The Ethics Podcast - With Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe ·

Double-Edged Swords (6.8)

The Ethics Podcast - With Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe ·

2024/09/16

Not everything that we covet in life necessarily redounds to our benefit. There are great many things that are double-edge swords: they can be used for good; they can accelerate our ascent to righteousness, and they can be absolutely destructive and lead us towards a death spiral of decadence. Proceed with caution. – – – […]

The Ethics Podcast - With Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe ·

The thing that we crave more than anything else is life. We all want life. We all flee from curtailing of – or danger to – our life. How do we indeed get life? In this wonderful Mishnah we learn how Torah bestows life – both here and in the afterlife – upon those who […]

Studying with Intentionality (6.6.44-45)

The Ethics Podcast - With Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe ·

2024/08/12

What are our intentions when we study? What are we trying to achieve?

Active Listening (6.6.43)

The Ethics Podcast - With Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe ·

2024/08/05

Listening is a lost art. To truly listen and consider the other person’s position is becoming increasingly rarer. We get consumed with our own ideas and perspectives; someone else’s opposing position will not be granted true consideration. But listening – and listening actively and attentively – is critical if we are desirous of learning and […]

Questions are arguably the most potent tool by which to open up a complex subject.

What is our relationship with our studies? For some (many?) studying Torah is very important. It is a great priority. But is it the permanent fixture of a person’s life?

Everyone is going through something. Everyone has difficulties in life. That is the human condition. It is also all by design.

Aversion to Honor (6.6.35)

2024/05/27

Honor is a funny thing. It yields no tangible, discernible, sensory benefit to the recipient, yet it is so highly coveted and desired. We all want respect. We all want others to look up to us and to admire us. Our standing in the eyes of others matters greatly to us. In way to wisdom […]

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.
