    I'm Crazy about YOU: The Delight of Divine Wisdom (Parsha Power: Ki Savo)
    Sep 11 2025
    In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores Parshas Ki Savo, the seventh portion in the Book of Deuteronomy, focusing on Deuteronomy 26:11, which instructs the Jewish people to rejoice in all the goodness given by Hashem, including to their households, the Levites, and converts. Rabbi Wolbe, citing the Orachaim HaKadosh, emphasizes that this "goodness" refers to the Torah, described as sweeter than honey, capable of transforming negative traits like arrogance or anger into positive ones, as it extracts impurities, much like honey purifies non-kosher items over time. He shares personal anecdotes, such as his excitement at understanding Talmud for the first time at age 15, and stories of great sages like the Steipler, who survived freezing conditions through immersion in Torah study, and Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, whose Torah focus influenced even physical phenomena like a flickering light at his passing. Rabbi Wolbe underscores the Torah’s transformative power, urging listeners to engage with its living, relevant teachings daily, as exemplified by his grandfather’s advice to study a verse before leaving home to shield against temptation. He connects the parsha to current events, noting the Torah’s status as a "tree of life" that energizes and elevates, encouraging listeners to embrace its sweetness with passion and commitment, especially during Elul, and concludes with a blessing for deeper Torah connection._____________This episode (Ep 7.46) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Ki Savo is dedicated in honor of our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on September 9, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on September 11, 2025_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired!

  • Turning Spiritual Struggles into Opportunities for Growth (Parsha In-Focus: Ki Seitzei)

    Turning Spiritual Struggles into Opportunities for Growth (Parsha In-Focus: Ki Seitzei)
    Sep 5 2025

    What if the key to overcoming your greatest spiritual battles lies not in struggle, but in joy? Join us as we uncover the profound lessons of Parsha Ki Seitzei and how it equips us to conquer our Yetzer Hara, or evil inclination, during the reflective month of Elul. We passionately explain why true Teshuvah (repentance) should be a joyous process and how this joy transforms our sins into mitzvahs, creating a powerful shift in our spiritual journey.

    In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, we delve into the heart of serving Hashem with happiness, revealing why Hashem desires to reward rather than punish us. With vivid analogies and heartfelt insights, we illustrate how understanding Hashem's ultimate wish for our closeness can turn our spiritual struggles into opportunities for growth. Tune in to discover the transformative power of joyful repentance and enhance your spiritual practice during these introspective days of Elul. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their connection with Hashem and approach their spiritual challenges with a positive mindset.
