In Ask Away #33, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe delivers inspiring and practical Torah guidance drawn from Parashat Mishpatim. The episode opens with profound lessons on overcoming hatred by helping an “enemy’s” animal — an act done for Hashem to foster peace and personal greatness. He beautifully expands on the meaning of chesed (kindness), teaching how to develop sensitivity to others’ unspoken needs, using wisdom from his grandfather Rabbi Shlomo Wolbe’s Aleí Shur.
Listeners receive clear halachic direction on Shabbos observance — umbrellas, rain, scooters, tallisim, and muktza — balanced with warmth and encouragement for those exploring Shabbos. Rabbi Wolbe addresses dating in mid-life with optimism and community networking tips, then dives into the classic tension between material success and spiritual growth. Drawing heavily on Ramchal, he explains how to elevate money and worldly pursuits by making them serve Hashem rather than compete with Him. The session closes with empowering teachings on tzedakah, pre-committing charity, and the spiritual mechanics of generous giving.
Throughout, Rabbi Wolbe blends deep Torah sources, personal stories, humor, and practical advice, leaving listeners motivated to grow in both middot (character) and halacha while staying connected to Hashem.
