In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues his exploration of Orchos Tzadikim (Ways of the Righteous), focusing within the chapter on laziness. Drawing from King Solomon's teachings in Proverbs, Rabbi Wolbe outlines seven characteristics of a lazy person, emphasizing their tendency to make excuses to avoid effort, such as fearing imaginary dangers like "lions in the streets" when urged to learn Torah from a visiting rabbi. He illustrates how laziness manifests as a refusal to act, even when opportunities—like free access to Torah resources in the modern era—are readily available. Rabbi Wolbe highlights the accessibility of Torah study today through platforms like YouTube, ArtScroll, and the All Daf app, noting that there are no valid excuses for ignorance in Judaism due to laziness. He shares a personal anecdote about learning Russian in the former Soviet Union by persistently collecting vocabulary, demonstrating how consistent effort transforms one-dimensional knowledge into a rich, multidimensional understanding, applicable to Torah study. Quoting Moses, Rabbi Wolbe underscores that Torah is "close to you, in your mouth and heart," requiring only action and desire to achieve greatness, not reliance on external blessings or lineage. He contrasts the lazy person, who procrastinates and fails to act, with the proactive individual who maximizes time and opportunities, such as listening to Torah classes while multitasking. The episode concludes with a Talmudic analogy of a lazy servant who feigns illness to avoid a king's missions, underscoring that laziness renders one unfit for both this world and the next. Rabbi Wolbe encourages listeners to train themselves to be proactive, overcome laziness, and seize the abundant opportunities for spiritual growth.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 3, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on July 1, 2025_____________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!

When we fall into sin, God is at work in our lives to remove that from us. Today, as we study Jeremiah 9, we'll learn about God's work in the children of Israel, even as they rebelled against Him. Join us! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. Have you ever been frustrated or disappointed with God's people? What did you do about it? Did you bring that matter to God and leave it with Him? Why or why not. 2. It is clear from verse 1, that Jeremiah is not pleased with the people of God. How does he characterize his despair? 3. There may even be times when we want to leave our problems behind. How does Jeremiah want to leave in verse 2? What reasons does he give at the end of the verse for his desire to leave? 4. Verses 3 to 6 return to the familiar theme of recounting the sins of the people. What are some of the sins listed in these verses? How do they reflect the kind of society that the people had devolved to? Was this the kind of society that was originally envisioned when God first called Abraham to establish a nation devoted to the Lord? 5. What is the refining work that God spoke of in verse 7? How will this purify His people? 6. What additional sins are presented in verse 8? What is the Lord's response to these sins in verse 9? Why is it important for us to know that the Lord will not leave sin unpunished? If we don't see such punishment in this world, why can we trust that all sin will be dealt by God in eternity? 7. What kind of judgment will befall the land in verses 10 & 11? 8. In verse 12, why does the Lord look for wise people to recognize what God is doing? If there is no one to recognize the reasons for their turmoil, what might the people think is the cause of their maladies? 9. What further judgment and punishment will the people receive in verses 13 to 16? Does the degree of judgment startle you? How does Deuteronomy 28-29 help us understand why the people would face this kind of judgment? As New Covenant believers, will we face this kind of judgment for our sin? Why not? 10. What kind of mourning is spoken of in verses 17 to 19? If the parents had taught their children to obey the Lord, would they have to teach them, in verse 20, to mourn? Why not? 11. Verses 23 & 24 are well-known verses that summarize the kind of life that God calls His people to pursue. Why don't you write these verses out in your own words. 12. Why does God call “wise people” to not boast in their own wisdom, in verse 23? Why do people often think that their wisdom is particularly wise? What does it mean to not boast in our own wisdom any longer? Where should our wisdom come from? How might you not look to your own wisdom, but instead look to God's wisdom? 13. What does it mean to know and understand God, in verse 24? Are you a person who knows God? How is God's refining work in your life helping you to know Him and His wisdom and His ways more in your life? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon!

An episode from Queanbeyan Bible Baptist Church (QBBC), a conservative, independent body of King James Bible believers located near Canberra, NSW Australia. What QBBC believes about the Holy Bible: That both verbal and plenary inspiration applies to the Scriptures known as the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament Canon. That is, that God literally breathed His words and that every part of the Scriptures is the Word of God. 2 Timothy 3:16. We believe that God preserved His words as he promised to do. These words are preserved in the original languages of Hebrew and Greek exactly the way He intended them to be without need of addition or subtraction to any part of them. We also believe that the doctrine of inspiration is of no value without the doctrine of preservation. We believe that the doctrine of inspiration is of no value without the doctrine of preservation. Therefore, the Authorized King James Version of 1611, is the perfect, preserved, inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God for English speaking people. Simply, the Authorized King James Version is the Scriptures in English. It should be read, memorized, obeyed, and trusted as the very words of God as He intended them to be. The King James Bible is superior to any other version available and is the final authority in all matters. Exodus 24:3; Deuteronomy 6:6-9; 29:29; Joshua 1:8; Job 23:12; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; James 1:22.

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast's Mussar Masterclass, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe delves into the 16th gate of the Orchos Tzaddikim, focusing on the destructive trait of laziness. He explains how laziness not only prevents individuals from fulfilling Torah study and mitzvahs but also leads to harmful outcomes, like a neglected field producing thorns, as illustrated by King Solomon's parable in Proverbs. Laziness fosters excuses, distorted rationalizations, and a preference for idle pursuits, such as mocking or chasing fleeting pleasures, which derail spiritual growth. Rabbi Wolbe contrasts this with the zeal of a righteous person who diligently engages in Torah and good deeds, urging listeners to overcome laziness to avoid missing opportunities for meaningful accomplishment in this world and the next.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 3, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 29, 2025_____________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!

Feeling overwhelmed by the battles you’re facing?In “God’s Protection for Times of Crisis,” Jennifer Slattery shares a powerful reminder that we’re never alone in the fight. Drawing from Deuteronomy 3:21–22 and her family’s personal story of workplace adversity, she shows how God not only walks with us—but fights for us. Just like the Israelites in the wilderness, we can anchor our faith in the truth that our God is trustworthy, present, and powerful in times of trouble. Key Takeaways: Why hardship often grows our faith more than comfort How God uses crisis seasons to build deeper trust and freedom Encouragement to move forward even when fear creeps in The importance of remembering God’s past faithfulness to fuel present courage

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe reflects on the miraculous events following Israel's preemptive strike on Iran, emphasizing the open miracles witnessed over the past two weeks, such as the halting of Iran's nuclear program and the unscathed survival of a family in Haifa despite a direct missile hit. He urges listeners to express gratitude to Hashem through blessings like HaTov VeHaMeitiv and Psalm 100, highlighting that these miracles—unlike everyday miracles like a functioning body or technology—are a divine call to deepen one's relationship with God. Rabbi Wolbe stresses the importance of vocalizing appreciation to internalize inspiration, drawing parallels to Yisro's transformative response to miracles, encouraging listeners to break from routine, perform mitzvahs, and strengthen their spiritual connection to Hashem.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on June 22, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 27, 2025_____________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!

All the commandments which I command you this day shall you observe to do, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers. And you shall remember all the way which the LORD your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, and to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not. And he humbled you, and allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you knew not, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD does man live. Your clothing grew not old upon you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years. You shall also consider in your heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you. Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.Deuteronomy 8:1-6Hello everyone and welcome to the Christian Educational Ministries Weekend Bible Study.

Support our sister on X and buy her book and join the Give Send go linked at @AnnaVanDellenGod arranged the assignment of this specific centurion to Jesus' hometown and ministry base of Capurnaum in advance for Jesus. Matthew 4:13Luke 7:1 – 10This centurion was advocated for by the leaders of the Jewish people when he had a need due to his generosity in building them a synagogue.Consider Acts 10:28. How much offense did he overcome? Psalm 119:165 (KJV)Matthew 8:5 – 13Same events are described.Differences in the accounts pertain to different aspects being found memorable by Luke / Matthew.Same centurion in my opinion as a student. Matthew Henry Commentary responsibly handled each event separately having no historical record to link them. (make mention of Grok calling Mark 15:16 & Matthew 27:27 a “rhetorical exaggeration”) I must incorporate more than consensus of experts because God's Word is life. Consider “safe & effective” evidence clock.If centurion wouldn't have carried out crucifixion, he would likely have been killed immediately, as well as his men. An example of a do or die situation.Mark 15:16 – 39Note that Simon of Cyrene's sons were mentioned by name in this account. In my inexpert opinion, this is because their lives became marked by God's blessing as a result of their father's service. (Save the explanation for time's sake.)Important detail: first account or witness attesting the centurion said, “Truly this was the Son of God.”Matthew 27:27 – 54Same events are described. Again, the differences come from what each disciple found memorable.Important: this passage contains the second witness verifying that the centurion said, “Truly this was the Son of God.” Deuteronomy 19:15Luke 23:33 – 47Very important detail: Luke 23:34 Jesus asked God the Father to forgive them (including the centurion).Important detail: the Bible refers to the centurion saying “This Man was in fact innocent,” as praise to God. I've learned a number of things from looking into how the Bible defines different terms at times.Same centurion.Consider how spiritual progress even works.Acts 10:22 says that the entire Jewish nation spoke well of him. Were there two such centurions?Given the scope of the Romans soldiers' involvement in Jesus' crucifixion (around 600 of them), I think it's realistic that the centurion who had supervised it ended up being promoted in a significant way.God answered Jesus' prayer for the centurion's forgiveness. He wasn't guilty for Jesus' death, even though he seems to have profited from it significantly. However, the centurion seems to have remained very mindful of his role in Jesus' death.Acts 10:2 Consider his entire household feared God – how easy is that to achieve, even for a strong leader?Acts 10:7 Consider his close associate was someone devout.Acts 10:33 He viewed himself as being before God in what he did in his life.
In this episode of the Thinking Talmudist Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe delves into the Talmudic discussion on Berachot 5A, focusing on Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai's teaching about three divine gifts given to the Jewish people through suffering: the Torah, the Land of Israel, and the World to Come. Rabbi Wolbe explains that these gifts—essential to Jewish spiritual identity—are acquired only through challenges and afflictions. He illustrates this with the historical struggles for the Land of Israel, such as the War of Independence, the Six-Day War, and other conflicts, emphasizing its unique spiritual significance as a land that "expands like a deer's hide" to accommodate its people, yet demands perseverance due to its contested nature. He also discusses the Torah's acquisition through distractions and personal sacrifices, sharing a story about Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, who prioritized Torah study over social events to invest in his spiritual growth. Finally, the World to Come is presented as an eternal reward earned through overcoming this world's challenges, each acting as a "badge of honor." Rabbi Wolbe concludes by previewing the next discussion on "afflictions of love" and invites listeners to engage further. The episode underscores the idea that spiritual rewards require effort and resilience, drawing from both Talmudic sources and contemporary examples.This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by David & Susan MarbinRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios to a live audience on June 20, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 27, 2025_____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way.

When culture demands compromise and voices claim to speak for God, how do we know who to trust? In this episode, Dr. John explores Deuteronomy 12:29-13:5, warning against the church's temptation to adopt cultural trends over biblical truth. He explains how to identify false prophets by testing their teachings against Scripture, concluding that Scripture alone speaks for God.Living the Moral Life: A Practical Application for Every Generation: Morality cannot be reduced to a bumper sticker. Neither is it the sum total of our debates, campaigns or banners. Morality is presented by how we live. The book of Deuteronomy is a second presentation of God's Law. It contains three sermons by Moses, as Israel stands on the border of the Promised Land. In this series, Dr. John highlights chapters 12- 17 in which Moses emphasizes living out God's commands for a moral life. Why should we listen? Because living a moral life speaks louder than any bumper sticker.

Of Korach's 253 collaborators, only three are named, and all three are Reubenites: Dathan, Abiram, and On Ben Peles. Dathan and Abiram remain true to Korach's cause until the very end when they and their families are swallowed alive by the miraculous sinkhole. On Ben Peles was spared thanks to his wife's wise intervention. In this very interesting podcast we trace the decision of the Reubenites to join the rebellion back to their progenitor Reuben, and learn the valuable tactic to avoid doom advocated by Jacob in his deathbed blessing to his eldest son. The lessons are valuable and instructive to Reubenintes and non-Reubenites alike. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE: 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.

We delve into one of the most significant speeches in history—Moses' final address to Israel in the book of Deuteronomy. Moses urges the Israelites to believe in Yahweh, follow the Law, and take the Promised Land. Additionally, we unpack Moses' prophecy about a future prophet like him, who will speak God's words and mediate between God and the people. This speech, remembered for over 3,000 years, not only recaps Israel's past but also looks forward to the coming of a prophet greater than Moses.Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

We've just wrapped up our series on Fathers and Daughters, and today we're kicking off a brand-new conversation: Fathers and Sons.While many of the same parenting principles apply to both sons and daughters, Scripture teaches that God created men and women with unique roles and responsibilities. That means our parenting approach toward sons should reflect those God-given distinctions.Whether your sons are still at home or fully grown, this conversation is for you. If you're a grandfather, these principles still apply as you influence your grandsons or encourage your adult sons in their own fatherhood journey.Impart Wisdom IntentionallyOne of the most important roles a father plays is helping his son pursue wisdom and pursue God. It's not enough to simply model wisdom; we need to have direct, intentional conversations about it.Proverbs 3:1-6 (NLT)"My child, never forget the things I have taught you. Store my commands in your heart... Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding."Solomon—the wisest man who ever lived—understood the importance of passing wisdom to the next generation. As dads, that's our responsibility too.Whether you're naturally talkative or more reserved, God calls every father to teach. This doesn't mean you need to be a Bible scholar or a polished speaker. Just be intentional.Deuteronomy 6:6-9 (NLT)"Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up."Practical ways to do this include reading the Bible together, listening to Bible-based podcasts, or using tools like the resources at pursueGOD.org.Proverbs 3:13-15 (NLT)"Joyful is the person who finds wisdom... Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her."A wise son will experience more joy and fewer regrets—whether it's about money, relationships, or making wise life choices.Teach Them to WorkFathers must teach their sons the value of hard work. Work is not a punishment—it's part of God's design for men.Genesis 2:15 (NLT)"The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it."Before sin entered the world, God gave Adam meaningful work. This shows that work is not a result of the fall—it's a fundamental part of being a man.Unfortunately, in today's culture, too many men are disengaged from the workforce. In August 2024, 6.8 million American men between ages 25 and 54 were neither working nor looking for work.As fathers, it's our job to push back...
In our culture of food allergies, specialized diets, and endless nutritional concerns, it's easy to forget that every meal is meant to be an act of worship. Dr. John examines Deuteronomy 12 and 1 Corinthians 10:31 to show how Israel's transition from wilderness manna to abundant dining teaches us about God's provision, sacrifice, and gratitude. A practical message about finding the sacred in our everyday meals and blessing our families through how we eat.Living the Moral Life: A Practical Application for Every Generation: Morality cannot be reduced to a bumper sticker. Neither is it the sum total of our debates, campaigns or banners. Morality is presented by how we live. The book of Deuteronomy is a second presentation of God's Law. It contains three sermons by Moses, as Israel stands on the border of the Promised Land. In this series, Dr. John highlights chapters 12- 17 in which Moses emphasizes living out God's commands for a moral life. Why should we listen? Because living a moral life speaks louder than any bumper sticker.
Psalm 4 Psalm 134 Deuteronomy 6:4-7 Prayer Requests to psp@sqpn.com
So many people go through life thinking they don't have a choice, "whatever will happen, and there is nothing you can do about it." But with God, this is not true. We have been given a choice. In Deuteronomy 30:19, God says, "I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live." Life and God's abundant life are not out of reach. God is giving us life, but we don't receive it by default; we must make a decision to choose life for ourselves.

In this weeks Shiur we tackle the confusing story of Korach based on the humility of Moshe. It is an eye opening look at how one is meant to go about giving of themselves to the klal and to mitzvot. Along the way we hear about whitewater rafting trips and WhatsApp etiquette. Enjoy!
Discover the transformative power of disagreement when approached with respect and understanding. In this episode, we unravel the story of Korach's rebellion against Moshe from Parshas Korach and draw from Rashi's teachings to highlight how disagreements can be natural and beneficial if they remain respectful. By sharing anecdotes of passionate debates among former Mossad leaders and rabbis over Talmudic interpretations, we illustrate how strong opposing views can coexist within respectful discourse. These lessons are increasingly vital in a world where political and social disagreements often escalate into personal conflicts.We also reflect on the role of conflict within relationships, using Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Aurbach as an example to emphasize that a lack of conflict might indicate a lack of true engagement. Extending this idea to international relations, we tackle the complexities of achieving peace between Israelis and Iranians, showcasing the importance of offering dignified exits from conflict. We examine strategies such as those employed by Trump to highlight the importance of allowing all parties to save face. As we conclude, we share a poignant story about the protective power of Torah books during a missile attack in Israel, underscoring the enduring need for peace and safety. Join us for a thought-provoking journey that emphasizes the pursuit of peace in our lives, both personally and globally._____________This episode (Ep 7.35) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Korach 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 June 20, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 25, 2025_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired!
