Abraham’s storyline in the Torah is curiously: There are some parts of his life that are told in detail, while other seemingly important events are omitted entirely. What we discover is that the storyline of Abraham serves as a prototype for how to actualize our potential. In this very special podcast, we dissect Abraham’s story […]

In Mishnah Sanhedrin, we are taught that all of Israel has a share in Olam HaBa (the World to Come). But what about a Jew who does not engage in Torah learning or fulfill the mitzvos? How can they become a receptacle to exist in Olam HaBa without the proper soul rectification through Torah and mitzvos? In this episode, we explore the "Plan B" soul rectifications, and the various compassionate paths designed to guide each soul back to its divine source.

Are you aware of the profound acts of kindness demonstrated by Abraham and his steadfast connection with God? Push your understanding of history and spirituality to new depths as we explore this intriguing topic. Together, we unravel the symbolism of the sun at its brightest and its connection to the time of Mashiach. We also delve into the ten trials Abraham had to pass to affirm his unwavering dedication to God and look into the mission of the three angels who visited him. Brace yourself for a revisit of Sarah’s surprise at the divine proclamation that she would bear a child despite her age. As we journey through this episode, we will also expose the darkest aspects of humanity, as evident in the wickedness of Sodom. We'll draw parallels between Sodom's corruption and contemporary evils, throwing light on the root causes and consequences. This session serves as a wake-up call for vigilance against a hostile world, illuminating the power of individual righteousness in safeguarding our communities. Furthermore, we will shed light on the Jewish virtues of selflessness, dedication, and the delicate equilibrium between mercy and cruelty. We urge everyone to recognize their role in shaping the world positively and to take their responsibilities seriously. So join us on this enlightening journey, gaining insights, drawing parallels, and learning invaluable life lessons. This episode (Ep 6.4) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Vayeira is dedicated 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 **** To listen to other podcasts by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe: https://linktr.ee/ariwol Jewish Inspiration Podcast: https://inspiration.transistor.fm/episodesParsha Review Podcast: https://parsha.transistor.fm/episodesLiving Jewishly Podcast: https://jewishly.transistor.fm/episodesThinking Talmudist Podcast: https://talmud.transistor.fm/episodesUnboxing Judaism Podcast: https://unboxing.transistor.fm/episodesRabbi Aryeh Wolbe Podcast Collection: https://collection.transistor.fm/episodes Please send your questions, comments and even your stories to [email protected] Please visit www.torchweb.org to see a full listing of our Jewish outreach and educational resources available in the Greater Houston area and please consider sponsoring a podcast by making a donation to help support our global outreach at https://www.torchweb.org/donate.

What does it truly mean to live a life of purpose and righteousness? Join us as we challenge conventional desires and explore the profound themes of dedicating ourselves to fulfilling Hashem's will through learning Torah and achieving virtuous qualities. We'll unearth how purity and abstinence from fleeting worldly pleasures can lead to genuine, lasting joy. This episode promises to be a deep dive into nurturing a love and fear of heaven, standing firm for the pride of the Almighty, and the remarkable readiness to sacrifice for any mitzvah, whether significant or minor. The discussion pivots around the dangers of seeking honor and relying on others, urging us to live with pure intentions and actions. In the second part of our conversation, we confront the insatiable desire for honor, jealousy, and envy—emotions that can strip away peace and joy from our lives. We dissect how these cravings can drive an individual to madness and rob them of true pleasure and calmness. Emphasizing the importance of performing good deeds with genuine intentions, not for the sake of honor, we remind ourselves that true reward and honor follow naturally. This episode is a powerful call to align actions with sincere motives, leading to a fulfilling and balanced life dedicated to higher principles. Tune in and discover how a life free from the pursuit of honor and worldly validation can lead to the greatest levels of virtue and fulfillment.

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.

Join us as we delve into the life and teachings of Rabbi Yerucham Levovitz, whose remarkable influence inspired his students to prioritize their spiritual growth over worldly pleasures.

Jul 15, 2024

What drives your actions: love, fear, or the desire for reward? Embark on day 42 of our spiritual quest as we explore and unravel the essence of "Yiras Shomayim"—the fear of heaven. We delve into the timeless struggle between body and soul, rooted in the very first verse of the Torah, and reflect on how this internal contradiction shapes our lives. Through the inspiring examples of Pinchas and Abraham, we emphasize the importance of choosing spiritual elevation over fleeting earthly pleasures. In this episode, we also stress the significance of serving Hashem out of pure love, unaided by fear or anticipation of reward. Drawing from the unparalleled dedication of Abraham, who reached an exceptional level of spiritual greatness and became beloved to Hashem, we encourage listeners to adopt a similar devotion in their own spiritual practices. By consistently studying Torah, fulfilling mitzvahs, and walking the path of righteousness simply because it is the right thing to do, we uncover the profound beauty and boundless rewards of living a life deeply rooted in love for Hashem. Join us as we strive for spiritual greatness and explore what it truly means to serve Hashem with all our hearts and souls.

Have you ever wondered how something as enigmatic as the red heifer can teach us about constant spiritual growth? Our latest episode of the Parsha Review Podcast challenges conventional wisdom by exploring the paradoxical commandment of the red heifer (Parah Adumah). Discover how the ritual's ability to purify the impure and vice versa underscores a profound teaching about the necessity of unceasing spiritual advancement. We share a compelling narrative about a diligent student's realization that complacency in spirituality is perilous, urging us all to strive for deeper understanding and engagement in our religious practices. The lesson? Stagnation, in any aspect of life, can be detrimental. But that's not all – we also dive into the transformative power of embracing change. Inspired by the slogan from the Mir Yeshiva, "Don't be better, change," we discuss breaking free from stagnant habits and traditions that hold us back. This episode encourages listeners to question their actions and beliefs, pushing for true transformation and continual evolution. Reflecting on the lessons from the red heifer, we advocate for a mindset of growth and adaptability. Join us and be inspired to seek deeper understanding and continuous self-improvement in your spiritual journey. This episode (Ep 6.39) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Chukas 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 14, 2024, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on July 16, 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.

Can deep love for God coexist with a respectful fear? Discover how cultivating a profound relationship with Hashem can enrich your spiritual journey as we explore the interplay of love and fear in our latest episode. We shed light on the dedication required to achieve this divine love and the importance of setting aside worldly distractions. By gaining deeper knowledge and contemplating the beauty of Hashem's creations, such as a majestic sunset or the innocence of a child, we can foster a sense of awe and reverence. Recognizing His greatness and our own humility leads to a dynamic relationship, much like a loving marriage, where both love and fear drive our commitment to serve Him wholeheartedly. Our episode also delves into the necessity of intertwining love and fear when serving Hashem, drawing parallels to the experience of cherishing a beloved job while fearing its loss. We emphasize how performing mitzvahs according to halacha is an expression of our devout love for the Creator. This commitment to fulfilling mitzvahs deepens our connection with Hashem, promising rewards in both this world and the next. Join us in this enriching discussion that aims to inspire and strengthen your spiritual journey, underscoring the blessings of Hashem and the beauty of walking a path dedicated to Him.

Unlock the Torah's wisdom on the perils of harboring hatred and envy, and learn how to transform these destructive emotions into opportunities for personal growth and spiritual fulfillment. Discover why the Torah (Leviticus 19:17) urges against holding grudges and how negative feelings like slander and seeking revenge can spiral into severe consequences, including the significant historical impact of baseless hatred leading to the destruction of the Second Temple. We reveal practical steps for confronting and resolving such emotions, emphasizing the Jewish values of forgiveness and understanding, and how addressing grievances head-on can lead to inner peace and stronger communities. Also, be inspired by a heartwarming story from Jerusalem about a bakery owner whose unwavering faith and perspective turned potential rivalry into an act of kindness. You’ll hear how his belief in divine providence, that his income is predetermined by Hashem on Rosh Hashanah, allowed him to support a former employee's competing business without a hint of animosity. This narrative serves as a powerful reminder of the mitzvah of helping others and maintaining faith in all circumstances, teaching us to embrace life's challenges with love and trust in divine wisdom.

Talmudist: Sacred Relationships and Life's Milestones
Talmudist: Sacred Relationships and Life's Milestones
Jul 17, 2024
36:00
How deeply do you understand the sacred bond between man, woman, and God in the creation of life? Join us as we explore this divine triad and its critical role in life's milestones, including weddings. We reflect on the Torah's timeless wisdom as the cornerstone of moral and ethical values and voice our concerns over Hebrew Union College's recent policy to admit and ordain students with non-Jewish partners, illustrating how straying from Torah can erode foundational principles. We discuss the immense importance of honoring one's parents through the inspiring Talmudic story of Dama ben Nesina, a Gentile who showcased extraordinary respect for his father's rest, even at a great personal cost. This narrative underscores how deeply valued this mitzvah is in Jewish tradition. Finally, we delve into the personal connection each of us has with God, sharing moving examples of sincere devotion in various forms. We conclude with heartfelt blessings, encouraging everyone to serve Hashem with true love and dedication, and wishing all an amazing Shabbos. (Kiddushin 31a) 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. This Episode (59) of the Thinking Talmudist Podcast is dedicated of Dovi & Adina on their wedding tonight!

Ep 59 - Sacred Relationships and Life's Milestones (Kiddushin 31a)
Jul 17, 2024
36:00
How deeply do you understand the sacred bond between man, woman, and God in the creation of life? Join us as we explore this divine triad and its critical role in life's milestones, including weddings. We reflect on the Torah's timeless wisdom as the cornerstone of moral and ethical values and voice our concerns over Hebrew Union College's recent policy to admit and ordain students with non-Jewish partners, illustrating how straying from Torah can erode foundational principles. We discuss the immense importance of honoring one's parents through the inspiring Talmudic story of Dama ben Nesina, a Gentile who showcased extraordinary respect for his father's rest, even at a great personal cost. This narrative underscores how deeply valued this mitzvah is in Jewish tradition. Finally, we delve into the personal connection each of us has with God, sharing moving examples of sincere devotion in various forms. We conclude with heartfelt blessings, encouraging everyone to serve Hashem with true love and dedication, and wishing all an amazing Shabbos. 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. This Episode (59) of the Thinking Talmudist Podcast is dedicated of Dovi & Adina on their wedding tonight!

While my guest on this episode is literally a Jewish rock star, he would still be one even if he had chosen a different profession. Listen in as we discuss how, when a Jew embraces their relationship with Hashem and His Torah, it does not change them; it simply allows them to actualize who they truly are and bring out their potential and unique creative nature to the world. When we align our spiritual selves with our physical selves, we can each achieve rock star status.

Can true forgiveness really erase wrongs completely, like a pencil leaving no trace behind? In our latest episode, we explore the profound teachings of Orchos Tzaddikim's seventh gate—the gate of mercy. We delve into the divine traits of mercy, forgiveness, and kindness, sharing how embodying these virtues can transform our interactions, just as Joseph demonstrated in his life. We also challenge the influence of media on our sensitivity and empathy, urging a mindful approach to preserving our sense of compassion. Shifting our focus to family and community, we emphasize the biblical calling to "not ignore your own flesh." We discuss the importance of prioritizing mercy and support for our relatives, especially those in need, and we explore the delicate balance between compassion and enabling irresponsible behavior. The conversation concludes with a call to extend empathy and assistance beyond our immediate circle, fostering a compassionate environment for all.

What happens when mercy goes too far? In this eye-opening episode, we explore the delicate balance between mercy and justice, and how misplaced leniency can backfire, harming the innocent. We emphasize the necessity of impartial judgment in all scenarios, from courtroom decisions to daily life choices. Additionally, we discuss the ethical nuances of conditional charity and the profound importance of showing true compassion to all living beings, including animals. Drawing from the rich teachings of the Torah, we illustrate the right way to prioritize and exercise mercy, warning against the pitfalls of misdirected compassion that could overshadow more pressing human needs. Join us for a heartfelt discussion on the transformative power of genuine compassionate giving. Through touching stories and timeless wisdom from King Solomon and the Torah, we highlight the unparalleled joy and fulfillment that comes from connecting personally with those in need. We reflect on the Creator's limitless mercy, encouraging us to embrace qualities of patience, kindness, and compassion toward everyone, irrespective of their actions or beliefs. This episode is a call to action to nurture our souls by embodying these divine traits, enriching not only our lives but also the lives of those around us.

What happens when mercy goes too far? In this eye-opening episode, we explore the delicate balance between mercy and justice, and how misplaced leniency can backfire, harming the innocent. We emphasize the necessity of impartial judgment in all scenarios, from courtroom decisions to daily life choices. Additionally, we discuss the ethical nuances of conditional charity and the profound importance of showing true compassion to all living beings, including animals. Drawing from the rich teachings of the Torah, we illustrate the right way to prioritize and exercise mercy, warning against the pitfalls of misdirected compassion that could overshadow more pressing human needs. Join us for a heartfelt discussion on the transformative power of genuine compassionate giving. Through touching stories and timeless wisdom from King Solomon and the Torah, we highlight the unparalleled joy and fulfillment that comes from connecting personally with those in need. We reflect on the Creator's limitless mercy, encouraging us to embrace qualities of patience, kindness, and compassion toward everyone, irrespective of their actions or beliefs. This episode is a call to action to nurture our souls by embodying these divine traits, enriching not only our lives but also the lives of those around us.

Discover the profound lessons of mercy and cruelty within Jewish teachings that will transform your understanding of compassion. In this enlightening episode of Orchos Tzaddikim, we explore the Talmudic principle that showing mercy to the cruel can ironically lead to cruelty towards the merciful. Through recent events and ancient traditions, we illustrate the Jewish practice of fostering sensitivity and compassion, even extending kindness to inanimate objects like challah bread. By examining scriptural examples, such as the journey of the spies in the Torah portion of Shlach, you'll gain insight into how righteousness is deeply rooted in the consistent expression of mercy and compassion. Journey with us as we unpack the ethical conflict faced by Moshe during the plague of blood in Egypt. Imagine the moral struggle when God commands Moshe to strike the Nile, the river that once ensured his survival. This chapter reveals the stark contrast between Moshe’s merciful reluctance and the Egyptians' centuries-long cruelty towards the Jewish people. Through this powerful narrative, we underscore the necessity of maintaining a strong moral compass and choosing mercy in the face of adversity. Don’t miss this chance to reflect on how these timeless teachings can guide us in today's complex world. This Episode is dedicated in honor Levi & Leah Netzer!!

Have you ever pondered the true cost of holding a grudge? In today's episode, we unravel the profound teachings found in the Torah, Proverbs, and Leviticus about forgiveness, mercy, and kindness. Using relatable scenarios, such as the simple act of borrowing a hammer, we illuminate how resentment can twist our compassionate nature into cruelty and conflict. We also reflect on the broader implications of theft, particularly how it affects the dignity and pride of the less fortunate, hammering home the significance of peace, humility, and the strength it takes to forgive and move forward. Moreover, we shine a spotlight on the critical importance of showing compassion toward orphans, widows, and converts. The Torah outlines severe consequences for those who cause pain to these vulnerable groups, and even judges are not exempt. Through a compelling narrative, we demonstrate the tangible blessings that come from adhering to these principles, showcasing a man who chose mercy over personal gain and was richly rewarded. This episode is a poignant reminder that causing pain, even through minor actions, is a serious transgression. Embracing mercy and kindness can lead to a life filled with greater blessings and harmony. This Episode is dedicated in honor Levi & Leah Netzer!!

Is there a place for cruelty in the pursuit of righteousness? Today, on day 51 of our exploration through Orchos Tziddikim, we tackle this provocative question and more. We delve into the necessity of cruelty against the wicked, using biblical examples such as Job and Torah commandments on punishment to illustrate our points. We also discuss how individuals with natural aggressive tendencies can channel their energies positively through actions such as kosher slaughtering or performing a bris. With real-life anecdotes, we emphasize the critical role of setting boundaries and allowing children to face the consequences of their actions, stressing the importance of discipline and responsibility in nurturing their growth and accountability. Balancing physical desires and spiritual growth is the next focal point of our discussion, guided by the teachings of the Torah. We emphasize the importance of standing firm against the yetzahara, or physical desires, while ensuring we take proper care of our bodies. This balanced approach is crucial, especially for professionals like lawyers, to avoid the pitfalls of extremism. True growth, we argue, comes from exerting oneself within the boundaries of moderation, reinforcing that extremism has no place in Judaism. Join us for valuable insights on maintaining equilibrium in your spiritual and physical pursuits, concluding yet another enlightening day of our journey.

Cruelty may seem like a distant concept in our modern lives, but it is closer than you think—and distancing ourselves from it is a profound necessity. Join us on this enlightening journey inspired by the Orchos Tzaddikim, Ways of the Righteous, as we explore the essential teachings of mercy and compassion. Discover the wisdom of the Mishnah and King Solomon, which reminds us of the everlasting impact our actions have on our descendants. Through the tale of Bernie Madoff, we illustrate how one's legacy can be tainted by cruelty and why it is crucial to show mercy, even to those who've wronged others. Personal anecdotes highlight the transformative power of Torah study and good deeds, illuminating how true revenge lies in self-improvement and just behavior. Generosity isn't just for the wealthy—it's a universal call to action, transcending financial means. In our discussion, we share the inspiring story of Rav Hanina Ben Dosa, demonstrating how the merit of the righteous can sustain the world through acts of loving-kindness. By challenging the misconception that only the rich can give, we affirm that a heartfelt penny from a poor person can surpass the value of a millionaire's donation. This chapter unravels the true essence of giving, rooted in intention and sincerity, and sets the stage for our upcoming exploration of joy and happiness. Tune in for insights that promise to inspire and uplift, as we celebrate the profound impact of generous acts on divine service. This Episode is dedicated in honor David & Perela Grunberger!!

Can true happiness and spiritual growth coexist, or are they mutually exclusive? Join us as we explore the teachings of Orchos Tzaddikim, Ways of the Righteous, to uncover how genuine happiness, rooted in inner tranquility and fulfillment, can illuminate our well-being and spiritual lives. We discuss the importance of maintaining a balance, warning against excessive laughter and frivolity that might impede our spiritual progress and connection with God. Moreover, we delve into the dangers of finding joy in others' misfortunes, particularly their spiritual downfalls, stressing the importance of compassionately guiding others back to the right path. In the second part of our episode, we shift our focus to the profound impact of selflessness in prayer. Discover how selfless prayers can help us combat the yetzer hara, the evil inclination, and fulfill the commandment to "love your fellow like yourself." We highlight the significance of praying for others and the importance of rejoicing in their successes rather than their failures. As we conclude, we offer a heartfelt prayer for strength and the ability to find happiness in the well-being of others, setting the stage for continued spiritual growth in future sessions.

Can finding joy in mockery, sin, or drunken revelry lead to severe spiritual and personal repercussions? Today, we unpack these critical questions as we explore the Orchos Tzaddikim, Ways of the Righteous. We'll take you through the four major consequences of mocking those dedicated to their spiritual practices, from distancing oneself from the light of mitzvahs to causing others to shy away from their own spiritual journey. This episode doesn't shy away from the harsh reality that negative joy not only hinders personal growth but also brings about serious punishments. We also shed light on the bitter joys associated with sinful behaviors like prostitution and theft, where happiness in evil leads to severe consequences. Furthermore, we examine the confusing joy tied to excessive drinking and revelry, which obscures mitzvot and erodes the fear of Hashem. Drawing wisdom from King Solomon, we discuss how such levity and drunkenness can result in adverse outcomes like strife, anxiety, and needless harm. Join us as we emphasize the importance of fostering positive and meaningful joy in our spiritual lives, steering clear of these perilous forms of happiness.
