The pasuk says in this week's Parasha, Ki Tavo , ושמחת בכל הטוב – we are to rejoice with all of the good that Hashem gives us. In this world, when a person appreciates what others do for him, those people are happy to give him more. But when a person denies the good, it makes others turn away from giving him. At the end of the year, when we are going to request of Hashem to give us a new year of blessing, the best thing we could do is to first appreciate how much He has given us already. One of the reasons people don't appreciate is because they feel that everyone else has more than them and everyone else is happier than them. But they are very mistaken. The sefer Orchot HaYeshiva tells the story of a young man who went to see Rav Shach, zatzal , and lamented that it seemed to him that his friend, who had gotten engaged at the same time as he did, seemed to be happier than him. He was asking the Rabbi if he should perhaps break off his engagement. Rav Shach replied, "The boy you are talking about was here before and he had the exact same complaint. He thought that you seemed happier than him." This is the nature of man, to always think that others are happier than he, but in actuality, Hashem gives each person exactly what he needs to be happy, to do his job. If we could only focus on what we do have rather than on what everyone else seems to have, we would be so much happier. Just saying the Birkot HaShachar in the morning with kavana can bring a person such an appreciation for Hashem. The Chochma U'Musar writes, before we say each beracha , we should think about what exactly we are about to thank Hashem for and then appreciate it to the fullest. For example, he said, one of the berachot is פוקח עיוורים – that Hashem gives eyesight to the blind. Simply, we are saying when we go to sleep we can't see and each day when we wake up, Hashem gives up the ability to see once again. We are supposed to imagine the feelings of a blind man, lo alenu , and then imagine that all of a sudden, a doctor came up with a medication that could cure the blind. How much joy would a blind man have finally being able to see? That is the amount of appreciation that we are supposed to show Hashem every single day because nothing is a given and just because a person has something today doesn't necessarily mean he'll have it tomorrow. It is only because of the chesed of Hashem that we are able to enjoy the blessings He gives us each and every day. We also have to feel so fortunate that we have the zechut to serve the Melech Malchei HaMelachim HaKadosh Baruch Hu . The sefer Mizmor L'Asaf writes, when a person enters the shul in the morning, he should be overcome with hakarat hatov that Hashem gave him the privilege of entering His home to come and speak to Him. The more we appreciate, the better our avodat Hashem will be, the happier we will be and the happier Hashem will be to give us even more.

In this Merkavah installment we explore Yesod and Yosef HaTzaddik as the foundation that brings spiritual intent into concrete reality. We trace how Yosef's journey, from betrayal to leadership, models disciplined attachment and holy channeling of passion, the vav that binds heaven and earth. Yesod becomes practical through action, bris milah as covenantal alignment, business and marriage as arenas to root values, and daily mitzvos as the pipeline that carries blessing into the world. Discover how Yosef's path through suffering to greatness reveals the essence of Yesod: turning trials into foundations, passion into purpose, and becoming the channel through which divine blessing flows into the world. Join the Conversation! Be part of our growing community—join the Shema Podcast for the Perplexed WhatsApp group to share feedback, discuss episodes, and suggest future topics.

John 9:1-11 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”  3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes. 7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.8 His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn't this the same man who used to sit and beg?”  10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.11 He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”

Rabbi Yeshurun explored the complexities of understanding Rosh Hashanah and discussed prayer practices, emphasizing the importance of intentional prayer and comprehension of prayer words. He explained the concept of Malucha and its initial challenges, while also sharing insights about Kabbalah and teshuva during Rosh Hashanah. Yeshurun concluded by discussing Rosh Hashanah as an annual exam and mission statement, stressing the need for authenticity in connecting with Kabbalah and Shema through daily practices.

In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores Parshas Ki Savo, the seventh portion in the Book of Deuteronomy, focusing on Deuteronomy 26:11, which instructs the Jewish people to rejoice in all the goodness given by Hashem, including to their households, the Levites, and converts. Rabbi Wolbe, citing the Orachaim HaKadosh, emphasizes that this "goodness" refers to the Torah, described as sweeter than honey, capable of transforming negative traits like arrogance or anger into positive ones, as it extracts impurities, much like honey purifies non-kosher items over time. He shares personal anecdotes, such as his excitement at understanding Talmud for the first time at age 15, and stories of great sages like the Steipler, who survived freezing conditions through immersion in Torah study, and Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, whose Torah focus influenced even physical phenomena like a flickering light at his passing. Rabbi Wolbe underscores the Torah's transformative power, urging listeners to engage with its living, relevant teachings daily, as exemplified by his grandfather's advice to study a verse before leaving home to shield against temptation. He connects the parsha to current events, noting the Torah's status as a "tree of life" that energizes and elevates, encouraging listeners to embrace its sweetness with passion and commitment, especially during Elul, and concludes with a blessing for deeper Torah connection._____________This episode (Ep 7.46) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Ki Savo is dedicated 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 (B) to a live audience on September 9, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on September 11, 2025_____________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.

Our choices will affect not only us but our children and our children's children. We must live as examples of Yeshua, living right with God, to avoid rebellion and the sins cost!

Parashat Ki-Tabo begins with the Misva of Bikkkurim – the obligation upon a farmer to bring the first fruits that ripen to the Bet Ha'mikdash and present them to a Kohen. The farmer then makes a special declaration praising and expressing gratitude to Hashem for bringing our nation out of Egypt into the Land of Israel, where he was able to till the land and produce delicious, nourishing fruit. The unique significance and importance of this Misva is expressed in the special fanfare that characterized the process of bringing Bikkurim. The farmers would assemble and march with song and festivity through the roads, and the shopkeepers in Jerusalem would close their stores and come out to welcome and celebrate the visitors who were bringing their fruits to the Bet Ha'mikdash. The importance of Bikkurim is also articulated by the Midrash, which teaches that this Misva is mentioned in the very first word of the Torah: "Bereshit." The Midrash interprets this word to mean that the world was created for the sake of Bikkurim, which is called "Reshit" ("Reshit Bikkureh Admatecha" – "the first of the fruits of your land that ripen" – Shemot 23:19). Remarkably, the Midrash is telling us that the entire world was created so we can fulfill the Misva of Bikkurim! The reason is that G-d created the world so that He could shower us with goodness which we would then appreciate and be grateful for. The most elementary of all Torah values is gratitude, acknowledging and appreciating what was done for us. Hence, the Misva of Bikkurim, which revolves around the concept of gratitude, thanking Hashem for providing us with food, can be seen as the purpose of all creation. Our Sages teach that gratitude toward Hashem begins with feeling and showing appreciation for other people. The Midrash states: "Whoever denies his fellow's goodness will ultimately deny the Almighty's goodness." The classic example demonstrating this principle is Pharaoh, who is said to have "not known Yosef" (Shemot 1:8). It is inconceivable, the Rabbis explain, that a king who ascended the throne soon after Yosef's lifetime had not heard of Yosef. He was the one who saved Egypt from the devastating famine that struck the rest of the region, and thereby enriched the kingdom, as all the surrounding peoples came to purchase grain which Yosef had stored in anticipation of the looming drought. Rather, this means that the new Pharaoh did not acknowledge Yosef's role in saving the kingdom and bringing it to great heights of wealth and prestige. Because Pharaoh denied all the good that Yosef brought to the kingdom, he ultimately denied G-d Himself, brazenly and outrageously telling Moshe many years later, "Lo Yadati Et Hashem" – "I do not know G-d!" (Shemot 5:2). Translating this message into practical terms – one cannot be considered "religious" if he recites Birkat Ha'mazon after every meal with intense concentration, thanking Hashem for his food, and says "Modim" in the Amida prayer three times a day with great emotion, expressing gratitude to Hashem for all He does – but he does not show gratitude to the people in his life. Gratitude begins at home, with the people who do the most for us – first and foremost our parents, who gave us life and exerted so much hard work and made so many sacrifices for us, and then our spouse, the one closest to us, with whom we build and run our families. If we are not grateful to them and to everyone who helps us and does things for us, we will ultimately feel ungrateful also toward G-d. And, yes, this applies also to those who are paid to do things for us. Many years ago, I was hired as a private tutor for a teenage boy in the community. While we were learning, he called the family's housekeeper on the intercom system, and told her to bring him soda and some snacks. I was startled by the way he spoke, not even using the word "please." She came a minute later with the soda and snacks, and he said, "Close the door on your way out." I turned to the boy and asked, "You don't say 'thank you'??" "Rabbi," the boy replied, "she works for us. We're paying her to do this." "Now you're making me very nervous," I said. "Why?" "Because I also work for you. Your parents pay me, too. Are you going to treat me that way because I'm getting paid?" Whether it's the secretary, the cashier, the uber driver, the coworker, the delivery guy – feeling and expressing gratitude is not just required, but it is the ABC's of the Torah, our most basic obligation as Jews and as human beings. The more we appreciate all the people in our lives and all that they do for us, the more we will appreciate all that Hashem does for us – and this will, in turn, make us worthy of even more of His unlimited blessings and goodness.

Rise up and use the talents God has given us to use for HIs glory! How can you help to train, teach, or give to the needs of the people of God? He has a plan, it is time to ask Him.

When Rabbi Pesach Wolicki visited Pastor Doug Reed in Buffalo, the two shared a passionate, no-holds-barred conversation about one of the most entrenched ideas in global politics: the Two-State solution. Far from offering peace, they argue it would be a disaster for Israel and the world. And as for the common warnings that without it the Middle East will “explode”? In their view, those fears aren't just exaggerated — they're completely misguided. Join our hosts for a live conversation - this time in person - about one of the most contentious issues of our time.

The Torah has a surprising view on joy and how to attain it. The prevailing attitude in our society is that a person's state of joy is contingent upon circumstance: In good days, people tend to feel a bit more joyous. On bad days, it's more difficult to feel joy. Joy, according to society, is inextricably connected to circumstance. The Torah understands otherwise. The Torah teaches us that there is a dial of joy which can be easily manipulated. If you want more joy, all you need to do is rotate the dial in one direction. To reduce joy, spin it the other way. In this Parsha Podcast, we share the secret of the dial of joy. To boost your joy, listen carefully.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –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 episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the origins and significance of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, noting it commemorates the sixth day of creation when Adam and Eve were formed, making it a two-day holiday worldwide. He describes it as a day of divine judgment for all humanity, drawing from the Mishnah in Tractate Rosh Hashanah, which outlines four annual judgment periods: Pesach for grains, Shavuot for fruits, Rosh Hashanah for human deeds (determining life or death), and Sukkot for water. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes its dual nature as both solemn judgment and joyful celebration, where God desires to bestow goodness, urging listeners to prepare by realigning with divine will and crowning God as king.Rabbi Wolbe delves into the phrase "Kivnei Maron" from Psalms, interpreting it through Talmudic lenses: judging speech for truthfulness, individual talents and potential (illustrated by the Netziv's story), and one's influence on others. He stresses personal accountability for fulfilling God-given abilities, avoiding self-limitation, and positively impacting the community to merit favorable judgment. Practical advice includes believing in oneself and children, volunteering to become indispensable, and genuinely desiring spiritual growth, as all blessings for the year are decreed on Rosh Hashanah, linking to the subsequent days of repentance and Sukkot.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on September 7, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 9, 2025_____________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.

Welcome to “Robby and The Rabbi” — a podcast where ancient truth meets today's hunger for God. I'm Robby, a Christian pastor and broadcaster, and joining me is my dear friend and teacher, Rabbi Chaim Eisen — a renowned Torah scholar, the founder and dean of Yeshivath Sharashim – Zion Bible Studies, and a lifelong bridge-builder between Jews and Christians. For over 40 years, Rabbi Eisen has stirred hearts and minds across Israel, North America, and Europe, teaching the depths of the Hebrew Bible, Jewish thought, and the eternal relevance of God's word. As a senior rabbinic lecturer, a Talmudic scholar, an IDF Torah educator, and a mentor to many, his voice carries the weight of tradition — and the urgency of today. This podcast is more than conversation — it's a journey. A meeting at the crossroads of covenant. A shared longing to honor the God of Israel, and to speak His truth in the global marketplace of ideas — with clarity, reverence, and bold love. Together, we explore the Scriptures in their original Hebrew, wrestle with hard questions, and celebrate the beauty of what unites us — and the respect that deepens when we acknowledge what doesn't. So welcome to the dialogue. Welcome to the wrestle. Welcome to Robby and The Rabbi.

The judgment on Rosh Hashanah is comprehensive: every single human has his or her moment of judgment before God. Even the dead are judged again each year. The judgment covers not only our behavior with respect to fulfilling our obligations to God, it also covers interpersonal matters. If we are meritorious, we will be forgiven for all our sins on Yom Kippur, but that atones only sins down between man and God. For interpersonal sins, we are not forgiven until we appease our friend and elicit their forgiveness. But these two domains are not entirely separate. In this short and sweet podcast sourced from the writings of my grandfather of blessed memory, we learn how important our interpersonal behavior is vis-a-vis our status before God. Now is the time to prepare.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –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.
