Rabbi Glatstein's weekly parsha series
Rabbi Daniel Glatstein on the Parsha is a weekly Torah series in which Rabbi Daniel Glatstein — a prominent contemporary maggid shiur and prolific author — draws insight from each week's reading. It is a parsha-focused collection, about thirty classes, meant to be followed week by week through the yearly Torah cycle rather than heard as one lecture.
Rabbi Glatstein is known for weaving together a wide range of sources — midrash, the rishonim and acharonim, and stories of gedolim — into a clear, engaging drasha. On the parsha, that approach turns each week's reading into a rich, well-built shiur. The series gives a listener a reliable weekly companion for the parsha, in a voice many already know and trust.
What his parsha classes draw out
A parsha shiur can stay on the surface or reach for depth, and Rabbi Glatstein's tend toward the latter — surfacing a question in the text and answering it from across the breadth of Torah literature. His strength is organization: however wide he ranges, the line of thought stays easy to follow, so a listener ends each class with a clear idea to carry.
Because the series tracks the calendar, it meets the parsha exactly when it is being read in shul, making the learning timely rather than abstract. Machshava, character, and the lessons embedded in the narrative all surface in his treatment. Thirty recorded classes give a household a deep well to draw from as the Torah cycle comes around.
A weekly parsha shiur for the family
Because the classes are recorded, a family can take the week's parsha shiur whenever it suits — before Shabbos, or over the days leading up to it — and replay a point worth a second hearing. A weekly series gives family learning a natural rhythm, tied to the reading the whole community shares that week.
Rabbi Glatstein's engaging, story-rich style makes the parsha welcoming across ages, giving parents and children a shared idea to bring to the Shabbos table. And because the series follows the yearly cycle, the recordings return to relevance every year, letting a household revisit and deepen its learning of each parsha as it comes around again.
