Creating a Lasting Impact
The week exploded with joy: a healthy baby boy, hospital runs, school interviews for our four-year-old, and more miles on the Parkway than we can count. In the rush, a harder truth surfaced—our Gemara seat sat empty—and that stung. So we turned to Vayera for clarity and found a verse that hit like a bell: God doesn't single out Avraham for breaking idols, debating kings, or even building a tent of radical hospitality. The love lands here—he teaches his children and his household to keep the way of God.That insight flips the scoreboard most of us carry in our heads. Public greatness is good; parenting is greater. We unpack how Avraham's legacy makes the home the primary beit midrash and why brief, consistent moments with our kids—ten minutes of Torah, a Shabbat table that lives, a nightly story or song—can shape identity more deeply than any speech. We talk about brit milah as a parent's obligation, the danger of outsourcing chinuch, and the quiet power of modeling growth where children can see it and feel it. When kids trust that love guides our choices, they'll walk beside us even on steep paths.You'll hear practical ways to turn family life into lasting learning: questions at dinner that spark wonder, small rituals that stack into memory, check-ins that teach integrity as clearly as halacha. Work matters. Learning matters. But raising a child in God's ways is where love and duty meet, and that conviction can redeem a week that might look “unproductive” on paper. If God loved Avraham for being a father first, we can reorder our homes—and our calendars—to follow suit. If this conversation speaks to you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review with one family ritual you'll start tonight.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!------------------Check out our other Torah Podcasts and content!

In this week's episode Rabbi Kohn talks about the powerful lesson we learn from the Parsha on how we need to realize our responsibilities even in the face of pain. We see from Hagar action show we are not supposed to act. He also discusses the true tolerance of Abraham. How we must learn to seperate the action from the person. Lastly he brings out a lesson from the binding of Isaac on how we never loose when we do what Hashem wants. Subscribe to The Practical Parsha Podcast.

In this week's Parshas Vayera episode, Reb Asaf Aharon Prisman shares a revolutionary insight from Rav Yitzchak Svei that transforms how we understand both Sarah's test and the spiritual mechanics of Ayin Hara (the evil eye). The key detail everyone misses: Ishmael was hiding in the background, listening to the angel's promise.Discover why Sarah's "laugh" was actually strategic deception, how Ayin Hara really works (it triggers divine judgment by making Hashem ask "Does this person deserve what they have?"), and the one phrase that creates an impenetrable shield: acknowledging that everything we have is undeserved chesed from Hashem.This isn't about superstition—it's about understanding the spiritual cause-and-effect that governs blessing and protection. Learn how humility becomes armor, why feeling deserving is spiritually dangerous, and how the Arizal's teachings on Ayin Hara reveal a life-changing approach to gratitude.Prism of Torah brings deep yeshiva-style Torah learning with practical application for modern Jewish life. Each week, Rabbi Asaf explores the weekly parsha through unconventional questions that reveal transformative insights.
בראשית פרק יח פסוק יט כִּי יְדַעְתִּיו לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר יְצַוֶּה אֶת־בָּנָיו וְאֶת־בֵּיתוֹ אַחֲרָיו וְשָׁמְרוּ דֶּרֶךְ יְהֹוָה לַעֲשׂוֹת צְדָקָה וּמִשְׁפָּט לְמַעַן הָבִיא יְהֹוָה עַל־אַבְרָהָם אֵת אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר עָלָיו׃ Bereishit Chapter 18 Verse 19 For I have singled him out, that he may instruct his children and his posterity to keep the way of יהוה by doing what is just and right, in order that Hashem may bring about for Abraham what has been promised
In this week's episode Rabbi Kohn discusses a powerful lesson from the weekly Parsha about how we need to look at ourselves. That it always more important to bring about "kavod shomayim"(honor of heaven) even at the expense of our own honor. Because we are not here for just ourselves. He also talks about how we learn a lesson from Avraham to serve G-D with both our good and evil inclinations. Subscribe to The Practical Parsha Podcast.

Short Insights From Toras Reb Levi Yitzchok, The Rebbes Father.
*From The Rebbe's Father זצ״ל*V'yairaAnd through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.*עקב* אשר שמעת בקולי*22:18In Parshas Toldos it also mentions *עקב* אשר שמע אברהם בקולי*26:5The Talmud states (Nidorim 32a)AVROHOM recognized his Creator at the age of three years, as it is stated: “Because [*ekev*] AVROHOM hearkened to My voice” (Genesis 26:5). The numerical of the letters of the word *עקב* is 172, indicating that he observed the halakha for this many years. If AVROHOM lived until 175 then his first recognition of the Creator must have been at the age of three.Connecting the *עקב* of Parshas וירא to the *עקב* of Parshas תולדות. אגרות קודש ע׳ רמבילקוט לוי יצחק וירא סי׳ קמ״ה
