Podcasts about parshas

Parshas Shemos: What Is His Name A nation is born through suffering, and a leader emerges through humility. As Moshe encounters G-d at the burning bush, he asks a question that cuts to the core of exile: Which G-d is coming to redeem us now? Not a question of belief, but of presence. Is G-d still with us inside the darkness? This episode explores the power of G-d's answer, Eh'yeh Asher Eh'yeh, a promise that Divine presence does not wait for redemption, but lives within the struggle itself. When clarity feels distant and identity feels pressured, this Parsha reminds us that G-d has not withdrawn. He remains with us, calling us forward, asking us to stand, even before freedom arrives.

We discuss the Jewish perspective on a beard. Did Moshe Rabbeinu have a beard? Should we really Fear the Beard? Why do people stroke their beard when in doubt? And so much more!

The Book of Exodus begins with the Egyptians cunningly enslaving their Hebrew subjects: mandating that they work in backbreaking labor, killing their male sons, and trying to stamp out their spirit and curb their population.

But God heard their cries and saw their suffering and dispatched the greatest of all men, Moses, a reluctant leader, to lobby Pharaoh to release the people.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –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.

Parshas Vayechi: Beyond the Past

A crown should go to the strongest, the firstborn, or the loudest—unless the Torah is teaching a different law of power. We open Yaakov's closing blessings and follow the path that leads past Reuven, Shimeon, and Levi to Yehudah, the lion who can lie down. Not because he overwhelms others, but because he governs himself. That shift—from dominance to discipline—becomes the episode's heartbeat.We unpack Rashi's luminous reading of “from the prey, my son, you rose,” showing how Judah earns kingship through two costly choices: defusing his brothers' plot against Joseph and admitting fault to save Tamar. Then we step into the Kuzari's court, where a king seeks truth and a rabbi explains that a chassid is a ruler first over his own senses. Justice, provision, and restraint begin inside. The Vilna Gaon ties the bow: moshel me'atzmo—one who rules himself—is fit to rule a city. When appetite bows to truth, authority becomes trustworthy, and power becomes service.From there, we bring the lens to now. In an age of excess and endless options, self-mastery is not a slogan; it is survival. We talk about habits that anchor integrity, how to resist easy consensus when values are at stake, and why public credibility grows from private discipline. The lion's calm isn't sleep; it's strength in order. If you're leading a team, a classroom, a family, or just your own day, this conversation offers a clear, ancient blueprint for modern leadership that actually holds.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who leads, and leave a short review telling us one habit you're choosing to master next. Your take might spark someone else's turning point.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!------------------Check out our other Torah Podcasts and content!
