This podcast discusses some of the thoughts I had in regards to why the 1st Mishna in Pirkei Avos chose to say that Moshe received the Torah from Senai as opposed to from Hashem. It also discusses thoughts I had in regards to why the Mishna used 3 different ways to describe the process of the Torah being transmitted to the next generation. For example by Moshe it says he "received". By Yehoshua it says that "it was given over to him" (by Moshe). By the elders it says nothing, it just says "and Yehoshua to the elders". This podcast also discusses why praying for another individual is effective.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/torah-with-simcha--4985090/support.

A meaningful Dvar Torah does not have to be long. In this brief author introduction on Torah with Simcha, Gabriel Benady of Gibraltar shares the inspiration behind his sefer, Short & Sweet: Shabbat Devar Torah.Gabriel describes the familiar experience of sitting at the Shabbat table with nothing prepared to share, and the dream that inspired him to begin writing. He explains that his book offers two short Divrei Torah for each weekly parasha: one for Friday night and one for Shabbat day. Each is designed to take less than a minute and a half to share, leaving listeners with one clear lesson.This short recording introduces the book and its purpose; it is not a reading of the book or a full-length interview.Explore the book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GS6SHF12#TorahWithSimcha #ShortAndSweet #GabrielBenady #DvarTorah #DivreiTorah #Shabbat #ShabbatTable #WeeklyParsha #JewishLearning #TorahInspirationBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/torah-with-simcha--4985090/support.Torah with Simcha is produced by Kol Simcha Productions.New episodes released regularly — exploring Torah, Jewish thought, and the wisdom that connects ancient text to everyday life.Contact: [email protected] is shared for educational, spiritual, and inspirational purposes.
