Does a Solar Eclipse Mean Anything?
Rabbi Daniel Glatstein
This class explores the solar eclipse through the lens of our sages. Drawing on Rishonim and the Maharal of Prague, Rabbi Glatstein explains how “striking the sun” reflects a dimming of Torah in our lives: not valuing Torah leaders, not supporting Torah learners, over-immersion in livelihood, and a weakened willingness to receive Torah. The eclipse becomes a wake-up call — not for superstition or panic, but to deepen our love of Torah with our mind, our time, and our money.
