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.
R' Nachman reveals one of the Yetzer ha-Ra's most subtle weapons: turning genuine spiritual success into ga'avah. Drawing on Likutei Moharan, Chazal, and the Kedushat Levi, this Shoemaker Report explores the extraordinary power of the tzaddik's tefillah—and why the greater the spiritual power, the greater the need for bitul.
