Podcasts about Yehoshua

Jews bring the korban Pesach on 14th of Nissan and begin eating the new grains of Eretz Yisrael on 16th, Malach Michael meets Yehoshua to support him in conquest of the heavily fortified city of Yericho

   In this episode, we look at one of the most puzzling stories of Bayis Shani, the story of Sukkos. The possuk seems to imply that this was the first time they kept Sukkos since Yehoshua. How do we understand this?   We also look at the basic dynamics of the times of Moshiach. How does the dynamic between Israel and the other nations change? And similarly we discuss the Ingathering of the Exiles.        This week's episode is dedicated לרפואה השלימה לשרה פעשא בת יפה אסתר by her family  Nach Yomi: Join R' Wittenstein's Nach Yomi on WhatsApp. We learn a perek a day five days a week, with a nine minute shiur covering the key issues.

This week's parashah opens with the words: ראה אנכי נתן לפניכם היום ברכה וקללה Behold, I am placing before you, blessing and curse. The Gaon of Vilna is bothered by a question: why doesn't the Torah say, " I am placing before you good and bad"? Why does it say " blessing and curse"? He explains that it is not true "good" and "bad." We see tzaddik v'ra lo, rasha v'tov lo — sometimes a righteous person experiences what looks like suffering, and sometimes a wicked person experiences what looks like goodness. Therefore, the Torah makes it clear: what is given is berachah and kelalah . Berachah does not mean that the outcome will immediately be good. It means that in the end, it will lead to good. For example, Yaakov Avinu blessed Ephraim: וידגו לרב בקרב הארץ You shall multiply like fish within the land. But they did not multiply immediately. Only later, when they entered Eretz Yisrael , the did descendants of Yosef said to Yehoshua, " Why did you give us this land? We cannot fill it!" Throughout the counts in Bamidbar , it's never mentioned that the tribe of Yosef was larger. What happened was that the berachah came down, but it was not fulfilled until much later. The Gaon says that in truth, the real reward and punishment are not in this world. As it says, schar mitzvot b'hai alma leika — this is not the world of reward; this is the world of action. What happens in this world is that we are amassing berachah . Similarly, when a person receives a blessing from a tzaddik — " you should be blessed with good children, you should be blessed with success" — what do you walk away with? Not the children or the money per say, but with the berachah . This is an important principle: sometimes we see the berachah fulfilled in this world, and sometimes not. That is why the Torah says clearly: berachah and kelalah . On Shabbat we also say: כי היא מקור הברכה For Shabbat is the source of blessing. Shabbat is the source of all blessings. A person may close his store on Shabbat, and the following week he might not see financial success. Does that mean he was not blessed? No — he did not immediately see the good , but he did receive the berachah . And that berachah might show itself later, in other ways or other forms. As we approach the end of the year, we say: תכלה שנה וקללותיה, תחל שנה וברכותיה Let the year and its curses end; let the year and its blessings begin. We focus on blessing , not on good . Of course, we would like the tovah as well, and perhaps that is why our prayers so often mention both together. For example, in Zachrenu Hashem Elokenu we ask for both זכרנו ה' אלקינו בו לטובה ופקדנו בו לברכה Remember us, Hashem our God, for good , and recall us for blessing . Every day in שים שלום we say: שים שלום, טובה וברכה Grant peace, goodness , and blessing . Interestingly it comes to livelihood, we ask for parnasah tovah . We do not usually say parnasah mevorechet . We want livelihood that is tangibly good. And in Avinu Malkenu we say: אבינו מלכנו חדש עלינו שנה טובה Our Father, our King, renew for us a good yea r. So, if we pay attention, it becomes clear: there is tovah and there is berachah . Of course, we hope for both — but sometimes, even when we don't see the tovah , we still have to believe that we have the berachah .

Elevating this world through Mitzvot is the theme of our Lessons in Tanya chapter 37. We discussed the truth of Creation is the letters from the Torah forming the Building blocks & source of energy within everytging. Our generation especailly the Baalei Teshuva has that specialist mission to elevate mamesh everything. Ty for Shirat David, Efrat hosting the pre-Musaf Drasha and TheFamilyMinyan.com aka Shtiebel

התוכן איתא בגמ' [בבא בתרא כא.] "זכור אותו איש לטוב ויהושע בן גמלא שמו, שאלמלא הוא נשתכחה תורה מישראל, שמתחלה מי שיש לו אב מלמדו תורה מי שאין לו אב לא הי' למד תורה.. התקינו שיהיו מושיבין מלמדי תינוקות בירושלים.. ועדיין מי שיש לו אב הי' מעלו ומלמדו מי שאין לו אב לא הי' עולה ולמד.. התקינו שיהיו מושיבין בכל פלך ופלך ומכניסין אותן כבן ט"ז כבן י"ז.. עד שבא יהושע בן גמלא ותיקן שיהיו מושיבין מלמדי תינוקות בכל מדינה ומדינה ובכל עיר ועיר, ומכניסין אותן כבן שש כבן שבע". והיינו, שהגם שתקנת ר' יהושע בן גמלא היתה חשובה רק לילדים מ"בן שש ובן שבע", ורק עבור אלו שלא הי' להם אב ר"ל (מיעוטא דמיעוטא דבנ"י), ומ"מ "אלמלא הוא נשתכחה תורה מישראל"! ומכאן רואים עד כמה החינוך של כמה קטנים מישראל נוגע לכלל ישראל! וההוראה: על כ"א לעשות את כל התלוי בו להקים חדרים לילדי ישראל בסביבתו ובכל עיר ועיר, ולא לסמוך על הישיבות לגיל ט"ז-י"ז, או שהאבא ילמד עם הילד וכו'‏.‏משיחת י"ב תמוז ה'תשל"ג ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=15-08-2025 Synopsis The Gemara states (Bava Basra 21a): “That man is remembered for the good, and his name is Yehoshua be Gamla. If not for him the Torah would have been forgotten from the Jewish people. Initially, whoever had a father, [his father] would teach him Torah. Whoever did not have a father would not learn Torah…they instituted  that teachers of children should be established in Yerushalayim…But still, whoever had a father, [his father] ascended with him [to Jerusalem] and had him taught, but whoever did not have a father, he did not ascend and learn. They instituted  that they should be established  in each and every region, and they brought [the students] in at  age  the age of sixteen  and at  the age  of seventeen. Until Yehoshua ben Gamla came and instituted that teachers of children should be established in each and every province and in each and every town, and they would bring them in at the age of six and at the age of seven.” Meaning, although Yehoshua ben Gamla's ordinance only applied to children from age six or seven, and only those who had no father Rachmana litzlan (a small minority of Jews), nevertheless, “If not for him the Torah would have been forgotten from the Jewish people.” Here we see how much the education of a small number of Jewish children affects the entire Jewish people. The lesson is that everyone must do everything in their power to establish chadarim for Jewish children in every city, and not to rely on the yeshivos for older students or on the assumption that the father will teach the child etc.Excerpt from sichah of 12 Tammuz 5733 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=15-08-2025 לזכות ר' שניאור זלמן בן חוה לאה וזוגתו מרת שיינא בת חנה שיחיו ליום הנישואין שלהם ביום כ"א מנחם-אבלברכה והצלחה בכל הענינים לאויוש"ט*לזכות שטערנא שרה בת חי'ה רחל שתחי' ליום ההולדת שלה כ"א מנחם-אבלשנת ברכה והצלחה רבה ומופלגה בכל בגו"ר מתוך בריאות נכונה ומנוחת הנפש והגוףנדבת בעלה ר' חיים ברוך שי' אלבסקי

What if Moshe couldn't see that the people had already grown up? In this episode, Parshat Pinchas takes center stage as Zvi Hirschfield and Aviva Lauer delve into the powerful juxtaposition of two pivotal moments in Bamidbar 27: the bold legal claim of the daughters of Tzlofchad and the appointment of Yehoshua as Moshe's successor. They explore rabbinic expansions from Avot de-Rabbi Natan, the challenge of seeing people as they are today—not as they were—and the evolving nature of Torah leadership and inheritance. Their discussion raises timely questions about authority, growth, and meeting learners where they truly are.

In the aftermath of October 7, Jews around the world experienced a surge of emotion and identity—an outpouring of Jewish adrenaline. But as the energy fades, the real question emerges: what does it actually mean to live a meaningful Jewish life?Rabbi Bernath draws from Dan Senor's "State of World Jewry" Speech and 92Y last week, A.B. Yehoshua's challenge to diaspora Jews, and the timeless answers offered by our prophets and sages—from King David to the Rebbe. He reminds us that Jewish life isn't about where you live, but how you live: with integrity, with mitzvos, with visible Jewish pride.Rooted in this week's Parshah, the sermon invites us to reclaim the mitzvos that affirm who we are in a world trying to forget us—and reminds us that the most radical act of Jewish survival is living Jewish every single day.Key Takeaways:October 8th Jews Need More than Adrenaline: Emotional response to tragedy must evolve into sustainable Jewish living—rooted in action, not just feeling.Geography Isn't Identity: Living in Israel doesn't automatically make one Jewish in practice. Living Jewishly—through mitzvot and moral clarity—does.Our Prophets Knew the Secret: King David, Isaiah, Micah, and Chavakuk each distilled Judaism to its ethical essence, but only because ritual was then a given. In exile, the inverse is true—we must rebuild our ritual identity.The Rebbe's Mitzvah Campaign Echoes the Prophets: Strategic mitzvot like tefillin, Shabbat candles, and kosher aren't just practices—they are declarations of identity.We Must Lead Jewish Lives—Loudly and Proudly: In today's world, being visibly Jewish is an act of courage and continuity.

Have you ever considered that Torah might be alive, seeking relationship with those who truly cherish it? This groundbreaking perspective transforms our understanding of what it means to "toil in Torah."At the heart of Parshas Bechukosai lies a divine promise of abundance – timely rain, bountiful crops, peace, health, and prosperity. The condition? "Im bechukosai telechu" – if you will go in My laws. But what does this really mean? Rashi's revolutionary interpretation reveals it's about being "ameilim baTorah" – toiling in Torah study. Yet why would God want us to suffer or struggle with His wisdom?The answer lies in understanding Torah as a living entity rather than a static text. As evidenced in Sefer Mishlei, where wisdom "cries out in the streets" and "raises her voice in the squares," Torah has a heartbeat, feelings, and desires. Just like any meaningful relationship, Torah seeks those who demonstrate sincere devotion and prioritization.This explains why Yehoshua earned leadership over Moshe's own son – not because of intellectual prowess, but because "he arranged the chairs and smoothed the tablecloths" in the study hall. He served Torah passionately, rising early and staying late, making it feel cherished above all else.True "ameilis baTorah" means courting Torah like a potential life partner – demonstrating that it's the most crucial relationship in your life. When we approach Torah this way – as a living presence rather than information to master – it reciprocates, "falling in love" with us and revealing its most profound wisdom.How might your relationship with Torah change if you treated it not just as a text to study but as a presence to honor, cherish, and prioritize? Start courting Torah today, and watch as it opens its heart to you, revealing treasures beyond imagination.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!Elevate your impact by becoming a TMC Emerald Donor!

In this powerful interview, we sit down with Rabbi Yehoshua Soudakoff, a trailblazing deaf rabbi, to discuss his journey, the challenges he has faced, and the impact he is making in the Jewish Deaf community worldwide. He shares his experiences growing up deaf in a hearing world, his path to becoming a rabbi, and the work he is doing to make Torah and Judaism more accessible. There are an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 Deaf and hard-of-hearing Jews in Israel and around 40,000 to 50,000 worldwide, with communities in the U.S., Europe, and Russia. Many face limited access to Jewish education, Torah learning, and religious services due to a lack of sign language resources. Organizations such as the Jewish Deaf Foundation and The Israel Deaf Community Center are working to bridge this gap and create more inclusive opportunities. This conversation is both inspiring and eye-opening, offering a glimpse into the resilience, faith, and dedication of Rabbi Soudakoff and the broader Jewish Deaf community. Watch now to hear his story and gain a deeper understanding of the unique challenges and triumphs within this often-overlooked part of the Jewish world.
