Podcasts about Shulchan Aruch

A five-word phrase repeats eighteen times at the climax of Sefer Shemos, and we think it is Torah's way of grabbing us by the shoulders. “Kasher Tziva Hashem Es Moshe” is written so often in Parashas Pekudei that it stops sounding like narration and starts sounding like a demand: Do you actually mean what you are doing, and can you finish what you started?We walk through why the Mishkan narrative keeps circling back to that same line through the lens of the Shulchan Aruch. One path is about depth: every mitzvah has layers, including hidden dimensions of Torah that most of us never see, yet we can still honor them through careful, faithful execution. Another path is about kavanah, the intention that turns an action from a shell into avodas Hashem. We connect it to mitzvos tzrichos kavanah, the halachic question of whether intention is required, and the simple practice of saying, even in your head, “I'm doing this because Hashem commanded.”From there, we bring it into real life: a small moment that sparked this whole rant, a story about Rav Eliyahu Lopian noticing workers stacking up mitzvos while missing the mindset, and a Chovos HaLevavos-based reminder that parnasa can be a mitzvah when it is done with awareness. We end with a bigger arc, using the Ramban on Sefer Shemos to reframe the “finish line” as Hashra'as HaShechinah, and we challenge ourselves to crave one approval more than any other: the quiet joy of a job well done.If this hit a nerve, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review with one sentence about where you want more kavanah in your day.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!------------------Check out our other Torah Podcasts and content!

Send me a text!Length: 1 hourSynopsis: This evening (3/4/26), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we took another break from our "Kabbalas Shabbos" perakim to do something Pesach related: Hallel ha'Gadol (i.e. Tehilim 136). We began by reviewing the relevant halacha in the Shulchan Aruch and the Rambam as a sort of teaser for where I hope to go with this. We then commenced our usual analysis of the perek, focusing on the translation, the pivot point, and the big picture questions. Next time, we'll move to answers and theories!

The Rebbe responds to an individual seeking to know the root of their soul, explaining that Divine wisdom did not create anything without purpose. He directs the seeker away from hidden mysteries and toward the practical study of Shulchan Aruch, emphasizing that success in both revealed and inner Torah depends on sincere toil and effort. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/006/6096

The Shulchan Aruch begins with the mandate to always be aware of Hashem and ends with the mandate to always be in a state of joy. My father taught that these are the "Two Constants" of a Jew, paralleling the daily offerings in the Temple. When we combine the focus of the mind with the joy of the heart, we translate our spiritual elevation into practical acts of kindness (Chesed), fulfilling G-d's ultimate intent for the world. https://www.torahrecordings.com/classes/by_month/007_adar2/purim_010

The Rebbe addresses concerns about Chalav Akum causing doubts in faith and the education of youth in the US. He encourages the recipient to remain steadfast in communal efforts, such as establishing a Mechitzah, reminding him not to be intimidated by those who mock, as stated in the beginning of Shulchan Aruch. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/004/6017

התוכן [המשך] מקור לדבר ע"ד התועלת להתחיל "להרעיש" אודות עניני פורים ל' יום לפני פורים – הוא משנה: "באחד באדר משמיעין (שפירושו "מכריזין") על השקלים", "כדי שיביאו ישראל את שקליהן בעונתן . . באחד בניסן". ומה שאדה"ז בשו"ע אינו מזכיר – על יסוד משנה זו – גם אודות ל' יום לפני הפורים הוא – כי החיוב ד"ל' יום לפני הרגל" אינו אלא בענינים מיוחדים (כמו בנוגע לחיוב להביא ג' קרבנות ברגלים, ו"תקנה זו לא נתבטלה אף לאחר חורבן ביהמ"ק"), אבל אא"פ לקבוע חיוב כזה בנוגע לכל ענין של יהדות! אבל כדי לתקן ולהשלים את מה שחסרו בהפעולות דימי הפורים בשנה שעברה – בודאי אין "עוולה" להשתמש ב"עצה" המיוסדת על משנה זו – להתחיל "להרעיש" אודות עניני פורים ל' יום לפנ"ז! לא אדה"ז, לא נשיא דורנו ולא יצרו הטוב יבואו אליו ב"טענות", רק ה"א-ל זר אשר בקרבך"... ועוד ענין: מדובר ע"ד לעורר יהודי להוסיף בענין של שמחה – הרי אפילו אם יתברר שאין זה בגדר מצוה ומנהג וכו' מהי ה"עוולה" שבדבר?!משיחת יום א' פ' תשא, פורים קטן ה'תשמ"ו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=11-02-2026 Synopsis (Continued). Regarding the benefit of beginning to make a tumult about Purim thirty days before Purim, there is a source for it a Mishnah: “On the first of Adar, an announcement is made regarding the shekalim” so that the people will bring their shekalim by the first of Nissan. The reason the Alter Rebbe doesn't mention anything about thirty days before Purim in his Shulchan Aruch is because the obligation of preparing thirty days before applies only to certain things (such as the obligation upon every individual to bring three korbanos on the Festivals); it would be is impossible to make it an obligation to prepare for every aspect of Yiddishkeit thirty days beforehand! However, when we see that last year we were lacking in terms of the activities related to Purim, there is certainly nothing wrong with applying this advice from the Mishna and beginning to campaign about Purim thirty days in advance. Neither the Alter Rebbe, nor the Nasi of our generation, nor one's yetzer tov, will come with any complaints; the complaints will come only from the “foreign god who is within you”… Additionally: we are talking about inspiring another Jew to increase in something joyous. So even if it turns out that it is not exactly a mitzvah or custom etc., what is the wrongdoing in that?!Excerpt from sichah of Sunday, parashas Sisa, Purim Katan 5746 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=11-02-2026

התוכן דובר לעיל אודות הזירוז בעניני הפורים ל' יום לפני החג. המענה לשואלים היכן הוא המקור לכך?! ובפרט שאדה"ז בשו"ע בריש הל' פסח כשכותב אודות תקנת חכמים לדרוש ברבים הלכות החג ל' יום לפני החג – אינו מזכיר מאומה אודות ל' יום לפני הפורים! – המציאות היא שלאחרי כל ה"שטורעם" בעניני הפורים בשנים שעברו, ואכן פעלו "עולם ומלואו" – יכלו "להרעיש" עוד יותר, אפילו לגבי השנים והדורות שלפנ"ז! ועל השאלה מהו ההכרח לזה, ומה לא טוב אם יפעלו באותה מדה כבשנה שעברה?! ובפרט שלזה צריך להנהיג דברים חדשים – להרעיש אודות הפעולות דימי הפורים ל' יום לפנ"ז...?! – כיון שמשנה שעברה ניתוספו ענינים בלתי רצויים, הרי לא רק שמותר אלא מצווים עפ"י תורה להוסיף בעניני קדושה על מנת לבטל ענינים אלו (וכמו שזה היפך התורה לא להשתמש בתרופות חדשות שלא היו בזמן אבותינו, ומה גם שבימינו ניתוספו מחלות חדשות ר"ל)! [המשך יבוא]משיחת יום א' פ' תשא, פורים קטן ה'תשמ"ו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=10-02-2026 Synopsis Some have asked: what is the source for the practice of starting to campaign about Purim thirty days before the holiday? Especially considering that in his Shulchan Aruch, where the Alter Rebbe talks about the Rabbinic requirement of publicly expounding the laws of the festival thirty days before the festival, he doesn't mention anything about doing so thirty days before Purim? But the reality is that even with all the noise made about Purim in previous years, and although it is true that a great deal was accomplished – the fact is that more could still have been done. And as for the question of why it is necessary to introduce new practices, when we could simply continue doing what we've been doing until now – the answer is that when there is a new illness in the world, chas v'shalom, you have to introduce a new cure for it. Nobody would suggest that the Torah forbids using new types of medicine (with respect to the laws of overriding Shabbos etc.) just because those medicines didn't exist in the time of our ancestors; indeed, forbidding the use of such medicine would be contrary to Torah. Similarly, since there has been an increase over the past year in undesirable things in the world, therefore, to counter that negative increase, it is not only permissible, but an obligation according to Torah, to increase in holiness.

1)      Our minhag is that on Friday night the two Challos are held together, parallel, back to back. But for the day meal, the right Challoh is lifted slightly above the left Challoh. Why the difference? [1]2)      Many sports jackets, and sweaters too, have square corners in the front, two above and two below. Do these corners present an issue re. adding Tzitzis?[2]3)      In his Sidur, the Alter Rebbe advises to round off the corner of a blanket used during the day. Why is that not followed widely?[3] 4)     Should a man put on his gartel for bentshing?[4]5)      When a child is born, what brocho does the father say?[5]6)      I woke up before dawn and washed negel vasser, said brochos etc.. When dawn happens, need I wash Netilas Yodayim again?[6]7)      What is the brocho for apple-sauce?[7]8)      In the recent discussion re. checking out of a hotel Shabbos, you mentioned that to allow movement of candlesticks, the permitted item must be more valuable that the candlesticks. Shulchan Aruch, however, implies the needto outweigh only the light.[8] 9)      One davening in Shul at his own pace, should he say the 2nd יקום פורקן and the follow-on Mishebeirach?[9]10)  Feedback on listening to chimes from a NJ place of worship:To sponsor a Shiur – to honour a special occasion -contact: dayan@lubavitchuk.com[1] כ"כ באג"ק חי"ח ע' שסא. שאלה:בתו"א ס"פ בשלח מבואר טעם אחיזת שתי החלות אב"א בשווה, מטעםאו"ח – שאין בו מעלה ומטה, ע"כ. לכאורה ליל שבת שייך לשלימות הבריאה,סדר השתלשלות, ואילו יום השבת הוא מנוחה בעצם, למעלה ממנוחה ממלאכה, עלייה למעלה.וא"כ למה ביום השבת יש להגבי' הלחם הימני קצת?י"ל:בשו"ע כתוב שע"פ קבלה יבצע בליל שבת את הלחם התחתון, אבל ביום יבצע אתהעליון, ע"כ. ויש לשער שהתחתון שייך לספירת המלכות, חקת"ק. לפי זהי"ל שגם למנהג האריז"ל שבלילה הם שווים, מקיים ענין הביצוע מן התחתון –כי אינו בוצע מן העליון. אבל ביום, שאין ההדגשה על המלכות, כי אם על עתיקא קדישא,בוצע מן העליון קצת. שו"ר בכף החיים סי' רסב סק"ד בשם מהר"ש ויטאל,שכאשר יש רק שני ככרות, "כשבצע, יגבי' העליון מעט מן התחתון". אלא שלאחילק בין ליל שבת ליומו.[2] בשוע"ר סי' י סכ"ב מורה ליר"שלהחמיר לעצמו. בסדור סתם להחמיר.[3] בשוע"ר סי' יחס"ה מורה לעגל קרן של סדין או כר של צמר. בסדור הזכיר רק מכסה. האלי' רבהמחדש שדין חיוב ציצית ביום לדעת הרמב"ם (לחייב כסות לילה ביום) היינו דוקאבמתחיל לישן ביום. ועפ"ז כתבנו (מילואים לסדור רבה"ז סימן ז) ליישב מנהגהעולם להקל בזה.[4] בפסקי תשובות סימן קפגאות ז הביא שיש שהקפידו לחגור אבנט לבהמ"ז.

This episode continues the laws of Borer as applied to filtering liquids on Shabbos. We explore when filtering wine, water, and other drinks is permitted—focusing on the key distinction between clear and cloudy liquids. If a drink is already fit to consume without filtering, straining it may be allowed, even if small particles remain. The discussion contrasts using a designated filter versus ordinary clothing, highlighting concerns of laundering (libun) and weekday-like activity. Differences between opinions, including the Rambam and the Shulchan Aruch, are clarified, along with practical cases such as fermenting wine and the broader implications for modern questions like filtering beverages. The episode concludes with guidance on making a proper shinui when required.

In this week's episode we celebrate Tu Bishvat by exploring the Shulchan Aruch and the Pri Etz Hadar, examining how a day historically framed as a legal timekeeper and distinguished only by the omission of somber prayers is now seen as a cornerstone for modern Jewish environmentalism. We discuss how the holiday's timing is rooted in the Gemara's observation of accumulated rainfall, serving as a ritualized reminder of the essential role water plays in our lives and the shifting patterns of our climate.  We examine how the Tu Bishvat seder and the practice of eating dried fruit foster a deeper connection to the land, cultivating gratitude for nature's future abundance and finding hope in the promise of growth during the year's leanest months.

If a person is going through difficulties, the natural reaction is to ask, "Why me? What did I do to deserve this?" He then feels bad about the situation and remains in that state until it goes away. However, if he reacts that way, he is losing out on a golden opportunity. The purpose of this world is to utilize every circumstance that Hashem places a person into to its fullest, and thereby gain eternal life. The Chafetz Chaim writes that the main goodness a person will receive in the future depends on how he reacts to the ways Hashem dealt with him here. If he internalizes that Hashem is always doing the absolute best for him, even though it does not appear that way, he will rise to the greatest levels, and his table in the future will be overflowing with good. The Orchot Tzaddikim writes that if a person performs a mitzvah with joy, his reward is a thousand times greater than if he were to do it as a chore. That joy will give him the merit to have success in his endeavors and to rise in levels of spirituality, to the point that Hashem will reveal secrets to him from above. The joy a person experiences while doing a mitzvah is itself a mitzvah. If a person is experiencing difficulty, he has a mitzvah to accept that Hashem is doing this for his benefit, as stated in the Shulchan Aruch. If he fulfills that mitzvah with joy, it will earn him a thousand times more reward and elevate him tremendously. The Baal Shem Tov writes that when a person is in a state of joy and happiness, he can bring about great salvations. Being depressed and complaining accomplishes nothing, whereas being accepting and joyful can give a person everything. Rabbeinu Yonah writes in Mishlei (perek gimel, pasuk yud alef) that if a person gives much charity and is exceedingly careful in the performance of all the mitzvot, yet is unsuccessful in business and has great difficulty earning parnassah, or experiences other forms of suffering despite being so good, he must strengthen himself in bitachon and accept the way Hashem is dealing with him with love. He must understand that what is happening to him is truly for the best. He says, what the person is experiencing in his life is better than all the wealth, tranquility, and success this world has to offer, because all of that passes in a fleeting moment. This world is so temporary in comparison to the next world, and one moment of pleasure there is better than all the pleasure that can ever be experienced in this world combined. A person does not know what is truly good for him; only Hashem does. Sometimes tranquility is good, and sometimes difficulty is good. Therefore, a person should never be upset with Hashem. Rabbeinu Yonah adds that this attitude is a wondrous level to reach in bitachon, and the reward for it is incomprehensible. I once read a story of a man who was diagnosed with a serious illness. He went through years of treatments, hospital visits, pain, and uncertainty. His livelihood was affected and all of his plans were dissolved, yet no one could believe the attitude he maintained throughout the experience. When people visited him, they expected frustration and anger, but instead they were met with a smile and words of emunah. One day a friend could not hold back any longer and asked him directly, "How do you keep saying Baruch Hashem? You are in so much pain, you have lost so much—don't you feel broken?" He answered, "Yes, it hurts. But pain does not mean Hashem does not love me. It means He trusts me." The doctors and nurses were in awe of his demeanor, and he made a tremendous Kiddush Hashem. Baruch Hashem, he recovered and continues to live his life with joy and emunah. The levels he reached through his acceptance during those few years are levels people often do not reach in decades when everything is going smoothly. We do not ask for difficulties, but if they ever come, we do not want to waste the opportunity. The greatest thing we can do is accept them with love and emunah.
