  • The Secret to True Generosity Will Change Your Life Forever! (Day 95 - Orchos Tzaddikim | Generosity 1)

    The Secret to True Generosity Will Change Your Life Forever! (Day 95 - Orchos Tzaddikim | Generosity 1)
    Jul 6 2025

    In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the 17th gate of generosity from Orchos Tzaddikim (page 561, Treasure for Life edition) during a "Mussar Mondays" Masterclass. He redefines generosity as a heart-driven trait encompassing not just financial giving but also kindness, wisdom, and physical effort, using Abraham’s hospitality and advocacy as a model. Generosity, he explains, elevates one spiritually and socially, yielding rewards in this world and the next, as illustrated by a story of a man in Ashdod whose father’s kindness decades earlier led to an unexpectedly lavish wedding for his daughter.

    Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes that generosity is a divine loan, citing King Solomon’s teaching to “cast your bread upon the water” for future returns. He highlights three forms of generosity—monetary, physical, and intellectual—and encourages proactive giving without calculation, as God replenishes the giver. Tied to the Torch campaign at GiveTorch.net, the episode inspires listeners to embrace generosity as a transformative act that aligns with divine will and fosters connection, urging them to judge others favorably and share wisdom to uplift the world.

  • From Laziness to Action: Seizing Spiritual Opportunities (Day 94 - Orchos Tzaddikim | Laziness 3)

    From Laziness to Action: Seizing Spiritual Opportunities (Day 94 - Orchos Tzaddikim | Laziness 3)
    Jul 3 2025
    In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues his study of Orchos Tzadikim (Ways of the Righteous), concluding the chapter on laziness. Drawing from King Solomon’s wisdom in Proverbs, Rabbi Wolbe highlights the pitfalls of laziness, particularly in failing to seek or maintain friendships with wise and God-fearing individuals, which he deems the epitome of laziness. He uses the metaphor of the ant, which tirelessly gathers over a thousand kernels of food it doesn’t need, to contrast with the lazy person’s endless excuses, such as fearing "lions in the streets" to avoid Torah study or good deeds. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes the need for balance, noting that while excessive laziness is detrimental, strategic laziness—such as avoiding evil pursuits or working on Shabbos—can be virtuous. He encourages listeners to be eager in pursuing Torah, mitzvot, and positive influences, while being "lazy" about negative actions like slander, envy, or frequenting inappropriate places. Rabbi Wolbe shares a personal strategy inspired by his grandfather, who used his love for Mussar study to motivate Talmud study, illustrating how one can leverage enthusiasm for enjoyable tasks to accomplish less appealing ones. He recounts a story of agreeing to pick up a friend at 1:30 a.m., viewing it as a divine test of willingness to act, even when the task was ultimately unnecessary. The episode concludes with a call to overcome laziness by proactively pursuing good deeds and Torah study, using modern tools like YouTube and podcasts to access Torah effortlessly, and strategically applying laziness to avoid harmful influences, thereby aligning with God’s will.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 3, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on July 3, 2025_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired!
