Podcasts about every jew

This is how you know the "pro-Palestinian" movement is a farce for modern-day antisemitism at its core. Every Jew must take notice.

he Rebbe notes that opposition to his study and teaching of Chassidus shows success. He should respond with greater strength, spreading Torah's light with warmth and peace, without magnifying obstacles. Every Jew inwardly seeks the inner Torah, and this hastens Mashiach. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/015/013/5728

Artist Kimberly Brooks joins Zibby to discuss 10 THINGS EVERY JEW SHOULD KNOW BEFORE THEY GO TO COLLEGE, a book she illustrated alongside co-authors Emily Schrader and Blake Flayton. Kimberly shares what inspired her to create a clear, accessible guide for students navigating antisemitism and distorted narratives on campus. She and Zibby discuss the importance of arming the next generation with facts, the role of Jewish education, and why this book feels like both a shield and a toolkit at such a critical time.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3Uz5OlSShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!JOIN ME!

התוכן 1) [המשך] וההוראה: כאשר א' רואה במדבר הגלות "נחש שרף ועקרב" – צריך לזכור שה"גדול ונורא", ה', נותן לו כוח זה! (וכמ"ש בשיעור חומש דיום זה ששייך להיות "ושכחת את ה' אלקיך" עד כדי כך שאינו רואה ש"הוא הנותן לך כח לעשות חיל"). ואז יוכל לפעול שה"נחש שרף ועקרב" הזה לא רק ש"לא ירעו ולא ישחיתו" אלא עוד יסייע לכל א' בקיום תומ"צ וכו'. וזה גם מה שדובר לעיל אודות הפצת המעיינות עצמן, ש"מקור מים חיים" הוא הרי ה"גדול ונורא", הקב"ה – בתוך ה"חוצה" עצמו. 2) בפ' עקב כתוב ענין נפלא ש"לא בצדקתך וביושר לבבך אתה בא לרשת את ארצם כי ברשעת הגוים האלה ה' אלקיך מורישם מפניך ולמען הקים את הדבר אשר נשבע ה' לאבותיך וגו'". ואם רואים שה"רשעת הגויים האלה" קיים ותקיף והולף ומוסיף, הרי עאכו"כ שכ"ה בנוגע "למען הקים את הדבר אשר נשבע ה' וגו'". ועל כל יהודי להכריז בגלוי שארץ ישראל ניתן לישראל ע"י ה', ויש לאחוז בו בתוקף של "גדול ונורא", ועי"ז יתהפכו ה"נחש שרף ועקרב" לסייע לבנ"י להביאם לארצנו הק'.ב' חלקים משיחת אור לט"ו באב ה'תש"מ ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=12-08-2025 Synopsis (Continued.) (1) The lesson is that when a person sees “snakes, vipers, and scorpions” in the desert of exile, he must remember that Hashem, who is “great and awesome,” gives him the power to overcome them. (As it says in today's Chumash, it is possible to “forget Hashem your G-d” to the extent that one doesn't recognize that it is “He who gives you the strength to make wealth.”) And thus he will be able to cause the “snakes, vipers, and scorpions” to not only “neither harm nor destroy,” but even to assist every Jew in their fulfillment of Torah and mitzvos etc. This is also what was discussed earlier about spreading the wellsprings themselves; the “source of living waters,” Hashem, is “great and awesome” within the “outside” itself. (2) Parashas Eikev contains a wondrous idea: “You are coming to take possession of their land neither because of your righteousness nor because of the integrity of your heart. Rather, it is because of the wickedness of these nations that Hashem your G-d is driving them out from before you, and in order to fulfill the promise that Hashem swore to your forefathers….” – if one sees that the “wickedness of these nations” still exists and continues to intensify, then certainly that is the case regarding “in order to fulfill the promise that Hashem swore….” Every Jew must openly declare that Eretz Yisroel was given by Hashem to the Jewish people, and must hold onto it with the strength of the “great and awesome” one, and in this way the “snakes, vipers, and scorpions” will be transformed so that they will assist in bringing the Jewish people to our Holy Land.2 excerpts from sichah of 15 Av 5740 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=12-08-2025

When the False Moshiach Came to the Baal Shem Tov for Healing; When Unkelus Raised Titus, Baalam, and Yeshu from the GraveThis class was presented on Tuesday, 4 Av, 5785, July 29, 2025, Parshas Devarim, at a new location, The Barn @ 84 Viola Rd. in Montebello, NY. The class tells the incredible story of Unkelus, who raised three people from the grave: Titus, Balaam, and Yeshu. What the Maharal and Reb Tzadok explain about the core of the Jewish soul, and how we must never confuse our blockages with our essence. We explain the downfall of Yeshu and Shabti Tzvi, and the incredible story of the false Messiah coming to the Baal Shem Tov for spiritual healing. We discuss how to view our struggling children and students who may be engulfed in confusion and pain.View Source Sheets: http://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9740

The Rebbe encourages turning inspiration into action in Ahavas Hashem, Torah, and Yisrael. He emphasizes the importance of reaching every Jew, especially during Pesach, and blesses the writer and family with a kosher and joyous Yom Tov. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/004_igros_kodesh/nissan/983

They say that to be Jewish is to carry memory, and to be Israeli is to carry responsibility. Naturally, Israel has embraced this burden.

In this profound opening to Likutei Moharan Torah 27, we explore the sweeping vision of Rabbi Nachman: a world unified in service of Hashem. Drawing on the Athenian sages' question about the chick in the shell, this shiur reframes individual avodah as inherently cosmic. How does Shalom become the vessel for Giluy Shechinah? What is the deeper meaning of Ha'aras Panim, and how is it rooted in the Torah and the Tzura Adam?We delve into:The global mission of every Jew and how each neshamah is a microcosm of creation.Why true unity (Shalom) isn't just about avoiding conflict but about mutual bitul toward a higher goal.How Yaakov Avinu, Ha'aras Panim, and the Shemos of Hashem reveal divine structure in the world.The role of Torah as blueprint and how each of the 600,000 souls uniquely expresses one facet of that truth.What it means to bring the world to serve Hashem b'shem echad, not through conformity but harmony.-----Quotables: "You can't achieve shalom by being separate. True shalom (peace/completion/perfection) is when each soul fulfills its unique role within a single divine symphony.""Every Jew contains all the worlds within themselves—our personal refinement reshapes creation itself."

התוכן הרמב"ם במשנה תורה ואדה"ז בשו"ע כותבים "בכל דור ודור חייב אדם להראות את עצמו כאילו הוא עתה יוצא משעבוד מצרים", וב"נוסח ההגדה" (וכן אדה"ז בתניא) כותבים "לראות כו'". כי החיוב בליל הפסח, שאודותיו מדובר ברמב"ם ובשו"ע, הוא שסיפור יצי"מ צ"ל באופן ד"והגדת לבנך" – לא רק "לראות את עצמו" (כבכל יום) אלא גם "להראות" לאחרים. אבל בשעה שמקיים ה"להראות" ע"י אמירת ההגדה אומר "חייב לראות", כי החיוב שנשאר לאח"ז (בכל יום) הוא רק "לראות". וזה שבשאר הפוסקים כתוב [נוגע לחיוב בליל הפסח] "לראות" הוא – כי לדעתם ה"והגדת לבנך" ("להראות") שבליל הפסח הוא דין בפ"ע ורק "לכתחילה", ואין לכללו בעיקר החיוב המעכב – "לראות" מה ש"עשה ה' לי בצאתי ממצרים". ויה"ר שכל א' יקיים בעצמו בימים שלפני הפסח הענין ד"לראות את עצמו וכו'", והעיקר – שכל אחד מישראל יצא מהגלות [שאפילו "פושעי ישראל" הם "ישראל", משא"כ אפי' "חסידי אוה"ע" הם "אומות העולם", ויש לבטל את הענין ד"עמלק בגימטריא ספק" שבזה וכו'].א' השיחות דהתוועדות יום א' פ' שמיני, י"א ניסן ה'תשל"ה ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=15-04-2025 Synopsis The Rambam writes in Mishneh Torah, and the Alter Rebbe writes in his Shulchan Aruch, that, “In every generation, a person is obligated to show himself as if he is now leaving the slavery of Egypt.” However, the Rambam's wording in the text of the Haggadah (and likewise, the Alter Rebbe's wording in Tanya) is “to see himself….” The reason is because the halachos in Rambam and the Alter Rebbe's Shulchan Aruch are discussing the obligation on Pesach night, where one must tell the story of leaving Egypt by “telling your son” – not just “seeing oneself” (which is a mitzvah every day), but also telling someone else, “to show.” But during the Seder itself, when one is actually reciting the Haggadah (in fulfillment of the obligation “to show”), he says, “A person is obligated to see,” because from that point on, the obligation remaining afterward (every day) is only “to see.” The reason that other Poskim write “to see” (even in the context of describing the obligation of Pesach night) is because they hold that the mitzvah to “tell your son” (“showing”) on Pesach night is a separate law in its own right, that should be done lechatchilah, but isn't strictly necessary for, and shouldn't be included in, the main obligation, which is “to see” what “Hashem has done for me when I came out of Egypt.” May it be Hashem's will that in the days leading up to Pesach, everyone merit to “see himself leaving Egypt” etc., and the main thing – that every Jew leave exile. (Every Jew, even the “sinners of the Jewish people, are still “Jewish people,” whereas even the “pious of the nations of the world” are still “nations of the world”; any doubts (“Amalek”) and confusion concerning the distinction between the two (regarding the “Who is a Jew?” issue) should be nullified etc.)Sichah from farbrengen of Sunday, Parashas Shemini, 11 Nissan 5735 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=15-04-2025

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. What a meaningful week we've just started! And walking through Easter with your family, friends, and even strangers can be a wonderful way to share the Gospel with them. Because truly, the Good News of the Gospel happened that very first Easter week and started with Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey. At first glance, that may not seem like much…but truly, this was an amazing and powerful act. Jesus' entry on a donkey claimed His rightful place as their Messiah—the One who came to save His people from their sins. Every Jew there would have known Zechariah's prophecy of the King and the Messiah coming—triumphant and victorious!—on a donkey colt. And that's why they shouted, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” King Jesus came to be the sacrifice for sinful humans. And all who place their trust in Him alone, “He gives the right to become children of God.” For more, visit our website at sharelife.today.

The Passover story was never ancient history. October 7th proved it, once again.

Intro to Perek 1 Part 2 - Love Every Jew by Rabbi Avi Zakutinsky

Rabbi Eli Mansour's NEW Book - Maayan Eliyahu on Pesah is here!! (Derashot in English for the upcoming Sedarim) CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO ORDER YOUR COPY https://itorahbooks.com/produc ts/maayan-eliyahu-pesach- hardcover?mc_cid=08f9dc045e& mc_eid=f5807e4c64 Every Jew has a neshama that is literally a part of Hashem. No matter how distant a person may seem from religion, he will always have an inner connection to Hashem—because that is his essence. Deep down, every Jew has emunah ; sometimes, it just needs to be brought out. A man once shared that he was at a hotel for Pesach , and early one Chol HaMoed morning, he went to the breakfast room to prepare a bottle for his daughter. A waiter approached him and asked for a d'var Torah . It seemed like an unusual request, as the waiter did not look Jewish. After sharing a Torah thought, the man was shocked when the waiter revealed that his mother was Jewish—but he was about to marry a non-Jewish woman. Recognizing the significance of the moment, the man introduced him to the rabbi at the hotel, who spoke to him at length, trying to convince him to reconsider. Amazingly, four years later, this man is now fully religious and engaged to a bat Yisrael . The neshama of a Jew yearns for a relationship with Hashem, even if it may not seem that way on the surface. A rabbi from Arachim , a well-known outreach organization, shared a similar story: Many years ago, he was on a flight from New York to Israel. Sitting next to him was a man named David, who took a sleeping pill the moment the flight began. Something about David seemed familiar, but the rabbi couldn't place where he knew him from. Five hours later, David woke up, and the rabbi tried to start a conversation. David immediately shut him down. " I'm not interested in religion. I don't want to discuss it. " He mentioned that he had gone to yeshiva as a child but had since left religion entirely. It was then that the rabbi realized—David had attended the same yeshivah as he had! Curious, the rabbi asked him why he had abandoned Judaism. David explained, "At first, I felt lonely in yeshivah and realized I wasn't going to become anything special there. Slowly, I started becoming angry—first with the people, then with the religion. And now, I don't even believe in Hashem anymore." The rabbi asked if he could share just one story. David agreed. The rabbi told him about an event that had been recorded by Simcha Raz, the author of Ish Tzadik Hayah , about Rabbi Aryeh Levine. Simcha Raz was once invited to a gathering of dignitaries, where some of Israel's top military officials were present. He was the only one in the room wearing a kippah , and some people began challenging him about his belief in Hashem. He asked them, "When you go into battle, do you have a plan, or do you just wing it?" A general replied, "Of course, we have a plan! We also have a Plan B in case Plan A doesn't work. And we even have a Plan C in case Plan B fails." Simcha Raz then said, "I see that you don't believe in Hashem. But what if you're wrong? What if, after 120 years, you are banished from Olam Haba? Shouldn't you at least have a Plan B—just in case?" The general responded, " You only need a Plan B when there is a doubt about Plan A. But I have no doubt that religion is false. In fact, to prove it, I'll even write you a contract right now, signing over my Olam Haba to you." And so they did. The general wrote up a contract, signed it, and handed it over to Simcha Raz. Two days later, the general's son showed up at Simcha Raz's house, pleading for the contract back. At first, Simcha refused. He told the boy to come back in a few days. Then, he asked his rabbi what to do. His rabbi advised him to return the contract. When the son came back two days later, begging once more, Simcha gave it to him. The boy then revealed, "My father doesn't want to take the risk. He decided to follow your advice and have a Plan B." The rabbi then told David, "You see every Jew deep down feels the truth. Maybe you should second guess your decision about leaving Hashem." David remained silent, and that was the last they spoke on the plane. But recently, the rabbi attended an Arachim seminar—and saw David there, wearing a kippah . David told him, "When I saw all the hostages who weren't religious before saying that what kept them going was their tefillot, their Tehillim, and their connection to Hashem, I realized—I don't want to take the risk. Maybe it's real." Every Jew has a spark inside of him, yearning to be close to Hashem. If we ever have the opportunity to help someone who has strayed, we must remember—deep down, they want it. They just need the right words to bring it out.

There is a lot of confusion about this horrible ceasefire deal. Understand this, ceasefire or not, this war is far from over.  Every Jew or Israel supporter should hold their heads up high! We are victors! Join me to better understand what is going on.

Mia is a student at Wilfrid Laurier University and as part of a recent course, she asked to interview me. The conversation that was had flowed so smoothly that I thought it would make an interesting, albeit unusual, podcast episode. I hope you enjoy and please let me know what you think of this format.

התוכן א) ספר יד החזקה להרמב"ם קשור עם הגאולה העתידה שכן סיומו וחותמו הוא בהלכות הקשורות עם מלך המשיח. ב) בשיעור רמב"ם היומי נאמר: "מזבח שנפגם נפסלו כל הקדשים שהיו שם שחוטין במקדש שעדיין לא נזרק דמם שהרי אין שם מזבח לזרוק עליו וכו'" (דכשם שקרבנות, והכהנים המקריבים אותן, צ"ל באופן של תמימות, כמו"כ צריך גם המזבח להיות שלם, וכאשר נפגם המזבח נפסלו הקרבנות), אבל "קדשים חיים שהיו שם.. לא נפסלו.. שאין בעלי חיים נדחין". ההוראה הנפלאה: כאו"א מישראל הוא בבחי' "בעלי חיים" כיון שקשור עם ה' מקור החיים, וזה מתבטא בפועל ע"י קיום התורה "תורת חיים" וקיום המצוות עליהם נאמר "וחי בהם" - וכין שכן הרי בכל מצב, גם כאשר המזבח פגום וכו', "אינו נדחה"!משיחת צום גדלי' ה'תשמ"ו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=11-09-2024 Synopsis (1) The connection between the coming of Moshiach and the Rambam's Yad Hachazakah – which concludes with the halachos pertaining to Moshiach. (2) Today's Rambam states: “When a mizbeach became damaged, all of the kodashim in the Sanctuary that had been slaughtered, but whose blood had not been cast on the mizbeach, are disqualified, for there is no mizbeach on which to cast the blood” (i.e., just as the korbanos and the kohanim must be without blemish, so must the mizbeach be without blemish). However, “kodashim that were alive…are not disqualified…for living animals are not disqualified.” This teaches us a wondrous lesson: Every Jew is “alive” by virtue of his connection to Hashem, the Source of Life – and this is expressed practically by his keeping the Torah of life and the mitzvos, of which it says, “and live by them.” And because he is alive, in every situation, even if the mizbeach is damaged, “he is not disqualified.”Excerpt from sichah of Tzom Gedalia 5746 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=11-09-2024 לע”נ ר' נח ב"ר יעקב דוד הכהן ע"ה ליום היארצייט שלו ח' אלול. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.נדבת בנו ר' אברהם דוד הכהן שי' טייטלבויםלע”נ הרה"ת ר' יוסף צבי ב"ר חיים ע"ה וואלאוויק ליום היארצייט שלו ח' אלול. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.נדבת בתו מרת חנה ובעלה ר' דוד שיחיו יוניק

This Week's learning was sponsored in honor of the yahrtzeit on Beis Elul of Tzvi ben Shmuel. May his neshama have an aliyah and may his family be reunited all together with the coming of Moshiach! To sponsor a sicha, reach out to Etty 6197570486! Topic: The unique (and shocking) mitzvah of “Egla Arufa” - (“decapitated calf”), performed when a murdered person was found out in the field and the killer was unknown. The details of how this mitzvah is performed highlights the tragedy of what happened with this person. There are different opinions on which part of this tragedy to focus on, the murdered, the murder, or the murderer. Rashi focuses on the ONE who was murdered. We are all responsible for this person. We dont get to “dump” or “excuse away” the situation thinking “maybe somehow this person brought this on himself - not even using Torah sources for this” NO! We must RUN to look out for each other. Where do I put my energy? We all have to be shaken up. A, I ensuring that when ppl go on their way - they will be safe, right food, right clothing, right protection of yiddishkeit and torah and mitzvos? In this month of Elul especially, Hashem is ready for EVERY Jew. I must go out of my way to care for every Jew, not just in the city, but in the field! With the tragedy of the 6 yidden murdered this week, please take the time to listen to this sicha, and take on an active resolution to reach out to someone else. (Parshas Shoftim, Chelek Chof Daled p.121.)

התוכן בתניא באגה"ק סי' ז' מדובר ע"ד הענין ד"מצוה דהוי זהיר בי' טפי". דאע"פ שכל יהודי מחוייב לקיים את כל מצוות התורה, וכמ"ש "אנכי ה' אלקיך וגו'", שהקב"ה פנה כביכול לכאו"א בפ"ע ואומר לו "אנכי ה' אלקיך וגו'", ועד"ז כל המצוות, מ"מ, יש לכאו"א מצוה מיוחדת שבה "זהיר טפי". ובלשונו של אדה"ז: "ואף שכל נפש מישראל צריכה לבוא בגלגול לקיים כל תרי"ג מצוות מ"מ לא נצרכה אלא להעדפה וזהירות וזריזות יתירה ביתר שאת ויתר עז כפולה ומכופלת למעלה מעלה מזהירות שאר המצוות". לדוגמא: החיוב לדאוג שגם הזולת יעסוק בתומ"צ הוא על כאו"א, אבל בנוגע להמרא דאתרא ה"ז "מצוה דהוי זהיר בי' טפי". בהגהות אאמו"ר על גליון ספר התניא שלו, מבאר ג' הלשונות "להעדפה וזהירות וזריזות" עפ"י קבלה. ובאותיות פשוטות: העדפה: שהאדם מתמסר בעשיית המצוה בלב ונפש, תנועת האהבה והחסד – קו הימין. זהירות: זהירות בקיום מל"ת, תנועת הגבורה והדין – קו השמאל. זריזות: ההחלטה שיש לקיים מ"ע או להזהר במל"ת באה מיד כמו שהיא לידי פועל – קו האמצעי, שלא משתנה בין קצה העליון לקצה התחתון.משיחת כ"ף מנחם אב ה'תשכ"ד ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=30-08-2024 Synopsis Siman 7 of Iggeres Hakodesh discusses the idea of “the mitzvah in which one is especially vigilant.” Meaning, although Every Jew is obligated to keep all the mitzvos, nevertheless, everyone has a special mitzvah in which he is especially vigilant. As the Alter Rebbe writes, “And although every Jewish soul needs to be reincarnated in order to fulfill all 613 mitzvos, nevertheless this [heightened attention focused on a particular mitzvah] is necessary only for the sake of an additional increase, vigilance and zeal, with greater magnitude and greater vigor, doubled and redoubled above and beyond his vigilance in other mitzvos.” For example, while everyone is obligated to see to it that others engage in Torah and mitzvos, for a Rav, it's a “mitzvah in which he must be especially vigilant.” In my father's notes on the margins of his Tanya, he explains these three expressions, “increase, vigilance and zeal” according to Kabalah. In simple terms: “Increase” means one devotes himself to doing the mitzvah with his heart and soul; this comes from the attribute of love and kindness, the “right line.” “Vigilance” means fulfilling the negative mitzvos by refraining from what is forbidden; this comes from the attribute of severity and judgment, the “left line”. And “zeal” means that as soon as one decides to do a mitzvah, he incorporates it immediately into practice; this comes from the attribute of the “middle line,” which runs directly and unchanged from top to bottom.Excerpt from sichah of 20 Menachem-Av 5724 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=30-08-2024

A remarkable hymn to Jerusalem! - Yes - the city of God; but also, every Jew finds his or her roots in Jerusalem and can feel that it is the city in which they belong.

KORACH You Are The Story Jealousy at its core stems from one's misalignment with their own value and worth. It is the fundamental misunderstanding of one's role in the world The Rebbe, a Jewish leader who dedicated his life to reaching every single Jew. There have been righteous individuals who opened their doors to those who knocked on them, The Rebbe devoted all his resources to caring for a small community on the other side of the world – one that had not heard of him and did not belong to his sect, followers, or students. This was not just Ahavas Yisroel, but it stemmed from a profound appreciation of Jews. Every Jew is an entire world. Each one possesses an intrinsic value that makes them an only child to Hashem. Everyone also has their own beauty, quality, and unique purpose that is part of a mission upon which the world depends. If you're jealous of someone else, you simply haven't quite understood who you are and why you matter. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mendy-goldberg/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mendy-goldberg/support

One of the great ploys of the evil inclination is to get a person to believe that Hashem is not interested in his service, especially when things aren't going the way the person wants, and he tries harder to do more mitzvot, but things still don't improve. Then the evil inclination tells him, why bother? Hashem is not accepting what you're doing anyway. If the person would only know how much Hashem values everything he has done already and continues to do, he would do it even better. If things don't improve when we improve, that just means the worth of our avodah becomes infinitely greater. When the evil inclination works overtime to get us to try and turn away from Hashem, that's when Hashem wants us the most. No matter what a person has done, Hashem always wants his avodah . So long as there's life, there's a way to improve. Hashem yearns even for the people who are completely estranged from Him. Every Jew is His precious child, and He can't wait to be close to us. Rabbi Elkarif from Israel told a story that was related by a tour guide in Italy, which recently took place. There was a group of Chasidim, traveling by bus on a highway in Italy that rarely has traffic. They intended to pray Mincha when they returned to their hotel, but unexpectedly, there was a big traffic jam on the highway. When they realized they wouldn't make it back in time for Mincha, they told the tour guide they wanted to pull over to a gas station so that they could pray there. The tour guide encouraged them to pray on the bus, being that in Italy there was a lot of anti-Semitism, and if people would see a large group of Jews all standing together at a gas station, who knows what would happen. The Chasidim were not worried. They insisted on pulling over so they could pray the right way. The guide directed the driver off the highway, and they all got off the bus, washed up, and were getting ready to start Mincha. All of a sudden, a huge motorcycle making loud, obnoxious noises pulled up right next to them, with a large man sporting a ponytail on it. He looked very scary. He lifted off his dark helmet, took one look at the Chasidic group, and then said, “Mincha?” They were shocked by his request, and they proceeded to pray together as a group. At the conclusion of Mincha, this biker said Kaddish, and then got back on his bike and was ready to go. One of the Chasidim approached him and asked him what his story was. The biker said he grew up in Jerusalem in a religious family, but he moved away and declined rapidly in his Torah and mitzvot. His father passed away a few years ago, and on his deathbed, he asked him to please say Kaddish for him. He mentioned that he always begged him to put on tefillin and keep Shabbat, but he never listened. Now he was imploring him to say Kaddish on his behalf. The biker told his father, “I eat non-kosher, and I use my mouth to speak inappropriately. This mouth will not be able to lift your soul with its Kaddish.” His father said, “No, the Kaddish will help,” and once again reiterated the importance of him saying it. The biker finally agreed. Every year, he made it a point to say Kaddish on the yahrtzeit . Then he said, “Today, I planned on traveling from my city in Italy where I live to Merce, 700 kilometers away. In the middle of the journey, I remembered it was my father's yahrtzeit , and it was not going to be possible to find any shuls in the small towns on the way. I turned to Hashem and said, “If my Kaddish has any value, and You want me to say it, please help me find a minyan.” I kept riding my bike, and as the sun was setting, I saw your group gathering at the gas station out of nowhere. My heart jumped. Hashem made it possible for me to say Kaddish today. He showed me that even my Kaddish is worth something.`` Hashem adores everything we do. There is never a time that He does not desire our avodah

Every Jew that you encounter today will say that the mother must be Jewish in order for her child to be Jewish, yet there is no scriptural validation for this doctrine. Furthermore, the Biblical genealogies show that God focused on the father, not the mother.  So, why is this error of matrilineal descent held by so many Jews today? And what makes a Jew a Jew?

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. What a meaningful week we've just started! And walking through Easter with your family, friends, and even strangers can be a wonderful way to share the Gospel with them. Because truly, the Good News of the Gospel happened that very first Easter week and started with Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey. At first glance, that may not seem like much…but truly, this was an amazing and powerful act. Jesus' entry on a donkey claimed His rightful place as their Messiah—the One who came to save His people from their sins. Every Jew there would have known Zechariah's prophecy of the King and the Messiah coming—triumphant and victorious!—on a donkey colt. And that's why they shouted “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” King Jesus came to be the sacrifice for sinful humans. And all who place their trust in Him alone, “He gives the right to become children of God.” For more, visit our website at www.sharelife.today.

There are times during the year that we get extra siyata d'Shamaya in certain areas. On Hanukkah, we are able to access a special spiritual energy to help us get closer to Hashem. At the time of the Hanukkah miracle, the Jewish People risked their lives to fight the Greeks. What were they fighting for? Their lives were not at risk. They were fighting to be able to follow Torah and mitzvot and serve Hashem properly. When Hashem saw how much His People yearned for His Torah, that is when He performed great miracles for them, enabling them to defeat the Greek army. He continued performing more miracles for them, enabling them to light the Menorah for eight days with pure olive oil. Today when we light our Hanukkah candles, they radiate kedusha . Just looking at the flames can purify a person's eyes. While the candles are burning, it's an עת רצון to pray, especially for help with Torah and mitzvot. I read a story of a representative from a yeshiva in Yerushalayim , whom we'll call Yehuda, who traveled abroad to collect much needed funds for that yeshiva. In one particular city he didn't know anybody and didn't even know where to go. He stopped and made a tefila to Hashem, asking Him to help. A few minutes later, a horse and buggy passed by him with a distinguished gentleman inside. It was a religious man and he asked Yehuda if he needed something. Yehuda told him he was there from Israel collecting and he explained how dire the situation was. The distinguished gentleman invited Yehuda to his luxurious home and gave him a nice sum of money. While he was there, Yehuda noticed amongst very expensive gold and silver vessels on display, a broken jug that used to contain oil. He asked the man why a broken jug would be on display there. The man told him the story behind it. He said when he was younger he veered off the path of Torah and mitzvot and completely abandoned the religion. He looked and acted no different than a goy . One day, he was walking in the street and he saw a little boy crying. He asked the boy what was wrong, and the boy replied that his father gave him money to buy a jug of oil to light the menorah but it fell out of his hands and broke. They were very poor and he wouldn't have enough money to get another one. The man said he felt bad for that boy. He took out money, gave it to him and said, “Go get more.” After he parted ways with that boy, he said to himself, “A little boy cried because he was going to miss out on oil for Hanukkah and I, who have so much, don't even care that I don't do any mitzvot?” He went back and he picked up that broken jug. He took this lesson to heart and started coming back to Torah and mitzvot from it. He then said, “Baruch Hashem, today I am fully shomer Torah and mitzvot and I keep that broken jug of oil on display to remind myself of how Hashem inspired me to come back to Him.” Every Jew has a neshama that desires Torah and mitzvot and all it takes is a little spark to ignite it. A man told me, 30 years ago he had no connection to Torah and mitzvot. Aish HaTorah opened a small branch in his city and they put an ad in a newspaper saying they were offering a Lunch and Learn – a whole spread of deli and a class from a rabbi. The man said he really did not have any interest in the class, but he loved deli. And so, he left work on his lunch break to go there. The rabbi's words at the class made so much sense to him and he was excited to be invited back the following week for another Lunch and Learn. He kept going every week until he became fully observant. Today, this man has religious children and grandchildren and spends his days trying to bring other Jews closer to Hashem. Every Jew wants to be close to Hashem, even the most distant ones. We just need to bring it out of them properly. On Hanukkah, there is an extra siyata d'Shamaya to accomplish it.
