Podcasts about Sisa

SPOILER-FREE no matter how crazy we sound! In celebration of Women's Month, we start this episode with Direk Jun Robles Lana's latest film, Sisa! Actually, we started with the number one movie on Netflix, War Machine, starring the hulk of a man that is Alan Ritchson but whatever. Sisa though, is it a psychological thriller? Is it a historical drama? Is it a war movie? Pag-usapan natin. After that, Ham tells us about The Bride! from writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal. Is Frankenstein alive again (as an IP)? Well, this isn't really about him, apparently. Last but not the least, we get into Pixar's latest feature that's not Avatar but very much like Avatar, Hoppers! This movie has certainly a lot of lessons to teach but is it even fun? Listen in and let's talk about it! Also in this episode, some of the stuff we're watching like Paradise and Scrubs. Let us know what you'e watching as well!Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepausephWe'd really appreciate it if you tell someone about the podcast!

In this episode, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores Parshas Ki Tisa, focusing on the profound lessons from the half-Shekel census at the beginning and the dangers of the Golden Calf sin that follows. He explains why a direct headcount is forbidden (leading to plague) and instead the half-shekel donation is counted: it preserves individuality (each person is unique and irreplaceable) while emphasizing communal unity—counting coins unites people as one collective, avoiding isolated judgment. The half-shekel symbolizes incompleteness alone; only when combined with others does one become "whole," reflecting the Jewish ideal of being part of a kehillah (congregation) rather than isolated.Rabbi Wolbe stresses the power of community: prayers in plural (e.g., "heal us," "bless us"), synagogues as Batei Knesset (places of gathering) for collective strength, and the peril of separation (e.g., avoiding one's local shul is spiritually damaging). He connects this to Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur judgment—being part of the tzibbur (public) brings mercy, as group requests are harder to deny. The episode warns against modern isolation (e.g., influencers becoming detached) and draws parallels to antisemitism: Jews must never hide identity but stand proud and united, as in Egypt where preserving names, language, and customs brought salvation. Unity makes us unbreakable—like bundled straws—while isolation invites downfall, especially when comfort leads to complacency (as with Haman or the Golden Calf)._____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & 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 March 6, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on March 8, 2026_____________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.

A nuclear bomb detonates in this week's Parsha.

Provodi se povratak hrvatskih državljana iz ratom zahvaćenog prodručja na Bliskom istoku. Velika njemačka obrambena tvrka Rheinmetal kupila jednu od najvećih hrvatski tvrtki u tom sektoru – Dok-ing. Ukrajinski investitor koji planira u Sisačko-moslavačkoj županiji izgraditi veliku tvornicu za preradu peradi, čemu se protive nevladine udruge i neke stranke, kaže da je žrtva prljave kampanje. U hrvatske škole uvode se nova pravila – zabranjena je upotreba mobitela, a niz prijestupa će se oštrije kažnjavati.

The Psychology Behind The Parsha Parshas Ki Sisa & Shushan Purim - Parah Going on the OFFENSIVE 

BH Hashem WANTS to be there for us!

What if the years you spent searching in the wrong places weren't wasted at all? This week, we unpack a powerful ancient teaching: why things that come easily disappear just as fast, and why your hardest struggles might be the very thing that makes your breakthrough real. Includes a great story that includes an encounter between a lost seeker and one of the greatest Jewish leaders of the 20th century. This one hits different.

The final instructions for the construction of the Tabernacle are conveyed at the beginning of this week's parsha. After Moshe is told to appoint Bezalel as the head overseer of this enormous project, the Torah cautions us against constructing the tabernacle on Shabbos. Although we are required to build the Tabernacle, and we are inclined […]

Tes-Vov Adar - Shushan Purim!!! (23:27)

Yud-Daled Adar - PURIM! (28:44)

The fiery half-shekel teaches that true atonement comes when the fixed discipline of obligation is fused with the passionate upward striving of the soul, revealing the equal, essential core within every Jew. Eliyahu's rebuke of “vacillating" exposes that spiritual indecision rooted in self-interest is more corrosive than open rebellion, yet even those who waver can return with redoubled strength. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Ki Sisa in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1.

This week's parsha contains several instructions related to the Tabernacle, but the majority of the parsha is dedicated to arguably the most shocking and troubling episode in the whole Torah, the Golden Calf. Forty days after the nation reached the pinnacle of human accomplishment – a national revelation at Sinai – the same nation committed what […]
