Ep. 44 - Putting G-d on Hold
Ep. 44 - Putting G-d on Hold
May 27, 2026
28:54
It's been three days since Avraham's circumcision. He is in pain, sweating in the midday heat, when G-d comes to visit him. Then three strangers appear in the distance, and Avraham runs toward them, brings them into his tent, and spends hours hosting them. G-d waits. The question at the center of this episode is how that is anything other than a profound act of disrespect towards the Creator. Rabbi Epstein traces what Avraham’s actions actually mean.

Ep 107 - Why God Listens to Simple People [Taanis 24a]
Ep 107 - Why God Listens to Simple People [Taanis 24a]
Jun 1, 2026

Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores a series of powerful Talmudic narratives from Tractate Ta'anit, beginning with the remarkable story of Elazar Ish Birta, whose selfless generosity was so legendary that charity collectors would hide from him, knowing he would give away everything he possessed. When he sacrificed even his daughter's wedding funds to help orphaned newlyweds, Hashem miraculously blessed him with overflowing abundance—yet he refused to personally benefit from the miracle, demonstrating the highest form of selflessness. The episode then examines the deep connection between rain, livelihood, and faith. Rain in the Talmud represents far more than weather; it symbolizes Divine sustenance and reminds us that all success ultimately comes from Hashem. Through stories of great sages who fasted and prayed for rain, Rabbi Wolbe highlights a recurring lesson: humility often accomplishes what scholarship, status, and even leadership cannot. A major theme throughout the discussion is that spiritual greatness is frequently hidden beneath simplicity. Whether it is the humble teacher who educates poor children without charge, the villager who provides wine for Kiddush and Havdalah, or the seemingly ordinary man who protected a photographer from embarrassment despite suffering financial loss himself, the greatest people are often those who seek no recognition. The episode concludes with a powerful reflection on humility. True humility means recognizing Hashem as the King of the universe and understanding one's proper place within creation. Arrogance, Rabbi Wolbe teaches, is essentially an attempt to remove God from His throne and place oneself there instead. The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way. Many claim that they cannot learn Talmud because it is in ancient Aramaic or the concepts are too difficult. Well, no more excuses. In this podcast you will experience the refreshing and eye-opening teachings while gaining an amazing appreciation for the divine wisdom of the Torah and the depths of the Talmud.

For Jews, it is the center of the world; it is the hallowed grounds upon which Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob treaded and prayed; it was the site of the two Temples, and of the long-awaited third Temple.

Ep. 25 - Mamdani, Persecutions and Jewish Pride
Nov 30, 2025
28:31
The Jewish response to elections – whether the shocking victory of an openly anti-Semitic mayor in New York City or any political upheaval throughout history – must be twofold: before the vote, we exercise full hishtadlut (effort) by voting, cultivating goodwill with leaders, and supporting candidates who protect Jewish safety (as our Sages sent gifts to Caesar and Rabbi Akiva petitioned Rome); after the vote, we immediately pivot to total bitachon, recognizing that the final outcome is 100 % Hashem’s decree, often sent as a wake-up call that we have grown too comfortable in galut. History repeats itself: German Jews declared Berlin their Jerusalem, Polish Jews called Poland “Polin – here we shall dwell,” and today many American Jews act as if the United States is the final stop; every time we forget we are in exile, Hashem sends a jolt – sometimes from the left, sometimes from the right – to remind us that no political party, president, or democracy is our ultimate protector. The comforting truth is that these “potches” (divine smacks) are acts of love meant to push us back toward our mission: to be a light unto the nations wherever we are, and ultimately to yearn for and move toward Yerushalayim. When we respond correctly – by increasing Torah, tefillah, teshuvah, and authentic Jewish pride – the bitterness miraculously turns sweet, just as October 7th produced hundreds of thousands of newly observant Jews and countless stories of open miracles among the hostages. The message is clear: get comfortable being uncomfortable in galut, stop putting ultimate faith in any human leader or system, and remember that only the almighy (Hakadosh Baruch Hu) runs the world – and He is nudging us home.

In Ask Away #34, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe tackles profound and sometimes challenging questions with clarity, warmth, and deep Torah insight. The episode begins with a clear explanation of the 613 Mitzvos, the 365 prohibitions, and the 7 Noahide laws, emphasizing that we should treat every commandment as if it were the most important. He then explores the deeper purpose of the Temple — not only an external structure but a call for us to elevate ourselves through real-life struggle and growth, rather than remaining in isolated holiness. Rabbi Wolbe addresses the complexities of Shalom Bayit in interfaith marriages, the beauty of learning to speak each other’s “language” in marriage, and offers a heartfelt defense of Chassidic customs while highlighting the extraordinary Chesed (kindness) of the Chassidic community (Hatzalah, Bikur Cholim, etc.). He responds thoughtfully to a difficult contemporary question about enemies and chastisement, reminding listeners that the ultimate solution lies in our own Teshuvah and closeness to Hashem. The session closes with inspiration on the centrality of Torah study throughout Jewish history and the incredible resources available today. As always, Rabbi Wolbe blends practical halacha, historical perspective, personal stories, and motivational guidance, leaving listeners empowered to grow in their relationship with Hashem.

How can a people who witnessed the divine revelation at Mount Sinai fall into the sin of the Golden Calf just 40 days later? Join us in this enlightening episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, where we delve into Parsha Be'haaloscha and uncover the lessons hidden within the Israelites' journey through the desert. We tackle the initial complaints about the manna, Miriam's critical remarks about Moshe, and foreshadow the sin of the spies and Korach's rebellion. Highlighting the indispensable role of the oral Torah, we reveal how it bridges the gaps left by the written Torah, providing examples like tefillin and mezuzah to illustrate this crucial interplay. We explore the challenges of maintaining spiritual fervor in a material world. Drawing striking parallels to modern times, we recount the miraculous survival of the Jewish people during a recent barrage of rockets from Iran, showing how extraordinary events can coexist with human frailty. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that bridges ancient teachings with contemporary experiences, offering profound insights into the timeless struggle of sustaining faith amidst life's trials. This episode (Ep 6.36) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Be'haaloscha is dedicated in Honor of Gary Nathanson & in honor of our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharing Recorded in the TORCH Centre - Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on June 18, 2024, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 20, 2024 DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

18:06
In this episode of the Everyday Judaism Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues his study of Shulchan Aruch Siman 44, focusing on Halachot 10–17 of Birkas Hamazon (Grace After Meals). He explains the order of insertions when Shabbos coincides with Rosh Chodesh, the rules for someone who is unsure whether they recited Birkas Hamazon, and the procedures for forgetting special additions like Retzei (Shabbos) or Yaaleh V'Yavo (Rosh Chodesh/Festivals).

In Ask Away #34, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe tackles profound and sometimes challenging questions with clarity, warmth, and deep Torah insight. The episode begins with a clear explanation of the 613 Mitzvos, the 365 prohibitions, and the 7 Noahide laws, emphasizing that we should treat every commandment as if it were the most important. He then explores the deeper purpose of the Temple — not only an external structure but a call for us to elevate ourselves through real-life struggle and growth, rather than remaining in isolated holiness. Rabbi Wolbe addresses the complexities of Shalom Bayit in interfaith marriages, the beauty of learning to speak each other’s “language” in marriage, and offers a heartfelt defense of Chassidic customs while highlighting the extraordinary Chesed (kindness) of the Chassidic community (Hatzalah, Bikur Cholim, etc.). He responds thoughtfully to a difficult contemporary question about enemies and chastisement, reminding listeners that the ultimate solution lies in our own Teshuvah and closeness to Hashem. The session closes with inspiration on the centrality of Torah study throughout Jewish history and the incredible resources available today. As always, Rabbi Wolbe blends practical halacha, historical perspective, personal stories, and motivational guidance, leaving listeners empowered to grow in their relationship with Hashem.

Please support TORCH at GiveTORCH.net. Thank you for your partnership in expanding our Jewish programming! Can the company you keep determine your destiny? On this week's Parsha Review Podcast, we delve into the dramatic story of Korach, whose unchecked jealousy and rebellion against Moshe and Aaron led to a catastrophic end. We explore how Korach's negative influence ensnared those around him, while those aligned with Moshe and Aaron thrived in righteousness. Through the lens of this powerful Torah portion, we analyze the role of words and environment in shaping behavior, drawing poignant parallels to the impact of modern-day influencers. In the second part of our episode, we underscore the critical importance of choosing positive influences in our lives. Whether through distancing from those who spread slander and mockery or by seeking divine guidance in our prayers, we aim to cultivate a nurturing and virtuous environment. Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe joins us to share his invaluable insights on fostering positivity and integrity. Listen in for a compelling discussion that not only dissects the lessons from Korach but also offers practical advice on building a life anchored in righteousness. Have a wonderful Shabbos! This episode (Ep 6.38) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Korach is dedicated in Honor of Dovi & Adina on their upcoming wedding & in honor of our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharing Recorded in the TORCH Centre - Travel Studios (D) to a live audience on July 12, 2024, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on July 12, 2024 DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

To understand the current state of Israel and the Jewish people, we must first explore our history, beginning with the formation of the Jewish people through Abraham. Significant events in history set the stage for future developments, and the conflicts between Isaac and Ishmael—stemming from Isaac’s birthright as the progenitor of the Jewish people—and between Jacob and Esau over the birthright have echoed through the ages. In this episode, Rabbi Ken Spiro helps us gain insight into our past, present, and future as we strive to resolve this long-standing sibling rivalry. ★ Support this podcast ★

How can the simple act of acknowledging your mistakes and speaking gently transform your spiritual journey? In today's episode, we explore the profound power of humility in action, focusing on the fifth and sixth identifiers of humility: self-criticism and the use of soft speech. We discuss how genuine humility involves admitting wrongdoings and seeking forgiveness from the heart, without any external pressures. Drawing wisdom from Proverbs, we reflect on how gentle speech can defuse anger and foster understanding. We also delve into the importance of living a modest life, recognizing our talents as divine gifts, and maintaining a humble demeanor, much like Mount Sinai's modest stature that made it the chosen site for the Torah's revelation. As we move further into our conversation, the significance of maintaining a humble heart and a contrite spirit takes center stage. Highlighting scriptural references such as "Zivchei Elokim Ruach Nishbara" and "Lev Nishbar V'nidkeh," we underscore how these qualities align with Hashem's desires for us and can lead to divine favor. We share insights on how living with humility can deepen our spiritual connection, ensuring that our prayers are heard and valued by the Almighty. Join us as we conclude day 24 with a powerful reflection on the value of lowliness of spirit and its role in attracting blessings and divine grace.

How can a people who witnessed the divine revelation at Mount Sinai fall into the sin of the Golden Calf just 40 days later? Join us in this enlightening episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, where we delve into Parsha Be'haaloscha and uncover the lessons hidden within the Israelites' journey through the desert. We tackle the initial complaints about the manna, Miriam's critical remarks about Moshe, and foreshadow the sin of the spies and Korach's rebellion. Highlighting the indispensable role of the oral Torah, we reveal how it bridges the gaps left by the written Torah, providing examples like tefillin and mezuzah to illustrate this crucial interplay.

Unlock the secrets to transforming negative traits and achieving personal growth with our latest episode. You’ll discover why merely deciding to be less arrogant isn’t enough; instead, we explore the profound teachings of the Orchos Tzaddikim, which advocate for taking extreme measures to dismantle deeply ingrained negative traits. We delve into the practices of Mussar masters, who would go as far as to humiliate themselves intentionally to eradicate arrogance. Learn how these extreme actions, followed by a gradual return to the middle path, can lead to true humility and balance, offering a powerful roadmap for overcoming all kinds of negative traits. In a riveting story shared by a great Chassidic master, we recount the tale of a student who chose silence over retaliation when publicly humiliated. Praised by his rabbi for his remarkable restraint, the student was asked to bless the rabbi, illustrating a Talmudic teaching that those who remain silent in the face of humiliation achieve forgiveness and spiritual perfection.

Unlock the secrets to transforming negative traits and achieving personal growth with our latest episode. You’ll discover why merely deciding to be less arrogant isn’t enough; instead, we explore the profound teachings of the Orchos Tzaddikim, which advocate for taking extreme measures to dismantle deeply ingrained negative traits. We delve into the practices of Mussar masters, who would go as far as to humiliate themselves intentionally to eradicate arrogance. Learn how these extreme actions, followed by a gradual return to the middle path, can lead to true humility and balance, offering a powerful roadmap for overcoming all kinds of negative traits. In a riveting story shared by a great Chassidic master, we recount the tale of a student who chose silence over retaliation when publicly humiliated. Praised by his rabbi for his remarkable restraint, the student was asked to bless the rabbi, illustrating a Talmudic teaching that those who remain silent in the face of humiliation achieve forgiveness and spiritual perfection. This narrative underscores the immense virtue of humility and the profound spiritual rewards of embracing silence in adversity. Tune in for inspiring lessons on achieving inner peace and personal greatness, and our heartfelt wishes for everyone to reach such a level of spiritual excellence.

Can humility transform your spiritual life? Join us as we explore the essential role this profound attribute plays in our sincere service to Hashem, drawing from the timeless wisdom of "Orchos Tzaddikim: Ways of the Righteous." We'll uncover how humility not only enhances our prayers and devotion but also garners divine favor, making our actions far more pleasing to Hashem than those of the arrogant. Experience the spiritual benefits of humility firsthand, from having prayers answered swiftly to cultivating a heart that is soft and broken-spirited yet maintains a positive and upbeat demeanor. In this episode, we challenge the conventional view of humility, highlighting its true essence as recognizing and fulfilling our unique capabilities rather than settling for mediocrity. Through powerful analogies like charitable giving, we underscore the significance of performing good deeds purely for the sake of heaven, avoiding the traps of honor and flattery. Reflecting on life's inevitable challenges, we discuss how maintaining humility through illnesses or financial losses remains cherished by God. Finally, we emphasize the importance of humility in everyday interactions, particularly in business and financial dealings, urging us to treat everyone with kindness and respect, always going beyond the letter of the law.

Plus, we celebrate the extraordinary patience and humility of teachers like Rav Preida, whose dedication to his students serves as an inspiring model for us all. Explore how humility can sanctify God's name and positively influence society. By embodying true humility characterized by respect and kindness, we not only foster admiration but also encourage others to embrace these virtues, drawing them closer to the teachings of the Torah. Conversely, we caution against the repulsive nature of arrogance, which drives people away from these sacred teachings. Through thoughtful reflections and powerful examples, we illustrate how practicing humility can uphold the sanctity of our faith and enhance the impact of teaching and learning.

Unlock the transformative power of humility and enrich your personal and spiritual life with our latest episode. Discover how genuine humility transcends social hierarchies and nurtures meaningful connections with everyone around us—from workers and family members to those we support through charity. We delve into the importance of seeking wisdom from spiritual leaders and scholars, embracing their guidance and constructive criticism. Plus, we celebrate the extraordinary patience and humility of teachers like Rav Preida, whose dedication to his students serves as an inspiring model for us all. Explore how humility can sanctify God's name and positively influence society. By embodying true humility characterized by respect and kindness, we not only foster admiration but also encourage others to embrace these virtues, drawing them closer to the teachings of the Torah. Conversely, we caution against the repulsive nature of arrogance, which drives people away from these sacred teachings. Through thoughtful reflections and powerful examples, we illustrate how practicing humility can uphold the sanctity of our faith and enhance the impact of teaching and learning. Join us for this deeply enriching conversation on the profound value of humility.
