What Is the Talmud Really For? Understanding Its Four Core Goals

In this thoughtful session, Rabbi Wolbe explores the deeper purpose of the Talmud, outlining its four central goals and why each one is essential for a complete understanding of Torah. He explains that the Talmud was designed to: Explain the Mishnah Render practical halachic rulings Preserve new insights and interpretations Codify Aggadic teachings, the philosophical and spiritual heart of the tradition Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe emphasizes that true Talmud study requires engaging both Halacha and Aggadah. While halachic discussions shape Jewish practice, Aggadic passages—often cryptic, symbolic, and challenging—are meant to stretch the mind, refine spiritual perception, and develop depth of understanding rather than offer simple answers. The discussion highlights why Aggadah is intentionally indirect: its layered language forces the student to think, wrestle, and mature intellectually and spiritually. This struggle, Yaakov explains, is not a flaw of the Talmud but one of its greatest strengths. Yaakov concludes by sharing his own role as a student and commentator, expressing his intention to continue exploring the rich worlds of Torah philosophy, theology, and interpretation, and inviting listeners into an ongoing journey of serious and meaningful study. 📖 Perfect for students of Torah, Talmud, Jewish philosophy, and anyone curious about how sacred texts train the mind and soul.Join us for the live interactive classes each week with fellow Noahides and Jews in the study of Jewish wisdom from the Torah.
