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.

How is this Religion different from all other Religions: How Judaism is an Evidence-based Faith (Part 2)
The Talmud declares that someone who rejects the legitimacy of the Written Torah as being written by Moses as per the dictation of the Almighty has no portion in the World to Come. If someone accepts the Torah at large but argues that a single verse is not Divine – they have no portion in the world to come. But do we accept the veracity of the Torah blindly? What proofs do we have to back up this lofty claim?

Straddling the Line Between Reliance on God and Personal Responsibility
If God decides and knows everything, what do I have to lose by walking through a highway blindfolded? God makes people sick. If so, should we try to undo that via prayer? Perhaps he should only pray and not seek medical attention? Can someone be obese and guzzle steaks and say “if the Almighty wants me to die then I will die?” What about the major political quagmire in Israel today regarding the conscription of yeshiva students? A thoroughly entertaining discussion on the crossroads of what we do and what God does.
