Why Do People ask Rabbi Shais Taub for Advice !

Register for the live course

Three live sessions • March 16–18 • Limited enrollment

People seek me out for my advice. I write a weekly advice column, and for over a decade people have asked me questions about their lives. What’s strange to me is that I feel like a barely functional adult. I’m in an adult’s world trying my best to do what other people do, barely getting by. So how can advice that comes from someone who barely knows how to live be so helpful for other people?

I noticed something: one of the ways I help people is by listening really well to their question. The question is the answer. When you hear the question clearly, you realize that people already know what they need to do, but something is covering it. Sometimes the only thing needed is to remove that veil so they can see it.

Some of us feel like outsiders among human beings. Temple Grandin called it being an *anthropologist on Mars*—studying people in order to understand how they behave and why they do what they do. Over time, paying attention to people’s motivations, fears, wounds, and stories creates insight into how life works.

Most people coast through normal life without paying attention to it. But when you have to pay very close attention just to manage life, you become an expert at normal life.

That’s why I created a course called How to Answer Any Question. Not what to answer—people can get information anywhere. The real skill is how to hear the question. It’s about listening, creating space for people to tell their story, and learning how to notice the difference between their goals and their behaviors, or their stated motive and their true motive.

There is a real methodology to this. It can be explained and transmitted.

The course is three nights — March 16, 17, and 18.

Each session is 90 minutes, 8:30PM–10:00 PM Eastern Time, and it’s interactive.

If you’re the type of person who has been studying reality just to get by and you want a clear framework for how to help others find their own answers, you can learn more here

Yeedle & Yitzhak BenArza | Mi'Ma'amakim

The official music video for ממעמקים (Mi’Mamakim), a song from Yeedle’s album Hu V’lo Acher, featuring composer יצחק בן ארזה.

ממעמקים קראתיך ה׳ There are moments when everything else fades away, and all that remains is a cry from the depths.

We stepped out into the vast open fields of Eretz Yisrael — no stage, no walls. Just blue sky, holy land, and solitude.

Surrounded by a small group of string musicians, we sang — and davened — the timeless words from Tehillim ק״ל.

This is one of the first perakim of Tehillim many of us learn — the cry that rises instinctively from the depths of the heart.

For generations, Tehillim has been the shield and strength of Am Yisrael.

In these days, when so many hearts are calling out ממעמקים — from the depths, these words feel more alive than ever.

We offer this visual tefillah for our people and our land. May our voices from the depths reach the One who hears all.

Composed by Yitzchok Ben Arza

TYH Presents: Meir Green - Kacha Hashem Rotzeh

Rebbi Akiva teaches us that Kol Mah De’avid Rachmanah Ltav Avid. Everything Hashem does is the best.

So many times
we want specific things,
but we do not receive what we hoped for.

So many times
we experience disappointment alongside success.
Success is easy to accept.
The real test is learning to also accept
the moments when it feels to us
that everything is off, that there are worries, pressure, and challenges.

V’Nahapoch Hu | AFIkoMAN ft. Brother Sochi

The entire story of Purim highlights the fact that Hashem is in complete control of every moment. When Amalek rears his ugly head to convince a Yid that things happen by chance and that nature has control, Afikoman reminds us that “The opposite is true”

Hashem is always watching and is intimately aware and involved in each and every moment of our lives.

The practical avodah is to keep this in mind, both in good times and times where it is hard to see the good.

Thank You Hashem for every perfect moment!
