Collected Archive of Shoemaker Reports
The Shoemaker Report is Rav Hoshea’s weekly Torah publication. Its focus is on internalizing and living Torah from the heart, not only from the head. The divrei Torah often take the parashah of the week as their point of entry and address central questions of inner avodah — including teshuvah, prayer (tefillah), emunah, bitachon, and related areas of spiritual and personal refinement.
The writing assumes seriousness from the reader and speaks from within Torah life, with meaning emerging organically from honest analysis of our holy Torah and the words of Chazal, rather than from short-lived inspiration or simplified conclusions.
Most people know Rebbe Nachman’s teaching from the song Kol ha-Olam Kulo: “The whole world is a very narrow bridge.” But in Likutei Moharan Tinyana 48, the Breslov master reveals something deeper – the bridge is not the world at all, but the inner struggle of entering the service of Hashem.
