas Balak he traces A Tale of Pure Intentions, examining motive in the narrative; on Pinchas he brings the Kli Yakar, who — as the title notes — knocks the men and praises the women once again.
That willingness to let a mefaresh say something bracing keeps the parsha shiurim from feeling like review. He picks a commentary with a strong view, lays out its reading of the pesukim, and lets the sharpness of the classical voice carry the lesson home.
