Rabbi Wolbe and the entire Torch team are truly incredible. I’ve been an avid listener of most of the Torch podcasts for many years & I can’t thank them enough for everything that they do! Listening to the weekly installments of Parasha Podcast has become a regular part of my day for the past few years. Thank you Rabbi Wolbe & Torch!

I wait for this weekly! It’s the best Paraha podcast!

I listen to this pretty much every week and have found it so valuable

Excellent. I am coming from a B’nai Noach background. Thank you Rabbi Wolbe for making your Torah teaching available to all nations. I learn so much from each podcast and you make the lessons personal. I am on the road quite a bit. These podcasts help me connect and get more in-depth teaching to the current Parsha.

The Parasha Podcast is an absolute gem! Rabbi Wolbe is nothing short of phenomenal—his brilliance shines through in every episode. His deep insights into the weekly parasha are both enlightening and accessible, making even the most complex ideas understandable. But what truly sets Rabbi Wolbe apart is his incredible sense of humor. He has a way of weaving in wit and humor that keeps you engaged from start to finish. A week doesn’t go by without me tuning in to this podcast. It has become an essential part of my routine, offering not only spiritual nourishment but also genuine enjoyment. Whether you’re well-versed in Torah study or just starting out, Rabbi Wolbe’s Parasha Podcast is a must-listen. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a meaningful and delightful dive into the parasha of the week!

I've listened to so many parsha podcasts, this is the one I listen to! I absolutely love Rabbi Wolbe's voice, and the way he breaks down the weekly parsha makes it enjoyable and easily digestible. The exquisite insights are by far my favorite part I could listen to just that! I really love how he makes complex ideas of the Torah accessible to even a Balt Teshuva such as myself. Thank you so much, you truly are a tzadik!

Listening to Rabbi Wolbe’s joyful voice and his sense of humor while learning the intricacies, nuances and power of Torah is a fascinating experience for anybody looking to develop their own personal relationship with the Jewish nation. I look forward to each episode. B”H

This Rabbi is such a blessed teacher! You will not be disappointed in any of his podcasts. Be entertained while being educated. Listen and find out what you didn’t know you didn’t know. By the way, listen guilt free by donating. You get, you give. You give, you get. It’s a perfect system isn’t it?

Excellent! I guess however, you decided you do not want to put dates in. Also, a little bit more explanation about why Laban could both be a scholar of the Torah, and also have idols.

Definitely worth the subscription

Antisemitism is well known but what do you call a rabbi who hates the non Jew?

Nuff said.

Rabbi Wolbe is amazing. He brings scholarship, earnestness, humor and humility as he makes the esoteric and profound accessible to normal people like me. I am a busy doctor and father, and don’t have time to study. So I listen to the weekly parsha podcast and make sure that I engage in just a little bit of Torah every day. And Rabbi Wolbe is the perfect guide.

Rabbi, you out-do yourself every episode! I hope to have the privilege to learn with you and sit at your feet for a very very long time. And please don’t call me nice and sweet :)). Much love- Marc

Rabbi Wolbe is hands down transformational in the development of my relationship and connection to Hashem and my personal growth in Judaism. Each one of his podcasts is inspiring with a deep level of research and connection to our scripture and past. He find a deep meaning and modern connection based on texts and words that are seemingly random and ancient. If you are a new listener keep listening and listen to his other podcasts too. You won’t be disappointed. I am so thankful that I found his podcasts and appreciate what he brings into my life. Thank you Hashem for the opportunity to learn and grow. And thank you Rabbi Wolbe for inspiring all your other listeners - from strength to strength.

My first favorite TORCH podcast was the Jewish History podcast. I found it to be entertaining and deeply enlightening. Then I wandered into the land of the Parsha podcast, and now that I discovered it, I’ll never turn back. Rabbi Wolbe’s wisdom and sense of humor makes every episode feel like a special treat. I’ve learned so much about Torah, lessons that I’ve shared with my family and friends, and I’m convinced that we’re all spiritually better off because of these lessons.

This podcast was a real game changer for me Thank you !!

R. Wolbe does an an outstanding job researching and sharing modern and historical commentary! Plus critical information from the sages and many generations of commentators! I learn so much with every episode. YASHER KOACH Rabbi🙂👍

Rabbi Wolbe has been instrumental in reintroducing me to the beauty of Torah and the weekly parshas. I look forward to his wonderful, and exquisite, insights each week and anticipate his weekly newsletter each Friday. Rabbi Wolbe extracts wisdom and delivers it to your ears and heart with masterful ability. A modern day doleh u mashkeh rabbi. I have learned so much and cannot be more thankful. Chazak ve Ematz!!!!

Rabbi Wolbe has changed my life. All of Rabbi Wolbe’s podcasts have helped me better connect with my faith and my life as a Jew. Inspired by these podcasts, I’ve been keeping Shabbos and Kosher for the first time in my life. Rabbi Wolbe’s passion and enthusiasm for teaching Torah are truly second to none. This podcast is a must listen for anyone who wants to study Torah.

Rabbi Wolbe, thank you for this and all of your other wonderful podcasts. The Parsha pod in particular gets me most excited for each coming Shabbos! Full of exuberance, insights, humor, and the all powerful knowledge bombs, this pod has it all and does a wonderful job of connecting the week’s Parsha to myriad other sources, texts, Jewish personalities and life situations. My home library has grown exponentially stemming from the insights of these wonderful podcasts. Again, thank you!

These episodes light up my week. The enthusiasm in your voice always makes me smile & I have deeply enjoyed the truly *exquisite* insights your interpretations offer.

I started listening to the Parsha Podcast this year and can honestly say, thanks to Rabbi Wolbe I am a better Jew. I have learned more than I was ever taught in Hebrew School and learn real details that have helped me to understand each weekly Parsha. I can apply what I have learned to improve my llife, improve my faith, be a better person and like I said, be a better Jew. Thank you Rabbi Wolbe.

Everyone should listen to this podcast. This Rabbi is dropping knowledge bombs weekly! This is life changing!!

if you need to listen to some thing that will transform your view of how to live, please please listen to this podcast. Don't just listen once, listen to as many of these podcasts as you can. these podcasts are not only exceptional for their wisdom, but the positive energy and enthusiasm that one absorbs when listening to them produces an amazing experience. Learning isn't easy. Life isn't easy. But if you devote an hour a week to listening and really trying to understand what's being said, I promise, you will grow.

I learned so much last week and was able to share at my shabbos table and really impressed our family and friends!!

A daily routine of mine to listen to these beautiful, thorough, enriching podcasts.

Just listened to Va’eschanan - Entry Denied. Spectacular. You think The Parsha Podcast can’t get any better - and then you are proved wrong. The depth and scholarship of the Podcast is remarkable. This last episode in my opinion is the best one so far. Unbelievable! The layering of stories, interlaced with Talmudic references is pure joy. But if next week’s podcast is better (and that would be quite something) given Rabbi Wolbe’s track record - I won’t be surprised. I hope in writing this he does not feel any added pressure. He should live and be well. Love this podcast!!

I look forward to every Parsha Podcast episode! Thank you Rabbi Wolbe for making this available to everyone. I’m Roman Catholic; so you may be surprised to know I’m a regular listener. I’ve been inspired, touched, and educated during each episode. I share and recommend your podcast to EVERYONE!

During the pandemic, I’ve started to take long walks / runs around my neighborhood and started looking for inspiring podcasts. I am so happy that I found this Parsha study podcast! Rabbi Walbe brings a well-rounded view with insights from the Midrash and many other sources. I especially enjoy hearing first the episode from last year (rebroadcast) and then listen to the new episode every week - giving me yet another angle to look at the Parsha! The work that Torch and Rabbi Walbe are doing is incredible to reach people all around the world and I want to re-inforce them to continue and grow! Yeshar Koach!

Just 5 stars available? I love all of Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe’s podcasts and give them the maximum possible – Five Stars! Any way they can be big stars? I’m sure everyone has a few stories about how their lives have changed forever due to the Covid Pandemic? For me, one really great thing is I discovered Rabbi Wolbe’s interesting and informative podcasts. I am now proud to say that I would never again make the statement, “I am culturally Jewish.” That expression does not fit me anymore with my continually increasing depth of knowledge, not to mention love and appreciation for my religion. Before the Pandemic, I can’t really say I had thoroughly digested even a Haggadah properly. Looking back, I am embarrassed to say, I had led some horrible Seders. But as I continue to learn all this new, fascinating, multi-layered, unending, mind-bending information from Rabbi Wolbie, often above our comprehension, it humbles you. Thank you Rabbi!

Rabbi Wolbe is an excellent teacher who explains the Parsha in a way for a person who did not have a traditional Jewish education can understand. He always gives insights that I really enjoy. Thank you Rabbi Wolbe and Torch for helping me connect to Hashem and to the Torah. Jonathan Brody

Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe’s parsha podcast has been my single greatest joy after discovering it this past year. Never before have I refreshed my podcast page so much in the hopes that another episode has dropped. Such moving, intelligent, and scholarly analysis has fundamentally changed my outlook on life, G-d, and Torah. I have ‘rediscovered’ my Judaism because of Rabbi Wolbe and the rest of his team at TORCH and encourage you to partake, learn, and grow. THANK YOU!

Studying Torah with Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe in these podcasts has been a life changing experience. This and his other podcasts are nurturing and thought provoking. I enjoy coming to virtual shul every week. Highly recommended!

He did an amazing job you must be so proud

What a great way to analyze the Parsha. This podcast makes the Shabbos morning Torah reading much more enjoyable. Thank you.

Excellent, profound Torah commentary which is eye, ear and mind opening. Well done.

The Rabbi presents in a clear and focused way. I am very happy I found his podcast. It is a highlight in my week and I feel good when I come prepared for Shabbat having a good overall understanding of the weekly reading as well as the specific concepts I can integrate into my own daily life. Blessings from Israel.

Learn with each podcast but sometimes I have to listen several times .

I listen to rabbi Wolbe a lot and he is amazing

I agree with the prior comment and add that also the audio is pleasant. His voice is clear and pleasant to listen to.

It is truly wonderful to see the Alm-ghty use sand and a star to reveal Himself to the world, even to a non-Jew like me. May He keep you and bless you and let His face shine on you and may you know the fullness of His love for you. I humbly thank you and thoroughly enjoy all that you have shared.

This man is speaking 2,000 years of wisdom

So smart

Amazing podcast and highly recommended to everyone!

High-level material put into perfectly relatable, understandable, and sophisticated English.
