    Ivy Insights

    The Torah Sparks with Ori podcast is an incredibly enjoyable and inspiring show to listen to. Rabbi Strum, also known as Ori, brings a fresh perspective to each weekly Torah portion with his funny and engaging style. His ability to make the ancient teachings feel relevant and down-to-earth is truly remarkable. I eagerly look forward to each new episode, knowing that I will be inspired and uplifted by his insightful words.

    One of the best aspects of The Torah Sparks with Ori podcast is Ori's unique ability to connect daily life to the parsha, or weekly Torah portion. He takes ancient stories and teachings and relates them to modern-day experiences in a way that is relatable and impactful. This not only helps to deepen our understanding of the parsha, but also shows us how its lessons can be applied in our own lives. Ori's words are calculated and thought-provoking, leaving listeners with a deeper appreciation for the relevance of Torah teachings in today's world.

    While it is hard to find any flaws in this podcast, one possible downside could be its brevity. Each episode is short and sweet, getting straight to the point without much elaboration. While this can be seen as a positive aspect for those who prefer concise content, others may wish for more in-depth explanations or discussions on certain topics. However, considering that The Torah Sparks with Ori podcast aims to provide bite-sized nuggets of inspiration on a weekly basis, its format is appropriate and effective.

    In conclusion, The Torah Sparks with Ori podcast is a must-listen for anyone seeking insightful and uplifting divrei Torah (words of Torah). Rabbi Strum's talent for making ancient teachings feel fresh and exciting shines through in each episode. His humor, charisma, and wide breadth of knowledge make his divrei Torah thought-provoking and inspiring for all listeners. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone looking for a meaningful connection to the weekly Torah portion that can positively impact their lives.

    The Rotten but Smiling Sweet Potato | The Importance of a Happy Face

    Play Episode Listen Later 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.

    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
