Parsha: Acharei Mos - Fleshy Onesie
The first verse of our Parsha revisits a tragic event from the past. The Torah tells us that after the death of Aaron's sons Nadav and Avihu, Moshe was instructed to command Aaron about the prohibition against entering the Holy of Holies unauthorized. What is the significance of the tragic demise of Aaron's two sons to the the instruction governing when and how Aaron may enter the Holy of Holies? This question is addressed by the commentators, and in this very special edition of the Parsha Podcast, we go deep and deeper in pondering the subject and it's vast and powerful consequences. We return to the glorious studios in the TORCH Centre following the Pesach break with a special one.

Parsha: Acharei Mos - A Consequential Life (5782)
The verse in our Parsha makes a big promise: if you adhere to the Mitzvos and statutes and laws of the Torah you will be granted life. Life is what we all so deeply covet. Torah and Mitzvos are the ways to get it. But it doesn't seem to bear out in the real world. There seems to be no life expectancy differentiation between those who adhere to the Torah's laws and those who neglect them. How do we reconcile this replication crisis? In this edition of the Parsha Podcast we share three answers to this question, including one that will reverberate within you and change your life.

Parshas Acharei (Rebroadcast)
The three chapters of our parsha cover three general categories. First we read about the Yom Kippur sacrifices and procedures; then we learn about the prohibitions against consumption of blood among other ritualistic and sacrificial laws; and the final chapter is oriented around the many prohibited sexual relationships.

Parsha: Metzora - Barbarians at the Gate
The Metzora (one stricken with tzaraas) is unwelcome in polite society. Even impolite society doesn't want anything to do with him. They must leave the camp. They must be alone, in seclusion, in isolation outside of the camp. They may not have close interaction with others. Others don't even want to have any interaction with them. They are afflicted with an illness no one wants to contract. A Metzora is an outcast, a pariah, ostracized from society. In this very special and topical Parsha podcast, we explore a very interesting and counterintuitive Idea. When we delineate the various people who are known to have been stricken with this disease, we observe among them one very unusual and unexpected person. Our sages tell us that Messiah is a Metzora. What does that mean? What is the significance of that? Herein we suggest some mind-bending ideas.

Parsha: Metzora - 21st Century Prophecy (5782)
How involved is God in the day-to-day lives of humanity? What is the nature of divine communication to humanity? The central subject of our Parsha offers a fascinating window into this question. In antiquity - when our people were very close to the Almighty and very elevated spiritually - every sin would register as a splotch transgressor's skin, garments, or house. That served as a form of divine communication. God was signaling to the transgressor that their sin has caused a rift between them and God. Do we still have that form of communication today? In this sprawling episode we dig into this question and discover something topical and fascinating.

Ethics: Loving Straightness (6.6.33)
Straightness is a virtue. Straightness means to be proper and upstanding in all of your conduct. It means doing what's proper and just and good. It also references thinking. Straight, sensible, logical, clear, cogent thinking is better than crooked thinking. Way number 33 to wisdom is about this virtue.

Over the last several years I have been learning Torah and all aspects of Jewish life through Rabbi Wolbe’s podcasts. He is clear, concise and intuitive. I wish his podcasts were available when I was in Hebrew school many years ago. He has taught me more about who we are, how we were made as a people and what it really means to be Jewish in a few years than any amount of Jewish education available when I was growing up. Thanks Rabbi for what you do and hope you continue to teach more Jews around the world.
Thank you so much Rabbi
Thank you so much for this podcast Rabbi Wolbe - you are a great man and bring a light to those of us who are far away and on the go. Can’t begin to express how important this is to me- your delivery and your message are exceptional! May gods blessing be with you, your family, Torch and the community as a whole!
