Welcome to Lechteich.com—short for “Lechteich Acharai” (Yirmiyah 2:2). These words are so beautifully chanted on Rosh Hashanah and recall the great love Hashem had for His nation when they followed Him into the desert. Though our ancestors had no idea how long the journey would be or how they would sustain themselves, they followed Him with deep faith.

Each member of our chosen nation is a traveler. We travel through our internal, spiritual deserts, working diligently to navigate their labyrinth of twists and turns, confronting our weaknesses, struggles, and challenges, each in our respective deserts.

We must strengthen ourselves and stimulate our faith —and hold on tightly to the Hand that rescued us early on. The confines of nature will break, Hashem will display His dominion, and miracles will happen.

I founded Lechteich.com with a singular and simple goal: to bring the Jewish people closer to Hashem through the beauty of His Torah.

Lechteich.com allows you to access a weekly podcast Torah publication and allows me to fulfill one of my greatest desires: presenting Torah in a relatable fashion that speaks to Jews of all ages and stages of life. Recognizing the struggles and temptations of this world, we seek refuge, encouragement, and guidance solely from the Torah.

Rabbi Don Jarashow is the founder and host of Lechteich, a parsha podcast and publication that reaches thousands of subscribers worldwide. He created Lechteich to honor the neshamos of his brother, Noach, and chavrusa, Yisroel Levin, by providing uplifting Torah insights every week.

Beyond Lechteich, R’ Don has served as a rebbi, kollel founder, as well as rosh chabura in BMG. Passionate about sharing Torah, R’ Don gives regular shiurim to balebatim, is involved in kiruv through Olami, and has authored the Lechteich Haggadah (available on Amazon and in Judaica stores).
