When Sunny Levi was a little girl, she prayed every day for her disabled brother to be healed - prayers that went "unanswered" and left her questioning God, faith, and the meaning of prayer itself. Years later, that same heartbreak became the catalyst for her spiritual awakening. Now a 7th-degree black belt, Emunah life coach, and founder of the Hitbodedut Spiritual Boot Camp, Sunny channels that early pain into purpose - teaching others how to find strength, peace, and clarity through personal prayer, faith, and self-discipline.Here website: https://www.emunahtherapy.com/sunnylevicoaching✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬► Twillory: Winter is Coming, Stay WarmPromo Code: INSPIRE20 for 20% OFF→ https://bit.ly/4eBHeKb► Touro: Your Next StepTouro's Lander College for Men / Beis Medrash L'Talmud offers a powerful balance of rigorous Torah learning and top-tier academics, guided by rebbeim and faculty who truly care about your growth.

An unbelievable heist just took place at the world-famous Louvre Museum — but beneath the headlines lies a powerful Torah lesson.

Noah's experience during the flood it was not exactly akin to a year-long cruise. There wasn't a lot of relaxing poolside with a pina colada. In fact, for an entire year, Noah and Co did not even have a proper sleep. They were consumed with work, tending to all the animals and there diverse feeding schedules. The ark itself was tumultuous, constantly turning over like boiling lentils. The quarters were cramped, the stench of the animals unbearable, and the noise ear splitting. Why was Noah subjected such a miserable year in the ark? What is the deeper meaning behind Noah's year in the ark? In this Parsha podcast, we share two perspectives that radically reshape our understanding of Noah and his time in the ark.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

In a striking parallel, this week's Torah portion mentions hamas — not once, but twice. The world, it says, was filled with hamas: crime, robbery, violence.And here we are today, thousands of years later, we are painfully reminded that Hamas has not disappeared — it floods Gaza, it haunts our world, and it lingers, unresolved, two years after October 7th.What can we learn from the events of four millennia ago, when human corruption brought the great flood? What lessons does that ancient tragedy hold for our lives today? How do we respond, not just in relief or outrage, but in building something permanent, sustainable, and just? How do we protect ourselves from the raging floodwaters?Yes, we celebrate the release of the remaining hostages — a moment of relief, a glimmer of hope. Yet the deeper challenge remains: how do we confront this Hamas that doesn't seem to go away? How do we move beyond temporary solutions, beyond quick fixes and reactive measures, to create structures of justice, peace, and moral integrity that can endure in a lasting and transformative way?This is not a question for politicians alone, nor for armies, but for each of us. Every one of us may experience a "flood" that deluges us. This may take the shape of internal anxiety or fear, or hostile and corrupt forces around us -- concerns that can overwhelm us. Every act of courage, every effort to build character, every small step toward compassion and righteousness, becomes part of the ark we build that can weather the flood.The flood can be relentless, but so too can be our resolve. It begins with us — building strength, building hope, building an ark that no flood can wash away.Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson for this timely and urgent conversation because as life has taught us, we all will face challenges that can flood our lives. The question is: will you be ready? How do we build an "ark" to insulate us from these floods?

This morning, Rabbi Bernath explored one of the most misunderstood heroes in Torah, Noach. While the Torah calls him a tzaddik, some sages question whether he was truly righteous or simply better than those around him. Why would our tradition, which praises kindness and humility, seem to downplay the one man who saved humanity?Drawing on a 1964 teaching from the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Bernath reframed the question: the Sages weren't diminishing Noach, they were elevating him. Noach wasn't perfect. He doubted. He hesitated. He stumbled. But he built an ark anyway. And that's precisely why he's the hero for the rest of us, for the ordinary, flawed people who still try to do good in a noisy, cynical world.Noach reminds us that you don't need to be Abraham or Moses to make a difference. You just need to build your ark, an island of sanity, compassion, and moral courage, right where you are.Key Takeaways:Imperfect Righteousness Is Still Righteousness. The Torah's praise of Noach is not about spiritual perfection, but about moral persistence. Doing good in a corrupt world is itself greatness.The Power of Ordinary People. Noach's story teaches that world-changing moments often come from those who don't feel extraordinary, just steady souls who keep showing up.Struggle Is Part of the Journey. Unlike “cookie-cutter” saints, real people wrestle with doubt, temptation, and fatigue. Noach's humanity is his heroism.Build Your Ark. In a world flooded with noise and confusion, our job is to create spaces of kindness, faith, and integrity, shelters of light in turbulent waters.Every Small Act Matters. Like the girl tossing starfish back into the sea, we can't save the whole world, but we can change someone's world.Sign up for "The Forgiveness Lab" HERE: theloverabbi.com/eventsSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

In this episode, we reveal a fascinating reason why cobblers also cut keys, from a Torah perspective. Along the way, we will learn tremendous inspiration from Noach and Chanoch, two people that walked with Hashem and found ways to uplift the mundane!

On today's page, Zevachim 37, the rabbis teach that Torah can be shaped by both how it's written and how it's heard. Modern brain science agrees, showing that reading silently still lights up the mind's acoustic pathways. What happens when ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience harmonize? Listen and find out.

On October 20th, 2025, Arthur Waskow – a revolutionary activist and teacher of Torah – died at the age of 92. He was an inspiration to our work at Judaism Unbound in more ways than we can articulate. Even as our organization was launched when he was already in his 80s, he found so many ways to collaborate with us and offer his unique forms of Torah to our audiences. He presented at 5 consecutive ShavuotLIVE gatherings, frequently moving attendees to tears, welcomed Judaism Unbound as a partner for many of his programs with The Shalom Center, and was twice a guest on this podcast.For those who would feel moved to hear from Arthur's voice shortly after his passing, we wanted to re-release those two appearances of his on Judaism Unbound. The first is Episode 166, entitled The Freedom Seder, and the second is a bonus episode called Confronting Carbon Pharaohs.Well into his 90s, Arthur Waskow was committed in mind, spirit, and body to the betterment of our world. He reminded us, over and over, that the word Adamah – meaning earth or soil – and the word Adam – meaning earthling, are intertwined, meaning all of us as earthlings are inherently connected to the planet, earth, that we live on. May his memory be for a blessing and a revolution. ----------------------------------Donations in honor of Arthur Waskow's life and legacy can be directed to The Shalom Center -- an organization he founded -- via this link.

We started this week's Parsha Podcast by talking about the Tower of Babel episode. We gleaned from that story something absolutely transformational and deep. We then proceeded to talk about the unusual contribution that Noah gave to the people of his generation. In that second segment, we also derived something very profound. Deeper. The podcast ended with a third segment related to the sin that doomed the generation and to the precise dimensions of the Ark. The deepest of them all.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

We approach the flood as a metaphor for spiritual and material challenges. The solution is to enter the "Teiva" (ark/words of Torah). This inner work is the essential preparation for re-engaging with the world and fulfilling one's duty to help the spiritual welfare of all interconnected Jewish souls. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Noach in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1.

Recorded live on Sunday, October 19, 2025, this powerful live Land of Israel Fellowship zoom explores the weekly Torah portion of Genesis (Bereishit) through the lens of today's unfolding events in Israel. As the Israeli hostages return home, we reflect on the themes of creation, faith, resilience, and divine light that run from the beginning of Genesis to the heart of the Jewish people today. Join Ari Abramowitz, Jeremy Gimpel and Tehila Gimpel as they drawconnections between the Biblical story of Genesis and the spiritual awakening happening across Israel. It's a story of light emerging from darkness, of faith tested and renewed, and of the unbreakable spirit of Am Yisrael. Study Torah. Stand with Israel. Strengthen your faith. Join the Land of Israel Fellowship — a global online community connecting hearts to the Land and the Word of God.

This month’s learning is dedicated in memory of Rabbi Dr. Raymond Harari z”l, on the occasion of his first yahrzeit. Rabbi Harari was my first Gemara teacher and the one who sparked my love for learning Gemara. Over the course of his distinguished career as an educator, as principal of the Yeshiva of Flatbush, and as community rabbi, he inspired thousands of students with his wisdom, warmth, and unwavering commitment to Torah. As his wife Vicky beautifully expressed, Rabbi Harari embodied six core values that he cultivated with deep intentionality throughout his life: hard work, gratitude, forgiveness, patience, focusing on families and our priorities, and the inclusion of women in halakhic Judaism. Yehi zichro baruch. The Mishna presents a dispute between Rabbi Yehuda and the rabbis regarding a thought during the slaughtering of a sacrifice to leave the blood or the parts designated for burning until the next day. Rabbi Yehuda rules that such a thought disqualifies the offering, while the rabbis disagree, arguing that the thought does not pertain to “consumption,” and therefore does not invalidate the sacrifice. The Mishna further clarifies that only specific types of improper intent disqualify a sacrifice: namely, intent involving “outside of time,” “outside of location,” or “not for the sake of the correct sacrifice” and the latter only in the cases of sin offerings and the Paschal offering. It then enumerates several examples of thoughts that do not disqualify the offering, such as intending that an impure or uncircumcised person will eat the meat, or that the blood will be placed on the wrong altar or in the wrong location on the altar. Rabbi Yehuda’s position is initially derived from the verse in Vayikra (Leviticus) 7:15, which states “lo yaniach” - “do not leave it” - referring to meat left beyond its designated time. However, the Gemara ultimately rejects this derivation, noting that it cannot be applied to thoughts of “outside of location.” Additionally, a braita clarifies that Rabbi Yehuda’s reasoning is based on logical inference: if physically leaving the blood beyond its designated time or place disqualifies the sacrifice, then merely intending to do so should also disqualify it. Rabbi Yehuda does not extend his logic to the other cases listed in the Mishna, such as consumption by an impure or uncircumcised person, because even if these acts were actually carried out, the sacrifice itself would not be invalidated. The Gemara analyzes each of the cases mentioned in the Mishna and explains why none of them would disqualify the offering. Rabbi Abba explains that although Rabbi Yehuda disqualifies a sacrifice when there is intent to leave the blood until the next day, if a pigul thought is later introduced, such as intending that the meat be eaten after its designated time, the sacrifice becomes pigul, despite the earlier disqualifying thought. Rava attempts to support Rabbi Abba’s statement, but his proof is ultimately rejected. Rav Huna raises a challenge to Rabbi Abba’s position, which remains unresolved. Rav Chisda presents two statements, both of which Rava attempts to prove, though each proof is refuted. The first states that if one intends for impure individuals to eat the sacrifice on the following day, the offering becomes pigul and is punishable by karet, even though impure individuals are already prohibited from eating it. The second concerns a Paschal offering that was not roasted, or a thanksgiving offering brought without its accompanying loaves. Although the meat of these offerings is forbidden to be eaten in such cases, if an impure person consumes them, it is still punishable by karet. Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel disagree regarding the minimum number of blood applications required on the altar for a sin offering. Both agree that for all sacrifices offered on the outer altar, except for the sin offering, if only one blood application is performed, the sacrifice is still valid. However, they differ on the sin offering itself: Beit Shammai maintains that at least two applications are required, while Beit Hillel holds that one suffices. In a case where only one application is required, if the first application is performed properly and a pigul thought (i.e., intent to eat the meat after its designated time) occurs during the second application, the sacrifice is not disqualified. However, if the first application is performed with a pigul thought and the second is done properly, the sacrifice is rendered pigul and is punishable by karet, since the disqualifying thought occurred during the essential act that permits the meat to be eaten. In contrast, for sacrifices offered on the inner altar, all blood applications are essential. Therefore, if a disqualifying thought, such as intending to eat or burn the meat beyond its designated time, occurs during only part of the applications, the sacrifice is disqualified. However, it is not considered pigul and is not punishable by karet, because pigul status only applies when the improper intent accompanies the entire act that permits the consumption of the meat.

There are times when a person may feel that he is being treated, quote-unquote, "unfairly" by Hashem. He tries so hard to do good, but it seems like everything keeps getting thrown back in his face. The natural inclination in those moments is to want to turn away, to give up. But if he does, he will lose out on the greatest possible gain. When Hashem puts a person through these kinds of challenges, they are golden opportunities—doorways that can bring him to unimaginable heights. If instead of turning away, a person continues to serve Hashem with even more love and more passion, he earns merits beyond comprehension. Avraham Avinu spent his life teaching the world about Hashem. His deepest longing was to have a child who would take over that mission and continue spreading Hashem's light. But for decades, it seemed impossible. Avraham and Sarah could not have children. One night, Hashem lifted Avraham above the stars and told him: " הבט נא השמימה וספור הכוכבים… כה יהיה זרעך " ( בראשית ט״ו:ה ). Chazal explain that Hashem was showing him that the Jewish people are above the mazalot—beyond the dictates of nature. Even if something appears impossible, Hashem can change it in an instant. Hashem then promised Avraham that he would indeed have a child who would carry on his mission. Avraham waited patiently, nearly thirty years, for that promise to be fulfilled. Finally, he and Sarah were blessed with Yitzchak. They poured their lives into raising him, nurturing him to become the great tzaddik he was destined to be. And then one day, Hashem issued a command that defied all logic: " קח נא את בנך את יחידך אשר אהבת את יצחק והעלהו שם לעולה " ( בראשית כ״ב:ב )-to bring Yitzchak as a sacrifice. From a human perspective, Avraham could have cried out: "This was my life's mission! This was the child I was promised! Now it's all being taken away?" That would have been understandable. But Avraham took a different path. He rose very early the next morning, eager to fulfill Hashem's will. He even saddled his own donkey—though he had countless servants—because he wanted to show his zealous love for Hashem. He went with passion, not despair. And that single act created merits that still protect us thousands of years later. When the Jewish people were in the desert, Balak and Balaam plotted to destroy them. The Chatam Sofer says this was one of the most dangerous moments in our history. Balaam tried to use the power of zealousness to sway Hashem. He, too, arose early and saddled his donkey to curse the Jewish people. But Hashem replied: "You wicked man, My beloved Avraham has already preceded you! He rose early and saddled his donkey to serve Me out of love. In his merit, you will never harm his children." Avraham had no idea at the time how much he was accomplishing. By serving Hashem with joy even in the face of what seemed like betrayal, he laid down eternal protection for his descendants. We see this pattern again with Yosef HaTzaddik. He was living a holy life, learning Torah every day with his father, Yaakov. Suddenly, his life was turned upside down. He was sold into slavery, torn from his family, and thrust into the moral depravity of Egypt. And then, when he was at his lowest, Yosef faced one of the most difficult challenges in history—the test of Potiphar's wife. He could have said: "This is my reward for living so purely? Why should I keep trying?" But instead, Yosef resisted with all his might. Centuries later, when the Jewish people stood trapped at the Yam Suf with the Egyptians pursuing them, it was Yosef's bones that were carried to the water. In his merit of running away from sin, the sea split. Yosef had no idea that his private moment of self-control, when faced with so many difficulties, would one day save millions of lives. This is what is at stake when we feel tested, when life seems unfair. We cannot imagine what our Emunah and perseverance will bring. If instead of complaining or questioning, we rise to the challenge and serve Hashem with more love, we are not only helping ourselves—we are bringing blessing to our children, grandchildren, and all of Klal Yisrael.

In the Season 5 premiere, Rabbi Josh Feigelson kicks off a new miniseries on family—how it shapes who we are and how we can engage with it more mindfully. Drawing on Torah stories from Genesis and insights from family-systems pioneer Salvador Minuchin, Josh explores how family is both something we inherit and something we create.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: Post Holidays What should be the focus of our work during these last days of Tishrei? What is the meaning of the V'Yaakov holach l'darko announcement after the Tishrei holidays? Why is this next month called MarCheshvan, mar meaning “bitter”? Can mar be interpreted as “master”? What are your thoughts on the over-consumption of alcohol on Simchas Torah in our communities? Why should drinking be allowed at all? What is the meaning of the Chassidic aphorism that “the way you establish yourself on Shabbos Bereishis is how your year will go”? Why does the Torah begin with the letter beis and not alef? If it's because beis is the acronym for blessing (brocha), then why does the Hebrew alphabet and the Ten Commandments begin with an alef? What is the meaning of Tohu in the second verse of this week's parsha? What is its connection to Kabbalistic concept of Tohu? Did Tohu have free choice to prevent the containers from shattering? What is the meaning of man being created in the Divine image? Were Adam and Eve commanded to follow any laws besides not eating from the Tree of Knowledge? Did they have access to the Torah? Were they considered Jewish? If Adam and Eve had not eaten from the tree of knowledge, would Moshiach have come right away? If so, how would all the divine sparks have been elevated, and what have we achieved over the last 5786 years? Was the Garden of Eden a physical place on Earth? Where is its location? Did Cain ever repent for killing Abel? Why did the Chabad Gabbai wear a shtreimel when he “sold” the mitzvos on Shabbos Bereishis? Why don't Chabad chassidim wear shtreimels?” How should we react to the recent release of the hostages and the peace proposal advanced by President Trump?Bereishis Hostages Freed 

Upon careful reading, the Gentiles in Rome already knew the Torah before Paul addressed them. As Allan Aguirre explains, for Christians today to use the book of Romans to justify an anti-Torah stance is a complete misunderstanding of what Paul’s letter is all about.

What does the biblical description of the world's creation have to teach us about our role in the world's future? In a time of rapid technological change, our place in co-creating the development of reality has never felt more pressing. Through an exploration of the converge of science and Torah and the deep lessons within our origin story in the book of Bereshit, we explore how we are each being called to co-create reality, what role divine acts have to play in awakening our interconnectedness, the importance of individuality in spiritual expression, and the renewed opportunities available to us within our world's continuous creation.Charlotte Broukhim is a Jewish mom from Los Angeles who explores the intersections of Jewish mysticism, science, and politics.

Recorded during the High Holy Days, after catching up on sensitivity, innocence, hard surfaces, insect bites, and fasting, Cori attempts to school Nina in who is and is not “really Jewish,” obnoxious as only a fresh convert can be. So we get into a long-winded discussion about faith, culture, foundational literature, the Torah, contradictions, G*d's face vs backside, the Ramayana, and more. Finally we circle back to Genspect's 2025 conference and how tired Nina is of manipulating people through empathy. Was Nina's father a Jew? Are atheists really shallow? Why is Cori suddenly trying to be “Good”? And to whom is he referring when he mentions animal control and getting arrested? That's at least one mystery that won't be revealed in this vaguecast.Links:Greta Thunburg forced to sit on hard surfaces: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/04/greta-thunberg-israel-gaza-swedenBook of Job: https://www.amazon.com/Job-Translation-Edward-L-Greenstein/dp/0300162340Many Ramayanas: https://www.jstor.org/stable/jj.5973087Dennis Praeger debate clip: https://x.com/WyattCatarina/status/1974632909777838560Cori's pinned tweet: https://x.com/heterodorx/status/1947895012253175984On the subject of the Ramayana, here's Nina's feature film based on it: https://sitasingstheblues.com/watch.html…and her second film about Exodus and the Torah: https://sedermasochism.com/download/ Get full access to Heterodorx Podcast at heterodorx.substack.com/subscribe

In this heartfelt and eye-opening conversation, veteran shadchan Adina Reich traces the evolution of the shidduch system — from handwritten index cards to WhatsApp chats — and reflects on the hopes, heartbreak, and faith that define it.

A deadly attack struck the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on Yom Kippur, leaving two dead and the Jewish community in terror. This act of religious violence, perpetrated by a planned cell of terrorists, highlights the failure of faith to protect its adherents, forcing them to rely on armed security rather than divine intervention. Hosts explore the bitter irony of communities seeking safety in conflict zones like Israel and criticize the deep historical roots of religious hatred, noting how ancient mythological conflicts—including narratives of genocide in the Torah—continue to fuel modern, global sectarian warfare. The segment concludes that without religion, these perpetual conflicts would cease, underscoring the dangers of mixing religious beliefs with governance.News Source:Manchester Jewish community reeling after deadly attackBy Ivana Kotosova for CNNOctober 3rd, 2025

Frequently you might hear someone claim that a particular Jewish melody is "mi-Sinai" (literally: "from Mount Sinai," implying "dating back to when Moses received the 10 commandments at Mount Sinai")? Mark Kligman, an ethnomusicologist who directs The Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience, joins Dan and Lex to explore what this term illustrates. In doing so, they explore why "Jewish music" is such a challenging word to define -- along with what Jewish music does for people's lives. This episode is the third in an ongoing mini-series of Judaism Unbound episodes mobilizing Jewish music -- past, present, and future -- as a launching point into conversations about contemporary Jewish life and experience.Head to JudaismUnbound.com/classes to check out our up upcoming courses in the UnYeshiva, beginning in mid-late October.

Study Guide Ulla said in the name of Reish Lakish that even if an impure person inserts only a small part of their body into the Azara (Temple courtyard), it is forbidden. Rav Hoshaya challenges this ruling based on a case involving a leper who experienced a seminal emission on the eve of Passover. Despite his impurity, he is permitted to proceed with the purification process, which requires partial entry into the Azara. Ulla resolves this difficulty. A braita is brought in support of Ulla’s statement, discussing the smicha (laying of hands) on the guilt offering of a leper, which is performed outside the Azara. The implication is that if partial entry were permitted, the leper could simply insert his hands into the Azara to perform the smicha. Rav Yosef rejects this support, and there are two distinct versions of how he rejects this. A difficulty is raised against the content of the braita: if the guilt offering requires smicha by Torah law, and if smicha must be performed immediately prior to slaughtering, then it should be permitted to perform the smicha inside the Azara. Rav Ada bar Matna resolves this challenge, though there are differing accounts of how he does so. Ravina and Ravin each offer alternative resolutions to the difficulty with Ulla’s statement. Ravina maintains that partial entry into the Azara is prohibited only by a penalty of lashes, without the more severe punishment of karet. Ravin, on the other hand, argues that Ulla’s citation of Reish Lakish was inaccurate. According to Ravin, Reish Lakish was referring to lashes incurred by one who touches sacrificial items (kodashim), not one who enters the Azara. This leads to a broader debate between Reish Lakish and Rabbi Yochanan regarding the interpretation of the verse “do not touch kodesh.” Reish Lakish understands it as referring to sacrificial items, while Rabbi Yochanan interprets it as referring to teruma. A question arises: how can Reish Lakish derive both the prohibition to touch and the prohibition to eat sacrificial items from the same verse, as he does in a separate debate with Rabbi Yochanan? The Gemara addresses this and explains how both prohibitions can be learned from the same textual source.

Israelis hold their celebrations as Hamas hesitates to return all 28 hostage bodies to Israel (as agreed in the peace deal). They say due to Gaza devastation, bodies may be hard to find. Hostages begin to share details of their time in captivity. Starved and kept underground — some had no contact or light for 2 years. Plus!

After 738 days, the precious hostages were finally released — but could there be a deeper message hidden in that number? In this video, we explore a Torah verse with the exact gematria of 738, revealing a powerful call to seek truth (Emes) and reject falsehood. This isn't about coincidence. It's about seeing Hashgachah Pratis — Divine guidance — in the numbers, the Torah, and the times we're living in.
