We conclude the daily Korbanot section with "Rabbi Yishmael Omer" – a Berayta (passage by a Tanna) authored by the great sage Rabbi Yishmael, listing the thirteen methods with which the Sages extracted Halachot from the text of the Torah. If one wishes to extract oil from the ground, it is not enough to know where the oil is located – he needs the right machinery to extract the oil from beneath the ground. Likewise, to deduce Halachot from the Biblical text, one needs to have the "tools," the rules by which the Halacha can be determined based on a careful analysis of the text. The first of these "tools" is Kal Va'homer, whereby a conclusion is reached through logical deduction, by noting that the Halacha applies in a less intuitive context. An analogy would be a person concluding that he can lift a certain heavy object after seeing that someone weaker than him was able to lift it. An example of a Kal Va'homer in the Torah is G-d's announcement of Miriam's punishment for speaking Lashon Ha'ra. He said that if Miriam's father had angrily scorned her, she would be ashamed for an entire week, so certainly, now that Hashem has scorned her by having her stricken with Sara'at, she should remain outside the camp for a week (Bamidbar 12:14). The second of Rabbi Yishmael's thirteen methods is Gezera Shava – extending a Halacha that applies in one context to a different context on the basis of a common word shared by these two areas of Halacha. Likely the most famous Gezera Shava is the connection drawn by the Sages between Pesach and Sukkot. The Torah establishes an obligation to eat Masa on the night of Pesach, the 15 th of Nissan, and the Sages deduced that on the first night of Sukkot one is similarly required to eat bread in the Sukka. As the Torah requires observing Pesach on "Hamisha Asar" – the "15 th " of Nissan, and it requires observing Sukkot on "Hamisha Asar" – the 15 th of Tishreh, we may infer that the obligation that applies on the night of Pesach applies also on Sukkot. Hence, one must eat bread in the Sukka on the first night of Sukkot just as one must eat Masa on the first night of Pesach. (Throughout the rest of Sukkot, although one who wishes to eat bread must do so in the Sukka, he does not have an obligation to eat bread in the Sukka; this obligation applies only on the first night.) The Tur writes that we recite this Berayta at the end of the Korbanot section between it is the introduction to Torat Kohanim – the Halachic Midrash on the Book of Vayikra, which focuses on the sacrifices, and is thus relevant to the topic of sacrifices. Furthermore, this Berayta appears in the Gemara (Yoma 33a), and thus by incorporating it as part of our daily prayer service, we ensure to learn some Gemara each day (just as reciting Ezehu Mekoman each day ensures the daily study of Mishna).

After we recite in the morning the section of the Ketoret and the passage of "Abayeh Hava Mesader," we recite a very special prayer – Ana Be'cho'ah. This prayer was composed by one of the great Tanna'im – Rabbi Nehunya Ben Ha'kaneh, whom the Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1806) describes as one of the earliest Kabbalists, preceding even Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai. The Ana Be'cho'ah prayer is so significant that the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) and many others write that if a person arrives late to Shaharit, and needs to skip the introductory portions of the prayer service, he should not skip Ana Be'cho'ah. This prayer consists of seven lines, each of which with six letters, for a total of 42 letters, and these 42 letters spell the special 42-letter Name of Hashem. This Name is the "elevator," the Name associated with rising to the upper worlds. It is critically important to recite Ana Be'cho'ah as part of our introduction to Shaharit because it elevates us to the heavens so we can present our Tefilot to G-d. By the time we recite the Amida, we want to be standing before the Heavenly Throne, so we can speak directly to the Almighty. The recitation of Ana Be'cho'ah elevates us to the higher spheres so we can speak to Hashem while standing in front of His Throne. It is proper to recite this Tefila slowly and to take note of the first letters of the words. This Name is alluded to also in the first paragraph of Shema, which consists of 42 words (from "Ve'ahabta" through "U'bi'sh'arecha"), corresponding to the 42 letters of this Name. For this reason, some Siddurim feature the letters of this divine Name alongside the words of this paragraph of Shema. Another allusion to this Name is found in Kaddish – specifically, in the phrase "Ve'yishtabah Ve'yitpa'ar Ve'yitromam Ve'yitnaseh Ve'yit'hadar Ve'yit'aleh Ve'yit'halal," which consists of seven words that each contains six letters, for a total of 42. Some have the custom to recite Ana Be'cho'ah each night before going to sleep. The soul departs and rises to the heavens when one sleeps, and so it is appropriate to recite this prayer which, as mentioned, is associated with elevation and ascent. Likewise, it is customary to recite Ana Be'cho'ah at funerals, Heaven forbid, as the coffin is being taken for burial, and the soul is ready to rise to the heavens. In some communities, Ana Be'cho'ah is recited before Lecha Dodi on Friday night, as we elevate ourselves to the higher plane of Shabbat. Likewise, many recite this prayer after counting the Omer, as the Omer counting is intended to elevate us in preparation for Matan Torah on Shabuot. The custom to read Ana Be'cho'ah following the recitation of "Abayeh Hava Mesader" was taught by the Arizal, as brought in Sha'ar Ha'kavanot. This is cited by the Kaf Ha'haim (Rav Yaakob Haim Sofer, Baghdad-Jerusalem, 1870-1939). The Seder Ha'yom (Rav Moshe Ben Machir, Safed, 16 th century), by contrast, writes that it is better to recite Ana Be'cho'ah later, just before Baruch She'amar. He explains that the world was created with the power of this 42-letter Name, and so it is appropriate to allude to this Name just before reciting "Baruch She'amar Ve'haya Ha'olam," when we give praise to Hashem who created the world. However, we follow the Arizal's teaching, that Ana Be'cho'ah should be recited after the section of "Abayeh Hava Mesader." One possible explanation for the Arizal's custom is that the section of "Abayeh Hava Mesader," which lists the various Abodot (services) performed daily in the Bet Ha'mikdash, omits Birkat Kohaim (the priestly blessing), which was recited each day in the Bet Ha'mikdash. In the Bet Ha'mikdash, the Kohanim reciting Birkat Kohanim would use the Shem Ha'meforash – the divine Name that is normally forbidden to utter, and according to some, this was the 42-letter Name. Perhaps, then, we add Ana Be'cho'ah – which is associated with this Name – after the section of "Abayeh Hava Mesader" to allude to the daily recitation of Birkat Kohanim in the Bet Ha'mikdash. The Ana Be'cho'ah prayer concludes with the pronouncement of "Baruch Shem Kebod Malchuto Le'olam Va'ed," giving praise to the exalted Name of G-d, which this prayer expresses.

Omer explains how one simple shift, like waking up early, can create a ripple effect across productivity, mental clarity, and physical health. He also highlights how negative thinking patterns often hold people back, and why focusing on what you want, instead of what you fear, is critical for progress.A defining moment in the episode is Omer's personal transformation, moving from self-doubt and internal limitations to confidence and structure.

It is maybe not the right time for you. Maybe you can give it your best, but you don't have the ability to control the result. You have the ability to put in the effort. 6:53 - If you try to hold sand and if you try to grab it as tightly as possible, you're unable to grab that sand. It's all it's gonna fall off. But if you just grab onto it lightly, gently, and not really thinking about it too much. It just stays with you. 15:43 - You just have to be strong enough to accept. And there is no such thing as failure. It's just feedback, it's just no doubt that what went wrong and was under your control that you could have changed the table. Those would be my important things that I would focus on. 18:09 - Active listening plays a very, very impactful role in terms of everything. 23:26 - I'm very fortunate that I did have that comfort of being around people that gave me that luxury and ability to really push through and be the person I am today. And I feel that probably I am the best version of myself. 29:59 - Failing is part of the whole experience. The more you fail, the faster you learn. The faster you learn, the more successful you become. 33:32 - It's never too late to change and always be around people who would give you that critical feedback, but take it positively and try to make that change.  LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/omer-rahi-7738691a/The Matrix Green Pill Podcast: https://thematrixgreenpill.com/Please review us: https://g.page/r/CS8IW35GvlraEAI/review

Rabbi Shulman presents a teaching from Rav Tzadok (in *Machshavot Charutz*) that the three regalim align with the three life-areas described as dependent on “mazal”: children, life, and sustenance. He develops how Pesach corresponds to מזונות/פרנסה and why the Omer process refines human physicality from “animal food” (barley) toward “human food” (wheat), culminating in Shavuot as the “עצרת”—the internalization of revelation into lasting vessels. The centerpiece is the linkage of Torah and בנים: children represent a person's eternity, and new souls require new expansions of Torah (especially תורה שבעל פה) as their spiritual “place” in the world.

In this inspiring episode for Shavuot, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe presents a complete overview and deep dive into the Book of Ruth (Megillat Ruth). Written by the Prophet Samuel, it tells the story of Ruth the Moabite princess who converts to Judaism out of genuine love for Naomi and the Jewish people, ultimately becoming the great-grandmother of King David and an ancestor of Moshiach. The book emphasizes themes of kindness (Chesed), loyalty, modesty, second chances, and personal commitment to Torah.Rabbi Wolbe highlights why Ruth is read on Shavuot: it shows the Torah is acquired through difficulty and dedication (not luxury), Ruth's conversion mirrors our acceptance of the Torah at Sinai (“Na'aseh v'nishma”), the story occurs during the harvest season (Chag HaKatzir), and it underscores the centrality of Chesed — the very foundation of the Torah. He also explains key halachic concepts from the book (Leket, Pe'ah, Shikcha, Yibum, Chalitzah) and powerful lessons about not running from challenges, embracing one's unique journey, and understanding that apparent setbacks often pave the way for redemption and greatness.To Download the Book of Ruth Outline: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z6J6Zcvl8EJ0R8s_nSGhzGxLV5uM81eb_____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on May 19, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 20, 2026_____________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 powerful episode of the Land of Israel Fellowship, Ari Abramowitz, Jeremy Gimpel, and Tehila Gimpel come together for a deeply timely Torah conversation as we approach Shavuot — the Festival of Receiving the Torah. This week's live Fellowship explores the spiritual meaning of Shavuot, the prophetic connection between King David and Mount Sinai, and the unfolding story of redemption in the Land of Israel today. From Jerusalem Day to Shavuot, from ancient prophecy to modern headlines, this teaching reveals how Biblical patterns continue to shape our generation. Jeremy Gimpel shares a profound Torah insight on King Saul and King David, and how the transition between these two forms of leadership reflects deeper spiritual movements happening in Israel today. He connects these themes to the Book of Samuel, Mashiach ben Yosef and Mashiach ben David, and the idea that the Prophets are not just history — they are unfolding prophecy. Ari Abramowitz offers a moving dvar Torah connecting the wilderness of Sinai, the Book of Ruth, and the wheat fields of Judea. His teaching reveals how the journey from Midbar to Mount Sinai to Beit Lechem is one continuous story of return, covenant, and redemption still unfolding in our generation. Tehila Gimpel brings a powerful reflection on Shavuot and the counting of the Omer, explaining that the preparation for receiving Torah is not passive but transformational. Shavuot, she teaches, is not only about receiving Torah — but becoming the kind of vessel that can receive it, living with the spirit of “Naaseh V'Nishma.” Together, this episode weaves Scripture, prophecy, prayer, and modern Israel into one living message: the story of redemption is still being written.

Today in History: “Yom HaMeyuchas,” the Day of Distinction, when Israel was selected as God's chosen people at Mount Sinai (see Exodus 19:4–6). ”…if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be My own possession among all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine; and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.”This week's portion is called Shavuot (Feast of Weeks)TORAH PORTION: Deuteronomy 15:1–18GOSPEL PORTION: Luke 24:28–43What verse spoke to you most today and why?Did you learn something you need to do in your life?Daily Bread for Kids is a daily Bible reading podcast where we read through the Torah and the Gospels in one year!

Rabbi Shulman frames the final week of ספירת העומר as the culminating עבודה that leads directly into שבועות: the מידה of מלכות. Unlike the earlier weeks' focus on “doing” (active character refinement), מלכות is about “receiving”—aligning oneself with the singular רצון of הקדוש ברוך הוא and recognizing His unified dominion in all events. He connects this to קבלת עול מלכות שמים through שמע ישראל, explaining that Hashem's oneness and kingship are mutually defining, and that this awareness is the core of אמונה.

Today in History: The day Samuel the Prophet died (according to tradition, see 1 Samuel 25:1). Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Day): In 1967 during the Six Day War, Israel's paratroopers recaptured the Old City of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. ”This morning, the Israel Defense Forces liberated Jerusalem. We have united Jerusalem, the divided capital of Israel. We have returned to the holiest of our holy places, never to part from it again. To our Arab neighbors we extend, also at this hour…our hand in peace” (Defense Minister Moshe Dayan).This week's portion is called Bamidbar (In the desert) TORAH PORTION: Numbers 3:40–51GOSPEL PORTION: Luke 23:44–56What verse spoke to you most today and why?Did you learn something about God?Daily Bread for Kids is a daily Bible reading podcast where we read through the Torah and the Gospels in one year!

Rabbi Shulman explains that the final week of Sefirat HaOmer corresponds to **מלכות**, the divine attribute of “kingship,” rooted in the pasuk recited when the Torah is taken out: “לך ה׳ … לך ה׳ הממלכה והמתנשא לכל ראש.” He develops מלכות as **רצון**—the unifying will that gives direction and cohesion to all reality—and shows why its historical manifestation is the ultimate defeat of **עמלק** and the confrontation with **גוג ומגוג**. Along the way, Rabbi Shulman uses the Ramchal to address the tension between Hashem's absolute will and human free choice, and concludes with how מלכות is lived personally through **אמונה**: receiving, recognizing, and unifying life under Hashem's purpose.

Today in History: The Apostles waited in Jerusalem, praying during the last 10 days of the Omer count (see Acts 1:4). “Do notleave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised…Then they returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives…They all joined together constantly in prayer” (NIV).This week's portion is called Bamidbar (In the desert)TORAH PORTION: Numbers 3:1–13GOSPEL PORTION: Luke 23:13–25What verse spoke to you most today and why?Did you learn something about God?Daily Bread for Kids is a daily Bible reading podcast where we read through the Torah and the Gospels in one year!

Over the past few years, Houston has taken in more Afghan refugees than any other American city. When refugees arrive, Omer Yousafzai is there to welcome them. He owns The Afghan Village restaurant, which has become a community hub and gathering place for Afghans and non-Afghans alike. This week Dan heads to Houston to share a meal with Omer at his restaurant. Over palau and kabobs — cooked with the help of Omer's nine-year-old son — they discuss how Omer's time as a defense contractor in the Afghanistan War inspired him to open the restaurant, the place's rocky first days, and why some people eat there for free. This episode originally aired on May 2, 2022, and was produced by Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Johanna Mayer, Tracey Samuelson, and Jared O'Connell.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: Bamidbar What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week's Torah parsha? What is the connection between Bamidbar and Matan Torah on Shavuos? If the Torah was given in the desert to show that nobody can claim ownership of it, how can the Jewish nation claim exclusive ownership of the Torah? Is the Torah only for Jews? What is the purpose of counting the Jewish people? Why did the Rebbe gaze at each person passing by to recite the blessing over the Lulav on Sukkos 5752?What does all this teach us today? How are the curses in Torah really hidden blessings and why do they have to be disguised as the opposite? What is an example of a great blessing hidden within an apparent curse?  If they are really hidden blessings, how do they serve as a deterrent? Should we see negative life experiences as hidden blessings? How do we reconcile counting the Omer with the care taken not to count people? Behar-Bechukosei In our times, are we all obligated to learn the Inner Torah?  How do we explain the idea that a soul is a “piece” of G-d?  How can we understand and relate to G-d?   Is counting a positive thing? How can a blemished person pray?  How should we react to “observant” Jews harassing Arabs?  How should I deal with religious incompatibility in my marriage?  Why don't we recite the chapter about Manna in our daily prayers?

Frannie Marin Talks Survivor 50 Ep 11 Things get wild as Survivor 50 speeds toward its finale, with Rob Cesternino back in the studio and joined by Survivor 44’s Frannie Marin. In this recap episode, Rob and Frannie unpack the pivotal twists, strategic gambits, and shifting alliances that define one of the most chaotic episodes yet. Rivalries heat up, idols get wasted, and the power dynamics shift in surprising ways, all as fans hold their breath for what's next in the landmark season of Survivor. Survivor 50's high-stakes gameplay takes center stage, as Rob and Frannie analyze the controversial power broker twist that splits the tribe into two small groups with one player flipping between votes. They debate the consequences of Jonathan's overpowered immunity streak and the kind of influence he wields over the split tribes. Frannie reflects on Ozzy's emotional journey and ultimate blindside, complete with a pocketed idol, while questioning if Rizo's strategic betrayal leaves him better off or isolated. Scenes like Aubry's wily bug-eating in the auction, Joe's old-school ethics clashing with Rick Devins' brash antics, and Tiffany's quiet but rising threat status fuel the discussion on what it takes to thrive in this ever-shifting “house rules” version of Survivor. Rob and Frannie also highlight how the doubled $2 million prize affects (or doesn't) people's decisions, and debate whether under-edited players like Tiffany are actually set up to win big. Key moments discussed: – The controversial power broker twist, splitting the tribe and letting Jonathan vote twice – Ozzy's dramatic exit with an idol in his pocket after a prophetic dream – Aubry's scrappy survival, shifting from dismissed to dangerous – The evolving rivalry between Joe and Rick, and its roots in old wounds – Tiffany's under-the-radar rise and social game, with Frannie breaking down winner edit theories As Survivor 50 nears its climax, Rob and Frannie ask: Can Cirie survive without her shield, and has the game outgrown the classic “lions vs. hyenas” dynamic? Who stands out as the real jury threats as the game tightens? Tune in for an episode packed with sharp Survivor analysis, sneaky alliances, and the burning question: Can anyone stop Cirie's march to victory, or is a new underdog about to seize the crown? 0:00 Frannie Marin Returns to the Podcast 1:14 Mystery of Omer's Dented Car 4:01 Billie Eilish Concert Movie Invite 9:47 Survivor 50's Power Broker Twist 17:05 Ozzy's Survivor 50 Exit Discussed 21:34 Frannie on Survivor Persona vs. Real Life 28:28 Does $2 Million Change Gameplay? 33:10 Joe vs. Rick: Rivalry and Motives 40:52 Rizo's Blindside of Ozzy Debated 54:23 Aubry's Underdog Journey Examined 1:05:09 Tiffany's Rising Winner Potential 1:27:23 Can Cirie Survive the Endgame?

She unpacks “Omer” (manna measure, barley offering, forgotten sheaf for the needy) as receiving from God, returning to God, and giving to others, and defines “Sefirah” as counting, story, and shining, framing the Sefirot as divine vessels and soul powers. Using building a business, she maps Keter through Malchut and applies the framework to relationships, procrastination, balancing effort with surrender, and the 49-day count leading to an uncountable 50th, emphasizing that simply counting fulfills the mitzvah and that God meets us in our humanity.Join us for a beautiful Pre-Shavuos evening on Wednesday, May 13 at the Shul Bal Harbor.

Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH in Houston explores Parshas Shemini, focusing on the inauguration of the Mishkan (Tabernacle) and the tragic death of Nadav and Avihu, sons of Aaron, who offered an “alien fire” not commanded by God. Their deaths highlight the severe consequences of deviating from Hashem's precise instructions, yet Aaron's silent acceptance demonstrates profound trust and submission to divine judgment. Immediately afterward, God commands Aaron and the Kohanim not to enter the Temple service while intoxicated with wine, so they can clearly distinguish between sacred and profane, pure and impure.Rabbi Wolbe extends this lesson beyond the Kohanim: Torah teachers and rabbis are also forbidden from teaching while drunk, as intoxication blurs the ability to transmit God's message accurately. Studying and teaching Torah is a direct line of communication between heaven and earth, just like the Temple service. He stresses returning to basics—prayer as heartfelt communication with God, blessings as rabbinic tools built on biblical foundations, and the importance of clarity in halacha rather than adding unnecessary stringencies or blurring lines (e.g., kosher “cheeseburger” innovations or acapella music during the Omer).The episode encourages practical clarity in Jewish life: don't drive to shul on Shabbos (a biblical prohibition outweighs the rabbinic ideal of minyan), build communities around synagogues and Mikvaot, and avoid confusion in observance. Rabbi Wolbe reminds listeners that Torah study connects us directly to God's will, urging us to pursue it with a clear mind and heart for a meaningful Shabbos._____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & 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 May 1, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 7, 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.
