Is your body's experience a threat to your soul's expression? What impact does the body's wellbeing have on the soul? Does the body have any inherent wisdom worth listening to?Today's episode is an exploration of the value of the body's experience within Judaism, why the Zohar explains the deeper meaning of Avraham and Sarah's exchange as being an instruction to "listen to everything the body tells us", how it is possible that in the future "the soul will receive its nourishment from the body" and how to approach our body's cues, resistance and wisdom within the framework of a spiritual life. Based on a talk from the Lubavitcher Rebbe said on Parshas Chayei Sarah, 24 Cheshvan, 5711, recorded in Likkutei Sichos, Volume 1. * * * * * * *To inquire about sponsorship & advertising opportunities, please email us at info@humanandholy.comTo support our work, visit humanandholy.com/sponsor.Find us on Instagram @humanandholy & subscribe to our channel to stay up to date on all our upcoming conversations ✨Human & Holy podcast is available on all podcast streaming platforms.

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

In this episode numbering 25 in the Those We Don't Speak Of series- Pharisees, Oral Law and Talmud Pt. 3 we get deep into the Pharisees and how they and their Rabbinical offspring made up the Oral Torah and wrote the Talmud which is the foundation of modern Judaism. Also in this dive we cver how the mystical occult books like the Zohar, Sefer Yetsira and Bahir are also considered Holy Writ by many rabbis. They created a new faith. One whose holy books can be manipulated into fitting whatever they wish them to be. Come along as we delve deep down the rabbit hole, far beyond the mainstream. Remember to share and check back soon for part three and while you're at it, please listen to the entire Those We Don't Speak Of series.

In this episode of the Prayer Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the profound wisdom behind Kaddish, a central prayer recited in the morning service after the korbanot (offerings) section. He outlines its five types, origins, and spiritual significance, emphasizing its role in sanctifying Hashem's name and bridging spiritual worlds. Recorded around October 2025 (post-Sukkot, aligned with Parshas Noach), the lecture connects Kaddish to daily prayers, mourning, and Torah study, highlighting its Aramaic composition and Talmudic stories.Five Types of Kaddish: Rabbi Wolbe details the variations using a handout (available via Google Drive link): (1) Chatzi Kaddish (half Kaddish)—a punctuation between prayer sections; (2) Full Kaddish (Kaddish Shalem)—post-Amidah, requesting peace; (3) Mourner's Kaddish—elevates the deceased by proclaiming Hashem's oneness; (4) Rabbi's Kaddish (Kaddish de Rabbanan)—after rabbinic study, blessing scholars (includes Siyum Kaddish for completing a tractate); (5) Burial Kaddish—graveside, unique in mentioning resurrection. Kaddish means “holy” or “sanctified,” declaring belief in Hashem's oneness and providence (Ezekiel 38:23: “V'hitgadilti v'hitkadishti”), making Hashem known globally (0:21–4:06).Purpose and Transition Role: Kaddish sanctifies Hashem's name publicly, not just for the deceased but as a moment of truth prompting reflection on life's fleeting nature. It bridges the four spiritual worlds in prayer (e.g., after offerings, before Pesukei D'Zimra), and between life and death in mourning. Recited seven times daily (three morning—Shacharis, two afternoon—Mincha, two evening—Ma'ariv, per Psalms 119:164), it evokes divine mercy and counters evil forces (klipot, per Zohar) (4:06–6:15, 20:05–21:56).Aramaic Language: Three reasons: (1) Angels don't understand Aramaic, allowing uninterrupted elevation and removal of spiritual barriers; (2) Post-First Temple sages composed it in Aramaic for accessibility during exile as it was the common language; (3) Zohar teaches reciting in a secular language elevates it, as all languages (post-Babel, Genesis 11) should glorify Hashem, countering division (7:40–14:49).Talmudic Story (Berachos 3a): Rabbi Yossi enters Jerusalem's ruins to pray; Elijah teaches: avoid ruins for danger, pray on roads, use short prayers while traveling. Elijah reveals a heavenly voice lamenting the Temple's destruction, renewed thrice daily, but softened when Jews recite Amen Yehei Shemei Rabba in Kaddish, evoking Hashem's sorrow for exiling His children. This highlights Kaddish's power to evoke divine mercy and elevate prayers (7:40–13:24).Spiritual Power: The phrase Yehei Shemei Rabba is to be recited with all our strength (28 letters, koach—strength) as it forgives sins, including idolatry, when said with full intent (e.g., screaming or focused concentration). During the Ten Days of Repentance, an extra word adjusts to maintain 28 letters (mi kol). Kaddish is a davar shebekedusha (holy matter), requiring a minyan (10 adults, per Abraham's Sodom negotiation (Genesis 18), as Hashem dwells with 10. Instituted by the Men of the Great Assembly post-Temple, it sources Ezekiel (38:23) for restoring Hashem's name. It's recited at Siyum or Torah study to sanctify Hashem publicly, not just personally (13:24–23:48).Customs and Variations: Stand during Kaddish in Ashkenaz (honoring sanctification); sit in Sephardic. Follow the congregation to avoid standing out. Rabbi Wolbe previews Pesukei D'Zimra and notes Kaddish's shofar-like power to break barriers before Rosh Hashanah (post-October 8, 2025) (28:01–29:15)._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Dr. Leonard & June GoldbergDownload the Prayer Podcast Worksheets:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iBVevW1ydyjSeyeO0iCcina7e8vix3Lt?usp=sharingThis episode (Ep. #40) of the Prayer Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Dr. Leonard & June Goldberg!

Zohar Bronfman spends most of his time in Tel Aviv, Israel these days. He has a focused academic background, specifically in philosophy and neuroscience. He was always intrigued by the question - how do we know what we know? - which led him to get a PhD in Philosophy. While doing that, he also became fascinated with he human mind and empirical decision making, which took him down the road of obtaining another PhD in AI & Neuroscience, essentially emulating brain processes. Outside of tech, he has 3 kids and a startup. He loves a good book in the philosophy or neuroscience space, and is a big fan of sports. Specifically, he loves the NBA and claims to be a Knicks fan.Zohar and his now co-founder were digging into predictive models, as an extension of their academic studies. They were curious as to why companies, though they were running predictive models, were not making accurate predictions. They soon realized that this was because the AI modeling expertise was centralized at couple of well known companies.This is the creation story of Pecan AI.SponsorsVentionCodeCrafters helps you become a better engineer by building real-world, production-grade projects.

The Mysteries of the Shekinah - The Feminine Spirit in Kabbalah In this episode, we explore the mysteries of the Shekinah — the radiant divine presence often described as the feminine aspect of God within Jewish mysticism. We'll look at how this sacred concept has evolved through the Kabbalistic tradition, its links to the Divine Feminine across different esoteric systems, and how the Shekinah's descent and return mirror the human journey of spiritual exile and reunion with the Source. Join us as we uncover the symbolism, history, and magical interpretations of the Shekinah — from the ancient Hebrew texts and the Zohar, to her influence in Western occultism and modern mystical thought.
