 Please support TORCH at GiveTORCH.net. Thank you for your partnership in expanding our Jewish programming!In this episode launching Sefer Vayikra, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe contrasts the themes of the Torah books: Bereishit (family of Israel), Shemot (nation of Israel), Vayikra (holiness/spirituality of Israel), Bamidbar (travels of Israel), and Devarim (review). He highlights the small aleph in "Vayikra" as Moshe's humble choice to downplay his frequent divine calls (Vayikar = "it happened" vs. summoned), and Moshe's refusal to enter the Ohel Moed until explicitly called—teaching intentional Judaism: acts must be purposeful, not rote habit. Prayer, tefillin, and mitzvot lose depth when mechanical; they require Kavanah (focus/intention) and simplicity ("I'm doing this because Hashem commanded it").The Parsha's Korbanot (offerings) begin with voluntary ones, including the Olah (elevation/burnt offering) that atones for missed mitzvot—going beyond Teshuvah (repentance/apology) by repairing the relationship to an elevated state. Today, reciting the Korbanot in Tefillah substitutes for actual offerings, restoring closeness. Rabbi Wolbe stresses avoiding mundane habit in all areas (marriage, parenting, Avodah): invest freshness, intention, and growth (e.g., date your spouse, spotlight children's strengths). As Pesach approaches, prepare an intentional Seder—make it personally meaningful, not just childhood repetition. Chazak on completing Shemot; now enter the realm of kedushah with purpose._____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 17, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on March 20, 2026_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired!
