iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Rabbi Jeremy Markiz @jeremymarkiz.com · 23/09/2026

מוֹדֶה אֲנִי לְפָנֶֽיךָ מֶֽלֶךְ חַי וְקַיָּם שֶׁהֶחֱזַֽרְתָּ בִּי נִשְׁמָתִי בְּחֶמְלָה, רַבָּה אֱמוּנָתֶֽךָ: I am grateful to you, Everliving Ruler, for you returned to me my soul with compassion, great is your faithfulness. We begin our day with these words. Hidden within are many secrets. But overlaying them is the truth: gratitude matters.

The Bat Ayin asks: Why does the Torah about Sukkot say the FIRST DAY: וּלְקַחְתֶּם לָכֶם בַּיּוֹם הָרִאשׁוֹן - "Take for yourselves on the first day" (Lev 23:40) after talking about the holiday being on the fifteenth?

If you're feeling a bit worried about sitting in synagogue over the next 24 hours, you're not alone. This will help.

Yom Kippur can be meaningful. It can also be long, confusing, repetitive, and emotionally flat. You might be hungry. You might get lost. You might not feel spiritual. That doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. Sometimes the key is knowing when to zoom in and when to zoom out. youtu.be/S6V4WT6yXi8

Starting to put the pieces together for this. Anything you'd like to see as a part of this process?

I have a bit of a crazy idea.
I was thinking about a live-streaming series of translating the siddur from start to finish. On the way, we'll talk about what the prayers mean, the poetry, the references the text is making.
Would you be into that?

We say this prayer repeatedly during this season and especially on Yom Kippur. Here's how you recite it. youtu.be/PYJezQ7-AoM

The year ends and the year begins. It’s time to let go of what was, take the time to become something new, and then move forward. Shana Tovah to all.

Love this! It brings back childhood memories of my father singing the blessings with this special melody. May your New Year be sweet, ripe with health, success, and joy.

Like every Shabbat, Rosh Hashanah has its own kiddush. But since it is only once a year, the words can get confusing. So, here's how to do the Kiddush on Rosh Hashanah. youtu.be/3-4uhwAWgB4

Putting on tefillin after a haircut is very satisfying. It fits so snug and no tefillin hair!

Just got one of the kindest responses to one of my videos on Youtube.

Youtube message saying: "you explain it with a down to earth clarity, while still focusing on the spirituality in an easy going way."

Over the last months, I’ve just been trying to keep @timothysnyder.bsky.social’s advice from On Tyranny in the front of my mind. We are in the thick of it now, and we must stay grounded. If you haven’t read the book, here’s the list from his newsletter.

Ok, strange question: I'm moving soon, and so the background in my office/Zoom/YouTube videos will be changing. I have a ton of meaningful objects in my background that I've never explained. Do you think people would care if I made a video about those objects and why they are there? #youtube

The people who actually need to do the soul searching at this moment are unable of doing so. They are incapable and unwilling to see how their voices combine to create violence against Jews. I don't know the reason. Some of it is just Jew hatred, some of it is ignorance, carelessness.

To my fellow Yidden, today is going to be a lot. Like a lot a lot. I feel it too. It is important to take care of yourself. You can and should take breaks from the news, play with your kids, spend time with friends and family. There’s a trauma black hole waiting for you, so you must be vigilant.

Remember: The Bondi Beach Hanukkah event was FOR FAMILIES. They attacked Jewish kids.

In 2018, a Shabbat attack in Pittsburgh. 2023, a Simchat Torah attack in Israel. 2025, a Yom Kippur attack in the UK. And 2025 again, a Hanukkah attack in Australia. There were more attacks before and in between these. But the pattern of attacking Jews on our holidays is abundantly clear.

I'm going to be teaching an 8-session Talmud class in person in the DC area starting in a few weeks. It will cover interesting sections inspired by or connected to the weekly Torah portion. If you're in the area! Lemme know, I can send you the details! It would be fun to learn together in person!
