TORCH
This Jewish Life is Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe’s flagship podcast.

In its current incarnation, the podcast focuses on exploring the deeper elements of Jewish life and philosophy. In each episode our objective is to go a bit deeper into subjects that we may be familiar with, to plumb the depths and uncover the essence of the beauty and sublimity of Jewish life and customs, and Torah wisdom.

Are we Better Off: Retreading the Multi-Year Debate between the Schools of Hillel and Shammai
The rabbis taught: for two and a half years the academies of Shammai and Hillel debated, these arguing “it is preferable for man to not be created more than to be created”, and these arguing “it is preferable for man to be created more than to not be created”. They counted (voted) and concluded: “it is preferable for man to not be created more than to be created. Now that he was indeed created he should contemplate his actions. Alternatively, he should scrutinize his actions.” (Eruvin 13b)
