The session opens with honoring parents while maintaining personal autonomy (especially regarding baby naming), then moves into detailed halachic guidance on blessings for meals, snacks, and complex foods like soups. Rabbi Wolbe explains why the Torah only hints at Olam Haba (to preserve free will and because of Hashem’s inherent love), offers clear kosher guidelines for liquors and flavored spirits, and provides reassuring advice on kitchen mix-ups and Jewish community safety in Houston.He also delivers thoughtful responses on deeper topics, such as proposing “common sense” as a modern 11th Commandment, the balance between Torah study and mitzvot/good deeds (emphasizing closeness to Hashem as the ultimate goal), and navigating contemporary culture through uplifting Jewish content. Throughout, Rabbi Wolbe blends practical halacha, personal stories, humor, and inspiration, encouraging listeners to grow in observance while staying connected to Hashem.Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!
