Podcasts about Torah

Torah is not supposed to be a detached, academic study. The Almighty gave us a Torah as the authoritative guide for living the most elevated and rich life possible. The Creator of all of created existence endowed humanity with with the guidance for how to live a most meaningful and uplifting life. The First Gate […]

Avraham and Sarah as body and soul; "listen to Sarah" means refining the body, the ultimate purpose. Eliezer's miraculous journey teaches us about the nature of redemption from exile. The double telling of Eliezer's journey highlights marriage's sanctity when founded on Torah and mitzvos. What Avraham used his circumcision for an oath. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Lech Lecha in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1.

This week's Land of Israel Fellowship dives deep into the Torah portion of Vayera, revealing timeless truths that speak directly to the challenges facing Israel and the world today. Jeremy Gimpel explores how the story of Avraham holds a prophetic mirror to our own times, a world struggling with moral confusion, faith, and truth. Ari Abramowitz shares what it truly means to stand with Israel not just in words or politics, but through moral courage, clarity, and unwavering faith in God's promises. As darkness and division spread across the nations, this powerful live session reminds us that the call of Abraham is still alive, to walk in faith, to defend truth, and to bring light from the Land of Israel to the world. Tune in for spiritual insight, inspiration, and real-time connection between biblical prophecy and current events in Israel.

These classes teach the day's section of the weekly Torah portion. The lesson is taught using the original Hebrew text with the indispensable commentary of Rashi—both translated and elucidated so that anyone can follow along.

The Second Story and the Third Heaven This week I'd like to visit the architecture of resurrection. Yes, such a thing is possible! Scripture gives us several examples from literal buildings. Last week's newsletter gave a hint with the resurrection patterns in the homes of the women who extended hospitality to Elijah and Elisha. There are even more examples than that.   Just to review, the last several newsletters have investigated the Torah's ancient call to hospitality, not just a a nice thing to do, but as a vital preparation to inherit the Kingdom. Our hospitality study trail through the Torah, Prophets, Writings, and New Covenant started with Song of Songs 5:1, a restoration of the Bride and Bridegroom to the Garden of Eden:   • "I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh along with my balsam.I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey; I have drunk my wine and my milk. Eat, friends; drink and imbibe deeply, O lovers.”   Elijah in 1 Kings 17:9 protected the widow and her son during the famine. Because she used the last of her flour and oil to feed the prophet of YHVH, she never lacked during the tribulation. She also hospitably gave him an upper room in which to dwell during the famine. In return, her son was resurrected from the dead in that upper room. Because she ministered to the man of God during an apocalyptic famine, she received multiplied miracles of nourishment and resurrection.    And in Elisha's “double portion” fashion, he performs two resurrections for the hospitality of the upper room. First, the barren Shunnemite woman is rewarded with a son, and then later the son is resurrected from the dead:   • "Now there came a day when Elisha passed over to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman, and she persuaded him to eat food. And so it was, as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat food. She said to her husband, “Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God passing by us continually. Please, let us make a little walled upper chamber and let us set a bed for him there, and a table and a chair and a lampstand; and it shall be, when he comes to us, that he can turn in there.” (2 Ki 4:8-10)   The Shunemmite furnished her upper room with the furniture of the Mishkan. She made a little House for the Presence to dwell over the daily activities of her lower rooms. Elisha, a righteous visitor, was the stand-in for the very resurrecting Presence of Adonai.   The upper room is the highest room of our home, a set apart place, yet attached to the rest of the home. What we furnish in the upper room blesses the rest of the home...or not. It can be where heaven meets earth...or not. When the Shunnemite woman constructed an upper room, imagine it as a third story built atop their own living quarters in the second story. Not a brand-new building, but one atop the existing one.   Although now more symbolic because its examples are drawn from building construction in ancient times, today we still have upper rooms, those spaces we make to host the righteous believers who will accept our invitations. The visitor becomes the presence of Yeshua in our homes, especially during Shabbat.   During the Iron Age (1000–586 BCE; the First Temple Period), the "four-room house" dominated Israelite architecture. The four-room house with pillars was widespread already, but it often had more or less than four rooms. The majority of houses only had three rooms, but could also five or more. The house had long rooms and a transverse broad room in the back, which could be partitioned by walls or columns.   The ground level housed valuable livestock and had a working area for storage, weaving, food preparation, or other working tasks. The second level had the living quarters. A rooftop had an area for drying certain products, such as flax or fruits, and it was used as sleeping quarters in the intense heat of the summer for the cool breeze.  

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. Beginning this teaching in John 15:5, Rabbi Steve Berkson explains what Messiah Yeshua meant when He was exhorting His disciples to “stay in Me and He in them,” and how that statement could also be understood as, “if you are in covenant with Me.” Without the Spirit of Messiah (His intrinsic nature) in us, it is impossible to be in covenant with Him and His Father. • What is Covenantal Fruit? Moving on, Rabbi Berkson expands on a crucial point for developing a correct mindset when dealing with those around us, centered on the phrase “he is broken off and thrown away.” This leads him into passages in Matthew 13 and Romans 11 that were not in his notes. • What is the role for the Kingdom that surpasses all of our ‘pay grades'? • Is your being considered a “darnel” or a “tare” predestined? • Do you hold preconceptions about what leadership should look or sound like? What's the danger in that? Rabbi Berkson does a “reset” of a ‘faith idea' most of us have been taught throughout our lives, specifically the notion of “ask whatever you wish and it shall be done for you.” What is the terrible word that precedes the Messiah's statement about ‘asking'? Toward the end of the teaching, what started as a side note turned into an inspiring life-coaching moment as Rabbi Berkson discussed being unequally yoked, then shifted focus to those who are single and looking for a mate. A must-watch! Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages to give you a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.

Rashi's commentary is an indispensable part of a person's daily studies. His explanation of Chumash, the first five books of the Torah, clarifies the "simple" meaning of the text so that a bright child of five could understand it. At the same time, it is the crucial foundation of some of the most profound legal analysis and mystical discourses that came after it.

The Mishneh Torah was the Rambam's (Rabbi Moses ben Maimon) magnum opus, a work spanning hundreds of chapters and describing all of the laws mentioned in the Torah. To this day it is the only work that details all of Jewish observance, including those laws which are only applicable when the Holy Temple is in place. Participating in one of the annual study cycles of these laws (3 chapters/day, 1 chapter/day, or Sefer Hamitzvot) is a way we can play a small but essential part in rebuilding the final Temple.

התוכן כמה הוראות ממ"ש בשני דפ' חיי שרה: 1) "ויקם שדה עפרון" וכמ"ש בפרש"י "תקומה היתה לו שיצא מיד הדיוט ליד מלך": כאשר יהודי לוקח דבר גשמי לרשותו ועושה ממנו תשמישי קדושה וכיו"ב פועל בו "תקומה", שיוצא מגדר "מילי דהדיוטא" ונעשה דבר של קדושה השייך לרשותו של ה', מלך העולם. 2) "ואברהם זקן בא בימים" וכמ"ש בזהר שכל ימיו היו מלאים בעניני תומ"צ: שלא יישאר אפי' רגע א' מהיום שאינו מנוצל לעניני תומ"צ. 3) "ואברהם זקן": וההוראה ע"פ מ"ש "זקן ‏–‏ זה שקנה חכמה", שדבר חכמה שלומד צ"ל קנינו ‏–‏ "דם ובשר כבשרו". 4) שליחות אליעזר בקשר לשידוכי יצחק ורבקה, שבזה מתבטא ענין הכללי שבכל המצוות ‏–‏ יחוד מ"ה וב"ן, נשמה וגוף, כוונת ומעשה המצוות.משיחת אור ליום ב' פ' חיי שרה, כ"ף מרחשון ה'תשמ"ו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=10-11-2025 Synopsis Some lessons from sheini of Chayei Sarah: (1) On the verse, “Ephron's field was confirmed,” Rashi states, “It had a rise, because it passed from the hands of an ordinary person to the hands of a king”: When a Jew takes a physical object into his possession and uses it for holy purposes, such as items used for a mitzvah, this causes it to “rise,” meaning to leave the category of the mundane and to become something holy under the domain of Hashem, the King of the universe. (2) On the verse, “Avraham was old, advanced in days,” the Zohar states that all his days were filled with Torah and mitzvos. The lesson is that not a single moment of the day should be left unused for Torah and mitzvos. (3) “Avraham was old”: The Sages teach that “An ‘elder' is one who has acquired wisdom”; the wisdom one learns must become his own acquisition, “blood and flesh like his flesh.” (4) Eliezer's mission of making the shidduch between Yitzchok and Rivkah represents the general theme underlying all mitzvos: the union of Ma”h and Ba”n, of soul and body, of the intent of the mitzvah and the act of the mitzvah.Excerpt from sichah of Sunday night, parashas Chayei Sarah, 20 MarCheshvan 5746 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=10-11-2025

Study Guide Today's daf is sponsored by Judy and Jerel Shapiro for the marriage today of their son Oren Shapiro to Fay Gamliel of Toronto. "Mazal tov and may they build a Bayit Ne'eman b'Yisrael, and a bayit filled with love and peace!" Today's daf is sponsored by Beth Kissileff in loving memory of the 11 precious souls killed on the 18 of Cheshvan at Dor Hadash, New Light and Tree of Life in Pittsburgh. Joyce Fienberg, Dr Richard Gottfried, Rose Mallinger, Dr. Jerry Rabinowitz, Cecil Rosenthal, David Rosenthal, Bernice Simon, Sylvan Simon, Daniel Stein, Melvin Wax, and Irving Younger. And in honor of the Daf Yomi Pittsburgh group under the leadership of Rabbi Amy Bardack and Eric Lidji. What is the size of the Temple courtyard, the Azara? These boundaries are important for three laws that are specifically done in the azara only - kohanim eat kodshai kodashim, slaughtering kodshim kalim takes place there, and one is punished by karet for entering while impure. Rav Nachman's father specified the boundaries. There was an assumption that he was trying to exclude a particular space by demarcating the exact size. They explain that he must have been excluding the chambers that open into the Azara but are partially outside the Azara boundaries. A difficulty is raised from a Mishna that designates them as sanctified. But it is resolved by explaining that the Mishna was referring to a rabbinic definition, but by Torah law, they are not considered the Azara. Two other sources seem to contradict this explanation, but are resolved.   Rav Avudimi explained the source that the blood is disqualified if not brought on the altar before sunset of the day of the slaughtering. Rabbi Yochanan and Chizkiya disagree about the status of the meat of a peace offering on the night after the second day, both for laws of pigul and notar. Comparisons are made between the meat of the sacrifices that can be eaten for one day and those that can be eaten for two days – explaining the source of the differences between the two regarding the night of the second day. A firstborn, maaser and Pesach are kodshai kalim and have similar laws. However, certain issues surrounding eating them are different – who can eat them, how the meat is prepared, and for how long they can be eaten.

In this episode of the Everyday Judaism Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues his exploration of the laws of salting (kashering) meat and poultry to remove prohibited blood, covering Halachot 15–28 from Siman 36. He details specific preparations for various animal parts, including the head (cut and salted inside/outside), bones with marrow, legs (hooves trimmed), heart and lungs (cut open), liver (requires roasting over fire after cutting and rinsing, not just salting), spleen (membrane removed), intestines, stomach (milk drained), and eggs found inside birds (salted separately and considered meat). Additional rules address meat left unsalted for 72 hours and singeing birds post-feather removal. Rabbi Wolbe shares a personal story of witnessing a heart harvest during a medevac flight, reflecting on the miracle of the human body and daily gratitude to God.

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part look at parsha "Vayera," Genesis chapters 18 through 22) and the central part of the story of the first Patriarch, Abraham, from his storied 'dickering' with YHVH Himself concerning the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, to the 'binding of Isaac,' known as 'the Akieda,' that prefigures another parallel act on that very same spot, many centuries later. It is perhaps THE "Biblical-level" Act of Faith.

To this day it is the only work that details all of Jewish observance, including those laws which are only applicable when the Holy Temple is in place. Participating in one of the annual study cycles of these laws (3 chapters/day, 1 chapter/day, or Sefer Hamitzvot) is a way we can play a small but essential part in rebuilding the final Temple.

Rashi's commentary is an indispensable part of a person's daily studies. His explanation of Chumash, the first five books of the Torah, clarifies the "simple" meaning of the text so that a bright child of five could understand it. At the same time, it is the crucial foundation of some of the most profound legal analysis and mystical discourses that came after it.

And King David said, “Oh how I love your Law! It is my meditation all the day” (Ps 119). — How can that be?​​​​​​ GET A COMPREHENSIVE foundation in the Torah—the part of the Bible many Christians are least familiar with, yet which forms the basis for all Scriptural revelation.​ The Torah is an interpretive key that unlocks the rest of the Bible.

Although not completely here today and gone tomorrow, the conspiracy theories and science fiction being sold online about 3I Atlas are; on October 31 the comet reached its perihelion position near the sun and, of course, none of the outrageous claims about aliens turned out to be true. On the other hand, the comet changed its color, brightness and speed on its solar journey, all things considered very odd. Some said blue then it was green, then it had a tail then it didn't. But what is odd, especially for interstellar objects that have only been studied for about eight years now. Odd doesn't mean alien invasion; it means unusual. We should obviously keep an open mind to different theories but those about 3I-aliens were inspired by a misunderstanding of Avi Loeb's Harvard paper which stated: “By far the most likely outcome will be that 3I/ATLAS is a completely natural interstellar object, probably a comet, and the authors await the astronomical data to support this likely origin.” With the success of 3I Atlas garbage, clickbait news have added to their catalogues of nonsense, now claiming certain space objects like 2025-PN7 may be from an “ancient civilization,” i.e., the Soviet Union.From the size of 3I Atlas to its nickel composition, to its non-gravitational acceleration, and including its inbound direction from the general area from whence the Wow Signal originated, it is not irrational to consider the possibility of a Bracewell probe or something similar, but alien invasion is more than a stretch. Some were even claiming that the object was broadcasting the Fibonacci Signal and a coded message that read “Observe. Prepare. Understand. The Gate Awaits.”On August 15, 2002, a crop circle showing a gray alien head with a binary spiral disk appeared near Crabwood Farm House, Hampshire, UK—about 4 miles from the Chilbolton Radio Observatory. The disk's ASCII code decoded to: "Beware the bearers of FALSE gifts & their BROKEN PROMISES. Much PAIN but still time. BELIEVE. There is GOOD out there. We Oppose DECEPTION. Conduit CLOSING." Sound similar?How much of this is real as opposed to imagined, or manmade instead of the opposite, is always debatable and clickable. Considering how much lying and theft there is in the UFO community nothing can be taken seriously. This applies to the early years of Ufology and its newest manifestation as a Congressional investigation. How much is motivated by fantasy, delusion, or genuine experiences that are not explainable, is one thing, but how much is motivated by religion is another. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna told Joe Rogan in August 2025 that she's seen evidence of “interdimensional beings” and that there are reports of their “movements outside of time and space.” She went on to refer to the Bible, Christ, and Book of Enoch, essentially addressing ancient astronaut theory. Avi Loeb had likewise posited that 3I/ATLAS may herald the arrival of “a messianic era,” that the messiah may come “from another star.” This has sparked a conspiracy that Loeb, former IDF, was trying to use the comet to push for a NWO in favor of the intelligence community. Both Loeb and Anna are Jewish, which is important to consider because the entire idea of ancient aliens, or paleo-astronautics, was first introduced by Matest M. Agrest who was born into a family of Torah scholars.The idea here is that regardless of what 3I Atlas really is, which is probably rocks, metals, and gas, any celestial event can be, and always has been, molded to the benefits and beliefs of powers and people. Without clear and accepted answers we will continue dealing with a blank slate by which we can project our imagination and beliefs. One man's alien is another man's god, and another man's demon. It is also becoming more likely that we are going to find intelligent life first through machines instead of deep space, making AI possibly more ancient than artificial.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

News and commentary, including a warning based on continued election fraud, from host Mark Call, for the week ending 8 November, 2025.

Rashi's commentary is an indispensable part of a person's daily studies. His explanation of Chumash, the first five books of the Torah, clarifies the "simple" meaning of the text so that a bright child of five could understand it. At the same time, it is the crucial foundation of some of the most profound legal analysis and mystical discourses that came after it.

“Did Moses write the Torah?” This episode dives into the authorship of the first five books of the Bible, while also addressing diverse topics such as the morality of self-flagellation among saints, the Catholic understanding of the Greek term Logizomai in Romans 4:5, and the implications of consuming a host that has miraculously transformed. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:16 – Did Moses write the first five books of the bible? 14:10 – Is self-flagellation self harm? And were saints who did it committing a sin? 24:22 – Regarding the Greek term Logizomai in Romans 4:5. What’s the Catholic understanding of it? 35:56 – Is it wrong to consume a host that has miraculously been turned into actual flesh? 45:20 – I responded to the protestants’ objection to joining Catholicism due to scandal by saying: there will always be bad actors when humans are involved and Jesus founded the Church so Satan will target it. Is this a good response?
