We need your help!! August is Podcast Improvement Month at TORCH ... Please help us improve at TORCHsurvey.com 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.

The nation is on the doorstep of Canaan. In our Parsha, the people are instructed in how they must treat the Canaanite inhabitants of the land. It’s not pleasant. The people are told that they must engage in total war against these nations. How do we understand the requirement to be so violent and aggressive […]

We need your help!! August is Podcast Improvement Month at TORCH ... Please help us improve at TORCHsurvey.com In this terribly long exile with never-ending troubles, many have lost hope. They don't believe that their prayers will ever be answered or they don't believe in prayer altogether. They confuse apparent Divine concealment and think that Hashem has forsaken them. Rebbe Nachman proves that the opposite is true. The purpose of Rebbe Nachman's teaching in the Likutei Moharan is for each and every Jew to excel and elevate their relationship with their creator. Welcome to this journey of spiritual enlightenment with the teaching of this great book. *****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 Executive Director of TORCH since 2005.To listen to podcasts by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe: https://linktr.ee/ariwol The Mission of TORCH is to Connect Jews and Judaism by providing meaningful learning opportunities for every Jewish individual in the Houston area irrespective of background, affiliation, denomination or level of observance and to enable them to experience the joy and vibrancy of Judaism in a welcoming environment.

We need your help!! August is Podcast Improvement Month at TORCH ... Please help us improve at TORCHsurvey.com What if we approached Rosh Hashanah not just as a day of celebration, but as a significant business meeting with our most important investor - God? Get ready to rethink your preparation for this spiritual event. We'll discuss how the introspective days of Elul can help us devise a strategic plan for this paramount meeting, just like we would for a business encounter with a crucial investor. This one is not a negotiation for profits, but for a more meaningful, fulfilling year of life. Rosh Hashanah is a time for reflection, and it can also be a period of strategic preparation. By drawing parallels between our relationship with God and a parent's unwavering love for their child, we will discuss how we can embrace Hashem's boundless love and kindness, despite our shortcomings. Let's strategize for the upcoming year together, taking into account not only our earthly goals, but our spiritual aspirations as well. Get ready to transform your approach to Rosh Hashanah and, in the process, your relationship with God. Your preparation starts today!
