    HODU - 2 [Prayer: Pesukei Dezimra/Verses of Song #5]
    Mar 16 2026

    In this episode, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the second section of Hodu (recited after the afternoon Tamid offering, per some opinions), beginning with the call to "Sing to Hashem, all the earth; announce His salvation daily" (Tehillim 96:1–5). He emphasizes declaring Hashem's greatness and daily salvation to the nations—reminding the world that Hashem is the authentic Creator of heaven and earth, not the false gods or natural forces idolized by others. The verses contrast elilim (nothingness/false gods) with Hashem's true dominion: "For all the gods of the peoples are nothing, but Hashem made the heavens."

    Rabbi Wolbe highlights the urgency of daily recognition ("basru miyom el yom yeshu'ato" – announce His salvation daily), as forgetting Hashem's gifts happens quickly—hence the rabbinic requirement of 100 berachot daily (roughly every 7–8 minutes of wakefulness). He connects this to relationships (e.g., constantly reminding a spouse of love) and spiritual life: without regular praise and acknowledgment (starting with Modeh Ani), gratitude fades, leading to entitlement or doubt. Singing Hashem's praise elevates the soul, draws us closer to Him, and invites the nations to recognize His oneness and wonders—transforming personal gratitude into a global declaration of faith.

  • HODU - 1 [Prayer: Pesukei Dezimra/Verses of Song #4]

    HODU - 1 [Prayer: Pesukei Dezimra/Verses of Song #4]
    Feb 24 2026
    In this Prayer Podcast episode on Hodu (the first section of Pesukei Dezimra), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explains its structure, purpose, and deeper meaning. Hodu consists of 50 verses (from Chronicles and Psalms), divided into three parts, recited either before or after Baruch She'amar (depending on Ashkenaz/Sephard custom) to remove spiritual barriers (klipot) from the morning offerings and elevate prayer.Key points:Hodu = Give thanks — The prayer begins with a charge to declare Hashem’s name and make His miracles known among the nations (“Hodiu ba’amim alilosaiv”). It’s an expression of love for Hashem: when you truly love Him, you want to share that love with the world.Practical themes — Publicize Hashem’s acts (not keep Judaism secret); take pride in His name (“Hisalu b’shem kodsho”); rejoice in seeking Him (“yismach leiv mevakshei Hashem”); constantly seek His presence and strength (“dirshu Hashem v’uzo, bakshu panav tamid”); remember His wonders, covenant, and chosen status of Israel (“zichru la’olam briso”).Spiritual power — Hodu removes klipot (negative spiritual forces) that block prayer after mentioning offerings. It’s sung before the Ark in the Temple (twice daily); today it replaces offerings and connects us to the Temple service.Connection to daily life — Start the day with gratitude and awe: see Hashem’s wonders in nature (sunrise, waves, wind, hurricanes, volcanoes), personal blessings, and creation. Share Hashem’s greatness—don’t hide Jewish identity; attribute success to Him (“kiru bishmo”).Broader message — Hodu inspires sharing Hashem with humanity, just as Abraham did. It’s the opening song of Pesukei Dezimra—sing praise, not just recite words.The rabbi emphasizes joyful, intentional prayer: Hodu is about declaring Hashem’s sovereignty, remembering the covenant, and rejoicing in seeking Him—turning morning prayer into song and testimony._____________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. #45) of the Prayer Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Dr. Leonard & June Goldberg!

    BORUCH SH'OMAR - 2 [Prayer: Pesukei Dezimra/Verses of Song #3]
    Jan 28 2026
    In this Prayer Podcast episode (Part 2 of Baruch She'amar), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues his deep dive into the opening blessing of Pesukei Dezimra. He explains the prayer's two parts: the introductory praises (10 praises corresponding to creation's 10 utterances and the 10 Commandments) and the actual blessing. Drawing from the Rokach and other commentaries, the rabbi reveals profound secrets:Baruch She'amar V'haya Ha'olam — Hashem spoke the world into existence (yesh me'ayin); everything was created in one utterance, then revealed gradually over time.Baruch Hu — The world exists to glorify Hashem's Name.Baruch Oseh Bereishis — Hashem renews creation every single day (present tense verbs emphasize ongoing miracles).Baruch Omer V'oseh — What Hashem decrees immediately happens.Baruch Gozer Umekayem — Decrees (even difficult ones) are fulfilled, yet Hashem sustains us through them.Baruch Merachem Al Ha'aretz / Al Ha'briyot — Hashem shows compassion on the earth and every creature.Baruch Meshaleim Sochar Tov Li're'av — Hashem rewards the righteous eternally (in the World to Come), while the wicked get their reward in this world.Baruch Chai La'ad V'kayam Lanetzach — Hashem was, is, and will be forever (YKVK = past, present, future).Baruch Podeh U'matzil — Hashem redeems and rescues from every challenge.Baruch Shemo — Blessed is His Name, despite being hidden.The rabbi connects this to the parsha (Va'era), where Hashem reveals Himself as the Redeemer ("Ani Hashem") and performs miracles to prove His sovereignty. He stresses living with awe: see daily miracles (body, nature, modern survivals in Israel) as ongoing creation and love from Hashem—never let them become routine._____________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. #45) of the Prayer Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Dr. Leonard & June Goldberg!
