On the way to Charan Jacob stopped at Mount Moriah. He spent the night there and the Torah documents his very fateful dream: he saw a ladder suspended between heaven and Earth, upon which Angels of God were ascending and descending. The commentaries offer multitudes of interpretations as to the symbolism and meaning behind this ladder. In this very special and unique Parsha podcast we briefly survey some of the interpretations, and then delve deeply into two most interesting and arcane interpretations of this ladder. We discover how on one dimension, this ladder descends from Heaven to Earth, and on another dimension it is our means of ascent from Earth to Heaven on high. This is not a podcast you will easily forget!– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –This Parsha Podcast is dedicated in loving memory of Marvin Bentley, the brother of our friend Barb Pudlo, who passed away today.

When Pilate finally pronounced judgment upon Jesus, he turned and washed his hands in an expression of innocence of "this man's blood." In doing so, he was repeating the religious ritual of "hand washing" which was part of the Jewish seder observed during Passover. Does this mean that Pilate was ultimately innocent of the condemnation of Jesus, or was he truly guilty of Jesus' crucifixion?

Mother Miriam Live - December 4th, 2024 Continuing The History of Advent by Dom Prosper Guéranger If it took the Israelites during Exodus 40 years to get to red sea, why did it take so short for pharaoh soldiers to get to them? Why did the Jews have to mark the doors at the first Passover? What do you think of me and my spouse doing a Josephite marriage? How does one combat the argument that Mary sinned by not consummating her marriage to Joseph? Do you use Amazon or avoid it? When and why do older women start dressing like men? My wife is totally against me bringing our children to a Catholic church.

This one gets heavy. We begin with the background of Yaakov & Eisav , but quickly become aware that there is more than meets the eye in their incredible story. -WARNING-This one gets pretty emotional at the end as it finds its climax in the enormous power of Leah's tears. 

Prepare to unlock the mysteries of prayer as we journey through the profound significance of the number four in Jewish teachings. We gain a deeper understanding of how Hashem's four-letter name and the elemental forces—fire, air, water, and earth—mirror human traits and bodily functions. This episode promises to illuminate the connections between these elements and the four realms of existence, levels of Torah understanding, and the enriching practice of reviewing teachings four times. We also connect these ancient concepts to modern psychology's personality types, the agricultural cycle, Jewish law, and levels of the soul, with a focus on Asiya, the world of action, our current realm.Join us as we explore the structured journey of prayer, moving through gratitude in the world of Asiyah to the spiritual heights of the Amidah. Experience the transformative power of humility, guided by the wisdom of our sages, and appreciate the sacred symbolism of walking multiple hallways to approach a king's inner sanctum. This episode reflects on humility's vital role in prayer, enhancing your spiritual practices with a deeper perspective. Through a tapestry of teachings, we promise a rich exploration of spirituality and a thoughtful examination of how these ancient practices resonate with our modern lives._____________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. #22) of the Prayer Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Dr. Leonard & June Goldberg!

What if maintaining your spiritual connection could transform every journey into a divine experience? Join us as we unravel the profound spiritual journey of Yaakov in Parsha Vayeitzei, exploring the significance of consistent faith and righteousness. We'll recount the extraordinary story of Yaakov's marriages to Rachel and Leah, shedding light on how their conversion altered their familial ties, making this unique union possible. Rachel's incredible compassion and selflessness are highlighted as she secretly aids Leah, offering lessons of faith, redemption, and the embrace of converts. These narratives invite reflection on how divine presence can be carried within us, regardless of life's travels.In a world where giving is both a duty and a virtue, finding the balance between generosity and responsibility becomes crucial. Drawing from the teachings of the Talmud, we explore the wisdom of charitable giving—where giving 10% as maaser is an obligation, while 20% can lead to great wealth, yet exceeding 30% might be reckless. We discuss the importance of balance in virtues and even jealousy, helping lead a more meaningful and virtuous life. _____________This episode (Ep 7.7) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Vayeitzei is dedicated in Honor of Ed Hoffman & 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 Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios to a live audience on December 3, 2024, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on December 3, 2024_____________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.

What happens when the journey of a wise man leads not to a king in a palace but to acts of compassion and sacrifice along dusty roads and through ancient cities? This episode invites you to explore the remarkable story of Artaban, the other wise man, whose quest for the divine offers timeless lessons on purpose and integrity. Join us as we unravel the origins of this beloved tale by Henry Van Dyke, a narrative born from the author's own struggles and reflections. Through sleepless nights and deep introspection, Van Dyke crafted a story that has touched hearts across generations, challenging us to consider the moral dilemmas and relentless pursuit of doing good.Our journey begins in the mystical city of Ecbatana, where Artaban, a priest of the Magi, embarks on a quest filled with hope and determination. With his trusted horse, Vazda, by his side, Artaban faces profound choices that test the limits of duty and humanity. As we follow his path through lands rich with history, witness how Artaban's acts of kindness alter not only his journey but also the lives he touches. From a compassionate decision to aid a dying man to offering a precious ruby to spare a life, these moments reveal the true nature of sacrifice and love.In the final chapters of Artaban's quest, the story reaches its poignant climax during the Passover in Jerusalem. Artaban's journey, marked by sacrifice and compassion, culminates in a powerful realization about the nature of kingship and love. As his life draws to a close, Artaban finds peace and fulfillment, knowing his actions served a higher calling. Reflect on the enduring impact of living a life filled with compassion and integrity, and the serene sense of joy that such a life brings, as we share this timeless narrative of purpose and spiritual fulfillment.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

John 18:28-19:16   28 Then they *brought Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter the Praetorium, so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.29 Therefore Pilate came out to them and *said, “What accusation are you bringing against this Man?” 30 They answered and said to him, “If this Man were not a criminal, we would not have handed Him over to you.” 31 So Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law.” The Jews said to him, “We are not permitted to put anyone to death.” 32 This happened so that the word of Jesus which He said, indicating what kind of death He was going to die, would be fulfilled. 33 Therefore Pilate entered the Praetorium again, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, “You are the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Are you saying this on your own, or did others tell you about Me?” 35 Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed You over to me; what have You done?” 36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.” 37 Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this purpose I have been born, and for this I have come into the world: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice.” 38 Pilate *said to Him, “What is truth?” And after saying this, he came out again to the Jews and *said to them, “I find no grounds at all for charges in His case. 39 However, you have a custom that I release one prisoner for you at the Passover; therefore do you wish that I release for you the King of the Jews?” 40 So they shouted again, saying, “Not this Man, but Barabbas.” Now Barabbas was a rebel.  19:1 So Pilate then took Jesus and had Him flogged. 2 And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and placed it on His head, and put a purple cloak on Him; 3 and they repeatedly came up to Him and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapped Him in the face again and again. 4 And then Pilate came out again and *said to them, “See, I am bringing Him out to you so that you will know that I find no grounds at all for charges in His case.” 5 Jesus then came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate *said to them, “Behold, the Man!” 6 So when the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate *said to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him; for I find no grounds for charges in His case!” 7 The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by that law He ought to die, because He made Himself out to be the Son of God!” 8 Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid; 9 and he entered the Praetorium again and *said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 So Pilate *said to Him, “Are you not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?”11 Jesus answered him, “You would have no authority over Me at all, if it had not been given to you from above; for this reason the one who handed Me over to you has the greater sin.” 12 As a result of this, Pilate made efforts to release Him; but the Jews shouted, saying, “If you release this Man, you are not a friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes Caesar!” 13 Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement—but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he *said to the Jews, “Look, your King!” 15 So they shouted, “Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him!” Pilate *said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king except Caesar.” 16 So he then handed Him over to them to be crucified.   BIBLE READING GUIDE - FREE EBOOK - Get the free eBook, Bible in Life, to help you learn how to read and apply the Bible well: https://www.listenerscommentary.com     GIVE -  The Listener's Commentary is a listener supported Bible teaching ministry made possible by the generosity of people like you.

A large section of our Parsha contains intricate descriptions of Jacob as a shepherd. Initially, he worked for Laban as a shepherd for 7 years for the rights to marry Laban's younger daughter Rachel. When the 7 years concluded, Laban swindled him, giving Leah instead, only ceding Rachel after Jacob agreed to work as a shepherd for an additional 7 years. After 14 years, Jacob's tenure as a shepherd continued: for six more years, Jacob served as Laban shepherd in exchange for pay, with all spotted and speckled sheep born to the flock being acquired by Jacob, and all monochromatic sheep remaining Laban's.What is the salience of the Torah's protracted descriptions of Jacob as a shepherd? Why did Jacob seek the speckled and spotted sheep specifically and not the monochromatic sheep? Why does the Torah spend so much time discussing Jacob the shepherd? In this special edition of the Parsha Podcast we dive deep into the meaning and mystery of the sheep of Laban.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –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.

How do you resound to Judas' actions toward Jesus? Sad, angry? I found myself being very sad. How did the Jews view the Passover? How are we supposed to view the Passover now? David Guzik has some really interesting insight that I got to see the Passover as Jesus did in this new covenant. How was Peter able to be restored after denying Jesus? These questions we will answer as well as as many other questions beloved.Josiahmovius12@yahoo.comLike to support my ministry? Cashapp: $Josiah-Movius / Venmo: Josiah-Movius

"Why would the stones cry out?"Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey, and the crowds go wild singing praises quoting psalm 118. The Pharisees asks Jesus to rebuke his disciples, and he replies, "if they don't, the stones will cry out." In this episode, we cover the Triumphant Entry, and why the stones would cry out.Matthew 21:1-11Mark 11:1-11Luke 19:28-44John 12:12-19Zechariah 9:9Psalm 118Luke 1:37www.messagetokings.com

Students of the Almighty's holy Torah are familiar with the term midrash. It refers to a series of books that serve as commentaries on the Torah and on other holy writings. But where does the Midrash come from? What authority does it have? What about the comments in the Midrash that seem outlandish and totally unreasonable. Are we supposed to understand them as being true? Are we supposed to understand them as being literal? What about conflicting citations in the Midrash? In this sweeping podcast, we explore the origin and the the standing of Midrashic literature.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –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.
