  • EIZEHU MEKOMAN (Offerings/Korbanot #8)

    EIZEHU MEKOMAN (Offerings/Korbanot #8)
    2025/10/09
    In this episode of the Prayer Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe discusses the fifth chapter of Tractate Zevachim, recited daily in the morning prayers as part of the korbanot section, aligning with the Daf Yomi cycle starting October 8, 2025. He emphasizes the spiritual and practical significance of studying the offerings, which substitute for actual temple sacrifices, and their role in fulfilling the mitzvah of daily Torah, Mishnah, and Talmud study. The episode connects the offerings to prayer, personal transformation, and the Jewish mission. Key points include:Purpose of Studying Korbanot: Reciting the verses (Torah), Mishnah (Zevachim, Chapter 5), and Brisa of Rabbi Yishmael (Talmud, planned for next week) before prayers fulfills the mitzvah of daily study, even for busy professionals. This ensures spiritual connection before engaging in prayer, as studying offerings is akin to bringing them (1:15–2:23).Written vs. Oral Torah: The Written Torah (Tanakh: Torah, Nevi’im, Ketuvim) outlines what to do (e.g., mezuzah, shechita), but lacks how-to details. The Oral Torah (Mishnah, Talmud, Midrash, Kabbalah), compiled by Rabbeinu HaKadosh into six orders, decodes these instructions, transmitted from Moshe at Sinai. Rabbi Wolbe recounts helping his attorney friend understand that Moshe wrote the Torah per Hashem’s command, citing Numbers 9:23 and the small aleph in Vayikra (Leviticus 1:1) as evidence of Moshe’s humility (2:23–11:25).Zevachim, Chapter 5’s Uniqueness: This chapter, titled “Eizehu Mekoman” (What is their place?), is unique as the only Mishnah chapter without disputes, reflecting unity and clarity in the laws of where offerings are brought in the temple. This unity mirrors the Kohen’s requirement to be at peace with others to serve, emphasizing communal harmony (13:37–14:40, 24:51–26:01).Types of Offerings:Communal Offerings: The Tamid (daily morning and evening) and Musaf (on Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh, holidays like Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot) represent collective devotion.Individual Offerings: Include Olah (burnt, symbolizing complete devotion), Shlamim (peace, elevating physicality), Pesach, firstborn, tithe, thanksgiving, and Chagigah. Each addresses a spiritual need, like the Olah atoning for forbidden thoughts (18:37–19:21, 28:22–29:29).Prayer as a Substitute for Offerings: Rav Schwab explains that the Amidah parallels the Olah: stripping physicality (hafshet, like skinning), approaching with a broken heart (nituach, like cutting), and praying with fiery enthusiasm (kolil l’ishim, like burning). This transforms prayer into a spiritual offering, connecting the soul to Hashem (29:29–33:16).Spiritual Insights:Dignity in Eating: Rabbi Wolbe cites the Talmud’s comparison of eating in the marketplace to a dog, urging dignified eating (e.g., using utensils, not hands) to elevate the physical, as in the Shlamim offering (22:04–23:55).Jewish Privilege and Responsibility: Responding to his son’s reluctance to attend yeshiva, Rabbi Wolbe highlights the privilege of being among the few Jewish boys studying Torah, despite antisemitism. He notes that hatred (sinah) descended with Sinai, but being chosen demands humility and shining as a light to the world (33:16–37:00).Prayer and Temple Restoration: The phrase “Eizehu Mekoman” evokes longing for the temple, paired with a prayer for its speedy rebuilding. Prayer is most effective after “feeding” Hashem with offerings, akin to Esther’s feast strategy (40:44–41:30)._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Dr. Leonard & June GoldbergDownload the Prayer Podcast Worksheets:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iBVevW1ydyjSeyeO0iCcina7e8vix3Lt?usp=sharingThis episode (Ep. #37) of the Prayer Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Dr. Leonard & June Goldberg!

  • ANA BEKOACH (Offerings/Korbanot #7)

    ANA BEKOACH (Offerings/Korbanot #7)
    2025/09/10

    In this episode of the Prayer Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the mystical and powerful Ana Bekoach prayer, attributed to the Tanaic sage Rabbi Nechunya ben HaKanah, which is recited at the end of the morning offerings and before Shabbos to signify a spiritual transition from the physical world of Asiyah (doing) to the higher realm of Yetzirah (creation). Comprising seven lines with six words each, totaling 42 words, the prayer reflects the 42-letter name of Hashem used in creation, with each line corresponding to a divine attribute, a day of creation, and the menorah’s branches, and its acronyms forming sacred names that are not pronounced to maintain their sanctity. Rabbi Wolbe explains its role as a plea for redemption, asking Hashem to release the Jewish people from limitations and protect them from adversities like anti-Semitism, as exemplified by recent tragedies in Jerusalem and Gaza. Drawing from the Arizal and Talmud (Kiddushin 71a), he highlights the prayer’s deep mystical significance, its connection to the Shema, and its ability to open channels of divine blessing (shefa), emphasizing the need for humility and purity when engaging with it. Rabbi Wolbe encourages daily recitation to renew oneself, connect to Hashem’s kingship, and emanate godliness, concluding with a blessing that all prayers be accepted.

  • KETORES | The Incense Offering (Offerings/Korbanot #6)

    KETORES | The Incense Offering (Offerings/Korbanot #6)
    2025/09/04
    In this episode of the Prayer Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the Ketores (incense offering), the final and most powerful part of the morning offerings. He explains that the Ketores, (detailed on pages 34–39 of the Artscroll Wasserman Siddur) is spiritually significant, as the Zohar teaches it nullifies negative forces in the world through its aroma. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes its potency, noting that it surpasses even the Shema and Amidah in some aspects, often recited with a minyan to maximize its impact. He delves into the symbolism of numbers, highlighting that 10 represents holiness (e.g., Ten Commandments, ten verses in Rosh Hashanah prayers), while 11 and 9 signify evil forces. The Ketores uses 11 spices to counter these forces, with specific weights (e.g., 70, 16, 12, 9 mane) to disrupt their sequence and overpower evil, as seen when Aaron used incense to stop Korach’s rebellion. Rabbi Wolbe connects the 11 amot depth of Noah’s Ark and the 11 verses in V’Yiten Lecha to this protective power. He discusses the inclusion of Chelbenah (galbanum), a foul-smelling spice, to symbolize incorporating the less righteous, as their negative traits can be transformed in a positive environment, like a yeshiva, mirroring the Yom Kippur prayer’s inclusion of all Jews (Kol Nidre). The Ketores must include all 11 spices, or it incurs severe consequences, underscoring the need for precision in recitation, as if offering it in the Temple. Rabbi Wolbe explains the use of salt as a preservative, dipped three times with challah to chase away evil, and notes the exclusion of honey, despite its transformative power, due to Torah prohibition and cost considerations. He highlights the spiritual ascent of the Ketores’s aroma, transforming physical elements into a divine connection, and cites the Shelah HaKadosh to emphasize feeling the Teshuva of the offerings over mere understanding. Reciting Ketores protects individuals, families, and the Jewish nation. Rabbi Wolbe concludes by connecting the shofar’s sound in Elul to sending prayers to God, urging listeners to reflect on their past year and seek Teshuva to clear spiritual obstacles, wishing all a meaningful week._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Dr. Leonard & June GoldbergDownload the Prayer Podcast Worksheets:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iBVevW1ydyjSeyeO0iCcina7e8vix3Lt?usp=sharingThis episode (Ep. #36) of the Prayer Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Dr. Leonard & June Goldberg!

  • KORBAN TAMID | The Tamid Offering (Offerings/Korbanot #5)

    KORBAN TAMID | The Tamid Offering (Offerings/Korbanot #5)
    2025/06/22
    In this episode of the Prayer Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe delves into the significance of the Karbon Tamid, the continual offering brought twice daily in the Temple, as outlined in Numbers 28:1-8. He explains that this offering, purchased with communal half-shekel contributions, was a consistent act of devotion, symbolizing the Jewish people’s commitment to fulfilling Hashem’s will, likened to a child pleasing a parent. The prayer recited today, which includes Torah verses, Mishnah, and Talmud, serves as a substitute for the physical offering, fulfilling daily Torah study obligations and elevating good deeds to a heavenly account. Rabbi Wolbe highlights the spiritual danger of routine, where consistency can lead to numbness, diminishing appreciation for life’s miracles, such as technology or the human body. The Tamid offering counters this by infusing daily actions with divine purpose, ensuring spiritual vitality.Rabbi Wolbe further explores the Kabbalistic dimensions of the Tamid offering, noting its connection to the “Olah” (elevation offering), which counters impurity, represented by the worm-like tendency to consume destructively. The offering’s slaughter on the north side of the altar, associated with judgment and the binding of Isaac, reflects the triumph of kindness over harshness, as seen in the ritual of washing the right hand (kindness) before the left (judgment). He emphasizes the need for intentionality in daily routines—eating, working, or sleeping—to serve Hashem, transforming the mundane into the sacred. By reciting this prayer before morning and afternoon services, and beginning evening prayers with a plea for mercy due to the absence of a nightly offering, Jews maintain a continual connection to Hashem. Rabbi Wolbe concludes with a call to infuse daily life with purpose, praying for the Third Temple’s rebuilding to restore the Tamid offering._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Dr. Leonard & June GoldbergDownload the Prayer Podcast Worksheets:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iBVevW1ydyjSeyeO0iCcina7e8vix3Lt?usp=sharingThis episode (Ep. #35) of the Prayer Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Dr. Leonard & June Goldberg!

    KIYOR | The Laver (Offerings/Korbanot #3)
    2025/05/11

    How do ancient rituals transform into modern spiritual practices? Join us, as we embark on a journey through the profound world of Karbanot, or prayer offerings, and their deep-rooted significance in both history and contemporary life. This episode takes you back to the times of biblical figures like Cain, Abel, and Abraham, unearthing the spiritual essence of sacrifices that have evolved into today's prayer rituals. We explore how these symbolic acts help elevate our moral understanding, much like charity in prayer, and stress the importance of incorporating Torah study into our daily routines.

    Handwashing—a simple act with profound implications—is more than a ritual; it's a gateway to humility and recognizing divine grace. We unravel the historical and spiritual significance of washing hands before prayer and meals, particularly bread, illustrating how this act cleanses arrogance and reinforces our human limitations without divine assistance. Even without the physical presence of the Temple, the power of daily prayers stands unfaltering, offering us a chance to make amends for past transgressions. Through our discussions, we nurture hope for the eventual rebuilding of the Temple and the arrival of Mashiach, inviting you to strengthen your connection with the divine in anticipation of a blessed day.
