Sponsored By: YOUR LOCAL LEVYDuring Sefirah, when we focus on bein adam l’chaveiro, how should we relate to different sectors within Judaism—not just within Orthodoxy, but more broadly? If I believe that certain groups are making serious mistakes or are fundamentally wrong in their approach, what is my obligation? On the one hand, I understand that I should view all Jews as part of Hashem’s people and relate to them with a sense of unity. On the other hand, is it acceptable to distance myself and “love from afar” while still disagreeing with them? Within Orthodoxy, even with differences between groups, there is generally a shared framework of avodat Hashem. My question is mainly about relating across more distinct sectors, such as Dati Leumi/Mizrachi, Charedi, and Reform. Do I have an obligation to genuinely question my own assumptions and consider that they may be serving Hashem more correctly than I am, or can I remain committed to my own mesorah while still maintaining respect and a sense of unity? thank you kvod harav!

Sponsored by Anonymous:Dear Rabbi Orlofsky, It has been 30 years since I had the zchus of having you as my Mashgiach Ruchani at Yeshiva Ohr David. Looking back, it is clear that your guidance didn't just impact my years in Yeshiva; it has shaped the trajectory of my life and, by extension, the lives of my children. It brings me immense pleasure to see the genuine excitement my two daughters have whenever a new "Rabbi Orlofsky Show" is released. Your Torah and your perspective have become a staple in our home. In fact, one of my daughters is currently in seminary, and after a few months in the "system," she has officially concluded that the world is missing one vital institution: A Rabbi Orlofsky Seminary for Girls Who Want to Hear the Truth and Get the Most Out of their Year. I would like to dedicate this shiur in honor of my Aishes Chayil, Ana and my children, Danielle and Aliza. They make me so proud every single day with their tireless dedication to chesed, kiruv, and avodas Hashem. Finally, please consider this dedication a completely transparent and lightly veiled bribe. My daughter is ready and willing to work at your Pesach program - she’s hardworking, high-energy, and already knows all your jokes, so she’s basically overqualified. If that doesn't work, we’ll settle for a Shabbos invite. We promise to laugh at all the stories we’ve already heard on the show.Pesach Program:https://www.rabbiorlofsky.com/pesach-5786Phone / WhatsApp - Tzippy at Castles: 02-538-9911Email - [email protected]

They say, “Those who understand, teach.” And you teach in a way that helps us understand not just the Torah, but how to live it with simcha. The way you blend Torah, avodas hamiddos, and stories of Gedolim, along with that contagious laughter, is pure gold. And yes... I even use your jokes, beshem omro, though the delivery is definitely better on your side of the microphone. Wishing you continued hatzlacha, much nachas, and many more years of spreading Torah, chizuk, and joy around the world. Shkoyach!.

Sponsored by Canada Rosens Thank you for your fresh and very practical perspective on Torah and Yiddishkeit. In particular, your re-framing of the Aguna "Crisis" into a choice between marriage v.s. pilegesh was excellent. It's a great example of how the world uses inflammatory positioning to get us to lose sight of the ikkur issue. Keep up the great work.

We love your powerful insights and incredible sense of humor and we are constantly amazed by how you use both to weave your way through so many complicated topics, all the while coming out with a practical real world application. I wanted to sponsor your show in honor of my wife on our 5th anniversary on September 6th, or the 17 of Elul. I wanted to thank Hashem for blessing me with such an aishes chayil, and my prayer is that all the singles in klal Israel who are looking to get married will be blessed with finding such an aishes chayil, if not before this Rosh Hashanah certainly married before the next. Lastly, I wanted to give you (Rav Orlofsky) a bracha that you should continue to share Torah in good health and strength for many years to come.

Hi K'vod Harav, I'm the same sponsor from this week's episode, I just wanted to clarify that I don't deserve as much credit as it may have come off as, I had discovered the Rav's shiurim and podcasts about six years ago, when the podcast was still in its first few weeks (I think maybe episode 6, or somewhere around there), so there weren't that many podcasts yet at the time to catch up on. When I discovered it though I did go back to find and listen to all of the Rav's previous shiurim that I could find online. Thank you again K'vod Harav for everything the Rav does and for all of the chizzuk and inspiration that we all gain from the Rav's shiurim and podcasts. May the Rav always continue to inspire us, and may we all grow in Torah and all good things, and be zocheh to see mashiach and the binyan beit hamikdash bimheira beyameinu amen.
