Parshas Tazria & Metzora (Rebroadcast)

Podcasts – Torah Podcasts by Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe ·

2026/04/12

A very large percentage of Torah is dedicated to the laws of purity and impurity. This week’s double Parshas of Tazria and Metzora largely deal with these laws. One variant of impurity that is discussed in both parshas is that of a metzora, A metzora is someone who is stricken with the tangible illness of tzaraas […]

Tetzaveh – On His Majesty’s Service

Podcasts – Torah Podcasts by Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe ·

2026/02/26

Performing service in the Tabernacle was the domain of the cherished few only. Only Aaron, his four sons, and their subsequent children were eligible. Why couldn’t everyone serve as a priest? That’s a question for modern egalitarian sensibilities, and it’s truthfully one that we are averse to asking. After all, this was the question that […]

Tetzaveh – The Golden Bovine (5784)

Podcasts – Torah Podcasts by Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe ·

2026/02/24

This week’s Parsha is dedicated to the priestly class: It begins with the oil that the High Priest kindles; it describes in great detail the special vestments that the priests wore; and it proceeds in outlining the process of inauguration of the priests. In this special edition of the Parsha Podcast we go deep and […]

Mishpatim – Two Halves of One Soul

Podcasts – Torah Podcasts by Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe ·

2026/02/12

At the risk of being presumptuous, I can safely say that most members of the Parsha podcast community have never owned any slaves. I imagine that most of us never even had a servant. We certainly never employed a Jewish bondsman for six years. The law that opens our Parsha doesn’t seem to be very […]

#103: Fifth Order of Mishnah (Sacrifices)

Podcasts – Torah Podcasts by Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe ·

2026/02/09

Unfortunately, none of us have ever witnessed or participated in a sacrifice. Ever since the Temple was destroyed more than 1,950 years ago, our nation has been bereft of a central component of our religious life. Our nation, and truly the whole world, can only be in an optimal state when the presence of God […]

#102: Fourth Order of Mishnah (Damages)

Podcasts – Torah Podcasts by Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe ·

2026/02/04

Human interactions can often times get messy. There are myriads of circumstances that require courts and judgements. The Fourth Order of Mishnah contains the books of law and judgement and, surprisingly, the authoritative work on ethics: Chapters of the Fathers (Pirkei Avos). This podcast will help you gain a brief overview on the Books of […]

Parshas Yisro (Rebroadcast)

Podcasts – Torah Podcasts by Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe ·

2026/02/01

The most significant event in all of human history is the Revelation at Sinai, which occurs in Parshas Yisro. Prior to that monumental experience and the conveyance of the Ten Commandments, Moshe’s father in law, Jethro, arrived at the camp and makes an important suggestion for improving the efficiency of the judicial process. – – […]

Beshalach – Horse and Rider

Podcasts – Torah Podcasts by Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe ·

2026/01/29

The nation emerged from Egypt triumphantly. Pharaoh was talking a big game. “Who is God that I should listen to him? I’m not going to release the Israelites!” But he was humbled before God one plague at a time. With the death of the firstborn at the stroke of midnight, Pharaoh buckled. He begged, he […]

Parshas Vaeira (Rebroadcast)

Podcasts – Torah Podcasts by Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe ·

2026/01/11

Our Parsha begins in the middle of the dialogue between Moses and God. Moses’ initial foray into saving the nation has gone horribly awry. Instead of alleviating the pain of the Jewish nation; his intervention exacerbated it, and he returned to the Almighty asking for an explanation. In His response, God tells Moses that he […]

Shemos – Mission Implausible

Podcasts – Torah Podcasts by Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe ·

2026/01/08

The mission that Moshe was entrusted with in this week’s Parsha was very clear: Go to Egypt and extract the nation of Israelite slaves. The difficulty in the mission was not due to the lack of clarity. The instructions were abundantly clear. The mission, though, was highly implausible. Moshe had been out of Egypt for […]

The Secret of the Chanukah Menorah

Podcasts – Torah Podcasts by Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe ·

2025/12/14

The Chanukah story is quite dramatic. The world-dominating Greeks were militarily defeated by a prickly pack of Maccabees. Our sages point the focus of the festival to the miracle of the oil when the priests rededicated the temple and cleansed it from all the Greek defilements. They found only a solitary flask of oil. This […]

Joseph’s Unconventional (and Counterintuitive) Path

Podcasts – Torah Podcasts by Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe ·

2025/12/08

The saga of Joseph dominates the end of Genesis. Joseph is Jacob’s favorite son, but is hated by his brothers. They don’t view Joseph as someone worthy of keeping around, so they conspire to kill him and ultimately settle for selling him as a slave. In the end, Joseph achieves greatness that surpasses that of […]
