Best parsha podcast
I've listened to so many parsha podcasts, this is the one I listen to! I absolutely love Rabbi Wolbe's voice, and the way he breaks down the weekly parsha makes it enjoyable and easily digestible. The exquisite insights are by far my favorite part I could listen to just that! I really love how he makes complex ideas of the Torah accessible to even a Balt Teshuva such as myself. Thank you so much, you truly are a tzadik!
