Podcasts about bechukosai

Returning from Israel with a heart weighed down by the sorrow of losing my grandson, I find myself on a transformative journey through grief and resilience. This episode pulls you into a deeply personal exploration of how life's toughest challenges can provide profound opportunities for growth. Through the story of the Baal Shem Tov, we unravel the spiritual significance behind every life event, contemplating how even the briefest of lives can fulfill a sacred mission. It's a reflection on finding purpose amidst pain and the miraculous healing that Jewish customs offer in the aftermath of loss.We draw inspiration from the teaching that each soul holds equal value in the eyes of Hashem, regardless of life's struggles or perceived shortcomings. This profound insight encourages empathy and understanding, emphasizing that every individual's journey is unique and deserving of respect. As we navigate through personal anecdotes and spiritual teachings, the emphasis lies on the power of silence, the comfort of presence, and the unspoken support that can truly heal a grieving heart.This episode closes with a heartfelt tribute to the strength found within community and shared prayers. By recounting personal experiences, including the unexpected lesson from a missed flight, we learn to see life's challenges as divine messages meant to guide us. Together, we embrace the idea that our struggles can unite us, offering us avenues for growth and understanding. Through unity, gratitude, and faith, we aim to find the strength that only Hashem can provide, ultimately seeking meaning in even the most challenging circumstances._____________This episode (Ep 7.30) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Behar-Bechukosai is dedicated 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 at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on May 30, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 30, 2025_____________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.

Behar/Bechukosai - Sanctifying Our Body

Behar/Bechukosai: Connecting to Our Source

Batya Ungar-Sargon shares Netziv commentaries on the parsha. These sessions are held on Zoom every week in memory of our mother in-law whose dedication to the Netziv (her great great grandfather), was legendary. It is estimated she studied the Ha'amek Davar some 78 times throughout her life, devoting every Tuesday to its study. May her memory be a blessing to her family and klal Yisroel.

Blessings From A to Z

וְצִוִּיתִי אֶת־בִּרְכָתִי לָכֶם בַּשָּׁנָה הַשִּׁשִּׁית וְעָשָׂת אֶת־הַתְּבוּאָה לִשְׁלֹשׁ הַשָּׁנִים׃ I will ordain My blessing for you in the sixth year, so that it shall yield a crop sufficient for three years.

Have you ever considered that Torah might be alive, seeking relationship with those who truly cherish it? This groundbreaking perspective transforms our understanding of what it means to "toil in Torah."At the heart of Parshas Bechukosai lies a divine promise of abundance – timely rain, bountiful crops, peace, health, and prosperity. The condition? "Im bechukosai telechu" – if you will go in My laws. But what does this really mean? Rashi's revolutionary interpretation reveals it's about being "ameilim baTorah" – toiling in Torah study. Yet why would God want us to suffer or struggle with His wisdom?The answer lies in understanding Torah as a living entity rather than a static text. As evidenced in Sefer Mishlei, where wisdom "cries out in the streets" and "raises her voice in the squares," Torah has a heartbeat, feelings, and desires. Just like any meaningful relationship, Torah seeks those who demonstrate sincere devotion and prioritization.This explains why Yehoshua earned leadership over Moshe's own son – not because of intellectual prowess, but because "he arranged the chairs and smoothed the tablecloths" in the study hall. He served Torah passionately, rising early and staying late, making it feel cherished above all else.True "ameilis baTorah" means courting Torah like a potential life partner – demonstrating that it's the most crucial relationship in your life. When we approach Torah this way – as a living presence rather than information to master – it reciprocates, "falling in love" with us and revealing its most profound wisdom.How might your relationship with Torah change if you treated it not just as a text to study but as a presence to honor, cherish, and prioritize? Start courting Torah today, and watch as it opens its heart to you, revealing treasures beyond imagination.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!Elevate your impact by becoming a TMC Emerald Donor!

1)      With regard to the custom to leave a bit of the end of the Challah, does it apply only to the Lechem Mishneh, or to other bread too?[1]2)      We use plastic tablecloths from a roll.

The laws of the Torah - all 613 of them - were conveyed by God to Moshe at Mount Sinai. This is explicitly conveyed regarding the first Mitzvah featured in the first of our double Parsha, the Mitzvah of shemitah, to allow the land to lie fallow each 7th year. When we examine the subject further, we find all sorts of connections between shemitah and Sinai. In this sprawling podcast, we discover the secret of shemitah and the imperative to aspire to angelic greatness.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –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.

Our Parsha contains some of the most difficult portions in the Torah, the Admonition. Our nation is told of the consequences of failing to adhere to the rules of God. The consequences are fierce and harsh. When this section is read in the synagogue, it is done quickly and in an undertone to prevent the congregation from lapsing into depression. But the Admonition ends on a comforting note: God promises to remember the covenant that He forged with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Notwithstanding our intransigent behavior and our betrayal of God, He pledges to ensure that we endure come what may. This podcast orients around a fascinating peculiarity in this comforting note. We discover the unique role that Jacob plays in our history, the difference between his Jacob and Israel personas, and his connection with Elijah, the heralder of redemption.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –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.

This week's double-Parsha closes out the Book of Leviticus. Parshas Behar begins at Mount Sinai, where the Almighty instructed Moshe to convey a series of laws to the Jewish people. The first is the mitzvah of Shemittah, the prohibition of engaging in any agricultural work every seven years. In two chapters in the Torah (Leviticus 26, Deuteronomy 28) we read about the positive consequences of obeying the Torah and heeding its laws; and the terrible, painful consequences of disobeying the Law. Though reading Parshas Bechukosai is scary and a tad depressing, the truth is that this framework is the secret to our nation enduring such long and painful exiles.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –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.
