Lechteich Parshah Podcast

A terrifying dibbuk encounter. A haunting question from Rabbi Yerucham Levovitz. And one chilling answer about why people cling to destructive habits—even when faced with the truth. The teachings of the Chofetz Chaim reveal how the more we attach ourselves to emes and kedusha, the easier it becomes to break free and hold on to what truly lasts forever.

If Shavuos is all about Torah learning… where do women fit in? A powerful story, a surprising answer, and a life-changing message about what it truly means to serve Hashem. Because royalty doesn’t look around at everyone else.

Fire rains down, Egypt is shattered—and yet, some things remain untouched. A single pasuk in the seventh makkah draws a sharp line between what is destroyed and what survives. What looks like an agricultural detail becomes a terrifying spiritual forecast: arrogance and a corrupted mouth cannot endure the storm, while humility and attachment to Torah place a person beyond the reach of nature itself. Ancient prophecy collides with a modern, jaw-dropping story of salvation that defies every rule...

Marcus Aurelius in the Roman camps and Yosef HaTzaddik in Potiphar’s house faced temptations meant to pull them down. Their strength came from identity, dignity, and remembering who they were. Midrash and Rabbeinu Yonah show how that awareness becomes the strongest defense against the yetzer hara. Even a prince above the mud knows he was made for more. Never stain the divine spark inside.

This week’s shiur takes us into the quiet, tense moments where a small decision becomes a real test. Through powerful stories—like a simple stamp that turned into a question of emes, or a brand-new car that wouldn’t budge with Rav Chaim inside—we see how Hashem guides us in ways we don’t always notice. It’s a reminder that the everyday choices we make say everything about who we really are.

In this Lechteich episode, Parshas Toldos erupts with unexpected drama. A single cry from Eisav — raw, bitter, explosive — unleashes a chain reaction that nearly seals Klal Yisrael’s fate centuries later. How could one moment carry such devastating force? And what hidden truth about sensitivity and responsibility lies beneath it? Through a powerful blend of Torah insight and a real-life story of courage and compassion, this episode uncovers the quiet strength of noticing another Yid — and the...

A broken sprinkler isn’t exactly a crisis… unless you’re five years old. But in that moment — tears, frustration, and all — a simple question emerged: “Don’t we believe Hashem can do anything?” What followed in that park was more than a repair. It was a reminder — straight from a child’s heart — of what pure emunah looks like. In this episode, we connect that small miracle to Sarah Imeinu’s laughter, the Chafetz Chaim’s timeless insight, and the message so many of us need right now: Whe...
