Ep 79 - Transforming Pain into Purpose and Understanding (Berachos 5a)
May 16, 2025
52:24
What if the very struggles and afflictions we face are divine opportunities for introspection and growth? We invite you to explore the poignant insights of Tractate Brachot 5A, where ancient wisdom meets modern challenges. This episode unpacks the spiritual significance of illness and suffering, not as obstacles but as gifts that allow for emotional and spiritual preparation. Against the backdrop of the tragic events in Israel on October 7th, 2023, we draw parallels to the collective need for unity and reflection during national crises, urging us to find purpose and meaning even in our darkest moments. Emphasizing vigilance and dedication, we examine how the Torah community must embrace a renewed sense of responsibility. Through personal anecdotes and teachings from the Talmud, we see how unexpected situations can transform into opportunities for mitzvot, revealing the divine messages hidden within our daily experiences. Reflect on the profound concept of "afflictions of love," where divine trials aren't just burdens but pathways to purify the soul and earn eternal rewards. As we connect these lessons to the spiritual essence of the Korban Asham, we understand the weight of acknowledging wrongdoings and seeking atonement. In a world where routine often dulls passion, this episode challenges us to maintain the sincerity and purpose behind our sacred practices. Through the lens of childhood vaccinations, we draw parallels to how afflictions are expressions of divine love. We also explore the profound notion from the Talmud that the suffering of children serves as a powerful atonement message for their generation, urging personal and communal introspection. Together, we strive to embrace these lessons, extending wishes for a meaningful and peaceful Shabbos, filled with reflection and spiritual connection. 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.

Can the steady glow of the menorah illuminate the path to spiritual growth and resilience? Join us as we unravel the profound themes of consistency and persistence in Torah study, using Parsha Emor as our guide. We draw powerful parallels between the continuous light of the menorah and the routines we cultivate in our spiritual lives. Much like our meals nourish our bodies, a consistent schedule of Torah study and daily prayer feeds our souls, nurturing spiritual growth. The techniques from James Clear's "Atomic Habits" are highlighted, offering practical strategies for integrating new habits into our existing routines, emphasizing the transformative power of small, steady changes. As we explore the essence of persistence, the phrase "Sheva Yipol Tzaddik V'kam" reminds us of the resilience needed to rise after falling. This episode encourages you to embrace both consistency and perseverance in your spiritual journey, ensuring the Torah remains a vibrant force in your life. As Shabbos approaches, consider how these themes can be woven into your daily practices, keeping the fire of Torah burning brightly. We hope this discussion inspires you and provides the strength needed to maintain an unwavering connection with the Torah.

Embark on a spiritual exploration with us as we uncover the timeless wisdom of Parsha Behar, a treasure trove of lessons on faith and resilience anchored in the practices of the sabbatical and jubilee years. Unravel the mystery of why these commandments were given to our ancestors and us in the desert, and let's reflect together on the Shemitah year—a divine reminder that all we possess is a generous gift from Hashem. Our conversation will weave through historical events, such as the recent miraculous protection of Israel, to illuminate the profound impact of these ancient laws on our contemporary understanding of divine providence and trust. Be inspired by the tale of a secular kibbutz whose leap into observing the sabbatical year brought about an unexpected harvest of faith and fortune. As we discuss their experience and the resulting bounty that defied their skepticism, we reaffirm the spiritual principle that gratitude and recognition of the divine imbue our daily lives with deeper meaning. Through the lens of Joseph's interpretation of Pharaoh's dreams, we'll confront the allure of worldly assurances and rediscover the essence of Jewish identity—finding strength in life's uncertainties through an unwavering faith in Hashem. Join us for this journey steeped in tradition and rich with insight, as we celebrate the resilience that defines our spiritual heritage.

As we discuss their experience and the resulting bounty that defied their skepticism, we reaffirm the spiritual principle that gratitude and recognition of the divine imbue our daily lives with deeper meaning. Through the lens of Joseph's interpretation of Pharaoh's dreams, we'll confront the allure of worldly assurances and rediscover the essence of Jewish identity—finding strength in life's uncertainties through an unwavering faith in Hashem. Join us for this journey steeped in tradition and rich with insight, as we celebrate the resilience that defines our spiritual heritage. This episode (Ep 6.32) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Behar is dedicated in Honor of Levi & Leah Netzer on the engagement of our children & 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 - Studio B to a live audience on May 21, 2024, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 22, 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.

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast (Ep. #155), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe talks about Way 37: U'Meigis Libo Betalmudo - Don't be so Complacent or Arrogant, and shares wisdom, insights, stories and lessons from the teaching of our sages about the importance of removing all arrogance as we recognize that all the greatness we have is a gift from Hashem and not our own doing. When we realize that our unique talents and abilities only obligate to do more than the standard and "norm" we will also learn that there is nothing to be overly proud and arrogant about. Keep you head down and plow forward. Do great things and recognize that Hashem gives you your abilities. During the 49 days we count between Pesach (Passover) and Shavuot we celebrate and focus on this exciting time for powerful and impactful change. The Mishna (Avot 6:6) teaches us 48 masterful tools and ways to maximize life and get the most out of each day.

Immerse yourself in the essence of Torah and transform your life! Our latest episode promises to uncover the profound significance of Parshas Bechukosai, where we journey beyond mere mitzvah observance to the very heart of Torah study. Through insightful commentary from Rashi and an evocative parable by the Chofetz Chaim, we explore how Torah is not just a set of rules, but a divine language and the very fabric of our lives. Discover how the blessings recited each morning can deepen your connection to this sacred study and inspire you to make Torah an integral part of your daily existence. In a touching segment, hear a moving bar mitzvah tradition that underscores the power of self-driven Torah study over seeking miraculous blessings. Guided by the wisdom of a humble grandfather, we highlight that becoming a Torah scholar is within reach for anyone willing to dedicate themselves to learning. We share personal anecdotes and stories that celebrate the inclusive nature of the Talmud, encouraging every Jew to embrace Torah as their rightful inheritance and find personal connections to great scholars, making Jewish knowledge accessible to all earnest seekers. Our episode also emphasizes the invaluable practice of independent study in understanding Halachah, Jewish Law, drawing from a poignant story about a grandfather's advice to his grandson. Learn how researching halachic questions independently enriches one's knowledge and application of Jewish law, supplemented by reflections on studying under Rabbi Yitzchak Berkowitz. We conclude with a powerful message of perseverance in teaching and learning, illustrated through personal stories. Tune in to grasp the urgency of our mission from a Torah perspective, urging continuous learning and spiritual growth to elevate our lives.

Ep 80 - Afflictions of Love: Embracing Life's Challenges (Berachos 5a)
Ep 80 - Afflictions of Love: Embracing Life's Challenges (Berachos 5a)
May 23, 2025
59:19
Reflecting on the journey of my grandson, born prematurely, we dedicate this episode to his speedy recovery and explore the concept of "afflictions of love" from the Talmud's Tractate Berachot 5a. We consider the paradox of life's greatest gifts often requiring the most arduous paths—whether it's mastering the Torah or making Aliyah to Israel. Through personal stories and experiences, we explore the idea that these challenges form an integral part of spiritual growth, offering not just purification, but a deeper connection to the divine. Our exploration continues with a discussion on viewing divine rebuke as an expression of love. By examining teachings from the Torah and insights from figures like Rabbi Yisrael Salanter, we dissect how lesser afflictions can provide lessons for enduring more significant ones. This episode also highlights the significance of individualized tests tailored by Hashem, encouraging us to embrace these challenges not merely as trials but as opportunities for profound spiritual cleansing and liberation. We recognize the importance of appreciating these divine challenges, for they contribute to building our resilience and character. The conversation extends into the realm of parenting, exploring the delicate balance between allowing children to navigate life's challenges and intervening when necessary. We discuss strategies for fostering healthy environments, especially in our technologically saturated world, and emphasize the importance of empathy and compassion in our interactions with others. Through narratives of balancing love and humanity, we conclude with the hope that these insights provide guidance and inspiration, encouraging listeners to face their personal trials with faith and fortitude. 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.

Why did it rain for exactly 40 days and 40 nights during the Great Flood? The answer will revolutionize how you understand both life and death. In this mind-bending episode of Breakneck Through the Bible, Rabbi Bentzi Epstein reveals the connection between the flood's duration and the formation of human life—uncovering ancient Jewish wisdom about when the soul enters the body. Discover the significance of the number 40 throughout Jewish tradition, from Moses on Mount Sinai to the weeks of pregnancy, and learn why this number represents the ultimate completion of spiritual cycles. We'll explore the mystical depths of Hebrew letters as numbers, revealing how the very word for "year" contains hidden mathematical truths about time itself. The episode reaches its emotional peak with an extraordinary tale about Noah's injury in the ark. When exhaustion leads to a moment's delay in feeding the last lion on earth, the consequences seem devastatingly unfair—until Rabbi Epstein unveils a breathtaking insight about kindness that will forever change how you view your own acts of giving. Plus: Why Noah's ark had no rudder, the crucial difference between written and oral Torah, and a revolutionary perspective on who's really helping whom when we perform acts of charity.

Step into the new year with wisdom gleaned from the ancient traditions of Rosh Hashanah as we uncover the rich symbolisms behind the holy celebration. We promise a journey packed with insights that will not only deepen your understanding of the customs but also inspire you to apply these meaningful traditions to your everyday life. We unwrap the Talmudic origins of symbolic foods like apples dipped in honey, beets, and more, and how they carry a profound message of sweetness and sin eradication. Beyond the symbolic foods, we explore the tradition of refraining from sleep during Rosh Hashanah and its potential influence on the year to come. The episode shines a light on how our behaviors and emotions on this day can reverberate through the forthcoming 365 days. We appreciate the wisdom of our sages, the need to avoid bitterness, and the importance of positive attributes. So, lend us your ears, and let us step together into a new year filled with kindness, positivity, and abundant blessings. Happy listening, and here's to an incredible Rosh Hashanah and an even better year ahead.

In the 14th episode of the Ask Away series on the Everyday Judaism Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe addresses a range of student questions with a focus on ethical speech, charity, and prayer. Marilyn’s questions on Lashon Hara (evil speech) prompt Rabbi Wolbe to recommend the Chafetz Chaim’s book, emphasizing the prohibition against negative speech unless addressing known evil, like ruthless dictators, for educational purposes, and urging caution in the age of social media and AI-generated misinformation, where the Talmud’s insistence on sourced information serves as a model. Marilyn also inquires about speaking out against evil or hate crimes, to which Rabbi Wolbe advises leaving such matters to authorities while judging actions, not people, and avoiding judgment unless one fully understands another’s circumstances. Bruce questions the ethics of charities sending solicitation items or small amounts of money, and Rabbi Wolbe agrees that sharing donor information is inappropriate and potentially theft, finding such marketing tactics distasteful, though permissible, and advises individuals to choose charities freely without guilt. Eric asks about Psalms for the current war in Israel, leading Rabbi Wolbe to praise Psalm 100 for gratitude and encourage heartfelt personal prayers, and explains Poteach Et Yadecha in Ashrei (Psalm 145) as a reminder of human dependence on Hashem’s provision, fostering trust (bitachon) and calm by recognizing that all needs are met in their proper time. Rabbi Wolbe concludes by urging mindful recitation of prayers to alleviate stress and cultivate happiness, trusting in Hashem’s care. In this episode of Ask Away we address these questions and topics: Marilyn: Musar teaches us silence, which means guarding our tongue, a tool to consider the potential impact of our words. In today’s world, with technology and war, and we are not face-to-face with people, when is it appropriate to speak, even when it may cause harm, and what is an example, please?Marilyn: In today’s war, is it appropriate to stand up for yourself and speak out against a person who is evil?Marilyn: What about people who are physically harming Jews as hate crimes?Bruce: When charities send money or items like nickels, cards, or tote bags in solicitation letters, or ask to match a small amount like $3, is it appropriate to throw these out, and is it wrong for charities to use donated funds for such marketing tactics?Eric: Regarding the situation in Israel with the multi-front war, what is the best Psalm to say every morning for spiritual connection, given that I say Shema and Psalm 23 daily?Eric: What should I think about when I say Poteach et Yadecha in the Ashrei prayer?

The Truth Shall Set You Free: Aligning with Hashem’s Truth (Parsha Power: Nitzavim)
Sep 17, 2025
19:59
In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores Parshas Nitzavim, which always precedes Rosh Hashanah, emphasizing the theme of standing before Hashem in judgment, as highlighted in Deuteronomy 29:9, where "Atem Nitzavim" (you are standing) signals the collective accountability of all Israel. He notes the deliberate separation from the 98 curses in the prior portion (Ki Tavo), described as "100 minus 2" to avoid proximity to Rosh Hashanah, including sins like cursing parents or misleading the vulnerable. Rabbi Wolbe shares a story of the Chose of Lublin advising a sinner to commit to truth as repentance, illustrating how truth, reflected in the rearranged letters of "Atem" to form "Emet" (truth), aligns one with Hashem’s essence, as affirmed in the Shema’s declaration of Hashem as truth. He explains that truth, distinct from beauty in the 15 praises following Shema (from "Emet" to "beautiful"), is powerful yet not always pleasant, requiring careful delivery to avoid harm, as exemplified by Moshe’s gentle reprimands and personal anecdotes about sensitive truth-telling. Rabbi Wolbe connects this to the introspective preparation for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, urging listeners to confront their true selves in the mirror, as inspired by a friend’s transformative moment of self-awareness in recovery, to recognize their potential and responsibility to live purposefully, aligning with Hashem’s belief in their unique contribution to the world.

Shocking Murder of Charlie Kirk: Why Cain & Abel Still Haunt Us Today!
Shocking Murder of Charlie Kirk: Why Cain & Abel Still Haunt Us Today!
Sep 14, 2025
21:46
In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe reflects on the tragic fatal shooting of conservative activist, and civil right icon, Charlie Kirk, a 31-year-old husband and father, during a speaking event at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025, describing it as a shocking manifestation of societal desensitization to violence and the silencing of opposing voices. Drawing from Genesis 4:2-10, he recounts Cain's murder of Abel due to jealousy over words, emphasizing that attempts to suppress differing opinions—whether through de-platforming or violence—fail, as God hears the "voice of blood from the ground." Rabbi Wolbe extends this to Genesis 37, where Joseph's brothers' hatred of his dreams leads to their plot against him, yet Judah advocates mercy over murder. He connects this to the current political climate, urging listeners to focus on commonalities rather than differences to foster love and unity, even amid disagreements. Acknowledging Kirk's non-Jewish but Shabbat-observing life and strong support for Israel, Rabbi Wolbe praises his inspiration for youth engagement and calls for public Jewish pride in Zionism and Shabbos observance. He warns against media desensitization to murder, stressing the need to protect one's neshama (soul) from such content, and concludes with a blessing for long lives of accomplishment, emphasizing the value of every moment, as no one is guaranteed eternity, and encourages maximizing good deeds without fame.

Shocking Murder of Charlie Kirk: Why Cain & Abel Still Haunt Us Today!
Shocking Murder of Charlie Kirk: Why Cain & Abel Still Haunt Us Today!
Sep 14, 2025
21:46
In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe reflects on the tragic fatal shooting of conservative activist, and civil right icon, Charlie Kirk, a 31-year-old husband and father, during a speaking event at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025, describing it as a shocking manifestation of societal desensitization to violence and the silencing of opposing voices. Drawing from Genesis 4:2-10, he recounts Cain's murder of Abel due to jealousy over words, emphasizing that attempts to suppress differing opinions—whether through de-platforming or violence—fail, as God hears the "voice of blood from the ground." Rabbi Wolbe extends this to Genesis 37, where Joseph's brothers' hatred of his dreams leads to their plot against him, yet Judah advocates mercy over murder. He connects this to the current political climate, urging listeners to focus on commonalities rather than differences to foster love and unity, even amid disagreements. Acknowledging Kirk's non-Jewish but Shabbat-observing life and strong support for Israel, Rabbi Wolbe praises his inspiration for youth engagement and calls for public Jewish pride in Zionism and Shabbos observance. He warns against media desensitization to murder, stressing the need to protect one's neshama (soul) from such content, and concludes with a blessing for long lives of accomplishment, emphasizing the value of every moment, as no one is guaranteed eternity, and encourages maximizing good deeds without fame.

Ep. 58 - The Laws of Charity - Part 3 (Siman 34)
Sep 14, 2025
33:12
In this episode of the Everyday Judaism Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe delves into the laws of charity (tzedakah) from Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 34, emphasizing the priority of supporting one's family, such as older children or impoverished parents, before others, and extending this to relatives, locals, and those in distant cities. He highlights the importance of giving with a joyful countenance and empathy, warning that a sour attitude nullifies the mitzvah's merit, even for large sums, and encourages comforting the poor as one would family. Rabbi Wolbe stresses anonymous giving to preserve dignity, the highest form being preventive aid like loans or partnerships to foster self-sufficiency, and supporting Torah scholars honorably, noting that influencing others to give yields greater rewards than giving alone. Rabbi Wolbe advises recipients to avoid charity if possible, preferring even menial work to maintain independence, citing Talmudic examples of scholars in humble trades. He condemns deceitfully taking charity but praises those who endure hardship to avoid burdening others, promising divine reward. The episode underscores charity as a muscle to strengthen through joyful, habitual giving, concluding with a call to view it as a privilege that aligns one with God’s kindness, fostering community upliftment and personal growth.

Unlock the profound mysteries of Teshuvah, Judaism's unique process of repentance, and immerse yourself in a spiritual journey that reaches as high as the heavenly throne of the Almighty. We promise to share insights about Moses' sublime encounter with ministering angels, praising various aspects of Judaism, and explore why Teshuvah sat at the pinnacle of these praises. You'll comprehend how Teshuvah establishes a direct connection with Hashem, allowing us to return to our roots and recognize Hashem's universal reign. Imagine the transformative power of honey and how it coleptelt changes the constitution of whatever stays in it for an extended period of time. That's the incredible influence Torah has on those who learn it. We discuss this transformation, paralleling the sweet changes with the potential of Teshuvah to elevate one's connection to Hashem. Hear a touching testimony of physical healing through immersion in Torah and the life-changing impact it can have on you. The path to repentance might be arduous, but the rewards are immense. We are guided through the four steps of repentance, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging one's wrongdoing and seeking forgiveness from those affected. We learn from the narrative of Rebi Elazar Ben Durdia, a powerful illustration of veering off the path and the journey to restore a close relationship with God. We also discuss the consequences of speaking Lashon Hara about the land of Israel and how Teshuvah can restore broken connections. Prepare to discover how true repentance can enhance your relationships with Hashem and those around you, and the transformative power it can bring into your life.

In this closing episode of the Merkavah Series, we explore Malchus as the culmination of all the Sefiros where everything we’ve built within ourselves is finally brought into relationship with another, creating something new that did not exist before. Rabbi Meisel shows how Dovid HaMelech embodies this quality by becoming the vessel through which Hashem’s kingship is revealed in the world. Learning about Malchus teaches us that the deepest fulfillment comes when we empty ourselves to receive from Hashem and then channel that shefa outward into our marriages, our communities, our work by attuning to what others truly need.

How does the concept of equality shape our spiritual responsibilities? Join us as we reflect on the profound themes of Parsha Nitzavim- Vayelech, where Moshe gathers the entire Jewish people to renew their covenant with Hashem. We delve into the powerful message that every individual, regardless of rank or background, shares equal responsibility in observing the commandments. With the specter of the 98 curses from the previous portion looming large, Moshe reassures the people of Hashem's unwavering commitment and love, reminding us that the journey towards fulfilling His will is a universal obligation. In another touching segment, we explore the value of hard work and dedication in our spiritual lives. Drawing an evocative parallel to a sweat-soaked yarmulke, we reflect on how our sincere efforts and perseverance are cherished by Hashem, much like a sports fan treasures a player's sweat-drenched jersey. As we prepare for Shabbos, let's take a moment to appreciate our collective spiritual journey and the covenant we share with the Divine. Wishing everyone a Shabbos filled with reflection, commitment, and renewed spiritual strength.

What turns the son of an idol-maker into the father of monotheism? After 20 generations of humanity swinging between pure physicality and pure spirituality, one young man discovered the revolutionary truth: we're meant to merge both worlds together. In this episode, Rabbi Bentzi Epstein reveals the dramatic story behind Abraham's first two life tests. Discover how a teenager's act of rebellion in his father's idol factory led to 13 years on the run from King Nimrod, and culminated in the ultimate showdown—a public trial by fire that would determine not just Abraham's fate, but the future of free will itself. Why did God allow Abraham's brother Haran to die in the flames while Abraham walked out unharmed? Rabbi Epstein explains how this tragic moment preserved something essential to human existence that we still depend on today. You'll also learn the deeper meaning behind Sarah's barrenness and why the womb is the only organ designed to develop from two separate halves. This episode bridges the gap between the Tower of Babel's aftermath and the beginning of Abraham's divine mission, showing how one person's courage to stand against the world's conventional wisdom changed everything. From idol-smashing to fire-walking, discover the tests that forged the father of monotheism.

Embark on an enlightening journey as we unravel the profound impact of repentance on our personal lives and relationships. We promise, by the end of this episode, you'll have a deeper understanding of the transformative power of seeking forgiveness. We share the wisdom and insights of the Talmud, shedding light on how making amends with strained relationships not only brings us closer to the ones we love but can even contribute to our longevity. We dive headfirst into the challenges of seeking forgiveness, especially when the other party is unwilling or is no longer with us. We share the reassuring notion that a simple 'I'm sorry' can bring about immense healing and is even regarded as a remarkably good deed by the Almighty. Our conversation further delves into the concept of private repentance. Regardless of whether our sins are public or private, we can always lean on Hashem for forgiveness. Repentance, we points out, is so powerful it's akin to offering a sacrifice to the Almighty and can lead to a longer life. So join us in this enlightening discourse on navigating strained relationships, seeking forgiveness, and tapping into the life-changing power of repentance.

Get ready to traverse the spiritual depths of the Mitzvah of shofar in our newest podcast episode. You're about to discover how the mysterious sound of the shofar serves as a profound and heartfelt message to the divine, akin to a spiritual email. We discuss the importance of meditation as a preparatory practice before the shofar is blown, which aids in receiving God's message with clarity and depth. Let's unravel the fascinating Jewish custom of blowing the shofar on the 29th day of Elul, a strategy to keep the Satan off-balance, and deepen your understanding of this ritual. We'll also touch upon the coronation of God as the King of the universe, a declaration announced by the sounding of the shofar. By the end of this episode, you'll have a refreshed perspective on this powerful tradition and its potential to bring you closer to God. So, come and join us on this enlightening journey as we explore these exciting aspects of spiritual practice. This episode (#235) of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe is dedicated in Honor of Ed Steiner! **** 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.
