The festival of Shavuos marks the anniversary of the most momentous and consequential event in all of human history: the Sinai Revelation. A mere 50 days after the Exodus, the nation coalesced around the mountain and witnessed when no other people has had witnessed prior or since: They heard the Ten Commandments directly from the Creator Himself. In this very special and very unique podcast, we explore a fascinating question regarding one of the commandments. That question is used as a springboard analyze a very interesting and compelling citation featured in the literature. This is one of the most unique and fascinating podcasts you will ever hear. It is more enjoyable with the visuals on the slideshow. If you would like to receive them, please send me an email ([email protected]) and I will send it to you.

Questions can be unsettling. Questions can cause dissonance. Questions can be painful. But questions can also be illuminating. They can open up new portals of insight and perspective. Questions are a central part of Torah study. Much of the Talmud is written in a question and answer format. The Passover seder is marked by the questions. Questions, in Torah study, are encouraged. In this very interesting and unique podcast, we share five fascinating questions, one on each of the five books of the Torah. These questions will hopefully expand and augment our perspective of Torah and Jewish life.

TORAH 101
The Torah is effectively infinite. It is longer than the land and broader than the seas. God is infinite and unfathomable; He gave us His Torah in order for us to connect with Him. Torah is, in fact, accessible to us, but we never arrive at the end point of Torah. It’s infinite. Moreover, the deeper someone immerses themselves into the vast seas of Torah, the deeper they discover it to be. In this very special podcast, we explore some striking examples of the infinity of the Torah.

Many (most?) people believe in God. Believers accept the reality that the world, the universe, finite existence is the handiwork of an infinite God. Why do people believe? What evidence do believers have? These are some of the questions that my dear friends, Ron Kardos and Bruce Licht, sought to have answered. They conceived of an incredibly powerful and novel concept: what if people were given the opportunity to hear an elevator pitch for God? What if we asked a large collection of talented, accomplished, and famous people to share their elevator pitch for God? What resulted was a masterpiece of a book: Elevator Pitches for God. In this podcast, Ron and Bruce share their story.

The Kabbalists revealed to us that each Hebrew months is associated with one of the 12 tribes. The month of Adar, the month in which Purim occurs, corresponds to the tribe of Naftali. We know very little about Naftali. In the Torah, his role is quite limited. In this absolute masterpiece of a podcast, Rabbi Botnick triumphantly weaves an intricate web of sources and insights that demonstrate how Nafatali symbolizes the heart of the month. We learn about the Kabbalistic representation of Rachel and her sister Leah, about the wedge that Esau and his heir Amaleik try to drive between these two sisters, and about how Naftali symbolizes the ultimate redemption and reunification.

The Bible is written in Hebrew. The language that God communicates with prophets is Hebrew. Hebrew was present the very beginning of the world – Genesis happened with Hebrew. Our Sages tell us that the letters of Hebrew are pregnant with meaning and insight and depth and profound secrets. The words in Hebrew are comprised of those special letters, and the meanings of the words are intricately connected with the secrets of the letters that comprise them. Biblical Hebrew is unique. It is utterly different than any other language. In this fun and interesting podcast, we explore the wonderful world of biblical Hebrew. Fasten up and listen carefully, which was this podcast will inspire you to deepen your knowledge and understanding of biblical Hebrew.

Our nation is at war. Our brothers and sisters are in combat in Gaza, displaced from their homes in the north and the south of Israel, traumatized from the atrocities of October 7th, and of course there are 100 plus hostages still in Gaza. Our nation is experiencing pain and challenge the likes of which we have not seen for a very long time. Although we may be far away in the Diaspora, it is imperative that we not forget the plight of our brethren in Israel. We must each do what we can to help their righteous cause. And this very special podcast. I speak with my dear friend Dr. Alan Kritz. Dr. Kritz and I have had the great pleasure of studying together in an ongoing fashion for the past couple of years, and he undertook the sacred initiative to go to Israel and to lend a helping hand — to hear the stories, to see the sights, and to provide a modicum of empathy and comfort for a grieving nation. In this podcast, Dr. Kritz shares with us what he learned, what he observed, and where to go from here.

Our family was blessed with a new baby boy this past Sunday evening. With the help of the almighty, he will be joining the covenant of Abraham and receive his Bris tomorrow morning, Monday the 15th of January, in the Young Israel of Houston. In this special, celebratory podcast, I share what I said on Friday night during the Shalom Zachor that we held in our home. As is customary, we got together on the Friday night after the baby was born for an evening of festivities, food, and of course words of Torah. I spoke about the concept of the Shalom Zachor, about the nature of this custom, and share several fascinating and profound takeaways.

When our nation experiences tragedy, we gravitate back to God. That is how we process pain and suffering. The Jewish people – especially our brothers and sisters in Israel – are exhibiting this response with resplendent nobility and strength of character. During the ongoing war, the Jewish spirit is being awakened. Jewish faith is being ignited and amplified. Are these rumblings of a Messianic time? That is a question that I am ill equipped to answer, but something is definitely happening. In this episode I have the great privilege of speaking with my eldest brother Rabbi Eliezer Wolbe and his amazing wife Malky about the spiritual transformations that are afoot in Israel.. They are tremendous people, and served as very valuable mentors for me in my formative years and the stories and insights that they share are inspirational and instructive.
