In this Jewish Inspiration Podcast episode (Day 127), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe begins the Gate of Flattery (Sha'ar HaChanufa) from Orchos Tzaddikim, warning that flattery is a grave sin—often more dangerous than outright falsehood—because it distorts truth for personal gain. The chapter divides flattery into nine categories, with the rabbi focusing on the first and its severe consequences.Key teachings:First category of flattery — Praising or speaking smoothly to a known rasha (wicked person), ramai (deceiver), or thief—saying “you did nothing wrong” or “you're fine” when they are guilty.Multiple transgressions —Failure to rebuke (lo tochiah) when obligated—strengthens evildoers' hands.Not being zealous for truth—punishment for abandoning emes. Aiding sin—by reassuring them, prevents teshuva (repentance).Desecration of God's Name (chillul Hashem) if public—makes sin appear acceptable.Flattery = smooth tongue, not praise — It's saying one thing while thinking another (echad b'peh v'echad b'lev)—justifying evil, currying favor, or avoiding confrontation.Severe punishment — Flatterers cannot dwell in God's presence (one of four groups barred: liars, slanderers, flatterers, etc.). Talmud (Sotah) lists them among those excluded from Shechinah.Biblical & Talmudic sources — “Do not tremble before any man” (Deuteronomy); Agrippa story—flattering him as “our brother” led to destruction; “you shall not put a foreigner over you” caused tears and divine displeasure.Practical application — Never justify wickedness—even privately. Rebuke gently when possible; stay silent if they won't listen. Never praise evil to gain benefit. Truth must remain intact.The rabbi stresses: flattery is “kissing up” to wrongdoers—distorts reality, blocks teshuva, and desecrates God's Name. Live with uncompromising truth—even when uncomfortable._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 5, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on February 16, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

In this special Ask Away “Junior Edition” of the Everyday Judaism podcast, recoded during the Super Bowl Halftime, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe opens the floor to a group of young yeshiva students (ages 12–14) who ask thoughtful, deep questions on halacha, Torah, and Jewish life. The rabbi answers with warmth, clarity, and practical wisdom, often tying responses to broader lessons in emunah, mitzvot, and character.Key questions & answers:Aryeh Buchwald: Why does Hashem put us in Olam HaZeh instead of straight to Olam HaBa? — To remove “bread of shame” (nahama d'kisufa). If Hashem gave reward without earning it, we'd feel shame. This world lets us earn Olam HaBa through free will (bechira), overcoming challenges, and building a real relationship with Hashem.Shlomo Chaim Lieberman: Why is Yisro called “Chosen Moshe” and “Kohein Midyon” after his introduction, not just “Yisro”? — Yisro had seven names/titles. He explored every religion before discovering truth in Judaism and converting. The titles highlight his journey and stature—he overcame big challenges to join Klal Yisroel.Ephraim Yaghobian: Can a Jew work cleaning a church room that doesn't contain Avodah Zarah/Idolatry (e.g., priest's office)? — Generally permissible if no actual avodah zarah is present and no direct involvement in idolatry. Still, a God-fearing person may prefer to avoid any connection or send a non-Jewish worker instead. Each case should be asked to a local Orthodox rabbi.Yitzi Wolbe: Why does Gemara argue back and forth instead of just giving the halacha? — Judaism is about seeking truth (emes), not blind faith. Questions are essential—every page of Gemara has questions & answers to verify and deepen understanding. Other religions often forbid questions; Yiddishkeit welcomes them because truth withstands scrutiny.David Balsam: Why wait 6 hours after meat but only 30 minutes after milk? — Meat flavor lingers longer (stays between teeth); milk clears quickly. Hard cheese (e.g., Swiss) follows meat's waiting time because its flavor also persists.Shlomo Wolbe: Why so many different Minhagim (customs) if all Jews follow Torah? — Halacha gives a framework; minhagim are individual/community expressions of fulfilling mitzvot. Everyone must follow core halacha, but variations (e.g., hat styles, prayer customs) are allowed as long as they're rooted in Torah. Hashem loves diversity within unity—12 tribes each had their lane.Aryeh Buchwald: Is it allowed to pretend not to be home when a meshulach (charity collector) knocks? — Avoid outright lying (“I'm not home”). Better to say “I'm busy now” or “not able right now.” Don't say “I have nothing” (opens ayin hara). Giving with a smile is a huge privilege—Hashem sometimes appears as the poor person to see how we treat Him.Shlomo Chaim Lieberman: Eruv on Shabbos—why do we need it? — Biblical prohibition against carrying from private to public domain. Chazal created eruv as a rabbinic solution: string around neighborhood makes it one domain. One of seven major rabbinic enactments (others include netilat yadayim, Shabbos candles). Observe meticulously—many communities have multiple eruvim.The rabbi praises the boys' depth and encourages asking questions—Judaism thrives on seeking truth.Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

GRAY AREAS, part 4 — Do you often wonder what God thinks about drinking, vaping, gambling, tattoos, country music, TikTok, AI, LGBTQ+, chewing tobacco, living together unmarried, and many others areas of life? Many times we are tempted to classify these as “gray areas”. Gray is a combination of two totally opposite and distinct colors: black and white. If the Bible does not directly address a specific topic, how can we be clear on how God wants us to behave? Follow along our message series, Gray Areas, as we discuss some relevant issues and how we can handle them from a Biblical world view.

In this special Ask Away “Junior Edition” of the Everyday Judaism podcast, recoded during the Super Bowl Halftime, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe opens the floor to a group of young yeshiva students (ages 12–14) who ask thoughtful, deep questions on halacha, Torah, and Jewish life. The rabbi answers with warmth, clarity, and practical wisdom, often tying responses to broader lessons in emunah, mitzvot, and character.Key questions & answers:Aryeh Buchwald: Why does Hashem put us in Olam HaZeh instead of straight to Olam HaBa? — To remove “bread of shame” (nahama d'kisufa). If Hashem gave reward without earning it, we'd feel shame. This world lets us earn Olam HaBa through free will (bechira), overcoming challenges, and building a real relationship with Hashem.Shlomo Chaim Lieberman: Why is Yisro called “Chosen Moshe” and “Kohein Midyon” after his introduction, not just “Yisro”? — Yisro had seven names/titles. He explored every religion before discovering truth in Judaism and converting. The titles highlight his journey and stature—he overcame big challenges to join Klal Yisroel.Ephraim Yaghobian: Can a Jew work cleaning a church room that doesn't contain Avodah Zarah/Idolatry (e.g., priest's office)? — Generally permissible if no actual avodah zarah is present and no direct involvement in idolatry. Still, a God-fearing person may prefer to avoid any connection or send a non-Jewish worker instead. Each case should be asked to a local Orthodox rabbi.Yitzi Wolbe: Why does Gemara argue back and forth instead of just giving the halacha? — Judaism is about seeking truth (emes), not blind faith. Questions are essential—every page of Gemara has questions & answers to verify and deepen understanding. Other religions often forbid questions; Yiddishkeit welcomes them because truth withstands scrutiny.David Balsam: Why wait 6 hours after meat but only 30 minutes after milk? — Meat flavor lingers longer (stays between teeth); milk clears quickly. Hard cheese (e.g., Swiss) follows meat's waiting time because its flavor also persists.Shlomo Wolbe: Why so many different Minhagim (customs) if all Jews follow Torah? — Halacha gives a framework; minhagim are individual/community expressions of fulfilling mitzvot. Everyone must follow core halacha, but variations (e.g., hat styles, prayer customs) are allowed as long as they're rooted in Torah. Hashem loves diversity within unity—12 tribes each had their lane.Aryeh Buchwald: Is it allowed to pretend not to be home when a meshulach (charity collector) knocks? — Avoid outright lying (“I'm not home”). Better to say “I'm busy now” or “not able right now.” Don't say “I have nothing” (opens ayin hara). Giving with a smile is a huge privilege—Hashem sometimes appears as the poor person to see how we treat Him.Shlomo Chaim Lieberman: Eruv on Shabbos—why do we need it? — Biblical prohibition against carrying from private to public domain. Chazal created eruv as a rabbinic solution: string around neighborhood makes it one domain. One of seven major rabbinic enactments (others include netilat yadayim, Shabbos candles). Observe meticulously—many communities have multiple eruvim.The rabbi praises the boys' depth and encourages asking questions—Judaism thrives on seeking truth.Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

Brian Wilfong - The source and shape of Love Part 3 of the series Biblical Love

In week four of our Essentials series, we look at what Jesus teaches about serving in Matthew 20:20–28.Our culture often defines greatness through status, recognition, and influence — but Jesus completely reframes it. He shows us that true greatness in the Kingdom of God is found through humility, sacrifice, and serving others.But serving isn't meant to be something we schedule occasionally or treat like a task we clock in and out of. It's meant to be integrated into the way we live and relate to people every day. Biblical servants don't keep score, don't need recognition, and aren't driven by comparison — they are secure in their identity in Christ.We don't serve to prove our worth.We serve from our worth.As followers of Jesus, we are formed not by what we do occasionally, but by what we do consistently. And if serving was central to the life of Jesus, it must become central to ours.

After escaping martyrdom in Nazareth, early in his ministry, Jesus returns to the town of Capernaum, a Jewish fishing village on the Sea of Galilee's northwestern shore. It's a Biblical site that's mentioned in the Gospels as Jesus' second home and the place where he performed many miracles. E174. Books by Dr. Ralph F.

James Good and Eric Tereo discuss finance and investing with a Biblical perspective.

We all view things through a different lenses and our lenses shape our preferences. And even though Christians have a Biblical worldview, there are different perspectives that seem at odds with one another. How do we navigate the tensions as Christ followers in an increasingly secular world?

We finally come to the face-to-face meeting of Beatrice and Dante. We've waited for this moment since INFERNO, Canto II, when Beatrice first stepped into COMEDY.Neither Dante nor Beatrice speak at their close meeting. Instead, the women around the chariot beg Beatrice to reveal her second, hidden beauty: her mouth.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we explore the complex symbolism in this passage. We'll also take on its textual difficulties: a Biblical allusion that has been muddled in commentary, a lost word that's hard to translate, and a question of quotation marks in a medieval manuscript.To support this work, consider a one-time donation or a small monthly stipend by using this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:26] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXXI, lines 127 - 145.

“A Pastor's Plea” - a lesson on the importance of accountability and of speaking Biblical truth, even when it makes others perceive us as an enemy. Music: “A Crumb of Mercy.” Lyrics by John Fawcett. Arranged by Toby Logsdon. Performed by “Crimson Covenant.” Copyright ©TobyLogsdon, 2026

Who will eat at the table with God? This is actually a question the Biblical story wants us to ask. And it is answered by Jesus while dining with the Pharisees and Bible scholars of his day. His answer very much surprised them. And it will also surprise you.

In this message from Ephesians 3:1–13, Pastor Jim explores Paul's surprising digression about imprisonment, his call, and the breathtaking purpose of the church. What looks small and ordinary on the surface is actually cosmic in significance. Jim shows how Paul understood himself as a steward entrusted with the key to God's household, revealing that Jews and Gentiles now belong together as one new family in Christ. Through the church, God's multi-faceted wisdom is put on display not only to the world but to the spiritual powers themselves. This passage reminds us that our ordinary faithfulness, unity, forgiveness, and love carry eternal weight. The church is not the goal but the preview of what God is building, a foretaste of the coming kingdom where every tribe and language will gather around Jesus. Even suffering becomes part of the story as we live out worship, obedience, and proclamation in a world that resists reconciliation.

I. Introduction Welcome to the Victory Church podcast and Sunday worship gathering. Victory's mission: reaching the lost, restoring the broken, reviving believers.​ Joy and gratitude for being in God's house where worship, prayer, the Word, and fellowship occur.​ Emphasis that God's grace enabled people to be present, overcoming hindrances.​ II. The Nature and Purpose of Prayer Prayer and the Word as central priorities at Victory Church.​ Biblical commands to pray: “men ought always to pray,” “pray without ceasing,” “watch and pray,” “continue earnestly in prayer.”​ Clarification: prayer is not a religious ritual but a relational conversation with a loving Father.​ Prayer as sharing cares, dreams, concerns with God; Scripture as God sharing His thoughts and heart with us.​ III. Reactive vs. Proactive Prayer A. Reactive Prayer Definition: responding to events, crises, and immediate needs after they happen.​ Typical reactive requests: jobs, finances, housing, healing, family and school pressures.​ Affirmation: these needs matter to God; believers should cast all cares on Him.​ Problem: if this is the only kind of praying, discipleship and prayer life are out of alignment with God's best.​ B. Proactive Prayer Definition: creating or shaping situations by praying God's will in advance, not only reacting.​ Example from the Lord's Prayer: “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven” as a proactive request.​ Goal: move believers beyond crisis-only praying into kingdom-focused, forward-looking prayer.​ IV. Acts 4 as a Model of Prayer A. Context of Acts 4 Acts as early church history, showing the Spirit-empowered beginnings of the church.​ Peter and John preaching, healing a crippled man, and provoking opposition from religious leaders.​ Authorities command them not to speak or teach in the name of Jesus.​ Connection to today: pressure in culture to silence biblical truth and the name of Jesus.​ B. The Disciples' Response They return “to their own” (the church, fellow believers) when threatened.​ Principle: where you turn in crisis reveals much about your heart.​ They share the report as a prayer request and turn immediately to corporate prayer.​ They pray in alignment with Scripture (Psalm 2) and God's will, not just emotions.​ C. Content of Their Prayer (Acts 4:24–31) Acknowledge God as Creator and Sovereign Lord over heaven and earth.​ Rehearse Scripture about nations raging and rulers opposing the Lord and His Christ.​ Interpret persecution as part of God's sovereign purpose in Christ's suffering.​ Reactive element: “Lord, look on their threats.”​ Proactive element: ask for boldness to speak the Word, and for God's hand to heal with signs and wonders in Jesus' name.​ Result: the place is shaken, all are filled with the Holy Spirit, and they speak God's Word with boldness.​ V. Praying with the Word and God's Will Call to pray not only from need or emotion but aligned with Scripture.​ Examples of praying Scripture over needs (provision, healing, emotional and spiritual needs, relationships).​ Recognition that God's will includes timing; believers must be sensitive and obedient.​ Emphasis: there is power when prayer and the Word are joined.​ VI. From Problem to Launching Pad Observation: in Acts 4, the crisis launches the church into deeper proactive prayer, not retreat.​ Instead of praying primarily for safety and comfort, they pray for greater boldness and impact.​ Application: believers today should ask God to use trials to produce testimony, messages, and greater influence for His glory.​ VII. Call to a Proactive Kingdom Focus A. For Truth and Witness in a Confused Culture Culture tolerates generic “god talk” but reacts strongly to the exclusive claims of Jesus.​ Expect opposition when living and speaking biblical truth, without being obnoxious or hypocritical.​ The church must stand firm on Scripture, not be shaped by social media or worldly opinions.​ B. For Local and Global Mission Victory Church's call: reach Providence and the nations through evangelism and missions.​ Example: missions trips (Kenya, Sierra Leone, Liberia) and conferences to strengthen pastors and churches.​ Appeal for proactive prayer for missions: bold preaching, anointing, signs and wonders, and lasting fruit.​ C. For Revival and Awakening Distinction: revival for the church (bringing believers back to life), awakening for the lost.​ Invitation to pray for souls, discipleship, anointing, revival in churches, and awakening in the nation.​ Desire to create cultures of discipleship, evangelism, missions, and deep engagement with Scripture.​ VIII. Illustrations of Proactive Prayer in History and Life Personal testimony: long season in temporary housing, choosing contentment and kingdom focus while trusting God's timing.​ Application of Matthew 6:33: prioritizing God's kingdom and righteousness, trusting Him to add needed things.​ Biblical example: Job praying for his friends and receiving double restoration.​ Historical examples: John Knox's burden “give me Scotland or I die” and its influence.​ David Brainerd's fervent prayer for Native Americans and resulting impact.​ William Tyndale's martyrdom for translating Scripture and the later spread of English Bibles.​ The Moravians' 100-year prayer meeting and remarkable missionary sending.​ IX. Practical Application and Invitation Challenge: move beyond “needs-only” praying to kingdom-centered, proactive prayer.​ Specific areas to pray proactively: personal walk, church, ministries, missions, national awakening, and social issues.​ Encouragement to stay for times of corporate prayer, lifting up pastors, leaders, and global work.​ Final appeal: cultivate a passion that cries, “Lord, give us souls, give us revival, use my life and this church for Your glory.”

“All In: The Heart of a Disciple, Part Two”Mark 12:41-44Having recently completed our series “None Like Jesus” let's continue to “Behold Him” by embarking on a new study through the Gospel of Mark. Mark's Gospel is the shortest of the four Gospels and it is action-packed from start to finish – as evidenced by the word “immediately” used over 40 times. Mark wrote to believers, probably Roman believers, who were no strangers to persecution. And he wanted to disciple his readers to be strong in their faith by encouraging them to look to their Mighty Messiah, the Son of God, who remained steadfastly faithful even while becoming their Suffering Servant who died for them. Mark's Gospel is a call to all believers to fearlessly “Follow Jesus” because they can trust Him completely.
