Popular talks
Dialogue with the Enemy: how to answer “Israel has no right to exist”
What happened when Rabbi Veffer answered an activist with questions instead of anger. What “genocide” and “apartheid” really mean, what the record shows about Hebron, Oslo and Gaza, and practical tools, Socratic and Talmudic, for your own conversations. Based on his new book.
Faith under fire: October 7 through the prism of Torah
Living through Israel’s seven-front war: the shofar and the siren, miracles as “signal flags,” and what Jewish history teaches about believing our enemies.
What is “holy” about the Holy Land?
What the Holy Land, the holy Sabbath and a holy people have in common, and why it matters on your visit to Israel.
From management consultant to rabbi and olive oil grower
A personal story of aliyah, from a secular career in Canada to teaching Torah and growing olives in Israel.
Other topics include current events through the lens of Torah, miracles (why they happen, and why they don’t), Jerusalem and why everyone wants a piece, a thinker’s guide to prayer, and free will. Topics can be tailored to your group.
For tour groups in Israel
Spending a night or two in Jerusalem or Tiberias? Rabbi Veffer often speaks to groups at their hotel after dinner. After a long day of touring he keeps the talk lively, interactive and short enough to enjoy, with plenty of time for questions.
“It was enlightening and thought provoking. Loved being part of it. Thanks for all your inclusiveness to have us hear your teachings.”
