 In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe discusses Parshas Pinchas, focusing on the story of Pinchas's zealous act against Zimri and Cosbi, who publicly defied God's will by engaging in illicit relations, as described in Numbers 25. Rabbi Wolbe highlights the danger of blurring moral lines, as Zimri attempted by bringing a Moabite woman into the Jewish community, comparing it to Rebecca's relief upon learning her conflicting womb movements were due to twins with distinct destinies, not a single confused child. He emphasizes that clarity in commitment to Torah and mitzvahs is crucial, drawing parallels to Haman's and Amalek's attempts to assimilate and confuse the Jewish people, urging listeners to avoid compromise in spiritual matters and to define their stance firmly on the side of holiness and light.Rabbi Wolbe encourages small, intentional steps toward observance without compromising core commitments, using examples like health goals to illustrate the importance of mental resolve even if actions lag. He stresses the need for wisdom to distinguish between holy and unholy, as recited in Havdalah and Talmudic prayers, to avoid confusion. A story of a newly observant Jew publicly affirming their identity as a religious Jew underscores how verbalizing commitment clarifies one's path. Rabbi Wolbe concludes by urging listeners to manifest their spiritual goals through clear identification with Torah values, fostering a deeper connection to God and a purposeful Shabbos._____________This episode (Ep 7.38) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Pinchas 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 Studios (C) to an online TORCHzoom.com audience on July 16, 2025, in Passaic, New Jersey.Released as Podcast on July 18, 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! Share your questions at awolbe@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: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

In this final episode of our 7-part Shabbat rituals miniseries, Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores the deep spiritual meaning of Havdalah, the ritual that marks the end of Shabbat and the beginning of a new week. Why do transitions matter so much—emotionally, spiritually, and culturally? From national borders to baseball strike zones, Rabbi Josh reflects on how boundaries shape our lives, and how Havdalah offers a mindful way to carry the peace of Shabbat into the week ahead. Soulful Jewish Living: Mindful Practices for Every Day is a production of Unpacked, a division of OpenDor Media, and the Institute for Jewish Spirituality.

B"H The special Havdalah ceremony marks the end of Shabbat, but it also holds deep meaning about the redemption of the Jewish people. The verse from Esther—LaYehudim haita ora v'simcha v'sason v'yikar—reminds us that redemption happens kima kima (little by little), just like the rising sun. The colors blue and white, seen in the tzitzit and the flag of Israel, connect to this theme—pointing toward the ultimate redemption and the coming of Mashiach. May we see mashiach soon, Amen!

Harav Yussie Zakutinsky Shlita

In this podcast, the discussion centers around the mitzvah of *Malavah Malka*, the meal that accompanies the departure of Shabbat. It emphasizes the importance of honoring Shabbat as it leaves, similar to how one would honor a king's departure. The meal should ideally include bread, and if possible, cooked food or meat. If unable to have a full meal, grains or fruit may suffice. The podcast explores customs related to this mitzvah, including spreading a tablecloth in honor of Shabbat and the practice of singing songs and saying liturgical additions after *Havdalah*. It also touches on the obligation of the three main Shabbat meals and how Malavah Malka, while important, is not as obligatory. The episode concludes with a brief discussion on the prohibition of running or taking large strides on Shabbat, emphasizing the need to conduct oneself differently than on weekdays to honor the sanctity of the day.

We discuss the importance of declaring the end of Shabbat by saying Baruch hamvdil beyn kodesh l'chol if one wants to perform work after Shabbat and one has not made Havdalah in Maariv nor over a cup of wine.

Kitzur Yomi 63 [12.28] Chanukah Siman 139:12 - 19 [Shabbos Chanukah, Havdalah, Leftover Oil]

Join Geoffrey Stern and Rabbi Adam Mintz where we explore the Biblical creation myth. There are those who would have us believe that in Creation, God made unity from chaos and that the Torah's end game is to find that unity, that tikkun, that nirvana once again. We explore an alternative, counterfactual approach, where God created through division and with a goal of creating a world where divisions are emphasized, managed but definitely not erased. Sefaria Source Sheet: www.sefaria.org/sheets/598674 Transcript on episode web page: 

Le Shabbat est un jour de repos et de sanctification observé par les Juifs chaque semaine, du vendredi soir au samedi soir, marquant la fin de la semaine de travail et le début d'un temps sacré. Il commence au coucher du soleil le vendredi et se termine par la cérémonie de la Havdalah le samedi soir. Shabbat est l'un des commandements les plus importants du judaïsme et puise ses racines dans les textes sacrés de la Torah, en particulier dans le récit de la Création. La célébration du Shabbat honore deux thèmes principaux : la Création et la liberté. Dans le Livre de la Genèse, on raconte que Dieu a créé le monde en six jours et s'est reposé le septième jour. Le Shabbat rappelle donc ce repos divin, invitant les fidèles à suspendre leur travail et à se recentrer sur la spiritualité, la famille et la communauté. Ce repos sacré n'est pas seulement physique ; il est aussi destiné à créer un espace de tranquillité pour réfléchir, méditer et se connecter à des valeurs plus élevées. En s'abstenant de toute activité créative, les Juifs honorent l'œuvre créatrice de Dieu et marquent ce jour comme une imitation de son repos. Le second thème, la liberté, est lié à la sortie d'Égypte. Dans le livre de l'Exode, Dieu rappelle aux Israélites qu'ils doivent observer le Shabbat pour se souvenir de leur libération de l'esclavage égyptien. Le Shabbat devient ainsi un symbole de liberté et de libération, un rappel hebdomadaire que la vie humaine ne doit pas être uniquement centrée sur le travail, mais aussi sur la liberté spirituelle et la dignité humaine. Le Shabbat appelle à une rupture avec les contraintes de la société matérielle pour vivre un moment de communion avec des valeurs spirituelles et familiales. La célébration du Shabbat est marquée par plusieurs rituels et prières spécifiques. Il débute par l'allumage des bougies, généralement effectué par les femmes, pour symboliser la lumière et la paix du Shabbat. Ensuite, le Kiddush est récité sur un verre de vin pour sanctifier le jour. Deux pains, appelés hallot, sont également placés sur la table pour rappeler la manne céleste qui nourrissait les Israélites dans le désert. Les repas de Shabbat, généralement festifs, sont des moments de convivialité, de chants et de partage. Enfin, le Shabbat se termine par la cérémonie de la Havdalah, qui marque la séparation entre le jour sacré et les jours ordinaires de la semaine. Les bénédictions sont récitées sur du vin, des épices et une bougie tressée, symbolisant la lumière et la douceur que l'on emporte du Shabbat vers la semaine à venir. Ainsi, Shabbat est un moment de ressourcement, de réflexion et de retrouvailles avec ce qui est essentiel, loin du tumulte quotidien. Hébergé par Acast.
