Description
This podcast is recordings from classes given by Adam Sabzevari. There are episodes on the weekly Parasha and the Jewish holidays
There is also a series on the Sefer HaMitzvot, in which we go through the list of the Mitzvot.
We will learn the Sefer HaMitzvot HaKatzar (“Concise Book of Commandments”), written by Rabbi Yisrael Meir HaKohen Kagan (the Chofetz Chaim). The book is an abbreviated reworking of the Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvot that only includes commandments applicable outside of Israel in the post-Temple era. ************************* Podcast Link: https://adamstorah.buzzsprout.com/

Close out the series with Part 4—where the Purim story doesn’t just “end with Haman”, but turns into a deeper lesson about preparation, dates, self-defense, Jewish unity, and what Purim is really celebrating. In this final class on Megillat Esther, we walk through the end of the Megillah alongside key insights from Chazal: the king’s paranoia, Haman’s downfall, what actually saved the Jews, why the decree couldn’t simply be “undone,” and how Purim became an eternal Jewish holiday—complete wi...
In Part 3 of 4 of our Megillat Esther series, we reach one of the most dramatic turning points in the Purim story: Haman’s genocidal decree goes out across the empire, Mordechai’s public mourning shakes the streets, and Esther is called upon to risk her life by approaching the king uninvited. We explore: The terrifying language of the decree—young and old, children and women—and how Haman “incentivized” the empire by allowing plunder of Jewish property.The Gemara’s striking insight: the king...
In this session, we continue our deep dive into Megillat Esther, exploring the darker realities behind the “beauty pageant,” the introduction of Mordechai and Esther, and the political events that set the stage for the Purim miracle. Along the way, we bring key Talmud insights and classic commentaries to uncover the deeper meaning behind the story. What we cover The “pageant” in Chapter 2—and how some commentaries portray it as coercive (including an Ibn Ezra approach)Why Mordechai’s locatio...
In this first class of our 4-part series leading up to Purim, we begin exploring Megillat Esther through the lens of the Gemara (Masechet Megillah)—where Chazal unpack the story with depth, drama, and meaning. Part 1 sets the historical stage, introduces Achashverosh’s world, and explains a foundational idea: the Megillah was written under Persian rule, so its messages often come through hints and coded language—inviting us to read carefully and connect the dots. What we cover Why we start ...
101. Berachot 32A | Moshe’s Prayer & Defending Am Yisrael - Is it ok to "Argue" with God in Prayer? In this powerful shiur on Berachot 32a, we explore one of the most stunning models of tefillah in the entire Gemara: Moshe Rabbeinu’s prayer after the sin of the Golden Calf. Moshe doesn’t just “ask” Hashem for mercy — he pushes, pleads, argues, and defends Am Yisrael like the greatest leader of all time. And the Gemara reveals something deeply moving: sometimes Hashem is waiting for us t...
