התוכן א) הוראה ממ"ש הרמב"ם בשיעור היומי "הנוטע אילן אצל המזבח.. אע"פ שעשאו לנוי למקדש ויופי לו ה"ז לוקה שנאמר לא תטע לך אשר כל עץ אצל מזבח ה' אלקיך מפני שזה הי' דרך עובדי כוכבים וכו'" – כאשר בא ה"יצר" ואומר שהנה ישנו ענין מסויים שיש בו כדי לפעול נוי ויופי ביהדות ועי"ז לקרב את אלו התועים בדרכם וכו' ואע"פ שגם עכו"ם עושים א"ז אבל "רחמנא לבא בעי"... אומרים לו שלכל לראש עליו לברר האם בנדון זה ה"ז רצונו של הקב"ה, ואם לאו – אסור לעשותו! ההליכה בדרך היהדות עפ"י רצונו של הקב"ה היא היא המביאה יופי אמיתי! ב) לכאו"א מישראל מגיע שכר גדול ביותר עבור פעולותיו בקיום תומ"צ וכמ"ש בתורה אור "מצינו בנבוכדנצר בשביל שהלך ג' פסיעות לכבוד השי"ת פסקו לו מלוכה על כל העולם ולזרעו אחריו.. ואין לך אדם מישראל שלא כיבד את המקום בכך וכל טוב עוה"ז כדאי הוא לו"!משיחת כ"ה ניסן ה'תשמ"ה ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=16-02-2026 Synopsis (1) Today's Rambam states: “One who plants a tree near the Mizbeach…even if he did so to decorate the Mikdash and to beautify it, he is punished by lashes, as the verse states, ‘Do not plant for yourself an asheira or any tree near the Mizbeach of Hashem your G-d.' Because this was the practice of idolaters…” The lesson is as follows: When the yetzer comes and claims that there is a certain idea that could bring decoration and beauty to Yiddishkeit, and attract those who have strayed etc. (and although it is done by non-Jews, it argues that “The Merciful One desires the heart” etc.), the response is: First and foremost, you must see whether this practice accords with Hashem's will, and if it does not, it is forbidden to do it. What leads to true beauty is the path Yiddishkeit in accordance with Hashem's will. (2) Every Jew is entitled to the greatest reward for his fulfillment of Torah and mitzvos. As it says Torah Or, “We find that Nevuchadnetzar, because he took three steps in honor of the Holy One, blessed be He, was granted kingship over the entire world for him and his descendants after him…There is no Jew who has not honored Hashem in this way, and one deserves all the good of this world.”Excerpt from sichah of 25 Nissan 5745 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=16-02-2026 לזכות מרת סימא בת גיטא שתחי' ליום ההולדת שלה כ"ט שבטלשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות

It seems like we have only just come out of the Christmas Season and we are down the door of the great season of Lent with Ash Wednesday marking the beginning of Lent next week. So on this weeks podcast excerpt we are sharing a reflection from Bishop Robert Barron (from Word on Fire) on the three habits to get the most out of Lent. Bishop Barron reminds us that during this time of preparation, the Church asks us to cultivate a deeper friendship with God through prayer, to control and reorder our desires for physical goods through fasting, and to show our love in the concrete way of giving alms.

The Elvis Presley trading card, a common fallacy, and a trail of a million tracks. Trevor LaVecchia (Free Whenever) “The band's guiding philosophy and approach to making music is rooted in long-form improvisation resulting in a unique blend of vintage psychedelia, dub, eastern modality, african rhythmic tradition and melodic guitar that leaves listeners high -- fully immersed in a synesthetic sound experience.Their new self-titled LP is the Brooklyn-based trio's latest statement and has brought them attention among fans and musicians alike. Coupled with electrifying live shows, Free Whenever is continuing to make waves throughout the modern psychedelic music scene, sharing the stage with acts like Karina Rykman and Balthvs and playing venues like Brooklyn Bowl, Baby's All Right, and The Sultan Room."

When someone we care about is living with chronic illness, we often want to help, but we are often unsure of how. We may worry about saying the wrong thing, doing too much, or not doing enough. And in that uncertainty, support can sometimes turn into advice, reassurance, or attempts to fix.Learn what it means to show up without fixing. We will explore what meaningful support can look like for people living with chronic illnesses, support rooted in listening, respect, and consistency rather than solutions. This conversation is for anyone who wants to show up and care, even when there are no easy answers.

Attorney General Pam Bondi clashed repeatedly with Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday in a fiery hearing.

Given Tim literally wrote the book on the singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist, you're in good hands. We begin with the story of Arthur's early life in Iowa and his move to San Francisco, including experiences with Buddhism and drugs, alongside musical instruction from the great Ali Akbar Khan. Tim and Jeremy paint a picture of Arthur's explorations in countercultural living, refute the idea that he simply wasn't good at finishing things, and introduce the musician as an avatar for the particular melting pot of NYC music and art culture.

התוכן בהמשך למ"ת מתחילה התורה דוקא עם "משפטים" – דברים המובנים עפ"י שכל, כיון שבשעת מ"ת היתה קבלת התורה באופן ד"חוקים" – למע' מגדרי השכל והעולם, והחידוש לאח"ז הוא משפטים – להביא את הענינים גם בגדרי השכל והעולם. ולכן גם בענין האחדות ישראל שהי' במ"ת לא הי' חידוש, דבענין ה"חוקים" כולם שווים ומלכתחילה לא שייך ענין של היפך השלום, ותכלית השלימות באחדות ישראל היא, כשגם בעניני שכל – "משפטים", ש"אין דעותיהם שוות", מתאחדים!משיחת מוצש"פ משפטים ה'תשל"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=12-02-2026 Synopsis At Matan Torah the Jewish people accepted the Torah in a manner of Chukim (which transcend the bounds of intellect and the bounds of the world), but immediately afterward comes the Mishpatim, which are understood logically, because the novelty is to incorporate the Torah within the framework of intellect and the framework of the world. Therefore, it is no wonder that the Jewish people were united at Matan Torah, because when it comes to Chukim, all are equal, so there is no room for the absence of peace to begin with. But the ultimate perfection of Jewish unity is when the Jewish people are united even in their intellect (Mishpatim), where “their minds are not alike.”Excerpt from sichah of Motzaei Shabbos parashas Mishpatim 5739 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=12-02-2026
Who will be the Democratic presidential nominee in 2028? What will the price of gold be at the end of the week? Who will win the World Cup? All of these are relatively benign bets you can make today. But there are other bets that maybe aren't so benign, like will Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro be removed from office by the end of January? That well-timed bet, made in the hours before the U.S. captured and extracted Maduro, netted the anonymous investor who made it $400,000. Are prediction markets democratizing information as some argue or are we monetizing reality in a way that incentivizes perverse motives? Alex Goldenberg, Fellow at Rutgers University, joins The Excerpt to explain how these markets work and the risks they pose financially and politically.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.

התוכן [המשך] מקור לדבר ע"ד התועלת להתחיל "להרעיש" אודות עניני פורים ל' יום לפני פורים – הוא משנה: "באחד באדר משמיעין (שפירושו "מכריזין") על השקלים", "כדי שיביאו ישראל את שקליהן בעונתן . . באחד בניסן". ומה שאדה"ז בשו"ע אינו מזכיר – על יסוד משנה זו – גם אודות ל' יום לפני הפורים הוא – כי החיוב ד"ל' יום לפני הרגל" אינו אלא בענינים מיוחדים (כמו בנוגע לחיוב להביא ג' קרבנות ברגלים, ו"תקנה זו לא נתבטלה אף לאחר חורבן ביהמ"ק"), אבל אא"פ לקבוע חיוב כזה בנוגע לכל ענין של יהדות! אבל כדי לתקן ולהשלים את מה שחסרו בהפעולות דימי הפורים בשנה שעברה – בודאי אין "עוולה" להשתמש ב"עצה" המיוסדת על משנה זו – להתחיל "להרעיש" אודות עניני פורים ל' יום לפנ"ז! לא אדה"ז, לא נשיא דורנו ולא יצרו הטוב יבואו אליו ב"טענות", רק ה"א-ל זר אשר בקרבך"... ועוד ענין: מדובר ע"ד לעורר יהודי להוסיף בענין של שמחה – הרי אפילו אם יתברר שאין זה בגדר מצוה ומנהג וכו' מהי ה"עוולה" שבדבר?!משיחת יום א' פ' תשא, פורים קטן ה'תשמ"ו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=11-02-2026 Synopsis (Continued). Regarding the benefit of beginning to make a tumult about Purim thirty days before Purim, there is a source for it a Mishnah: “On the first of Adar, an announcement is made regarding the shekalim” so that the people will bring their shekalim by the first of Nissan. The reason the Alter Rebbe doesn't mention anything about thirty days before Purim in his Shulchan Aruch is because the obligation of preparing thirty days before applies only to certain things (such as the obligation upon every individual to bring three korbanos on the Festivals); it would be is impossible to make it an obligation to prepare for every aspect of Yiddishkeit thirty days beforehand! However, when we see that last year we were lacking in terms of the activities related to Purim, there is certainly nothing wrong with applying this advice from the Mishna and beginning to campaign about Purim thirty days in advance. Neither the Alter Rebbe, nor the Nasi of our generation, nor one's yetzer tov, will come with any complaints; the complaints will come only from the “foreign god who is within you”… Additionally: we are talking about inspiring another Jew to increase in something joyous. So even if it turns out that it is not exactly a mitzvah or custom etc., what is the wrongdoing in that?!Excerpt from sichah of Sunday, parashas Sisa, Purim Katan 5746 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=11-02-2026
For the first time in over half a century, there are no nuclear arms controls in place between the world's two largest nuclear powers, the US and Russia. With a rising China growing its nuclear arsenal while it continues to assert its power on the international stage, we ask, is this the beginning of a new Cold War era? Ankit Panda, a senior fellow with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, joins The Excerpt to dig into the critical geopolitical, economic and military concerns at the heart of this story.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.

התוכן דובר לעיל אודות הזירוז בעניני הפורים ל' יום לפני החג. המענה לשואלים היכן הוא המקור לכך?! ובפרט שאדה"ז בשו"ע בריש הל' פסח כשכותב אודות תקנת חכמים לדרוש ברבים הלכות החג ל' יום לפני החג – אינו מזכיר מאומה אודות ל' יום לפני הפורים! – המציאות היא שלאחרי כל ה"שטורעם" בעניני הפורים בשנים שעברו, ואכן פעלו "עולם ומלואו" – יכלו "להרעיש" עוד יותר, אפילו לגבי השנים והדורות שלפנ"ז! ועל השאלה מהו ההכרח לזה, ומה לא טוב אם יפעלו באותה מדה כבשנה שעברה?! ובפרט שלזה צריך להנהיג דברים חדשים – להרעיש אודות הפעולות דימי הפורים ל' יום לפנ"ז...?! – כיון שמשנה שעברה ניתוספו ענינים בלתי רצויים, הרי לא רק שמותר אלא מצווים עפ"י תורה להוסיף בעניני קדושה על מנת לבטל ענינים אלו (וכמו שזה היפך התורה לא להשתמש בתרופות חדשות שלא היו בזמן אבותינו, ומה גם שבימינו ניתוספו מחלות חדשות ר"ל)! [המשך יבוא]משיחת יום א' פ' תשא, פורים קטן ה'תשמ"ו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=10-02-2026 Synopsis Some have asked: what is the source for the practice of starting to campaign about Purim thirty days before the holiday? Especially considering that in his Shulchan Aruch, where the Alter Rebbe talks about the Rabbinic requirement of publicly expounding the laws of the festival thirty days before the festival, he doesn't mention anything about doing so thirty days before Purim? But the reality is that even with all the noise made about Purim in previous years, and although it is true that a great deal was accomplished – the fact is that more could still have been done. And as for the question of why it is necessary to introduce new practices, when we could simply continue doing what we've been doing until now – the answer is that when there is a new illness in the world, chas v'shalom, you have to introduce a new cure for it. Nobody would suggest that the Torah forbids using new types of medicine (with respect to the laws of overriding Shabbos etc.) just because those medicines didn't exist in the time of our ancestors; indeed, forbidding the use of such medicine would be contrary to Torah. Similarly, since there has been an increase over the past year in undesirable things in the world, therefore, to counter that negative increase, it is not only permissible, but an obligation according to Torah, to increase in holiness. (To be continued.)Excerpt from sichah of Sunday, parashas Sisa, Purim Katan 5746 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=10-02-2026
It started with the banning of the Associated Press from certain White House events over its refusal to use the term “Gulf of America” instead of “Gulf of Mexico.” Then there was a recent FBI search of a Washington Post reporter's home. And then in January two journalists, including former CNN host, Don Lemon were arrested following an immigration protest at Cities Church in St Paul, Minnesota. What's happening to freedom of the press?

(this episode is an excerpt) --- Welcome to the second episode of our new series dedicated to the builders of the Farcaster ecosystem (https://farcaster.xyz). In this limited run, we are going to understand the strategies, timing, and mental models of the founders building the next generation of onchain experiences. In today's episode, we sit down with Atown (https://x.com/AtownBrown and https://farcaster.xyz/atown), the founder of Emerge (https://www.tryemerge.xyz). We explore how he is combining AI agents, diffusion models, and crypto rails to transform how users interact with generative content. The episode digs into: + the mechanics of viral growth onchain, + the challenge of escaping the 'crypto echo chamber,' and + the delicate balance between launching a token and building a sustainable product. It is a very useful episode about navigating the intersection of how to avoid AI slop with personalization, and web3 monetization. -- The podcasts are authored, edited and produced by Raphael Grieco (raphael-grieco.com | olivecapital.vc).
התוכן זה שרבינו גרשום נק' "מאור הגולה" קשור עם ב' תקנותיו שאין לגרש אשה בע"כ ושאין לישא ב' נשים. דבזה "האיר" את בנ"י בגלות, שהרי "אסור" לה' לגרש ח"ו את "אשתו" (בנ"י) בע"כ, והרי יהודי "אינו רוצה להיות נפרד מאלקות", ו"אסור" לו גם לישא "אשה" אחרת על "אשתו" הא'. אלא שאין להסתפק רק בזה שאין "גירושין" ח"ו, אלא צ"ל "חיי הנישואין" באופן ש"שארה כסותה ועונתה לא יגרע" [כמ"ש בראשון דפ' משפטים]. וזה נפעל ע"י תוספת שלום בין איש ואשתו למטה, עי"ז שהבית בנוי על תומ"צ. ואף ששלימות הנישואין תהי' לעת"ל, אבל גם לפני החתונה צריך ה"חתן" לתת מתנות ל"כלה", ובפרט אם עיכוב החתונה הוא "באשמתו" (והיצה"ר הוא א' הדברים שה' "מתחרט עליהם"), ה"ה צריך לזונה כפי יכולתו ומתאים ליחוסה. וזה גופא שהוא צריך לשלם כ"כ "תמיכה" "ידחוף" אותו שיהי' כבר הנישואין בגאולה האמיתית והשלימה מיד ממש.משיחת י"ב תמוז ה'תשכ"ז ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=08-02-2026 Synopsis It is explained in sefarim that the reason Rabbeinu Gershom is called Maor HaGolah (the “Light of the Exile”) is because of his two takanos – that one may not divorce a woman against her will, and that one may not marry two women. With these he illuminated the Jewish people in exile because they forbid Hashem from chas v'shalom “divorcing His wife” (the Jewish people) against her will (and a Jew “does not wish to be separated from G-dliness”), and from “marrying another wife.” However, it is not enough for Hashem to merely not divorce the Jewish people; He must also keep the requirements of marriage: “He shall not diminish her sustenance, her clothing, or her relations” (as the verse states at the beginning of parashas Mishpatim). And this is brought about by the Jewish people increasing in marital harmony down here, by building their homes upon the foundations of Torah and Mitzvos. Although the Nisuin (wedding) will be completed in the future, nevertheless, the groom is obligated even before the wedding to provide the bride with gifts, especially where the wedding is delayed due to his fault” (and the yetzer hara is one of the things for which Hashem is “at fault” and which He “regrets”). Hashem must therefore sustain the Jewish people according to His ability and in a manner fitting for “her lineage,” and the very fact that He must pay so much “support” will compel Him to make the wedding immediately, with the coming of the true and complete Redemption right now.Excerpt from sichah of 12 Tammuz 5727 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=08-02-2026
Two recent elections-related developments are playing out today that have some election officials concerned. The first relates to the FBI's seizure of election documents in Georgia, a state whose election President Donald Trump continues to falsely claim he won in 2020. The second involves recent public comments made by the president that elections should be nationalized in 15 states. Both of these actions may be illegal. Has the Trump administration crossed a line USA TODAY Justice Department Correspondent Aysha Bagchi joins The Excerpt to unpack the story.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.

התוכן הגמ' פוסקת הלכה למעשה "מה להלן [בשעת מתן תורה] באימה וביראה וברתת ובזיע, אף כאן [בשעת לימוד התורה] באימה וביראה וברתת ובזיע". ושואל כ"ק אדה"ז: איך אפשר לתבוע זאת? הרי בשעת מתן תורה הי' "וירד ה' על הסיני" ביחד עם כל המרכבה וכו' משא"כ בעת לימוד התורה היום אין את כל ה"רעש" הזה? ומתרץ: דזה שבני ישראל (משא"כ הערב רב), שהעיקר אצלם הוא הנשמה שהיא "חלק אלוקה ממעל ממש, היו בשעת מ"ת "באימה וביראה וברתת ובזיע", לא הי' זה מחמת ה"רעש" של המרכבה והמלאכים וכו', אלא מחמת גילוי עצומ"ה – "אנכי ה' אלקיך וגו'" (ומזה נשתלשל גם ה"רעש" של הגוף מהמלאכים וכו'). וזה חוזר על עצמו כל פעם שיהודי לומד תורה ש"הקב"ה קורא ושונה כנגדו"! ולכן גם צריך להיות הלימוד התורה באופן של "(כ)חדשים".משיחת י"ג תמוז ה'תשל"ו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=06-02-2026 Synopsis The Gemara states as a practical halacha that “Just as below [at Sinai] it was with reverence, fear, quaking and trembling, so too here [any time one studies Torah] it must be with reverence, fear, quaking and trembling.” The Alter Rebbe asks: seemingly, when the Torah was given, “Hashem descended upon Mount Sinai” with the Divine Chariot and the angels etc., whereas when one studies Torah today, this whole experience is lacking. How then can a Jew be expected to study Torah in the same manner? He explains that the reason the Jewish people stood at Sinai “with reverence, fear, quaking and trembling” was not because of the experience of the Chariot and the angels, etc., but because of the revelation of Hashem's very Essence, “I am Hashem your G-d….” (The revelation also resulted in the experience felt by the body due to the Chariot and the angels, etc., but that was secondary.) And this revelation of Hashem occurs every time a Jew studies Torah, because “the Holy One, blessed be He, reads and studies along with him.” This is why one must study Torah in a way that it is “new.”Excerpt from sichah of 13 Tammuz 5736 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=06-02-2026

In this solo episode of Masks Off: Inner Freedom for People-Pleasers & Perfectionists, host Kim Gross unpacks the deeply rooted pattern of approval addiction—the unconscious need for validation that often drives people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-abandonment.Kim shares personal reflections and excerpts from her memoir Free to Be: A Pathway to Inner Liberation, revealing how approval-seeking behaviors form in childhood as survival strategies tied to safety, belonging, and love. Rather than framing these patterns as weaknesses, Kim offers a compassionate reframe: approval addiction is learned—and therefore, it can be unlearned.Listeners are invited into a gentle process of self-awareness through journal prompts, reflection, and nervous-system-informed insight. The episode closes with a powerful reminder inspired by Melodie Beattie, reinforcing the truth that worthiness is not something we earn—it's something we remember.This episode is for anyone ready to:Stop chasing validationUnderstand the roots of people-pleasingHeal self-worth at the pattern levelReclaim inner peace and authenticity00:00 Introduction to Approval Addiction01:49 Welcome to Masks Off03:20 Personal Struggles with Approval Addiction03:37 The Roots of Approval Addiction06:13 Excerpt from Free to Be11:34 The Impact of External Validation15:58 The Need for Belonging26:01 Journal Prompts for Self-Reflection31:57 Final Thoughts & Integration⏱ Episode Chapters#PeoplePleasing #ApprovalAddiction #InnerFreedom#SelfWorthHealing #EmotionalAwareness #PersonalGrowth

Trevis Underdahl (one of Pat's best friends) stopped by the Tuesday night live stream to talk about a song he wrote for Alex Pretti and Renee Good. People say they F'd Around and Found Out. Yes - just like Jesus did - for OTHERS. Trev talks about living among people he loves who support Donald Trump and MAGA. He's not a podcaster type, but he's a gifted musician, so he wrote a song to say the things he wants them to know about Jesus, about sacrificing for others, and about loving the stranger in our midst.
Since the Supreme Court widely legalized sports wagering in 2018 the nation's appetite for bets has exploded. U.S. betters made over a billion dollars worth of bets in 2025 on sports alone. This year's Super Bowl is expected to attract $1.7 billion in legal U.S. wagers. But investigators are finding that there's also been a surge in illegal betting by minors. Are sportsbooks putting our children in harm's way?

Communism! A menace to all god-fearing Americans in the 1960s, a real travesty against society. At least that was the background that this novel and film dropped into to make a much larger point about the horrors of war and trauma. But even more than a knotty, complicated conspiracy thriller, this is a really unique film from an underrated director and shockingly talented cast…for the most part. Frank Sinatra is pulling quadruple duty here with producing, acting, cajoling studio heads, and really, really acting and it pays off in a major way, even if this was a little too weird for the Oscars. Watch out for the Queen of Diamonds this week as we watch The Manchurian Candidate on Have a Good Movie!
