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.
In the four special parashiot of Adar – Shekalim, Zachor, Parah, and ha-Chodesh – R’ Natan reveals a single spiritual arc: from uncovering hidden good, to breaking despair, to judging oneself favorably, and finally to renewal. The path from Amalek to rebirth begins with a small point of light.
