Released as Podcast on June 8, 2021 on the Shema Podcast by Dan Kullman (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-shema-podcast-for-the-perplexed/id1498489422).

In this episode, Dan Kullman and Rabbi Aryeh and Yitzi Wolbe discuss the unique qualities of a Tzadik (A Righteous Torah Scholar).
 Fulfilling the Torah is Simple but not Easy. 

In summary, Torah is telling us the following:

1. Our purpose in this world is to pursue ultimate pleasure.
2. The ultimate pleasure we are pursuing is closeness to Hashem.
3. The way we ascend closer to Hashem is through aligning our thoughts, words, and actions with Him.
4. The way we learn how to align ourselves with Him is through His Torah.
5. His ways are ways of giving.
6. While we all have unique challenges, tailored to our unique curriculum for growth, they all have something in common and that is our Yetzer Hara is continually trying to convince us that the source of pleasure is taking, not giving.

In this episode Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe and his 7-year-old son, Yitzi, join Dan with hope to inspire by sharing stories of Tzadikim who have excelled in this lofty and simple, but not easy task.

In this episode, Dan Kullman and Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe discuss the unique qualities of a Tzadik (A Righteous Torah Scholar). The secular world is so pre-occupied with making their heroes people who are talented musicians, actors, athletes, or businesspeople, but whose private life lacks much to be admired.  As Jews we have Tzadik’s (or Tzadikim) to look up to and admire and strive to emulate.   These are people that have truly optimized themselves to become angles in this world.  In this episode Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Executive Director of TORCH and host of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, joins us to share some mind blowing and inspiring stories of these Tzadik’s that will open your mind to your true potential.

Episode 43 - This episode discusses the trait of Knowing Hashem (Emunah) which some mistakenly call faith or belief. The Torah instructs us to KNOW G-D, not to have faith or belief in Him. But how do we attain that level of clarity and knowledge?!
