In this special Chanukah edition we delve into antisemitism of today, the tragedy that befell our people in Australia and our ultimate hope and how seeing love in each other and increasing Bitachon in Hashem is connected to what we think about when we look at the Chanukah Lights this year. I introduce and gift a special little sefer to the women shiur as we delve into the Bitachon it offers us.
What Is Said On Yom Tov?
This episode continues the laws of unintended consequences on Shabbos, focusing on sweeping floors and household cleaning. We explore whether sweeping an unpaved floor is permitted, given the concern that it may level the ground and resemble forbidden labor. The discussion contrasts lenient and stringent views, explains why paved floors are treated differently, and examines concerns of inevitability versus intention.The episode also covers practical allowances, such as using soft materials (cloths, feathers, soft brushes), asking a non-Jew to sweep, and removing items that are considered repulsive. It concludes with an important related law: avoiding cleaning tools that may break during use, since damaging utensils on Shabbos is itself prohibited.

How Do I Prepare For Shabbos?
Chazal say that Yaakov wanted to sit in tranquility at this point, after dealing with Eisav, Lavan, Shechem. Hashem said Tzadikim have tranquility in the next world, they should ask for it in this world? Is there something wrong with having a tranquil life? Wouldn't Yaakov only want this for Torah and Ruchniyus, what would be wrong with this desire? Some approaches to understanding a difficult Chazal.Have a good Shabbos

Chof-Gimmel Kislev - Shabbos Mevorchim Teves (20:01)
Chelek Tes vov. Pg 331In the story of Yehuda and Tamar, Tamar asks for Yehuda's signet ring, cloak, and staff, items that marked his unique identity. The Rebbe explains that the ring with its seal reflects a deep truth: the ring represents the natural world,, while the seal represents Shabbos/above nature- the awareness that all of nature belongs to Hashem. The seal is not separate from the ring; it's part of it and transforms the whole ring into something marked by its owner. So too, our everyday, natural life must be permeated with the “seal” of mesiras nefesh—the mark of miracles and total connection to Hashem. That's why marriage is done with a ring, learned from Yehuda and Tamar, because marriage itself blends the natural and the infinite, bringing Hashem's presence into the cycle of life. When we live with that awareness, our ordinary days become miraculous, our homes reflect Hashem's infinity, and we help bring the world to its ultimate marriage - the revelation of Moshiach.
In this episode, we finish the siman discussing plants and trees on Shabbos, beginning with the laws of dried fruits still attached to dried or living branches. Even when fruit appears detached for tumah, halachically it is still considered attached for Shabbos regarding plucking. We review cases where plants take root in odd locations—like onions under collapsed debris—and when removing them creates biblical liability.The second half focuses on the rules of using trees: direct use is prohibited, but “side-of-the-side”—an object leaning on something attached to the tree—may be permitted. Practical examples include ladders, pegs, baskets, and hammocks. We clarify when leaning on a tree is allowed (healthy individuals) and when it is prohibited (someone weak who relies on the tree). Any situation that causes the tree to move is forbidden for everyone.

What If It Was Tasted?
A practical overview of Hilchos Shabbos regarding plants, blocked gutters, sinks, smelling fragrant plants, and handling flowers or branches in water. We explore when vegetation is considered attached, when one may clear blockages with a shinui, when smelling attached plants is permitted, and key rules about soaking grains, placing branches or flowers in water, and avoiding inadvertent “planting” or “sprouting.” Includes modern applications such as blocked sinks and vases of flowers in the home.
Ron and Barbara Ashkenas' paths to Orthodox Judaism are so intertwined that their individual journeys are nearly indistinguishable. That's one of the many reasons why they're so interesting. This is their story. Saturday to Shabbos is a Tachlis Media podcast. Learn more at tachlismedia.com
The entire chapter 39 of the Kitzur is about one practical question: “I'm about to sit down for a full bread meal in 15 minutes, but I'm starving right now – can I grab a snack without making a separate after-bracha later?” The answer is mostly yes. If you eat (or drink anything except wine) before washing for bread and you will eat/drink the same thing again during the meal, many authorities (including the Mishnah Berurah's primary opinion) say the Birkat Hamazon at the end covers everything you ate earlier – no extra after-bracha is not needed. To stay safe from doubt, the Kitzur's advice is simple: either (a) don't eat those foods before the meal, or (b) make sure you eat a little of the same food again during the meal so everything is clearly connected.Wine is the big exception (as always): it always needs its own before-bracha, and if you drink it before the meal you should either drink a revi'it again after Birkat Hamazon and make Al Hagefen, or simply avoid wine until Kiddush. Cakes, cookies, pretzels, and other mezonot items follow the lenient rule – if you'll have mezonot again during the meal, Birkat Hamazon covers the pre-meal nosh too. Rabbi Wolbe's bottom line: “Better to avoid the whole question and not snack right before a bread meal… but if you do, just eat a bite of the same thing during the meal and you're golden.”The episode concludes with a transition to the Ask Away #25._____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #70) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: What is unique about the month of Kislev, and what lessons does it offer us? Yud Tes Kislev Why is this day the Rosh Hashana of Chassidus? Why was Chassidus revealed in the later generations? What is the difference between “before Petersburg” and “after Petersburg”? What do we learn from this day? Why was there a heavenly accusation against the Alter Rebbe for teaching Chassidus? Should we be afraid to say a dvar torah at the Shabbos table lest the heavenly court indict us? How do we explain the Alter Rebbe's analogy of Chassidus being like the most precious crown jewel being crushed to help save the life of the royal prince? How do you compare the Alter Rebbe's spreading of Chassidus to other Kabbalists who taught Penimiyus HaTorah? Why did they not face resistance? Is Chassidus based on the Zohar and Kabbalah or is something entirely different? Is learning the Tanya compared to having a personal yechidus with the Alter Rebbe? What “second half” is necessary to understand Tanya? Can you appreciate Tanya without song? How did the Alter Rebbe deliver his teachings to us? What is a farbrengen and where did it originate from? What's the difference between a maamar and a sicha? What was the main teaching of the Maggid of Mezritch? What is a black Marie chariot and why was it sent for the alter rebbe? How did the Alter Rebbe win his court case; what evidence did he produce to exonerate himself? What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week's Torah parsha? What is the inside story of the tribes' jealousy of Joseph, and of Joseph's fall and rise? What was the significance of Joseph's dreams that he will rule over his brothers? How could the righteous tribes sell their brother into slavery? Vayeishev
In this episode of the Prayer Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe delves into the significance of Pesukei Dezimra, a crucial segment of Jewish prayer known as the verses of song or praise. Rabbi Wolbe explains that Pesukei Dezimra serves as a preparatory phase for the main prayer, the Amidah, by fostering a state of joy and spiritual readiness. He emphasizes the importance of reciting these verses with intention and clarity, likening it to counting money—fast yet precise, ensuring no word is missed. The discussion highlights the transformative power of these prayers, which help individuals connect deeply with God, prune away distractions, and elevate their spiritual state.Rabbi Wolbe further explores the historical and spiritual context of Pesukei Dezimra, drawing on teachings from the Talmud and the Mishnah. He explains that these prayers are not only a form of praise but also a means of spiritual pruning, removing barriers to divine connection. The episode underscores the idea that prayer is a journey through different spiritual worlds, with Pesukei Dezimra acting as a vital transition from the physical to the spiritual realm. Rabbi Wolbe encourages listeners to invest time and focus in their prayers, as this investment enhances their connection with God and enriches their spiritual 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. #42) of the Prayer Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Dr. Leonard & June Goldberg!
