[Day 164 - Orchos Tzaddikim | Repentance 21]","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":1119,"description":"In day 164 of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues the Gate of Repentance in Orchos Tzaddikim. He presents the sixth inspiration for teshuvah: living with the constant awareness that one is “one foot in the grave.” A person should never delay repentance until old age, because death can come at any moment. Instead, one must be prepared at all times to face the Creator by living in purity, constantly examining one’s actions, and eagerly seeking mitzvahs every single day.\nRabbi Wolbe emphasizes the importance of balance — not living in constant fear, but maintaining a healthy, proactive mindset. He shares powerful personal stories, including his grandfather’s humility in the diamond district and his own self-imposed boundaries (such as never visiting Las Vegas). The class concludes with the beginning of a discussion on the four types of teshuvah, starting with teshuvah ha-ba — complete repentance demonstrated when the same temptation returns and is resisted.\n_____________\nThis Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky Botvin\nRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on November 24, 2025, in Houston, Texas.\nReleased as Podcast on July 15, 2026\n_____________\nThis series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.\nJoin the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.\nWe are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)\n_____________\nListen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  \n_____________About the Host:\nRabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/xC6r791Xymmyyuvq9mTdZu0MAAPBACVmCy-Annx8scQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lNzIw/Y2Q5NDEwOThkYmRi/NjkwMTNiZWE1Njhl/MzljZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
