Customer Reviews
A Great Podcast
I am working my way through all of the episodes on this podcast and they have all been extremely interesting and entertaining. I particularly like Rabbi Laura’s use of questions to explain words/ concepts to the listener, as well as the wide range of participants. My favourite so far is the most recent episode on conversion and the wonderful conversation between Rabbi Laura and two other rabbis. It was an enlightening and erudite conversation and I felt privileged to be able to listen in.
Krish and the masterpiece finale!
I am loving these podcasts. All different, all offering nuggets of wisdom and food for thought. Rabbi Laura’s compassion and astuteness comes through as she delves deep into what the interviewees think are just throwaway comments. I’m excited to listen to more episodes. Krish’s Dalai Lama story is going to be very hard to beat!
