Surprise! The One Pasuk Podcast is back! I’m so excited to start with this special episode I did with the Rebbetzin for Lech Lecha. Next week, I’ll be introducing the new One Pasuk Podcast Team with Parshas Vayera. 3 out of 4 weeks will feature the team and once a month I’ll be doing an episode like this one with Shoshana on ‘Relationship Lessons in the Parsha’. So stay tuned and thank you for all the great feedback and support. וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֲבָל שָׂרָה אִשְׁתְּךָ יֹלֶדֶת לְךָ בֵּן וְקָרָאתָ אֶת־שְׁמוֹ יִצְחָק וַהֲקִמֹתִי אֶת־בְּרִיתִי אִתּוֹ לִבְרִית עוֹלָם לְזַרְעוֹ אַחֲרָיו׃ God said, “Nevertheless, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall name him Isaac; and I will maintain My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his offspring to come.    

*Special Episode* Shavuot 5785 This week’s episode of the One Pasuk Podcast is generously sponsored by Erica & Robert Klein, my mother and father in law in commemoration of the yahrzeit of their precious granddaughter, Chana Tova, daughter of Rabbi Chaim and Shoshana Poupko. She was a bright shining burst of light, who taught us all that the quality of our time on this earth is not dependent upon its length. Her spirit, smile, and courage will always be remembered by us. We pray that Hashem continue to watch over her Neshama. Megilat Rut וַתֹּאמֶר רוּת אַל־תִּפְגְּעִי־בִי לְעׇזְבֵךְ לָשׁוּב מֵאַחֲרָיִךְ כִּי אֶל־אֲשֶׁר תֵּלְכִי אֵלֵךְ וּבַאֲשֶׁר תָּלִינִי אָלִין עַמֵּךְ עַמִּי וֵאלֹהַיִךְ אֱלֹהָי׃ But Ruth replied, “Do not urge me to leave you, to turn back and not follow you. For wherever you go, I will go; wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God. *Subscribe/Listen/Share onepasukpodcast.com* *Sponsor an episode ahavathtorah.org/podcast*  

וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה לְחֹבָב בֶּן־רְעוּאֵל הַמִּדְיָנִי חֹתֵן מֹשֶׁה נֹסְעִים  אֲנַחְנוּ אֶל־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר אָמַר ה' אֹתוֹ אֶתֵּן לָכֶם לְכָה אִתָּנוּ וְהֵטַבְנוּ לָךְ כִּי ה' דִּבֶּר־טוֹב עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out for the place of which Hashem has said, ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us and we will be generous with you; for Hashem has promised to be generous to Israel.” *Subscribe/Listen/Share onepasukpodcast.com* *Sponsor an episode ahavathtorah.org/podcast*

We apologize that we don't have a new episode for this week's parsha. Due to some logistical difficulties this week we weren't able to record an episode. So I was just going to send out this apology and a link to last year's episode. But then I thought last minute to share at least an idea something to think about over Shabbos. Obviously, this will be missing the secret sauce of the One Pasuk Podcast, the rabbinic banter as I like to call it that I enjoy so much with Rabbi Goldberg and Rabbi Kuessous. God willing next week we will be back in action. וְשָׁם רָאִינוּ אֶת־הַנְּפִילִים בְּנֵי עֲנָק מִן־הַנְּפִלִים וַנְּהִי בְעֵינֵינוּ כַּחֲגָבִים וְכֵן הָיִינוּ בְּעֵינֵיהֶם׃ we saw the Nephilim there—the Anakites are part of the Nephilim—and we looked like grasshoppers to ourselves, and so we must have looked to them.” https://www.sefaria.org/Numbers.13.33 Link to last year’s episode *Subscribe/Listen/Share onepasukpodcast.com* *Sponsor an episode ahavathtorah.org/podcast*
