HaSatan (Did the Devil Make You Do It?)

Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us on a deep dive through the scripture into the spiritual underworld led by an entity known in scripture as HaSatan.
Understanding the enemy of our belief is crucial to successfully living a Torah-observant life.

Cleansed, Then WHAT? The Work of Staying Clean | Afterburn | HaSatan (Did the Devil Make You Do It?)

The Battle for Your Mind | HaSatan (Did the Devil Make You Do It?)

Your mind is not neutral ground.
It is the battlefield of spiritual warfare.

In this message, we break down how spiritual warfare often targets the mind first—through subtle thoughts, distraction, fear, and compromise. Using Scripture and practical insight, this teaching explains why vigilance matters, how the enemy operates, and what it means to stand firm and resist.
