A weekly parsha series
This Week in Torah is exactly what its name says: a recurring weekly series built around the parsha, with roughly sixty installments to date. Each one takes the week's Torah portion and pulls out a single, practical idea — usually about how to live better, think clearer, or push through a hard moment. It is less a text-analysis shiur and more a focused talk that leaves you with one thing to carry into the week.
The signature move is to start from a pasuk, a character, or a scene in the parsha and turn it into a lesson about mindset and growth. That framing is what has made the series a popular weekly touchpoint for people who want their Torah tied directly to real life.
Who is Charlie Harary
Charlie Harary is a well-known speaker, businessman, and professor who has built a wide following far beyond the classroom. He is recognized for a high-energy, contemporary delivery that bridges Torah and personal development, and he speaks regularly to audiences across the Jewish world and in secular settings alike.
Much of his teaching centers on greatness, emunah, and resilience — the idea that a person can change and rise. This Week in Torah applies that same lens to the annual parsha cycle, week after week, which is why his talks feel motivational without losing their grounding in the text.
What to expect from each talk
The talks are short, tightly focused, and built around a story and an idea. You do not need a heavy background in Gemara or meforshim to follow along; the goal is accessibility, and Harary keeps the ideas clear and immediately usable.
That makes the series a natural weekly boost — a Shabbos-table idea, a chizuk for a tough week, or something to listen to on the drive. Its strength is taking an ancient portion and making it speak to a modern challenge you are facing right now.
