Podcasts about shem tov

A short Torah teaching for Parshat Beha'alotcha based on the Ba'al Shem Tov's inner explanation of the trumpet blast called Teruah, תרועה.In the parsha, the trumpets are used to gather the people, guide their journeys, and awaken Divine remembrance. The Ba'al Shem Tov reveals that Teruah is not only an external sound. It is an inner call that breaks through distraction, gathers the scattered parts of the soul, and awakens the heart to return to G-d.

The Rebbe expresses joy at the upcoming cornerstone laying for the Yeshivah in Rishon LeZion, discusses the significance of the four crowns—Kehunah, Torah, Kingship, and Shem Tov—and blesses the recipient's wife for improved health. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/011/009/3548

Omer Shem Tov was kidnapped by Hamas from the Nova music festival on October 7 and held captive in Gaza for nearly five months under brutal and inhumane conditions. Despite threats, starvation, and psychological torment, he survived by staying calm, performing tasks, and even making his captors laugh. In this powerful convo, he explores how his connection to Hashem grew in captivity, what kept him going and how he survived.Thank You Hashem that we have Omer back.

Water in The Rock, or The Rock in the Water? This newletter is lengthy, so let it serve for two Shabbats. There will be no newsletter next week due to visiting Jacob's Tent services Up to the Mountain. In the last several newsletters, we've taken a close look at the many prophecies embodied in Yeshua's walk on the water of the Galilee in Matthew Fourteen. How different was Yeshua's perception of the walk than Peter and the other disciples'! For the one who was the water in the Rock…and the Rock…in the wilderness for the Israelites, it was no problem to also be the Rock in the water to his students. “He alone spreads out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea…” (Job 9:8) Sometimes it helps to put the Gospel of Matthew back into its original Hebrew text. While no one is certain of where that text might be (only fragments are known to survive), there is a version whose provenance can only be traced so far back in Jewish history, yet it is quite accurate considering it was used by a less-than-friendly readership. It is the Shem Tov's Evan Bohan version from the Fourteenth Century. The differences between the Hebrew and Greek texts are not drastic. To Yeshua, the stroll on the Galilee during the storm was perceived much differently than his students, who perceived it as dangerous, chaotic, and "contrary." In the Hebrew Matthew version, the word for contrary is neged, or opposing, opposite. Neged has a good side, too, for Adam's wife Chavah was his ezer kenegdo, or “helper opposite him,” which brings balance. When opposition is a helper, it is because in spite of the opposition, the overall purpose is to achieve unity walking in the Word. The opposite helper pulls the weight of the yoke beside the other, ensuring the burden does not get dragged in endless circles, but can go straight. For example, grace and truth are not opposed to one another. One cannot be practiced at the expense of the other. In Yeshua, they work together. Sarah wasn't such a good helper when she suggested Hagar as a solution to their problem, but she was a good helper when she advised Abraham to send away Ishmael, who had not internalized the righteousness of his father and threatened the inheritance of Isaac. The disciples did not see the waves of the storm as their ezer kenegdo, or helping opposition, but as a destructive force. They were just rowing in circles in the middle of the Galilee, taking on water. Galilee does indeed imply circles in Hebrew, like a roll or spool, and a wave is a gal, pronounced gahl (not to be confused with other gals). This is perhaps what it has in common with the “circle of the earth,” and why from Isaiah's prophecy, Galilee came to be called “Galilee of the Nations.” In Jewish tradition, Moses hid the Rock that followed them in the wilderness in the bottom of the Galilee before he died, which explains why Yeshua would have made his early home near the Galilee and begun his ministry there. The Rock was both the water in the Rock, the Rock, and the Rock in the water. It also explains how Yeshua's ministry prepared the way for the nations to hear the Gospel message from his disciples: “But there will be no more gloom for her who was in anguish; in earlier times He treated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali with contempt, but later on He shall make it glorious, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles. The people who walk in darkness will see a great light; those who live in a dark land, the light will shine on them.” (Is 9:1-2) As the region of the Galilee represented the Gentile nations in the time from Isaiah to Yeshua's ministry, so the disciples were dispersed to proclaim the Light of the Word Yeshua to the scattered of Israel as well as the Gentiles who dwelled among the raging waves of tormenting wickedness. Even as we are rescued, we are tested of the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit,

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Religions reporter Rossella Tercatin joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Nearly two years after the ancient, nearly complete Codex Sassoon bible was first introduced at the Anu Museum, days before the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack, the book of Torah is inaugurated at the museum, in the presence of released hostage Agam Berger, in a moving, bittersweet ceremony, tells Tercatin. Another ancient bible, the Shem Tov bible, this one only 700 years old, was also inaugurated permanently at the National Library of Israel, both in time for the Shavuot holiday. Tercatin also looks at the ongoing issues of conversion in Israel, following a meeting last week of the Knesset Aliyah Committee devoted to the topic of conversions on Tuesday, ahead of the Shavuot festival. Only about half of those who start the process to convert manage to complete the journey, and the Conversion Authority is currently formally without a director, leaving nobody can sign the official conversion certificates, complex matters that Tercatin discusses. Steinberg talks about an art exhibit currently at Kibbutz Ramat Yohanan, marking the 80th anniversary of the kibbutz's Shavuot ceremony, created by two pioneering kibbutz members in the 1940s to mark the agricultural and harvest aspects of the festival. Finally, Tercatin discusses the Messianic community in Israel, and its connection to Yaron Lischinsky, the Israel Embassy staffer who was killed alongside his soon-to-be-fiance, Sarah Milgrim, on May 21 in an antisemitic attack at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC.

Israel and Zionism: Could I have picked a hotter topic? Well, cool your jets, man. Sam Brody, PhD, an associate professor of religious studies at University of Kansas, is going to bring a nuanced view of Zionism, theology, politics, and the ever-in-the-news dilemma of the nation-state of Israel by exploring an early thinker on the topic who's most famous these days in bookstores for his religious work alone: Martin Buber. If there are terms you don't get as you listen, stop and look them up. It's not too deep. Then, bask in Brody's thoughts on the evolving thinking of Buber, whom he says brings an “anarchist” reading to the Bible to support his ideas about what kind of people the Jews are and what kind of place Israel could be. His book is Martin Buber's Theopolitics (what a fantastic word!), published in 2018 by Indiana University Press. Sure, the academic hardback is $90, but the ebook is only $9.99. Don't be a cheapskate. When I asked what people completely new to Buber should dig into first—how they should order their first dive into the life and ideas of this empathetic Jewish philosopher famous for his ideas on relational thinking—he recommends some books at the tail end of the podcast (before Brody's recommendations, I recommend you read a way-too-short and over-simplified snapshot about Buber here, and if you're into philosophy, head here): I and Thou, in many old and new versions all over, here in a 100th anniversary reissue Buber's Hasidic stories (here or here, all available in earlier cheaper editions, too) about the great Eastern European rabbis—and the first of them, the Ba'al Shem Tov—from the past few centuries who focused on making Judaism more attainable and emotional overly scholarly and intellectual Thinker Paul Mendes-Flohr, of blessed memory—either reading his book on Buber or watching a talk he gave about the book in synagogue “Then after that,” Brody says in our interview, “you can read my book.” After speaking to Brody, I think about the clash of politics and theology in a way, way different way. So this interview was, without exaggerating, eye-opening and mind-shifting for me. May it be for you, too!

When people take upon themselves to do extra mitzvot as a zechut for something they want, they may feel disheartened if they don't receive what they hoped for. Heaven forbid, they might even regret the extra effort they invested in performing that mitzva. We must never lose sight of the real purpose of this world. The true gain is always the mitzva itself. If a situation we are experiencing inspires us to do more mitzvot, we have already achieved the ultimate goal. If we truly understood the value of a single mitzva, we would realize that any physical gain pales in comparison. If we really grasped what this world is about, we would gladly take upon ourselves additional mitzvot just to have the zechut that Hashem grants us more opportunities to fulfill more mitzvot. The Sefer Sas B'Imratecha shares a story about two older boys who were still unmarried. They decided to travel to Tzfat to immerse in the mikveh of the Arizal and to pray at kivrei tzaddikim. They also planned to spend Shabbat there. They set out on a Friday morning, but delay after delay and unprecedented traffic left them on a bus near Teveria with only half an hour remaining before Shabbat. Fortunately, they had a friend in Teveria, so they got off the bus, hoping to locate his house and have a place to stay for Shabbat. They hailed a taxi but couldn't provide the driver with a precise address. With just ten minutes left before Shabbat, they decided to get out in a nearby neighborhood. Desperate, they approached the closest building and knocked on the first door they encountered. The ba'al habayit opened the door and saw two young men standing there with suitcases. After they quickly explained their situation, he happily invited them to stay for Shabbat. They changed and set off for shul. During the meal, they shared with their host the challenges they faced that day and how they ended up in Teveria with only minutes to spare before Shabbat. The baal habayit reassured them, saying, "It was all min haShamayim . Do you think it was a coincidence that you were dropped off near my house? Do you think it was random that you knocked on my door? Let me explain what happened today." He continued, "We were in need of a yeshua, so my wife and I traveled to Ukraine to pray at the kever of the Ba'al Shem Tov. We found ourselves there for Shabbat without any food, unsure of what to do. Then we met a group of Jews from America. They were so warm and welcoming, inviting us to join them for Shabbat. We had the most beautiful Shabbat, with an abundance of food for every meal. We thanked our hosts and praised Hashem for sending us such kind individuals to take care of us. "Before we left Ukraine, we returned to the kever of the Ba'al Shem Tov. Inspired by the incredible hachnasat orchim we experienced, we prayed for the zechut to fulfill this mitzvah ourselves. "We returned from our trip this morning. My wife was utterly exhausted, but she quickly prepared food for Shabbat so she could rest. Later in the day, our married children called to invite us to spend Shabbat with them. However, we were already asleep when they called. Instead, they cooked for us and delivered an entire Shabbat meal. Suddenly, we had double the food we needed. "Then, the doorbell rang, and you two were standing there. At that moment, everything fell into place. We prayed for the zechut of hosting guests, and Hashem not only prepared all the food but also sent the guests we longed for right to our doorstep." That Shabbat, the atmosphere was electrifying. They sang zemirot, shared divrei Torah, and experienced a truly uplifting Shabbat. One week later, a shadchan contacted one of the boys and suggested a shidduch with the daughter of the family who hosted them. A month later, they celebrated their engagement. Even if the shidduch had not happened, the story would still be incredible. The couple understood the value of a mitzvah and prayed to Hashem for the opportunity to fulfill it. Hashem orchestrated so many events to grant them that opportunity. The shidduch was a beautiful bonus. But the main purpose of this world is Torah and mitzvot, and whenever we have the zechut to perform any mitzvah, we should recognize it as our greatest gain.

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of The Chai on Life Podcast. I'm Alex Segal and today, I am speaking with Orit Esther Riter, an Emuna Energizer (I love that), a Renowned Inspirational Speaker, Author and the Practicing Founder of the First Haskamah-Approved Torah-Centric Energy Therapy Program.After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 19 years ago, ​emuna was the answer to Orit Esther's healing, growth, and building of a solid foundation with Hashem. So much so, she redirected her culinary chef career to a more meaningful path of spreading ​emuna. Orit Esther believes that every soul is beautiful and holds positive energy and light that deserves to shine​ and therefore single-handedly began an emuna ​movement worldwide​ devoted to helping others heal from trauma and pain. Her teachings are based on the work of the Holy Ba'al Shem tov and focus on practical strategies to restore emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health​.In this episode, we go deep into Orit Esther's story — staring way before her diagnosis, and how she persevered through all of the challenges along the way. We learn how she found Hashem in different ways at different points along the journey, and how relationship grew and matured as she did.The ups and downs are vast, yet the way she cultivated emuna and real healing in it is the most inspiring. It's impossible to hear this story and not feel inspired to work on your emuna and really grip it with all that you have.In a time now, in Kislev, and in the world when we're experiencing darkness, Orit Esther's story will bring you back to the light. Her story will invigorate you and remind you why we're doing all of this, what the grounding force is when you live a life with Hashem, and how and why to consistently get back to it.I'm so honored to have powerful woman on the podcast and so excited for you to hear her message.

Hello to you listening in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more for a story) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.How do we get good at turning toward the uncertain future?How do we sustain ourselves, and each other?How can we help each other, even--or especially--those with whom we don't agree, through the revolutions ahead?  I have an idea. We can share our stories. Here's one.The great Polish rabbi, Israel ben Eliezer, also known as the Ba'al Shem Tov, deeply loved his people.  Whenever they were troubled or persecuted he went to a sacred place in the forest, lit a sacred fire, and said a special prayer asking God to protect his people. It was enough and the people were saved. But in time the Ba'al Shem Tov died.  Later, his disciple, following in his master's footsteps, went into the same part of the forest and said, “Creator of the Universe, I do not know how to light the sacred fire, but I do know the special prayer; please, hear me! and help your people.” And it was enough.Generations passed and when the next Rabbi saw how his people were being persecuted, he went into the forest and said, “Oh, Lord, I don't know how to light the sacred fire, nor do I know the special prayer, but I still remember the place.  Help us! Protect the people”  And the people were protected.Decades later, a very elderly rabbi seeing his people being persecuted, spoke to God saying, “I don't know how to light the sacred fire, nor do I know the special prayer, and I can't even find the place in the forest. All I can do is tell you this story and hope that you will hear me. Please help the people!”  And again the people were spared.Story Prompt: When we find ourselves lost in the forest, do not know how to light the sacred fire, or say the special prayer, we can share our stories. What else might we do to help each other?
