“The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.” — Leviticus 6:13 Keep the altar of private prayer burning. This is the very life of all piety. The sanctuary and family altars borrow their fires here, therefore let this burn well. Secret devotion is the very essence, evidence, and barometer, […]

Gary responds to a video clip of Bart Ehrman about various laws from Leviticus. Ehrman tries to equate same-sex relationships with wearing clothes of mixed fabrics because they happen to be stated near each other. His tactics are typical in the non-Christian bubble of atheists and skeptics. Gary shows how his "argument" doesn't actually hold water.

Some subjects are way too dicey address publicly - electrified third rail subjects which zap anyone who approaches it. But Blake Cohn is not afraid of third rails. In fact, he recently launched a podcast that is dedicated exclusively to the untouchable "Third Rails" of Judaism. Fittingly, his show was called "Third Rail Judaism", where he explores and ponders some of the forbidden subjects that others are too scared to tackle. I was honored when Blake asked me to be interviewed for the first episode, an exploration of the kidnapping and assault of Dina, daughter of Jacob. If you are interested in exploring these forbidden topics, subscribe to Blake's show, Third Rail Judaism on Apple Podcasts or elsewhere.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –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.

Text: Acts 4:32–5:11; Exodus 36; Leviticus 25; Isaiah 55; John 17Title: “What Can Stop a Move of God?”When revival moves, it's not just the world that notices—hell notices too. In this message, we explore how Spirit-filled community can be corrupted from within through pride, hypocrisy, and false appearances. We look at the radical generosity of the early church and contrast it with the deception of Ananias and Sapphira. Along the way, we trace God's vision for generosity from Eden to the cross and ask hard questions about financial idolatry, spiritual performance, and carrying God's name in vain. If you've ever wondered what can stop a move of God—this message shows you how it starts…and how to stop it from happening in you.

We've all heard the words: “If God is for us, who can be against us?” But what happens when it doesn't feel that way? When life is heavy, shame lingers, and doubt creeps in? In this first part of our two-week series, we trace the sweeping story of Romans 1–8, through guilt, grace, struggle, and hope, so that we can hear Paul's bold question the way he meant it. This isn't a cliché. It's a promise. And the cross and empty tomb is the proof. God is for you. And that changes everything.   Leviticus 19:9–18 Romans 8:31-39 Luke 10:25–37

By John Elliott - God tells us He loves the stranger (Deuteronomy 10:18). He even commands His people to "love the stranger as yourself" (Leviticus 19:34)—and yet this is sometimes easier said than done. How do we think about the things that make us different from one another, and the things that make us the same?

BURNT: The Sacred Center of Christ Leviticus 1 “All the offerings taken together give us a full view of Christ—as many mirrors arranged to reflect in various ways the figure of that true and perfect sacrifice.” —C.H.M. (C.H. Mackintosh)   A Story of Pure Devotion My mind recalls a young, dark-haired Canadian girl, whose beauty lay not so much in her features as in the quiet creativity of her words. She was a writer of poetry and prose, able to describe a moment with the grace of a Victorian novelist. My eyes would often drift to the tattered journal she carried—the weight of it owed not to its binding, but to the sheer volume of ink pressed upon its pages. She never parted with it. Its contents, I am certain, were treasures untold. One random Saturday turned quietly unforgettable when I asked why she had left her cherished treasury behind. “I burnt it,” she said. I gasped at the waste. “Why?” She looked directly into my eyes. “Some things,” she whispered, “are for Him alone.” The hours, thoughts, pains, sorrows, joys, and life lessons she penned rose to His eyes alone. Her ink became incense. Her intent was to give her most cherished work to Him—and this, she did.   What Is Burnt Is Gone When something is truly burnt, it passes beyond possession. It can no longer be handled, owned, or used. It is consumed. Surrendered to the flame, it becomes smoke ascending, curling upward— beyond the reach of man, beyond sight of man, beyond the control of man. It cannot be claimed by anyone but the heavens to which it ascends. This fully and finally.   The Burnt Offering Such is the burnt offering of old. It is an offering for God alone. Unlike the other sacrifices, it is laid upon the stones for one purpose only: to rise to God. It is the first of the offerings described in Leviticus. When the animal is burnt, it passes beyond possession. It can no longer be handled, owned, or used. It is consumed. Surrendered to the altar, it has become smoke—ascending, curling upward— beyond the reach of man, beyond the sight of man, beyond the control of man. It cannot be claimed by anyone but the God to whom it ascends—fully and finally.   Christ, the Sacred Burnt Offering This is a divine type and shadow, revealing to us the sacred center of Christ's heart— the sacred center of His manifold sacrifice. When Christ was laid on the altar of the cross, He could no longer be handled, owned, or used. He was, in a real sense, consumed by death. Surrendered to God, He became a sweet-smelling savor, curling upward— beyond the reach of man, beyond the sight of man, beyond the control of man. He could be claimed by none but His Father, to whom He ascended fully and finally. Christ, the final burnt offering—an obedience to God, just for God. Ephesians 5:2 — “…a sacrifice to God.”   Commentary from the Saints C.H. Mackintosh writes: “It was exclusively for God. God alone was the object of Christ in the burnt offering aspect of His death.” “Here is the deep-toned devotion of the heart of the Son presented to, and appreciated by, the heart of the Father.” In the burnt offering, Christ's charms shine bright through His unshakable devotion to His Father. Spurgeon notes: “The burnt offering was all for God. So was Christ. His death was above all things God-ward.” The Holy Spirit reveals to us in this shadow that Christ loved the Father before the church. What excellency! What beauty and perfection! Surely His love to the Father is sufficient to rouse love in our hearts. Mackintosh continues: “The true believer finds in the cross that which captivates every affection of his heart… There are heights and depths in the doctrine of the cross which man never could reach.”   Christ's Willing Offering The offering of Himself to His Father was voluntary. He was not forced or coerced. He revealed: “No one takes My life from Me. I lay it down of My own initiative.” (John 10:18) Matthew Henry writes: “Voluntary. What is done in religion, so as to please God, must be done by no other constraint than that of love.” His offering was not laborious duty but loving devotion.   The World Sees Waste—Heaven Sees Worship The natural mind calls this—not cooked but burnt—a waste. But Christ's loving devotion to His Father transforms what the natural man sees as waste into worship. John 14:31 — “So that the world will know that I love the Father.” The sacred center of His sacrifice was this public display of affectionate devotion to His Father. He didn't merely accept God's will—it was His intention, His motive, His reason. (See Hebrews 10:5–10; John 6:38–39; 10:17–18; Luke 22:42) John Owen describes it: “The free act of love to the Father.” Spurgeon echoes: “He came not with sigh but a song to do His Father's will.” Owen again: “The greatest demonstration of the love of Christ unto the Father is His giving Himself up to the death of the cross, to manifest what love and accomplish His will.”   The Burnt Sacrifice Was Innocent The burnt sacrifice, as the chapter foreshadows, had to be an innocent other. Christ was not only innocent—oh, much more—He was without defect. He fit the foreshadow perfectly. He alone is clean inside and out. Mackintosh: “No one had ever perfectly, invariably, from first to last, without hesitation, without divergence, done the will of God.” “It was no surface work with Him… The more the depths of His being were explored, the more clearly was it manifest that pure devotion to the will of the Father…”   Every Part of Him Aflame I mean to exalt Christ's burning love for God and His voluntary offering of Himself to God alone as the sacred center of our revelation of what Christ is actually like. Every part of Him aflame to God. Oh, how unlike us is Christ. By this, we know what love for God looks like: the surrender of our whole selves. Romans 12:1 — “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.” Though our love is but the flicker of a faint flame, His sacred center quickens our hearts. For He exemplifies a love that stands apart from all others—ascending to God in fragrant flame. No portion eaten. No fragment withheld. No part left over. Every sinew of His sacred humanity—thoughts, deeds, motives, breath, blood— all offered up to God.   A Few Notes from Leviticus 1 The offering was made morning and evening. He is this both day and night. In the noonday sun and in the blackest night. No shade of life would alter His surrender. The offering could be an ox or a bird. He is this in the great and the small. No action was too small to be wholly surrendered to God. The bird was plucked and unsevered. Christ had His beard plucked in mockery—and yet His divinity was never severed from His humanity. He died as the God-Man. The sinner laid his hand upon the sacrifice, symbolizing imparted guilt and acknowledgment of deserved death. A foreshadow of the One upon whom the Lord laid the iniquity of us all (Isaiah 53). The Subtle Trap of Looking to Ourselves Henry Martyn, a missionary to India, once wrote that when he tried to find comfort by examining his life and searching for evidences of grace, he actually lost the brokenness of spirit he longed to keep. The more he looked to himself, the less he could rest simply at the foot of the cross. Many of us try to find peace by measuring our own faithfulness: Have I prayed enough? Have I served enough? Have I conquered this sin consistently? We think that if we can point to enough evidence of our devotion, we will feel secure. But here is the irony: the more we look to our own performance, the more we lose humility, dependence, and the sweetness of simple trust in Jesus. It is a subtle trap. Even good things—prayer, ministry, obedience—can become props we lean on to feel worthy, rather than gifts that flow from grace. Martyn only found peace when he stopped searching for comfort in himself and began to pray as a dying man—helpless and needy—resting on Christ alone. This is the lesson: Our comfort never comes from our own faithfulness, but from Christ's faithfulness for us. Brokenness of spirit and assurance of love thrive best when we lay aside self-scrutiny and fix our gaze on the cross.   Christ in the Burnt Offering As a burnt ox – He gave all His strength and labor to God. As a burnt sheep – He meekly followed God to death, patient and quiet in suffering. As a burnt goat – Though sinless, He was thought to be a sinner, sent in the likeness of sinful flesh. As a burnt dove – He was pure, single-eyed, plucked, unsevered, and holy.   The Preacher's Duty The priests were to arrange the wood and position the sacrifice. John Gill sees this as a type of the preacher's duty: “Evidence given of Him in the gospel, in which He is clearly set forth in His person, nature, and offices.” Trapp agrees: “The minister must rightly divide and dispose the Word of God, and evidently set forth Christ crucified.” Trapp also writes of the fire consuming the sacrifice: “Typifying the scorching wrath of God upon Christ—or the ardent love of Christ to God.”   The Sweet-Smelling Savor In all this, we see the “sweet-smelling savor unto God.” Christ as the burnt offering: the perfect Man, without defect, pure in and out, in action and thought, motive and deed, great and small—voluntarily offering Himself in love and devotion to His Father. To miss this is to reduce the gospel to a scheme for man's relief. If we fail to see this, we are but a step away from shaping the gospel into a man-centered escape plan, robbing God of His rightful glory in the work of His Son. Spurgeon wrote: “Christ did not die out of mere pity for man, but first of all out of love for the Father.” The salvation of man was the love song of the Son to the Father.   Three Effects on My Soul Adoration of such a lovely individual A desire to receive Him as my own A longing to surrender myself As Matthew Poole writes: “To serve the Lord with all singleness of heart, without self-ends, and to be ready to offer to God wherein we ourselves should have no benefit.” God has graciously met our need— and may He give us an enlarged capacity to enter into and enjoy His provision.

The subject of Tithing can be confusing and divisive.  What does the Lord expect of us, His people, regarding tithes?  The answer may be more nuanced than you think. In today's episode, we look at tithing in the Old Testament.    “Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the Lord's; it is holy to the Lord. . . . And every tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman's staff, shall be holy to the Lord."  - Leviticus 27:30-32

Balak, King of Moab, and Bilaam, sorcerer extraordinaire, hatched a plot to annihilate the Jewish people. Had their plan been successful, there would not have been even a single survivor. And they almost pulled it off. In fact, absent a Divine intervention, the glorious Jewish Nation would have been toast. What gave them such power? Where did Bilaam's preternatural ability come from?

In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores Parshas Balak, focusing on the story of Balak, the king of Moab, who hires the powerful prophet Bilaam to curse the Jewish people (Numbers 22). Rabbi Wolbe recounts the riveting narrative where Bilaam's donkey, divinely enabled to speak, rebukes him for striking it, symbolizing resistance to his mission to curse the Jews. Rashi's commentary highlights the donkey's reference to “three times” as an allusion to the Jewish people's observance of the three festivals (Pesach, Shavuot, Sukkot), which Bilaam seeks to undermine. Rabbi Wolbe explains why the festivals define the Jewish people, emphasizing the miraculous nature of Jerusalem's Temple Mount, which, like a deer's hide, supernaturally expands to accommodate millions during these pilgrimages without anyone feeling cramped. This contrasts sharply with Bilaam's frustration when his donkey pins his leg against a wall, revealing his inability to tolerate minor discomfort, unlike the Jewish people who trust in Hashem's providence. Rabbi Wolbe draws a broader lesson, contrasting Bilaam's arrogance and reliance on material wealth with the Jewish people's faith in Hashem's control, as seen in historical miracles like the Six-Day War and the protection of Jewish homes during festival pilgrimages. He critiques the modern notion of “financial security” as a form of arrogance, urging listeners to let go of self-reliance and trust in Hashem while still acting responsibly. Using the metaphor of a tractor-trailer stuck under an overpass, he suggests “letting the air out of our arrogance” to align with divine will. The episode concludes with a call to live with faith, recognizing that Hashem orchestrates every outcome, and to embrace this trust for a meaningful Shabbos and life._____________This episode (Ep 7.37) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Balak 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 8, 2025, in Passaic, New Jersey.Released as Podcast on July 10, 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.

Thursday, 10 July 2025   But I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you. Matthew 11:22   “Moreover, I say to you, it will be sufferable – Tyre and Sidon – in Judgment Day than you” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus rebuked the cities of Chorazin and Bethsaida, noting that if the miracles done in them had been done in the wicked cities of Tyre and Sidon, they would have reconsidered their ways. He continues this thought, beginning with, “Moreover.”   It is a new adverb, plén. It is derived from pleión, greater than, more excellent, etc. There is a sense of addition to something, furthering, or going beyond. One can see the etymological root of the modern word plenty, signifying a fullness. The word moreover gives the sense in this verse.   He has noted that Tyre and Sidon would have reconsidered their ways. Now, He adds to that with “Moreover.” The added words are not happy ones for His audience as He proclaims, “I say to you, it will be sufferable Tyre and Sidon – in Judgment Day than you.”   Tyre and Sidon were judged by God and destroyed. Chorazin and Bethsaida could expect nothing less. But more, when the day of judgment that lies ahead comes, it will be more sufferable for those wicked cities than for the inhabitants of Israel. It is axiomatic to say that with more revealed light comes greater responsibility and greater consequences for disobedience.   These words should have terrified the people, bringing them to a state of reconsideration and turning to Him. Two thousand years later, the ruins of those cities stand as a witness that they were destroyed. When the day of judgment comes, those who did not accept Jesus as their Messiah will regret their rejection of Him.   Life application: In Jewish society, there is the sense that they are God's people, His chosen and elect, and that this means they are in a good position with Him. Is it true that they are God's people? The answer depends on the context of the words.   They are Israel, chosen of God for His purposes. This is based on the covenant they made with Him at Sinai. However, they are not God's people, saved and going to heaven, through the New Covenant in Jesus' blood.   Jesus' words here should tell any reasonable reader of the Bible that the rejection of Jesus means condemnation. The false teaching in the church that Israel is currently God's people, as if they are in a right standing with Him, must be rejected.   Paul's carefully chosen words concerning Israel in Romans 9-11 show that this is not the case. He cites Scripture showing that the church is “My people,” and that Israel has a remnant that is spared at this time. Jesus calls them a “synagogue of Satan” in Revelation 2:9 & 3:9.   When you hear a Jew say, “We are the chosen people,” a common claim, the obvious question should be, “Chosen for what?” It is not for licentiousness, arrogance, and idolatry. They were chosen to reveal the righteous judgment of God. In failing to adhere to the Mosaic Covenant and in failing to enter the New Covenant, they have been under the punishments of the law noted in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28.   This is what the law does, it brings judgment. People who are in churches, supposedly returning to the “Hebrew Roots” of the faith, are only bringing condemnation upon themselves. We don't need more law. We need Jesus, the Fulfiller of the law, to save us from God's righteous judgment.   Thank God that He sent Jesus, born of a woman (the condemned line of humanity), born under the law (the standard set for the righteous judgment of God), to free us from condemnation and its associated punishments.   Let us receive what He has done, be freed from “self” in our attempt to be right with God, and continue to trust Jesus until the Day He comes for His people. In the meantime, we should pray for Israel to have their eyes opened to the terrible plight it remains in.   Without Jesus, their judgment will be greater than that of Tyre and Sidon on judgment day. They have God's word, Tyre and Sidon didn't. His word speaks of Jesus. In rejecting Jesus, they, by default, call judgment down upon themselves.   Lord God, the people of Israel are Your people, chosen for a particular purpose. However, they are not right with You because they have rejected Jesus. Being chosen at this time means being chosen for judgment and condemnation as a demonstration of Your righteousness. May they come quickly to Jesus and find Your righteousness in Him for salvation. Amen.

In this Bible Study, we look at Leviticus chapter 14 as we continue our “clean and unclean” segment of Leviticus.  In chapter 13, we saw the ways that a person would be labeled “unclean” - due to a defiling skin disease.  In Chapter 14, we see how a person can be declared “clean” after having a defiling skin disease.Outline: 00:15 - Outline of Leviticus 13 & 14 and recap.03:00 - What did it mean to be considered “unclean?”  Was an “unclean” person not loved by God or by the Israelite community?04:20 - Jesus heals people with Leprosy09:37 - Leviticus 14.1-6 - Cedarwood, scarlet yarn, hyssop - why these three???  all could be used for cleansing?  Num 19.6 uses the same three things.11:36 - Leviticus 14.7-10 - Why the two birds?  For you Bible scholars, this may remind you of something; Leviticus 16.7-10 - Scapegoat14:14 - Leviticus 14.8-9 - bathe twice, shave twice.  They must still isolate outside their own tent for 7 days, perhaps this was just to ensure the defiling skin issues did not come back?15:47 - Leviticus 14.10-20 (reading of)17:58 - Leviticus 14.10-11 - What did the person to be cleansed need to bring?18:39 - Leviticus 14.14-17 - Blood (from the guilt offering) - lobe of right ear, right thumb, and right big toe.  The same with the oil (on the right ear, thumb, and big toe).  WHY?Exodus 29.20 and Leviticus 8.23 are similar in correlation to the consecration and ordination of the tabernacle priests. 20:28 - Offerings - We see the guilt offering, the sin offering, the burnt offering, the grain offering (as well as a wave offering).  This restores the patient to full fellowship as a member of the covenant community.22:24 - Leviticus 14.21-32 - Provision for the poor.  25:11 -  Leviticus 14.33-48 - mold in a house or building31:13 - Leviticus 14.49-53 - The cleansing process is the same for the house as it is for a person in verses 4-7.  It is nearly identical, though there are some differences. 34:00 - Leviticus 14.54-57 - conclusions34:46 - Application - Thanks be to God that we are cleaned (washed) by the blood of Jesus Christ!Support Iron Sheep Ministries: https://Ironsheep.org/donateListen to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/ironsheepContact Dave & the ISM team: info@ironsheep.orgBe notified of each new teaching, join the email list: http://eepurl.com/g-2zAD

Leviticus 18:1-2, 19:9-10 - And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, I am the Lord your God.” … “When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, neither shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. And you shall not strip your vineyard bare, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the Lord your God.”

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues his exploration of generosity, focusing on Day 96 from Orchos Tzaddikim (page 567, Treasure for Life edition). He emphasizes that generosity is a habit, a muscle strengthened through consistent giving, regardless of one's financial means. Citing the Rambam, he explains that giving small amounts frequently, like a dollar a million times, builds this habit more effectively than a single large donation. Rabbi Wolbe shares personal anecdotes, such as a man who always donates to the synagogue's charity box despite limited means, and his own efforts to give eagerly during the Torch campaign, highlighting the importance of giving with joy and humanity, not reluctance or kvetching, to instill a culture of generosity in future generations.Rabbi Wolbe stresses the highest form of charity: giving anonymously, where neither the giver nor the recipient knows the other's identity, as exemplified by organizations like Tomche Shabbos, which discreetly supports families in need. He recounts stories, including one where he fulfilled a friend's request to feed a hungry person in Israel, underscoring the privilege of giving with kindness. Quoting scriptures and sages, he warns against giving with a sour expression or avoiding charity, equating such avoidance to idolatry, as it prioritizes money over God's will. The episode concludes with a call to treat the poor with love, as they may be God testing one's generosity, with rewards proportional to the kindness shown.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 10, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on July 8, 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! Share your questions at aw@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, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

In this episode, I open up about a personal journey—why I've been quiet lately, the health challenges I've faced, and how pushing too hard led me into a cycle of burnout. I share what I've learned about the body, the soul, and the importance of listening to both.Then, I revisit one of the most impactful conversations I've had on the podcast: my 2020 discussion with Rabbi Bucsko on the fractal nature of masculinity and femininity. It's a topic that remains deeply relevant—and often misunderstood.Rabbi Bucsko and I explore how these energies aren't just about gender, but are fundamental forces that show up in every relationship and corner of existence. Drawing from Torah, Chazal, and even our own biology, we delve into how masculine energy initiates with boundless potential, and feminine energy receives, nurtures, and brings to life. This framework sheds light on everything from mitzvah obligations to marital roles, from spiritual growth to our relationship with Hashem Himself.This episode is for anyone who wants to understand Torah's timeless wisdom on gender—not through the lens of modern politics, but through the clarity and depth that only Torah can provide.Join the Conversation!

It goes without saying that the days can be hard and unpredictable. But what we want to do is to remind you that if you will remember the good things God has done for you in the past, THEN you'll discover that it's easier to have the courage to face the challenges we are all facing today!

Raised in a loosely Christian home, he bounced between megachurch services and Lutheran daycare but never felt spiritually grounded. At just 13, he battled suicidaI thoughts, turning to science for answers—and eventually adopting a militant atheist worldview.But everything changed when he picked up a 1952 King James Bible no one wanted. Intending to disprove Scripture, he found something unexpected: order, truth, and a God who knew him intimately. Leviticus 26 and a simple diet change became his "Eureka moments."Later, in a moment of profound grace, his wife smelled lilies as she prayed the Rosary. “Without a doubt, it was Mary,” he recalled. This is a story of transformation, healing, and the undeniable power of God's mercy.His life has never been the same—and neither will yours after hearing this testimony.

In this episode of Ideas Have Consequences, Larry Alex Taunton tackles a growing trend—misusing Bible verses on social media to push political agendas. Using a viral tweet from pro-open border activist Devin Duke, Larry breaks down the misuse of Leviticus and why context matters deeply when interpreting Scripture. What does the Bible actually say about national borders, immigration, and the treatment of outsiders? Larry offers a biblically grounded, logical response to progressive theology and highlights the crucial difference between legal and illegal residency in biblical times. This episode is a must-watch for anyone who cares about truth, Scripture, and protecting biblical integrity in the public square.

What makes up Oral Torah? What are the different types of information included in the Mishnah? In part 3 of the authoritative, magisterial, and comprehensive introduction to Mishnah offered by Rambam, we learn about the five different components of oral Torah, two that come all the way back from the times of Moshe, and three components developed by the Sages over the centuries since. Since. We also learn about the origin and the nature of disputes, and how those disputes do not indicate gaps in tradition or forgetfulness. We learn about the nature of laws deemed "laws from Moshe at Sinai", and how they differ from the accepted explanations from Moshe at Sinai. We also learn why dissenting opinions that are overruled are still included in in the Mishnah. In short, a delightful and profound exploration of the Oral Law included in the Mishnah.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –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.

Intro:Good morning! Matt Flummer teaches today on a challenging, crucial topic: justice. In our Proverbs series, we'll explore biblical justice, contrasting it with secular views to find profound clarity.Scripture References: Proverbs 1:1-3, 17:23, 29:4, James 2:1-4, Proverbs 18:5, 24:23-24, Isaiah 5:20, Proverbs 11:1, 20:10, 16:8, 16:11, 28:16, Leviticus 19:35-36, Proverbs 6:10-11, 10:4, 13:18, 13:23, 14:21, 14:31, 19:17, 21:26, 31:8-9, Deuteronomy 10:18, Isaiah 1:17, Jeremiah 21:11-12, Proverbs 21:3, Micah 6:8, Romans 3:10-26Key Points:Defining Justice: Proverbs links justice (Mishpat) and righteousness (Sadech) as inseparable. Secular views often split, focusing on either fairness/equity or freedom/individualism.Injustice in Proverbs:Bribery (Prov 17:23): Using influence for personal gain, treating people as means.Partiality to Wicked (Prov 18:5): Refusing to confront evil within one's "team" for perceived unity.Justice in Proverbs:Business Dealings (Prov 11:1): Fair measures, honest gain, opposing dishonest practices.Treatment of the Poor: Poverty is complex—caused by laziness/foolishness (Prov 6:10-11) AND injustice/oppression (Prov 13:23). Proverbs commands radical generosity regardless of cause (Prov 14:21), honoring God. We must also defend the oppressed (Prov 31:8-9), as God aligns with the vulnerable. Jesus himself identified with the poor.Three Takeaways:"I and my things are not my own." Our wealth is God's and partly for the poor (gleaning laws). We are stewards; be radically generous.Corporate & Individual Responsibility. Bible shows both: families/nations accountable for others' sins, but also individual accountability before God. Hold both truths.Justice Linked to Worship. Justice is giving each their due, including God. "To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice" (Prov 21:3).The Way of Justice: Through the Cross:"No one is righteous" (Rom 3:10). We can't be just on our own.God's righteousness is manifested through faith in Jesus (Rom 3:21-26). He is both just and our justifier. The cross is ultimate justice.Conclusion:We can't achieve justice alone. Trust Jesus, who is just and justifies us. Practicing justice pleases God, made possible by Him.Call to Action:At worship, ask the Spirit to reveal injustice in your life (e.g., treating people as means). Submit to Jesus. The communion table symbolizes His ultimate act of justice. Come and receive His body broken and blood shed for you. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI.

The Rhythm of Scripture: My life is shaped by the full story of the Bible. What if the Bible isn't just a book of rules or stories, but the story that makes sense of your life? In this opening message of our Rhythms series from Acts 1–2, we explore how the rhythm of Scripture anchors us in the redemptive drama of God, from creation to new creation, and calls us to take our place in his unfolding mission. We trace the story from Acts to Luke to Isaiah to Leviticus, and discover that Jesus doesn't just teach truth – he is the truth. Jubilee has come in him. Scripture isn't a static reference manual; it's the Spirit-breathed script of the Kingdom – and we are summoned to live it out. If you've ever felt disoriented in today's culture or unclear about your place in God's purposes, this message will ground you in the gospel and invite you to live a life shaped by Jesus, empowered by the Spirit, and engaged in mission. About this Series: This summer at Calvary, we're taking a fresh look at the spiritual rhythms that formed the first Christians. These weren't religious routines or programs; they were patterns of grace that naturally flowed from knowing Jesus – habits like prayer, community, generosity, worship, and mission. Whether you're in the midst of family life or learning to walk through a quieter season, these rhythms can help deepen your walk with Jesus. They're not about doing more, but about living more fully…rooted in God's story of redemption, and in step with Jesus in your everyday life.

After the Jewish nation trounced the mighty kingdoms of Sichon and Og in last week's parsha, the comparatively smaller and weaker kingdom of Moab resorted to unconventional warfare to attack the nation by hiring the prophet of the nations, a wily and devious character named Bilaam, to curse the Jews. It did not work out as planned.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –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 of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the 17th gate of generosity from Orchos Tzaddikim (page 561, Treasure for Life edition) during a "Mussar Mondays" Masterclass. He redefines generosity as a heart-driven trait encompassing not just financial giving but also kindness, wisdom, and physical effort, using Abraham's hospitality and advocacy as a model. Generosity, he explains, elevates one spiritually and socially, yielding rewards in this world and the next, as illustrated by a story of a man in Ashdod whose father's kindness decades earlier led to an unexpectedly lavish wedding for his daughter.Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes that generosity is a divine loan, citing King Solomon's teaching to “cast your bread upon the water” for future returns. He highlights three forms of generosity—monetary, physical, and intellectual—and encourages proactive giving without calculation, as God replenishes the giver. Tied to the Torch campaign at GiveTorch.net, the episode inspires listeners to embrace generosity as a transformative act that aligns with divine will and fosters connection, urging them to judge others favorably and share wisdom to uplift the world.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 10, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on July 6, 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! Share your questions at aw@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, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Our Siddur is replete with prayers for the coming of Moshiach. It is something that for millennium we have anticipated. After listening to Rabbi Yaghobian speak on this matter, I felt like a character from the 90's movie Pulp Fiction; a woman who was overdosing from a heroin, only to be brought back to life via an adrenaline shot through her sternum into her heart.  Rabbi Yaghobian's words were like that adrenaline shot, causing me to wake up and see, that the Era of Moshiach is no longer an idea for some distant future, but the reality we live in today, as we are now living in the Era of Moshiach.WARNING: Listening to this episode will create an insatiable desire to learn Torah, do mitzvos with intention, improve ones' character traits and help out their fellow Jews by supporting Jewish Outreach organizations.
