It's that God is Jesus. Jesus helps us understand the mystery. Someone who broke cultural norms, stood up for the vulnerable, and challenged religious authority. It leads you to challenge organized religion.@ezraklein: “Do you believe Christianity to be more true than other religions? .@jamestalarico: I believe Christianity points to the truth. I also think other religions of love point to the same truth. I've learned more about my tradition by learning more about Buddhism and Hinduism and Islam and Judaism. And so I see these beautiful faith traditions as circling the same trut about the universe, about the cosmos, and that truth is inherently a mystery.@jamestalarico : I think we should define what we mean by love. I'm not talking about a sentimental feeling. I believe love is a force as real as gravity. Scripture says that God is love. And I always think the question, ‘do you believe in God?‘ is such a strange one because to me, God is the ultimate reality — the ground of our being.  I think the question people are asking when they ask that is, ‘do you believe in love'?  And love to me is the most powerful thing in the universe

    Daily Devotions from Lutheran Hour Ministries

    Galatians 1:11-13, 15-24 - For I would have you know, brothers, that the Gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel. For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it. … But when He who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son to me, in order that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone; nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days. But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother. (In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!) Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. And I was still unknown in person to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. They only were hearing it said, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” And they glorified God because of me.

    The Letter of Jude E3 — After the letter's opening appeal, Jude (or Judah) begins warning corrupt members of a Jewish messianic church community who cast off restraint and live openly immoral lives. He does so with an ancient rhetorical technique found in both the Hebrew Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls. Jude shares three stories of rebellion in the Hebrew Bible: the spies fearful of the promised land in Numbers 13-14, the “sons of God” in Genesis 6, and the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19. Then he draws comparisons to the corrupt church members, promising they'll receive the same judgment. Why does Jude write this way about the moral crisis in a church? What is he trying to communicate? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore verses 5-8, unpacking the dense biblical references and what they would have meant to Jude and his audience.FULL SHOW NOTESFor chapter-by-chapter summaries, referenced Scriptures, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.CHAPTERSA Jewish Rhetorical Technique (0:00-18:10)Rebellion of the Spies, Sons of God, and Sodom and Gomorrah (18:10-36:41)Concluding Thoughts on the First Triad (36:41-51:54)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.BIBLEPROJECT JUDE TRANSLATIONView our full translation of the Letter of Jude.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Dead Sea Scrolls (Pesharim)Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books.SHOW MUSIC“Fellowship” by Lofi Sunday, Cassidy Godwin“Peace With You ft.

    Aliens Among Us. The language of “aliens” recurs many, many times through the Torah – compiled and written during the time of Israel's exile to Babylon, many generations after the escape from Egypt. While the imperially conquered Judaism of Jesus's day tended to keep Jewish identity front and center (so that Jesus himself never once ate with a Gentile!), there is a strong minority report in the text about God's care and concern for non-Israelite persons. What does this mean for our own reception of non-citizen immigrants? How does the contemporary church “love the alien as ourselves”?

    In this Thinking Talmudist episode on Gittin 57a, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe revisits the tragic destruction of Kfar Sekania in Egypt, sharing three powerful stories that highlight extraordinary devotion to Torah law amid extreme circumstances:A betrothed couple captured and forcibly "married" by idolaters: The wife insists on no physical intimacy without a ketubah (marriage contract); the husband honors her request for their entire lives, overcoming daily temptation far greater than Yosef's single encounter with Potiphar's wife (daily trials, shared bed, legal marriage).A sudden grain price drop (from 40 to 39 modios per dinar) traced to a father and son who violated a married woman on Yom Kippur; they were stoned, and prices normalized—showing divine justice even in exile.A man framing his wife for adultery to avoid ketubah payment by staging a fake scene with egg white and witnesses; Baba ben Buta (student of Shammai) exposed the fraud by testing the substance (egg white contracts near fire; semen does not), leading to lashes and proper payment.The rabbi emphasizes intentional living, rejecting the common focus on "dying Jewish" (e.g., myths about burial with tattoos or lashon hara) over living Jewish with purpose. He stresses that every aveira requires teshuva now, and true Jewish life means vibrant, daily commitment to mitzvot—not superficial identity.The episode closes with a beautiful discussion on the laws of family purity (niddah): the physical separation (no touching, separate beds, no passing items) creates emotional depth and preserves freshness in marriage, turning 12 days of distance into 12 annual honeymoons and preventing relationships from becoming stale or objectified._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way.

    Stefan Molyneux takes on the notion that true ethics must come straight from God's orders, pointing out how morals drawn from holy books end up being pretty subjective, with people interpreting them in all sorts of ways. He responds to someone's worry about what happens without divine rules by noting that, unlike hard science, religious morals don't hold up the same across the board. Drawing from Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, he shows how followers disagree on basics like forgiveness or following divine laws. Molyneux digs into the past tensions between these religions and the mixed messages in their ethical advice, which makes him doubt whether divine say-so really settles right and wrong. He pushes people to think about their own biases in judging morals and cautions against leaning on religious teachings to back up decisions, suggesting instead a closer look at one's own sense of ethics.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

    In this concluding Mussar Masterclass (Day 118) on Orchos Tzaddikim's Gate of Silence, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the remaining three (of five) destructive forms of mockery (leitzanut) that block the Divine Presence:Mocking beneficial deeds/activities without intent to shame—arrogantly rejecting what one doesn't personally value, leading to scorning mitzvot and eventual heresy; mockers reject rebuke and have "no hope."Habitual idle mockery (e.g., "corner dwellers" seeking laughs)—wastes time, increases sin, neglects Torah study, and incurs double loss (committing evil while missing good).Jesting mockery for entertainment (e.g., late-night shows)—lightens serious matters, leads to excessive drinking, weakens mitzvah observance in oneself and others, and desensitizes to holiness.Mockery ultimately backfires measure-for-measure ("do not mock lest your affliction worsen"), discourages mitzvot, and can lead to heresy—except when mocking grave sins like idolatry to deter others. The rabbi warns against habitual joking that erodes inspiration and clarity, urging silence to preserve reverence.

    Fewer Americans are attending church today and many facilities are even slated to be closed down. Fewer women are attending church overall, while men have remained consistent or increased in attendance. However, there is a declining rate of Christianity in the U.S. overall, now just 62% of the country. Some link this decline to the perceived increased in crime, a debatable issue that requires lots of context - some crimes have declined while others have increased. Comparing the U.S. and its largely Christian population to other nations also sets up an interesting discussion. The safest countries in the world are largely Islamic or have a mixture of Buddhism and folk religion, even atheism. Some of the least safe are Christian. The overall safest country in the world based on the Crime Index Numbeo is, however, mostly Christian, but so is the least safest. The most consistently safe and clean countries, without authoritarian-style governments, are overwhelming not comprised of the Abrahamic faiths and share one thing in common - high IQ. In other words, high IQ, at least as much as religion, plays a significant role in morality low crime. This idea is historically validated, too, since long before Moses, Monotheism and the Decalogue, civilized and intelligence cultures had instituted divinely inspired laws to maintain morality and social order. Something similar can be said of dispelling evil in the name of Jesus. In every culture there is a similar practice based on different languages, mythologies, gods and goddesses. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/crime-rate-by-country https://www.numbeo.com/crime/rankings_by_country.jsp https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31961775/ https://archive.is/gsWMa https://religionnews.com/2025/10/07/new-study-shows-men-now-surpass-women-in-church-attendance-in-major-reversal/ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=ephesians%205:22-33&version=NIV https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Peter%203&version=WE*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

    In this Prayer Podcast episode, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe begins an in-depth exploration of Baruch She'amar—the opening blessing of Pesukei Dezimra (verses of praise)—noting it may take one or two classes to cover fully. He explains the prayer's structure: an introductory section of 10 praises (corresponding to the 10 utterances of creation and 10 Commandments) followed by the actual blessing, with a total of 13 mentions of "Baruch" (representing Hashem's 13 Attributes of Mercy) and 87 words (numerical value of "paz" = finest gold, and acronym for Pesukei Dezimra).The rabbi highlights key practices: reciting Baruch She'amar standing, with song, while men hold the two front tzitzit strings (symbolizing 26 = YKVK); the prayer's origin (likely Men of the Great Assembly, with a heavenly revelation of exact wording); and its deeper meaning—praising Hashem who spoke the world into existence (yesh me'ayin), renews creation constantly (present tense verbs), decrees and fulfills, has compassion on all creatures, rewards the righteous eternally, redeems and rescues, and whose Name is blessed despite His hidden form.Hashem's actions are visible everywhere (modern miracles prove His presence), yet He remains concealed—Baruch She'amar reminds us to see the divine hand in all creation and live with constant gratitude and awe. The episode connects beautifully to the weekly parsha (Va'era), emphasizing Hashem's control and redemption._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Dr. Leonard & June GoldbergDownload the Prayer Podcast Worksheets:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iBVevW1ydyjSeyeO0iCcina7e8vix3Lt?usp=sharingThis episode (Ep. #44) of the Prayer Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Dr. Leonard & June Goldberg!

    In Judaism, there is no eternal hell or everlasting damnation like in other religions. Instead, the afterlife includes a temporary process called Gehinnom (often translated as purgatory), where the soul is cleansed of its spiritual impurities—much like washing mud off a candy before eating it.This purification lasts up to 11 months for the righteous and a maximum of 12 months for the wicked, determined by the heavenly court. That's why we recite Kaddish for only 11 months after someone passes—assuming they've already atoned and are being purified. Hell in Judaism is not punishment forever; it's a merciful cleansing so the soul can ultimately draw close to God in the World to Come._____________Question asked by: Reena Freedman Watts (Houston, Texas)To be featured on an upcoming Hey Rabbi Episode, email your video question to: heyrabbi@torchweb.orgReleased as Podcast on January 15, 2026_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hey-rabbi/id1865828877Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6S25uIqdQEALtKQQ6eeRzA_____________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:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

    Sicha Discourse, Rabbi Ari Shishler

    Making a Jewish calendar is the first mitzvah we were given because it encapsulates everything Judaism is about.

    Breakneck Through the Bible · Rabbi Bentzi Epstein

    Abraham comes back from the battle. The king of Sodom is waiting with an offer: keep all the wealth, just return the people.Abraham won't touch any of it. Not a thread, not a shoe strap. He refuses to let anyone claim they made him rich. But someone else is there too. Melchizedek, king of Salem. He's actually Shem, Noah's son, and he's the high priest. He brings out bread and wine and offers Abraham a blessing. But he makes a critical mistake. He blesses Abraham first, before blessing G-d, and this costs him everything. The priesthood is taken from his line and given to Abraham's descendants forever.Abraham's refusal of the spoils brings its own reward. From that thread and shoelace come two commandments: tzitzit and tefillin. Eternal reminders woven into Jewish life.Twenty-six years later, the same group that Abraham returned to the king of Sodom would be destroyed when fire rained down on Sodom and Gomorrah. The Talmud says Abraham shouldn't have done that. He should have kept them and set them free. The episode digs into a question we all face: how much do we do ourselves, and how much do we trust G-d? Abraham left guards at his base when he went after the four kings. Smart strategy or lack of faith? It depends. What's right for one person at one spiritual level might be wrong for someone else.This is about knowing when to act and when to let go, why even the righteous stumble, and how one reversed blessing changed everything.

    In this Parshas Review episode, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe as the parsha transitions from Moshe's doubts ("Pharaoh won't listen") to the onset of the Ten Plagues (seven here, three next week), emphasizing Hashem's total control over creation. The rabbi draws a profound lesson from a Talmudic passage in Chagigah: "Woe to those who see but do not realize what they see." The earth rests on pillars, pillars on water, water on mountains, mountains on wind, wind on storm—and the storm rests in Hashem's hand. This chain reveals that everything ultimately depends on Hashem alone—there is nothing to fear, as He holds the keys to all existence.The plagues were not random but targeted demonstrations: Egypt claimed mastery over nature (Nile, animals, atmosphere, darkness), so Hashem overturned each element to prove absolute divine sovereignty. Pharaoh's calm before the storm mirrors our false confidence in health, wealth, or plans—yet one moment can change everything (e.g., the healthy cyclist who died from a tree stump). We blame others for our "plagues" (jobs, health, relationships), but the true message is to look up: all is from Hashem.Daily mitzvot (Shema, Shabbos) remind us of the Exodus—freedom from all slavery (materialism, sports idolatry, distractions). Shabbos is the antidote: a day to "be" rather than "do," stripping away worldly pursuits to focus on Hashem, family, and eternity. The rabbi urges investing in this eternal relationship, as true security lies not in fleeting things but in the unchanging hand of Hashem._____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa Friedman and in Loving Memory of Yehoshua Ben Yehuda Leib Z"L and Sarah Bat Yisroel Z"LDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 13, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on January 14, 2026_____________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 Mussar Masterclass (Day 117) from Orchos Tzaddikim's Gate of Silence, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe delves into the first of four categories that block the Divine Presence: leitzim (mockers). Mockery divides into five types, with the focus on two profoundly evil forms:Slandering/mocking others for no gain—pure malice that steals dignity, lowers reputation, and breeds hatred, worse than theft (which at least seeks personal benefit).Mocking the poor or less successful out of arrogance and haughtiness—despising Hashem's handiwork while falsely crediting one's wealth to personal brilliance ("my power and the might of my hand").Such mockery stems from pride, ingratitude, and forgetting that Hashem creates both rich and poor. True humility recognizes personal flaws, refrains from judging others, and honors every person as divine creation. The episode powerfully warns that mocking others ultimately mocks the Creator Himself.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on July 1, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on January 13, 2026_____________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 of Strive for Truth, I explore Rav Eliyahu Dessler's opening teaching on happiness together with Rabbi Michael Cohen, challenging one of the most deeply held assumptions about what makes life fulfilling. Rather than offering techniques or motivation, this conversation helps listeners recognize the hidden drivers that quietly undermine happiness and learn how to relate differently to ambition, success, and desire. By reframing happiness as something rooted in inner alignment rather than external achievement, this episode offers a practical lens for reducing inner tension, clarifying priorities, and beginning a more grounded, purposeful way of living. Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of themselves, their motivations, and how to start redirecting their energy toward what actually brings lasting satisfaction.Connect with Rabbi Michael CohenReach out to Rabbi Michael Cohen to learn more about his one-on-one coaching work, where he applies the teachings of Strive for Truth to help individuals untangle inner confusion, clarify priorities, and live more grounded, self-expressed lives.

    Our Parsha begins in the middle of the dialogue between Moses and God. Moses' initial foray into saving the nation has gone horribly awry. Instead of alleviating the pain of the Jewish nation; his intervention exacerbated it, and he returned to the Almighty asking for an explanation. In His response, God tells Moses that he will yet see the tremendous miracles and signs of the pending Exodus. In our parsha, that plan begins to unfold, and we read about the first seven of the eventual Ten Plagues.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –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.

    In this Mussar Masterclass (Day 116) from Orchos Tzaddikim's Gate of Silence, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe teaches the seven hallmarks of a wise person (chacham) versus a fool (golem): a wise person speaks only after greater/older people, avoids interrupting, answers thoughtfully and in order, admits "I didn't hear" or "I don't know," and concedes truth—while a fool does the opposite.Silence earns reward when listening to the wise, but becomes sinful when rooted in arrogance ("I know more"). Wise speech adds flavor like salt or a ruby in gold; weak or foolish words are ignored. If your advice is rejected, quietly share it through someone influential instead of persisting.Idle chatter (sichah betelah) destroys concentration in prayer and fear of heaven—guarding speech like precious jewels in layered safes is essential. The episode concludes with an introduction to four categories (mockers, liars, flatterers, slanderers) who cannot receive the Divine Presence, promising deeper exploration next time.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on July 1, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on January 11, 2026_____________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.
