Parsha Review Podcast · Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe

Can we truly learn from our past mistakes, or are we doomed to repeat them? Join us on this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast as we journey through Parshas Devarim, uncovering Moses' powerful words of guidance and reflection to the children of Israel. Together, we navigate the four layers of Torah understanding, PARDES—Pshat, Remez, Drush, and Sod—drawing inspiration from the Gaon of Vilna, who mastered these depths so profoundly that he no longer needed commentaries. We also provide essential insights into the cautious and structured approach required for studying Kabbalah, likening it to an ascent of Mount Everest.

As we transition into the month of Av and the nine-day mourning period, we reflect on the enduring lessons from the destruction of the Jewish Temples, particularly the devastating impact of baseless hatred. Through compelling stories, such as the community support for a struggling father in Ashdod, we underscore the importance of compassion and unity. This episode challenges us to consciously transform and grow, even after witnessing miracles, emphasizing the significance of judging others favorably and fostering a positive outlook in our daily lives. Embark on this enriching exploration of Torah study and timeless wisdom, and uncover the transformative power of perspective and compassion.
