Don't Die Righteously, Live Righteously (Parsha In-focus: Balak)

Jul 17, 2024

14:26

Have you ever wondered why a pagan prophet's words are featured so prominently in the Torah? Join us as we explore the enigmatic story of Parsha Balak, where King Balak's relentless efforts to curse the Jewish people through Balaam the prophet are thwarted by divine intervention. We unravel Balaam's complex character, revealed through his bizarre interaction with a talking donkey and his covetous nature. In particular, we scrutinize the poignant verse from Chapter 23, Verse 10, where Balaam paradoxically wishes to die as righteously as the patriarchs despite failing to live a life of righteousness. This episode powerfully illustrates the futility of seeking repentance at the eleventh hour and underscores the daily opportunities to connect with God through the 613 commandments. We then delve into the spiritual treasure trove that is the Shema, drawing wisdom from the Zohar. We discuss how the Shema's 248 words correspond to the 248 limbs of the human body, emphasizing the power of its recitation in dispelling negative energies. Simple yet profound morning rituals like washing hands, wearing tzitzit, and putting on tefillin are highlighted, offering practical guidance on living a meaningful Jewish life. With an engaging analogy involving a chocolate bar, we reflect on how dedicating even a small portion of our day to these mitzvot can yield profound spiritual rewards. Wrapping up, we encourage listeners to maximize every moment by connecting with the Almighty through His commandments and Torah study, enriching our lives in service to Hashem. May we all be blessed to live this way. Amen. This episode (Ep 6.40) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Balak is dedicated in Honor of Rabbi Yaakov & Dr. Sara Nagel & 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 August 5, 2024, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 6, 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.

Moses' Guidance and Timeless Reflections (Parsha In-focus: Devarim)

Aug 8, 2024

25:09

Can we truly learn from our past mistakes, or are we doomed to repeat them? Join us on this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast as we journey through Parshas Devarim, uncovering Moses' powerful words of guidance and reflection to the children of Israel. Together, we navigate the four layers of Torah understanding, PARDES—Pshat, Remez, Drush, and Sod—drawing inspiration from the Gaon of Vilna, who mastered these depths so profoundly that he no longer needed commentaries. We also provide essential insights into the cautious and structured approach required for studying Kabbalah, likening it to an ascent of Mount Everest. As we transition into the month of Av and the nine-day mourning period, we reflect on the enduring lessons from the destruction of the Jewish Temples, particularly the devastating impact of baseless hatred. Through compelling stories, such as the community support for a struggling father in Ashdod, we underscore the importance of compassion and unity. This episode challenges us to consciously transform and grow, even after witnessing miracles, emphasizing the significance of judging others favorably and fostering a positive outlook in our daily lives. Embark on this enriching exploration of Torah study and timeless wisdom, and uncover the transformative power of perspective and compassion.

Pinchas and the Paradox of Peace (Parsha In-focus: Pinchas)

Aug 11, 2024

19:27

Unlock the profound lessons from Parshas Pinchas as we journey through an episode featuring the impactful story of Pinchas, the grandson of Aharon HaKohen. Discover how his zealous act of spearing an Israelite man and a Midianite woman brought a sudden halt to a devastating plague that had ravaged the Israelites, claiming 24,000 lives. We promise a nuanced exploration of the seeming paradox of his violent deed being rewarded with God's covenant of peace and reflect on the importance of lineage, especially as Aharon HaKohen's yahrzeit intersects with Rosh Chodesh Av. Additionally, we'll touch upon the spiritual shift from the joyful month of Adar to the solemn period beginning with the month of Av, offering a deeper understanding of these pivotal moments. In the second half of the episode, we underscore the intrinsic value of Torah study as a divine obligation rather than merely a source of personal pleasure. Join us as we discuss how a commitment to performing mitzvot (commandments) as a duty, even amidst challenges, fortifies our spiritual resolve. Embrace the perspective that while enjoying Torah study is indeed a blessing, aligning our actions with God's will is paramount. This dedication cultivates a continuous path of peace and connection with Hashem. Prepare to be inspired to embrace your sacred duty to study Torah with unwavering dedication, fostering a profound and enduring relationship with the Almighty.

We also tackle the emotional aftermath of the tragic events on October 7th, drawing lessons from the mourning rituals of Tisha B'Av. Explore how sadness can be a powerful catalyst for transformation and a renewed commitment to Jewish observance. From Shabbat candles to the hope for the coming of Mashiach, we emphasize the importance of building an inner temple within ourselves, guiding us towards divine redemption. Join us for a thought-provoking and heartwarming episode that seeks to inspire and elevate our spiritual journey.

Ep. 48 - The Ultimate Good (Likutei Moharan I, Torah 65:3)

Aug 13, 2024

60:00

In one of Rebbe Nachman most uplifting teachings, he explains that suffering comes from Hashem, like everything else in life. Therefore, when a person experiences difficulties in life, he or she should focus on the ultimate purpose. Since the ultimate purpose is Hashem’s will and intention, it’s all good. So, by focusing on Hashem, one’s suffering becomes much lighter. Indeed, he or she will feel joy as a result of the abundant good that comes from connecting with Hashem. That’s the ultimate good. Likutei Moharan is a collection of teachings and insights by Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, encompassing a wide range of spiritual topics and profound wisdom, offering guidance for personal growth and connection to God. Taught by the revered and world renowned spiritual master, Rabbi Lazer Brody. Recorded by TORCH via TORCHzoom.com/Studio D (Houston, Texas) from a LIVE online presentation by Rabbi Lazer Brody (Ashdod, Israel) on July 18, 2024.Released as Podcast on August 13, 2024 Rabbi Lazer Brody is an accomplished Torah scholar, world renowned lecturer, prolific author and the founder and leader of Emuna Beams.To listen to other podcasts by Rabbi Lazer Brody: https://www.emunabeams.comand https://lazerbeams.com Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe serves as the Director of TORCH since 2005.To listen to podcasts by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe: https://linktr.ee/ariwol DONATE to EMUNA BEAMS: Please consider supporting the teaching of Emuna across the globe by Rabbi Lazer Brody at https://secure.cardknox.com/emunabeams.

Day 58 - Achieving True Joy Through Faith and Effort (Orchos Tzaddikim | Happiness 6)

Aug 15, 2024

10:15

How can complete Emunah (faith/knowledge) and Bitachon (trust) in Hashem lead us to ultimate happiness? Join us as we explore this profound question in our latest episode. We take a deep dive into the importance of fulfilling both performative commandments and prohibitions, using the metaphor of clean pipes to explain how sins can obstruct our spiritual connection with God. Discover how the labor and effort designed by Hashem teach us to rely on Him, support our community, and steer clear of negative behaviors like theft and coveting. Through hard work and gratitude, we can build a more profound and trusting relationship with the Divine. Balancing Torah study with the pursuit of a livelihood is another crucial aspect we tackle in this riveting discussion. Learn how a harmonious blend of spiritual and physical toil can keep us from the dangers of idleness, which often leads to sin. Drawing wisdom from our sages, we reveal how meaningful work can prevent boredom and foster a disciplined, virtuous life. By the end of this episode, you'll understand how integrating Torah principles with daily labor helps us stay aligned with Hashem's will, promoting continuous spiritual growth and a righteous existence.

In this episode, we dive into the profound lesson from Moshe's persistent prayers to enter the Land of Israel—showing us the power of seeking divine grace instead of depending on our achievements.

Aug 26, 2024

To understand the Jewish people's current situation in history, it's important to recognize the three exiles we've endured and the fourth exile of Edom we face today.

Instead, Edom represents a mental exile, influencing us through remnants of those past nations and, most importantly, discouraging Jews from asking questions.

The History and Resolution of Our Sibling Rivalry with Rabbi Ken Spiro

Sep 6, 2024

What if true repentance meant not only seeking forgiveness from God but also transforming the way we treat others? Join us in this thought-provoking episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, where we dive into the spiritual and ethical depths of Parshas Shoftim as it coincides with the start of the month of Elul. We'll explore the Torah's directive to appoint judges and officers, shedding light on the indispensable role of law enforcement and accountability in our communities. With Elul upon us, we emphasize the profound opportunity this month provides for self-judgment and introspection, particularly in our relationships with family, friends, and community. As we gear up for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, learn how to align your conduct with the values of the Torah and act selflessly. As we journey through the days of Elul, discover the significance of Rosh Chodesh Elul and the 40-day period leading up to Yom Kippur. Hear about Moshe's ascent to the heavens and the essential practice of blowing the shofar daily to stay vigilant and avoid repeating past mistakes. This period calls for earnest self-reflection, repentance, and personal transformation. We encourage everyone to seek forgiveness, make amends, and deepen their connection with Hashem. Use these days as a catalyst for accountability and change, striving to live a life of greater closeness with both our fellow humans and the Creator.

1/30 - A Time for Change: The Spiritual Significance of Elul

Sep 6, 2024

12:34

Prepare to embark on a spiritual journey as we navigate through the wisdom and unique character of the Jewish month of Elul. As the dawn of a new month approaches, we're given an opportunity for introspection and transformation. Elul, a time of spiritual renewal and reconnection with God, stands as our beacon. Rabbi Wolbe will guide us towards understanding how this period presents a unique opportunity for change and reconnection with God. The month of Elul symbolizes a time of renewal, much like its mazal, the Virgin. Drawing a unique parallel, we compare this spiritual month to the amnesty period during Rudy Giuliani's tenure as the mayor of New York City. This was a time when parking violators were given a chance to start afresh. Similarly, El El is our period of spiritual amnesty, an opportunity to negotiate a fresh start with God. Tune in for an inspiring discussion that will leave you ready to embrace the coming month with hope, introspection, and a fervent desire for positive change. Let's seize this moment to awaken ourselves to our purpose in this world and make the necessary changes for a brighter future.

"What if your tomorrow never arrives?" This question isn't as far-fetched as it might seem, particularly when it comes to spiritual growth. There's a pressing urgency to our spiritual journey; one that can't be delayed until a tomorrow that might never come. This episode is a call to action - to take deliberate control of your spiritual pursuits, allowing our actions to reflect our dedication.

Rest assured, the path to divine connection will require persistence, and our first attempts might not always work out the way we expected. But it's important to remember - Hashem is ALWAYS there with us. So, let's reach out to Him, asking for His loving guidance and inspiration, to help us navigate this spiritual journey. Join us as we embark on this exploration of spiritual connection, and learn effective ways to enhance our relationship with Hashem.

11:02

"What if your tomorrow never arrives?" This question isn't as far-fetched as it might seem, particularly when it comes to spiritual growth. There's a pressing urgency to our spiritual journey; one that can't be delayed until a tomorrow that might never come. This episode is a call to action - to take deliberate control of your spiritual pursuits, allowing our actions to reflect our dedication. We'll explore ways to seek divine guidance and connection, and make our High Holiday preparations more than just a routine annual check-up. Reflecting on King David's deep-seated desire to be in close connection with Hashem, we underline the importance of partnering with Hashem on this spiritual journey. Rest assured, the path to divine connection will require persistence, and our first attempts might not always work out the way we expected. But it's important to remember - Hashem is ALWAYS there with us. So, let's reach out to Him, asking for His loving guidance and inspiration, to help us navigate this spiritual journey. Join us as we embark on this exploration of spiritual connection, and learn effective ways to enhance our relationship with Hashem.

Sep 9, 2024

19:21

Unlock the secrets to a spiritually fulfilling life as we are guided through Parshas Ekev. Discover the stark contrasts between the lands of Egypt and Israel and learn why Moshe's message about trusting in Hashem's divine providence is more relevant today than ever. This episode illuminates how living without financial security can actually foster a deeper, more meaningful relationship with the divine, mirroring the entrepreneurial spirit of the Jewish people. As we enter the month of Elul, prepare your heart and soul for Rosh Hashanah with the powerful practices of Teshuvah and shofar blowing. Feel the profound impact of Teshuvah as highlighted by the Zohar, and learn how repentance can shield us from adversity. Rabbi Wolbe explains how placing our faith in Hashem can alleviate daily anxieties about rain, produce, and livelihood. Understand the true essence of fearing Hashem—not as a terrifying force, but as an intimate relationship grounded in trust and love. Reflect on the sanctity of Shabbos, a divine gift of rest and spiritual connection, free from the burdens of the week. Tune in to cultivate a closer, more trusting relationship with Hashem and embrace the peace that comes with divine dependence.

The foundation for the Jewish people to flourish and fulfill their sacred role in creation begins with building a marriage where the husband and wife can support each other in personal development and continual growth. Unfortunately, in the area of relationships between men and women, we have been deeply influenced by the other nations, and while these behaviors may be considered normal, they are actually irrational.
