    Ep. 58 - The Laws of Charity - Part 3 (Siman 34)
    Sep 14 2025
    In this episode of the Everyday Judaism Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe delves into the laws of charity (tzedakah) from Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 34, emphasizing the priority of supporting one's family, such as older children or impoverished parents, before others, and extending this to relatives, locals, and those in distant cities. He highlights the importance of giving with a joyful countenance and empathy, warning that a sour attitude nullifies the mitzvah's merit, even for large sums, and encourages comforting the poor as one would family. Rabbi Wolbe stresses anonymous giving to preserve dignity, the highest form being preventive aid like loans or partnerships to foster self-sufficiency, and supporting Torah scholars honorably, noting that influencing others to give yields greater rewards than giving alone.Rabbi Wolbe advises recipients to avoid charity if possible, preferring even menial work to maintain independence, citing Talmudic examples of scholars in humble trades. He condemns deceitfully taking charity but praises those who endure hardship to avoid burdening others, promising divine reward. The episode underscores charity as a muscle to strengthen through joyful, habitual giving, concluding with a call to view it as a privilege that aligns one with God’s kindness, fostering community upliftment and personal growth.To have your questions featured on the Ask Away series, please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #58) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

    Sep 7 2025
    Unlock the spiritual and communal power of charity within Judaism as Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe guides us through the teachings of the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch. Discover the profound obligation each of us carries to give within our means, regardless of financial status, and how this act of giving can be a catalyst for both personal and spiritual growth. With insights from the Gaon of Vilna, we explore the distinction between tithes and personal charity, affirming that every act of giving holds equal value in the eyes of the Divine, whether it comes from abundance or modest means.Navigate the complexities of charitable giving with a heartfelt discussion on the guidelines rooted in Jewish tradition. Learn how to support individuals based on their previous lifestyles and the importance of maintaining dignity for both giver and receiver. Rabbi Wolbe highlights the thoughtful balance between personal financial stability and the aspiration to give generously, stressing that charity is not just an act of kindness but a profound commitment to communal harmony and peace. Our conversation also emphasizes the essential role of supporting both Jewish and non-Jewish individuals in need.Witness the transformative power of dignified charitable initiatives within the Jewish community. Rabbi Wolbe shares stories of organizations like Tomche Shabbat and a unique clothing charity in Brooklyn, both of which prioritize preserving the dignity and self-esteem of recipients. By offering gift cards instead of food boxes and creating store-like environments for clothing selection, these initiatives empower those in need, allowing them to maintain their dignity. We close with a reflection on the spiritual connection between giving and Hashem, celebrating the divine blessing of being able to give the finest in the spirit of true generosity.To have your questions featured on the Ask Away series, please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #56) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

    Ep. 53 - Ask Away! #13 [The Q&A Series]
    Sep 5 2025
    In this episode of the Ask Away series on the Everyday Judaism Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe addresses a variety of listener questions about Jewish practices and beliefs at the Torch Center in Houston. He clarifies that one does not need to stand when a covered Torah scroll is at rest on the bimah, but standing is required during its transportation, such as when it’s removed from the ark or carried, with varying opinions on standing during its reading or blessings. On writing in sacred texts, Rabbi Wolbe explains that notes can be taken to aid Torah study if done respectfully, avoiding excessive markings that diminish a book’s sanctity, and encourages maintaining a notebook for learning, as historical sages did. He addresses the disposal of holy texts in a genizah, a designated burial for worn-out sacred items, contrasting past preservation efforts with modern abundance due to printing and digital resources. Finally, Rabbi Wolbe attributes the root of antisemitism to a historical jealousy of the Jewish people’s unique relationship with God and the Torah, exacerbated when Jews fail to uphold their responsibilities, urging greater commitment to Jewish values to mitigate such tensions.In this episode of Ask Away we address these questions and topics:Sitting while the Torah is out of the Ark, when it’s covered and uncovered, or regarding the person holding the Torah during the Haftorah reading?Is it permissible to write notes in a book like the Book of Judges during a Torah study class? Does it matter if notes are written in pen or pencil?Is it okay to own a Torah book you haven’t yet learned from but intend to study?How does the concept of genizah (storing or burying sacred texts) align with the practice of preserving or burying holy texts?Is it permissible to delete digital files containing Hashem’s name, such as on a phone?What is the root of antisemitism, especially given current global issues?Does the rule of placing books from greatest to least importance apply only when they are laid on a table, not on a bookshelf?And much more ...

    Ep. 56 - The Laws of Charity - Part 1 (Siman 34)
    Aug 31 2025
    Join us as we explore the significance of charity within Judaism, guided by Chapter 34 of the concise code of Jewish law. We examine the scriptural foundations of the mitzvah of giving, focusing on the dual commandment to care for the Jewish community and the broader world. Listen in as we discuss the ethical considerations of giving, especially when authenticity is uncertain, and share practical tips like offering food instead of money to those in need. We also reflect on the historical and spiritual ties to Abraham's legacy, emphasizing the role of compassion in Jewish charitable practice.In our discussion, we uncover the unique and inspiring world of gemachs—community-based lending services that exemplify the Jewish ethos of support and sharing. From baby bris outfits to wedding gowns, these creative initiatives demonstrate the strength and empathy within Jewish communities. A heartfelt personal story highlights the profound impact of such organizations in times of need, while we ponder the potential for expanding these models beyond the Jewish community. The idea of a national website connecting people to these invaluable resources is contemplated, aiming to broaden access to community care.We further explore the concepts of tithing and charity, distinguishing their roots and significance within Jewish tradition. The principle of giving a tithe, or 10% of one's earnings, is discussed alongside the importance of aligning generosity with divine intentions. Stories of immense fundraising efforts and the logistics of supporting large communities highlight the power of collective giving. As we share insights and anecdotes, we emphasize the moral duty to support those in need and reflect on how our resources can fulfill a higher purpose.To have your questions featured on the Ask Away series, please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #56) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

    Aug 3 2025

    Unlock the secrets of a healthier, more balanced life as we merge the ancient wisdom of Jewish medical authorities with today’s quest for wellness. Explore with us the delicate dance between character and consumption, where the moderation of our diet serves as a mirror to our values. Our conversation traverses the landscape of foods, distinguishing between those that nourish and those that deplete us, while shining a light on the pivotal role hydration plays in our overall health. From the detrimental effects of aged, salted fish to the life-affirming properties of figs and grapes, we navigate the complex interplay of food choices and their impact on our well-being.

    Step onto the path of holistic living where the timeliness of a meal, the rhythm of a drink, and the natural call to relieve oneself become signposts to health. Together, we examine how the seasons can affect our vitality, and the profound ways in which our emotional states — happiness, stress, even fear — can influence the body's equilibrium. We stress the importance of exercise in moderation, share insights on the balancing act of sleep, and investigate how these practices can support not only our physical form but also our mental serenity.

    Lastly, we focus our gaze on the spiritual dimension of our health journey, from the care of our vision to the marks of our past. We discuss the ways in which safeguarding our eyes from strain is not only a practical concern but also a spiritual one, as our bodies are vessels for higher purpose. Reflecting on our spiritual evolution, we embrace our history and the lessons it imparts, encouraging listeners to stride forward with intention and compassion on their individual paths. Join us for this enlightening expedition into the heart of Jewish health and wellness, where every step is a step towards a more vibrant you.
