Parsha Podcast with Ari Goldwag

Why is the merit for Hashem being on the side of the Jewish people simply saying Shema? Why are all the things the Jews are told not to fear related to sound? Why is the Kohen who speaks to the Jewish people specifically anointed with oil? Find out in this week's Parsha Podcast.

What is the significance of mountains in the ceremony at Mount Gerizim and Eval? Why does a mountain play such a crucial role in the giving of the Torah? Why is a mountain the place where the Temple stood? Why are the Avos referred to as mountains? Find out in this week's Parsha Podcast.

What is the concept of fear of Hashem in Judaism? Why is it the gateway through which we enter into a relationship of love with Hashem? What is the fundamental relationship of this concept to the concepts of Unity and Disparity, and Kindness and Restraint? This is one podcast you will not want to miss.

How do we develop a love for Hashem? How do we understand our relationship with Him? Why does this parsha follow Tisha B'av?

Thoughts on Tisha Bav - the sadness we feel and the aim of the day.

Why did Moshe start his final speech by retelling of sins the Jews he was speaking to had not even committed? What was his essential message as they entered Israel? Why did it always seem that Hashem would get angry, and somehow Moshe would stop His anger - Hashem is not human, and certainly knew the idea Moshe conveyed! Why are there human sages who are part of the celestial court that judges a person after he dies? Do angels have free choice?
