We all want to grow—to be more present in our learning, more focused in our davening, and more in control of our reactions. But the world is noisy. Our minds race, stress builds, and it's easy to slip into living by default instead of with intention. In this episode, I sit down with Rabbi Aryeh Siegel, author of Kosher Calm, to explore how a Torah-aligned meditation practice can help us reclaim the space where free will lives and real growth begins.We talk about the need for inner quiet, how stress blocks our avodah, and why the Lubavitcher Rebbe urgently called for a kosher method of meditation decades ago. If you've ever felt overwhelmed with life or longed for deeper presence in your avodas Hashem, this conversation offers clarity, wisdom, and practical tools to help you get there.For next steps to learn about Kosher Meditation go to https://koshercalm.org and order the book Kosher Calm: Meditation & Self-Help Tools For Health & Healing.Join the Conversation!

In this episode, I share how my worldview began to shift once I realized I'd grown up believing that all cultures were more or less the same—that we were all just decent people trying to get by. But as I began learning Torah and Jewish history, I started to see that Judaism introduced something radically different to the world. To unpack this further, I invited Rabbi Ken Spiro, historian and author of WorldPerfect: The Jewish Impact on Civilization, to join me.We explore how values we take for granted today—like the sanctity of life, equality before the law, and social justice—weren't universal at all, but were introduced to the world through the Torah. Rabbi Spiro walks us through the brutal norms of the ancient world and shows how the Jewish people, guided by the concept of ethical monotheism, reshaped human history not through conquest, but through values. It's a conversation that deepens Jewish pride and clarifies our role in the world today.Buy Rabbi Spiro's Book - WorldPerfect: The Jewish Impact on Civilization Join the Conversation!

What does it mean to truly live Jewishly? Join us, as we explore the profound, often misunderstood motivations behind the practice of mitzvahs in Judaism. Consider Shabbos: it's not just a day of rest commanded by Hashem, but also a precious opportunity for family bonding and digital detox that can transform our spiritual experience. We discuss how mitzvahs should be performed not merely out of emotion, but with a deep intellectual understanding of their divine purpose, ensuring that our observance remains steadfast and sincere.Have you ever wondered about the significance of wearing Tzitzit or the reasoning behind gender separation in congregations? We recount compelling stories like how tzitzit once saved a man's life, illustrating that while these tales enrich our connection, the ultimate motivation lies in fulfilling God's command. The discussion also highlights the importance of community wisdom over personal intuition, emphasizing that gender separation is not about inequality but rather about nurturing spiritual focus and preventing misconduct, supported by both Talmudic references and contemporary practices.Embrace your curiosity and let it fuel your faith! We celebrate the revered tradition of questioning within Judaism, illuminating how inquiry propels us towards deeper understanding and connection with our religious practices. In a world where questioning authority is often frowned upon, Judaism stands apart, inviting its followers to seek clarity and wisdom through thoughtful questioning. This episode encourages you to dive into your faith with open eyes and an inquisitive mind, empowering you to connect with your spirituality on a profoundly personal level._____________Recorded in the TORCH Centre - Levin Family Studio (B) to a live audience on April 27, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 11, 2025_____________DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

In this episode, we delve into the powerful declaration recited before counting the Omer: “For the sake of the unification of the Holy One, blessed is He, and His Divine Presence (Shechinah), in fear and love, to unify the name Yud-Key with Vav-Key in perfect unity, in the name of all Israel.”  This phrase encapsulates a central spiritual mission—to unify Hashem's name—and we explore how this idea is not only mystical, but deeply practical.From Pesukei D'Zimra to Shema, our daily tefillos are structured around this theme.  Drawing on insights from Chassidus, the Baal Shem Tov, Rabbi Nachum Ish Gamzu, and contemporary Torah thinkers, this episode offers a path to internalize that all is from Hashem—and ultimately for the good. By minimizing the delay between challenge and trust, between pain and perspective, we take real steps to unify His name and bring the world closer to the era of Moshiach.Join the Conversation!

If you chanced upon sparring mates going at it, you may come to the mistaken impression that these two are enemies who want each other's throats. But the truth is, a sparring mate is helpful tool to improve your craft. The Almighty endowed us with a very helpful sparring mate to help bring the best out of us. At first, blush, this force seems to promote the worst in us. Upon close examination, we learn how this ostensible enemy is actually exceedingly good.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

There is great confusion about what the ultimate reward for righteousness and the ultimate punishment for wickedness are. Rambam's magisterial essay is designed to provide clarity in these lofty matters of eschatology. In part 2, we learn all about the concept of spiritual pleasure. Our bodies are very finely attuned to experiences of pain and pleasure. We discover that our souls are equally sensitive to pain and pleasure, though our default distance from the soul makes us fail to perceive it in a sensory way. Spiritual pleasure is inaccessible by default, but there is a way to experience it. It will require very hard work, but just one tiny taste of it changes your life forever.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.
