Welcome to the latest installment of the Thinking Talmudist Podcast, where we continue our exploration of the advent of Messiah, emphasizing the pivotal role of repentance and good deeds in hastening his arrival. Our conversation shifts to the profound impact of recent events in Israel, which have ignited a spiritual awakening among many Jews. Join us as we discuss the symbolic significance of the mitzvah of Tzitzit, a religious commandment that is inspiring an increasing number of people to reconnect with their faith.This episode also tackles the fascinating debate among the Tanaic Sages regarding redemption through repentance, referencing the views of prominent figures like Rav and Shmuel. Engage with us as we highlight the ways in which we can individually contribute to bringing the Messiah closer by improving our character and performing mitzvahs with sincere intention. We also analyze prophetic verses from Isaiah 49, correlating them with current instances of anti-Semitism and Jewish subjugation, and explore how these prophecies predict the coming of Messiah in times of adversity. We end on a powerful note, reminding our listeners of their capacity to make a positive impact and foster deeper connections with Hashem.*****The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way. Many claim that they cannot learn Talmud because it is in ancient Aramaic or the concepts are too difficult. Well, no more excuses. In this podcast you will experience the refreshing and eye-opening teachings while gaining an amazing appreciation for the divine wisdom of the Torah and the depths of the Talmud.This episode of the Thinking Talmudist Podcast (Ep. 38) is dedicated in honor of our dear friend, Marshall & Doreen Lerner who is always a source of great insight and joy in our Talmud Classes!To listen to other podcasts by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe: https://linktr.ee/ariwol Jewish Inspiration Podcast: https://inspiration.transistor.fm/episodes Parsha Review Podcast: https://parsha.transistor.fm/episodes Living Jewishly Podcast: https://jewishly.transistor.fm/episodes Thinking Talmudist Podcast: https://talmud.transistor.fm/episodes Unboxing Judaism Podcast: https://unboxing.transistor.fm/episodes Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe Podcast Collection: https://collection.transistor.fm/episodes Please send your questions, comments and even your stories to awolbe@torchweb.orgPlease visit www.torchweb.org to see a full listing of our Jewish outreach and educational resources available in the Greater Houston area and please consider sponsoring a podcast by making a donation to help support our global outreach at https://www.torchweb.org/donate. Thank you!For a full listing of podcasts available by TORCH at https://www.TORCHpodcasts.comRecorded in the TORCH Centre - Studio B to a live audience on November 17, 2023, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on November 30, 2023 ★ Support this podcast ★

Jacob and Esau last saw each other 34 years prior. 34 years ago, Jacob, upon the explicit and prophetically inspired instruction of his mother, usurped the blessings reserved for Esau. Esau was piping mad, and sought vengeance. He wanted to kill his own brother. Jacob fled. After spending 14 years in the academy and 20 years in the house of Laban, the reunion was set. Our parsha dedicates significant real estate to detailing what happened. In this special Parsha Podcast, we go a bit deeper behind the story and discover a deeper way to view the entire interaction and exchange. This podcast will enrich your life, and hopefully also entertain you.Credits: This clever podcast title was suggested by my dear friend, Matt David– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –This Parsha Podcast is dedicated in loving memory and leilui nishmas Gershon Ben Charles, the father of our dear friend Adam Chuckrow, may his Soul be elevated in Heaven.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –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.

What does it truly mean to be 'chosen'? This question forms the crux of our latest episode. We delve into the honor and responsibility that accompany being part of the Jewish people. Our exploration takes us back to the pivotal moment when the Jews accepted the Torah without question, a choice that has engendered complex reactions from others. We attempt to unravel why, despite the widespread prejudice against Jews, there is a compelling desire among non-Jews to convert.The journey doesn't stop there. We move on to the power and significance of the Torah in a Jew's life. As we explore, we hope to quell any fears or apprehensions you may have and reassure you that our divine connection bestows upon us the confidence and security we need. We wrap up the episode with a heartfelt blessing for success, hoping that our discussion leaves you with a deeper understanding of your faith. We hope this episode inspires you to embrace your Jewish identity with pride and understanding.This episode (#251) of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe is dedicated in Honor of Dan Kullman and our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!****To listen to other podcasts by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe: https://linktr.ee/ariwol Jewish Inspiration Podcast: https://inspiration.transistor.fm/episodes Parsha Review Podcast: https://parsha.transistor.fm/episodes Living Jewishly Podcast: https://jewishly.transistor.fm/episodes Thinking Talmudist Podcast: https://talmud.transistor.fm/episodes Unboxing Judaism Podcast: https://unboxing.transistor.fm/episodes Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe Podcast Collection: https://collection.transistor.fm/episodes Please send your questions, comments and even your stories to awolbe@torchweb.orgPlease visit www.torchweb.org to see a full listing of our Jewish outreach and educational resources available in the Greater Houston area and please consider sponsoring a podcast by making a donation to help support our global outreach at https://www.torchweb.org/donate. Thank you!For a full listing of podcasts available by TORCH at https://www.TORCHpodcasts.comRecorded in the TORCH Centre - Studio B to a live audience on November 28, 2023, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on November 30, 2023 ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Unlock the power of resilience and character development in your life as we navigate through this week's Parsha, Parshas Vayishlach, featuring the tales of Yaakov's encounters with Esav and the Angel. You'll gain invaluable insight into the supernatural struggle between our good and bad inclinations, epitomized by Yaakov's wrestling match with the Angel. We'll reveal the importance of standing strong in the face of challenges, continuously striving towards self-improvement and becoming the best version of ourselves.Then, we'll dive into the compelling story of Dina's abduction, the brothers' cunning retaliation, and Yaakov's stern reprimand, reminding us to forsake trickery and aim for greatness. We'll also delve into a heartwarming conversation with my grandmother about the concept of "Gadlut-Ha-adam," the greatness of mankind, and how her pre-holocaust life in Lithuania shaped her views on human greatness. Taking a leaf from the book "Good to Great," we'll discuss the criticality of maximizing our potential, overstepping the bounds of mediocrity, and reaching for exceptional heights. So, are you ready to transform from being good to becoming great? Let's begin.This episode (Ep 6.8) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Vayishlach is dedicated in Honor of Dr. Zev & Susan Munk & our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharing ****To listen to other podcasts by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe: https://linktr.ee/ariwol Jewish Inspiration Podcast: https://inspiration.transistor.fm/episodes Parsha Review Podcast: https://parsha.transistor.fm/episodes Living Jewishly Podcast: https://jewishly.transistor.fm/episodes Thinking Talmudist Podcast: https://talmud.transistor.fm/episodes Unboxing Judaism Podcast: https://unboxing.transistor.fm/episodes Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe Podcast Collection: https://collection.transistor.fm/episodes Please send your questions, comments and even your stories to awolbe@torchweb.orgPlease visit www.torchweb.org to see a full listing of our Jewish outreach and educational resources available in the Greater Houston area and please consider sponsoring a podcast by making a donation to help support our global outreach at https://www.torchweb.org/donate. Thank you!For a full listing of podcasts available by TORCH at https://www.TORCHpodcasts.comRecorded in the TORCH Centre - Studio B to a live audience on November 28, 2023, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on November 29, 2023 ★ Support this podcast ★

In an age of corporate cannabis, who keeps authentic weed culture alive? In a time of abundant strains and concentrates, whose tastes define hashish connoisseurship.  Wooks, that's who! Named for the Wookies in the Star Wars universe—Chewbacca being the most well known example —and found primarily hanging around outside concerts and festivals, wooks are noble, gentle creatures dedicated to living in the moment, getting lit and following their bliss. So we seshed with real-life cannabis couple (and self-described wooks) Cass Greener and Sean Dunne—the filmmaking team behind the new documentary film Wooks—about the central role that wookies have played in shaping and spreading cannabis culture throughout the live music scene.

Parshas Vayishlach is an action-packed parsha. After a tension-filled 20 years with Laban, Jacob has to dodge bullets for another parsha. Esau wants to kill him. The angel tries to strike at him the entire night. His daughter Dina is kidnapped and raped, and his sons slaughter the perpetrating city in rage. The bulk of the parsha indeed recounts the travails of Jacob and his family, but the final section deals with his twin, Esau. The last 43 verses of our Parsha detail and enumerate the vast families, tribes, and dynasties of Esau. In this special edition of the Parsha Podcast we focus on an interesting pattern found in the chronicles of Esau that reveal his central flaw that led him down a dark path. What we discover is an insight that will help us transform our lives.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –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.

Kidneys serve many vital functions. Their primary function is to filter the blood from any toxins or contaminants. Thankfully, the Almighty sends (most of) us to this world with two working kidneys. We have a bit of nephrological redundancy. People who suffer from kidney failure, God forbid, are greatly imperiled. In this podcast, I welcome Rabbi Moshe Gewirtz, the Director of Renewal (renewal.org), an organization that matches altruistic kidney donors with patience who need a kidney transplant, and facilitates every aspect of the transplants.

Jacob undergoes a meteoric transformation in our Parsha. At the onset, Jacob is a 77-year-old penniless bachelor fleeing from his brother Esau's wrath. When the Pasha concludes, Jacob is at the helm of a veritable empire. He has 12 children with his four wives, is enormously wealthy, and is heading back to encounter Esau's rage. How did Jacob manage to accomplish such a magnificent transformation?

The Jewish people are at war. Our brethren in Israel are in midst of a fierce war in Gaza against the terrorist organization Hamas. The objectives of the campaign are the complete elimination of Hamas leadership and infrastructure, and the safe return of the more than 200 hostages captured by the terrorists on the brutal attacks of October 7th, 2023. Ever since the war began, one soldier was rescued, four hostages were returned, and two hostages were found dead in Gaza. As of the time of this recording, Israel and Hamas were on the cusp of finalizing a hostage exchange deal. In this sprawling episode of the Jewish History Podcast, we explore the history and the laws governing hostage rescues and ransoms. What is the Jewish way? How have our antecedents addressed this tragic and unfortunate circumstance? What value do we place on the rescue and ransom of hostages? What are some of the political, military, and security considerations of prisoner swaps? As we pray for the success of our troops and the hostage efforts in Gaza, we look back at the fascinating and often tragic story of hostages in our history. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –This Jewish History Podcast is dedicated by Eddie & Lottie Setton in honor of their children Ralph & Michael who are studying in Israel and their love of Jewish History.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –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.

Jacob's accomplishments in our Parsha are remarkable. At the onset of our parsha, Jacob is a 77 year old bachelor without a penny to his name. Having been robbed clean of all his possessions, Jacob undertook the grandest, most ambitious initiative in human history: the founding of the Jewish nation. In our parsha, he pulls it off. By the time the parsha concludes, Jacob has spent more than two decades in the  home of Laban, his father-in-law, and has begat 12 children with 4 wives, amassed a great fortune, and began to travel back to Canaan. How did he pull this off?

In this Special Thanksgiving Episode, I remind listeners about the key statistics that are part of the reason why I work with women entrepreneurs – namely, that women approach wealth with a mind to give back, make change, and better the world. And my guests are good examples of just that. At the end of each episode, each guest is invited to share some information about a cause and organization that is near and dear to their heart in the area of economic justice, and we replay their responses as part of this episode. Have a wonderful, safe Thanksgiving, and I look forward to connecting with you.Organizations mentioned in this episode:Michelle Calcagni - YWCA Chicago - www.ywcachicago.org Michelle Calcagni - Pass the Torch for Women - passthetorchforwomen.orgStaci Hauschild - Planned Parenthood - https://www.plannedparenthood.org/Christy Cook - Bandar and Bhaaloo - https://bandarandbhaaloo.org/Shosanna French - Black Girl Ventures - https://www.blackgirlventures.org/Kylie Hodges - The Tiyya Foundation! - https://www.tiyya.org/Patty Block - Girls Inc. - https://girlsinc.org/Cathy Sikorski - Nancy's House - https://nancys-house.org/Laura Posey - Safe Harbor - https://safeharborshelter.com/Jaclyn Mellone - The Loveland Foundation - https://thelovelandfoundation.org/loveland-therapy-fund/Mary Ann Pruitt - Women Deliver - https://womendeliver.orgErica Holthausen - FRESH New London - https://freshnewlondon.org Rochelle Moulton - Hero Women Rising - https://www.herowomenrising.org/Connect with Erin to learn how to use intellectual property to increase your income and impact. hourlytoexit.com/podcast.Erin's LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erinaustin/Think Beyond IP YouTube Page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVztXnDYnZ83oIb-EGX9IGA/videosMusic credit: Yes She Can by Tiny MusicA Team Dklutr production

My father and my mother - Avi and Faige Wolbe - both joined me in the TORCH Centre to discuss how to address the ongoing Gaza war with our children, how to inform but not frighten children when talking about tragedies and atrocities such as the Holocaust, how to think about the proper balance of insularity and exposure to a variety of potentially harmful things, and how to guide and direct our children to achieve their best.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –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.
