Unboxing Judaism

We need your help!! August is Podcast Improvement Month at TORCH ... Please help us improve at TORCHsurvey.comPrepare to embark on a captivating journey with Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe and Rabbi Yaakov Nagel, as they trace the intricate customs of hair covering for married Jewish women back to its roots in the Torah. Promise to be intrigued as they grapple with challenging questions - from the extra stringency of some women choosing to shave their heads to the ongoing halacha discussion about the modesty of wearing wigs. They provide rich insights, exploring the various perspectives held by different rabbis and dissecting why this custom holds an irreplaceable position in our tradition.In the latter section of their conversation, they shift their focus to the potent power encapsulated in modesty and dignity. Modesty is more than a superficial trait, it's a character attribute that translates into our behavior and demeanor. They discuss the royal elegance it confers, the intrigue it arouses, and the admiration it draws. Their conversation will highlight how our status as children of Hashem is reflected in the grace and dignity we maintain and how this is perceived even outside the Jewish community. Be prepared for a compelling discussion on how modesty profoundly shapes our self-perception, relationships, and interactions with the world at large.this Episode (#18) of the Unboxing Judaism Podcast is dedicated in honor of Dr. Leonard & June Goldberg*****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, TexasTo have your questions featured in a future podcast, please submit your questions to unboxing@torchweb.orgRabbi Yaakov Nagel is the founding member of TORCH and has been active since 1998.
