What does it mean to be truly cherished? Join us on the Parsha Review Podcast as we explore Parshas Bamidbar and the profound act of counting by God. This episode illuminates the symbolism behind God repeatedly counting the Jewish people in the Book of Numbers, reflecting His immense love and care. We draw parallels between this divine act and how we cherish our most prized possessions, delving into ways we can nurture our love for Hashem through dedication and commitment. We also tackle the complex struggle between our positive and evil inclinations, offering insights on channeling both towards fulfilling the will of Hashem.Reflecting on the verse from Malachi, "Ahavti Eschem Amar Hashem" - "I Love You Said Hashem," we discuss the boundless love Hashem has for the Jewish people and how we can naturally reciprocate this divine affection. Personal anecdotes, like undergoing LASIK surgery, bring to life the importance of gratitude for the miraculous gifts Hashem grants us daily. The episode highlights the sheer power of gratitude through touching stories, such as a man's heartfelt thanks to Hashem after marrying off his youngest child. We emphasize that recognizing and appreciating these blessings, whether in small daily joys or significant life events, is our way of mirroring Hashem's infinite love.

Enjoy the read-along options: Ashkenazic | Sephardic | ChassidicHave you ever paused to consider the marvel of your own heartbeat, or the silent symphony of your breathing? In our latest episode of the Prayer Podcast, we journey through the extraordinary landscape of the human body and its divine counterpart, the soul. We revel in the Asher Yatzar blessing, which is often recited in a moment of humble gratitude post-restroom use, and examine how this simple act can lead to a profound appreciation for the miracles that sustain us daily.We share tales close to my heart - from the awe felt during EMT training, to the resilient spirit of a daughter fighting an infection. These narratives bring to life the miraculous self-healing powers and balance of our bodies, offering a perspective that intertwines the scientific with the spiritual. Our discussion traverses the physical actions that carry spiritual weight, and how traditions such as shuckling during prayer enrich our connection to the divine. Throughout, we question the extent of modern medicine's reach and its relationship with the soulful dance of healing.Wrapping up our introspective session, we focus on the transformative power of intention within the Asher Yatzar prayer. Drawing on Rabbi Schwab's insights, we ponder the potential for enhanced health through mindful recitation. Whether you're fluent in Hebrew or finding your way with the English, this practice promises to elevate the everyday to the realm of the sacred. Join us in a collective prayer for health and success, as we strive to serve with all of ourselves - body and soul harmoniously entwined.Download the Prayer Podcast Worksheets:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iBVevW1ydyjSeyeO0iCcina7e8vix3Lt?usp=sharingThis Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Dr. Leonard & June GoldbergThis episode (Ep. #15) of the Prayer Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Dr. Leonard & June Goldberg!

When we witness the fall of someone who has embodied evil, the tangle of emotions can be as complex as the Talmudic debates themselves. In this episode we embark on a riveting journey through the Jewish lens on justice, mercy, and the celebration—or lack thereof—of an adversary's demise. Our conversation was sparked by the global reactions to the death of the Iranian president, Ibrahim Raisi Y"S, a poignant moment that brought ancient teachings squarely into the present. Rabbi Nagel shared his insights on the nuanced dance between human joy and angelic restraint, raising questions about our response to the end of wickedness.Amidst our dialogue, we traversed the moral landscape that defines Jewish identity, especially when confronting unrepentant foes. The episode traverses the treacherous path of "misplaced mercy" against the backdrop of survival, with historical echoes from the Mossad's storied interventions. Personal narratives and the hope-infused message of Pesach Sheini added layers of complexity to our discussion, reminding us that even amidst the gravest of circumstances, there remains room for repentance and redemption. As we scrutinized international reactions, including those of the United Nations, the conversation inevitably turned toward the critical need to uphold a clear moral compass in our world—a world where the distinction between good and evil must stand unwavering. Join Rabbi Nagel and Rabbi Wolbe for an episode that will confront your convictions and invite a deeper contemplation of justice, responsibility, and the enduring spirit of the Jewish ethos.This Episode (#21) of the Unboxing Judaism Podcast is dedicated in loving memory of Sara Bas Menachem Z"LRecorded in the TORCH Centre - Studio B  on May 23, 2024, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on March 23, 2024 Unboxing Judaism Podcast is a discussion on fundamental Jewish and modern cultural topics through the lens of our Torah and heritage with Rabbi Yaakov Nagel and Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe from TORCH, in Houston, TexasASK!

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.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=sharingRecorded 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.

Welcome back to another thought-provoking session of the Thinking Talmudist Podcast, where we continue to unravel the complex tapestry of Talmudic law. Listen in as we explore the nuanced responsibilities a father has toward his son, particularly in the context of redeeming a firstborn's status and the prioritization of religious duties. The fascinating debate between Rabbi Yehuda and the sages offers us a glimpse into the ancient wisdom that still resonates today, emphasizing the significance of performing commandments in their correct sequence.In this session, we also shed light on the distinctive roles men and women play in the sphere of Torah study. While men are tasked with the study and subsequent teaching of Torah to their sons, women are not bound by this obligation due to their intrinsic spiritual connection. We tackle the sensitive subject of how modern views on equality may inadvertently challenge the unique qualities of women, and how Jewish tradition celebrates these differences. Moreover, we discuss the societal and spiritual dynamics of marriage, revealing how these relationships foster growth and elevate both partners in their spiritual quests.Wrapping up, our conversation turns to the pivotal role parents play in shaping their children's moral compass, especially during the transformative years of 16 to 24. Whether it's through teaching Torah, ensuring a child's marriage, or providing continuous guidance, the parental duty remains a cornerstone of Jewish life. Amid the modern challenges posed by social media and shifting educational paradigms, we emphasize the importance of adapting our methods while holding steadfast to our values. Join us as we impart blessings for success in nurturing the next generation to be resilient torchbearers of Torah and common sense. 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 is Episode 55 of the Thinking Talmudist Podcast is dedicated for the Refuah of Avraham Ben Rivka.This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by David & Susan MarbinRecorded in the TORCH Centre - Studio B to a live audience on April 12, 2024, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 19, 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.

As parents we navigate the highs and lows of parenting, learning firsthand that the lessons we impart on our children resonate far beyond our words. In the midst of unpacking Parshas Emor, we stumble upon a profound truth in the redundancy of a Leviticus verse, as interpreted by Rashi: our obligation to actively educate our kids. In this episode we share not only the theoretical frameworks but also the heartfelt moments from our own journeys—like the nuanced dance of leading by example and the impact of our every action on our impressionable little ones. When we consider the metaphor of the firstborn's double inheritance, it becomes clear that the pioneering path of parenting our eldest is a mixture of trial, error, and invaluable learning that shapes our family legacy.Yet, the true essence of this episode lies in the power of owning our mistakes. We recount times when we've had to ask my own children for forgiveness, moments that have been both humbling and enlightening. These stories serve as a testament to the beauty in our imperfections, the courage in accountability, and the alignment with the divine principles that guide our lives. As we move through the discussion, it's our hope that you'll find inspiration in the endless journey of personal development and spiritual alignment, a path marked by continual growth and the pursuit of righteousness—a legacy we strive to pass down to our children. Join us for a candid exploration of what it means to be a parent in the fullest sense, and how we can embrace the challenge as the greatest gift of all.This episode (Ep 6.31) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Emor is dedicated in Honor of Dovi Wolbe & Adina Netzer on their Engagement & 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=sharingRecorded in the TORCH Centre - Studio B to a live audience on May 17, 2024, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 17, 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.

Unlock the secrets to cultivating a life of holiness and self-discipline as we are guided through the ancient wisdom of Parshas Kedoshim. Prepare to be inspired by how incorporating self-restraint into your daily routine can elevate your spiritual existence, reflecting the divine. This episode delves into the Torah's call for the Children of Israel to be holy and how this directive is as relevant today as ever. We explore the sage advice on sanctifying ourselves by exercising control even in permissible indulgences, drawing upon the exemplary life of the Chofetz Chaim and the practice of "Taanis HaReivid." Personal anecdotes shed light on the formative impact of kosher laws from a tender age, demonstrating the far-reaching implications of self-control and the understanding of boundaries within our society.Embark on a transformative journey to understanding the value of boundaries and how to impart this crucial life lesson to our children.

We touch upon the principle of "Kadesh Atzmecha B'mutar Lach," advocating for the voluntary addition of restrictions to enhance personal holiness.
