The Rotten but Smiling Sweet Potato | The Importance of a Happy Face
The Rotten but Smiling Sweet Potato | The Importance of a Happy Face
Nov 5, 2025
24:26
A friend sent me a photo of a sweet potato — but not just any sweet potato. When it was cut open, the inside was completely rotten… except for one thing: the moldy core formed a perfect smiling face.In this shiur/class/episode, we explore what this means — scientifically, psychologically, and spiritually. From the phenomenon of facial pareidolia (seeing faces in random objects) to the Torah’s deep insight into Panim (face) and Pnim (inner self), we uncover a powerful lesson about joy, perception, and the soul.Drawing from Avraham Avinu’s sever panim yafos, we discuss the true power of a smile — how it can spread like fire, light up another person’s world, and even ignite happiness within ourselves. Because our face isn’t just ours — it’s reshus harabim, a public space that can change someone’s day… or their life.🔥 A smile, like a flame, can go on forever.Even if you feel “rotten” inside, keep smiling — you never know who’s being uplifted by your light.This shiur has been generously sponsored by Chesky Lewin as a zechus refua sheleima for all those in need and by Dovi Censor as a zechus refua hleima for Nava bas Chaya Rivka. In addition, the shiur has been sponsored as a zechus for Mishpachas Alyeshmerni as well as a zechus for a yeleida kallah for Shurel Tzipora bas Chaya BlumaTo sponsor a future video/class, feel free to reach out!Subscribe and hit the bell to see new videos!!!#JewishInspiration #TorahThoughts #JewishWisdom #Happiness #PositiveThinking #SmileMore #FacialPareidolia #PanimPnim #JewishPodcast #AvrahamAvinu #SpiritualGrowth #Kindness #Faith #JewishLearning #TorahInsights #RabbiOriStrum #Rabbi #LearnTorah #TorahStudy #Judaism #Jewish #Torah #Chumash #Parasha #Parsha #Parashat #Gemara #Mussar #Tefilla #Prayer

The Hurricane in Jamaica Taught Me This Powerful Lesson about Names

When Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica, it reminded me of something deeper — the power of a name. Why do we name hurricanes, storms, and even inanimate things? And what does that teach us about our own names, our essence, and our purpose?In this episode, we explore the storm outside — and the storm within — through the lens of Torah. Drawing from Parshas Lech Lecha and the actions of Malki Tzedek, we uncover a timeless message: to live up to our names, our titles, and our true potential.#HurricaneMelissa #LechLecha #TorahInsights #JewishWisdom #PowerOfNames #MalkiTzedek #JewishInspiration #Identity #SpiritualGrowth #JewishPodcast #TorahThoughts #PersonalGrowth #Faith #JewishLearning #RabbiOriStrumSubscribe for more content!!!#Rabbi #LearnTorah #TorahStudy #Judaism #Jewish #Torah #Chumash #Parasha #Parsha #Parashat #Gemara #Mussar #Tefilla #Prayer

Insane Heist at the Famous Louvre: What the Louvre Thieves Didn’t Know About Parshas Noach
Oct 23, 2025
11:38
An unbelievable heist just took place at the world-famous Louvre Museum — but beneath the headlines lies a powerful Torah lesson. In Parshas Noach, Chazal reveal that the final decree of the Flood came not because of idolatry or immorality, but because of theft. In this episode, we reveal the far greater thievery than even the $102 million worth of jewels stolen from the Louvre. We NEED the lesson of Noach more than ever today!#ParshasNoach #LouvreHeist #TorahInsights #JewishPodcast #WeeklyParsha #TorahThoughts #PowerOfWords #JewishWisdom #SpiritualGrowth #Noach #ModernMussar #FaithAndCurrentEvents #TorahPerspective
