Thinking Talmudist Podcast · Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe

How deeply do you understand the sacred bond between man, woman, and God in the creation of life? Join us as we explore this divine triad and its critical role in life's milestones, including weddings. We reflect on the Torah's timeless wisdom as the cornerstone of moral and ethical values and voice our concerns over Hebrew Union College's recent policy to admit and ordain students with non-Jewish partners, illustrating how straying from Torah can erode foundational principles.

We discuss the immense importance of honoring one's parents through the inspiring Talmudic story of Dama ben Nesina, a Gentile who showcased extraordinary respect for his father's rest, even at a great personal cost. This narrative underscores how deeply valued this mitzvah is in Jewish tradition. Finally, we delve into the personal connection each of us has with God, sharing moving examples of sincere devotion in various forms. We conclude with heartfelt blessings, encouraging everyone to serve Hashem with true love and dedication, and wishing all an amazing Shabbos.
