The Distinguished Gates

Rachmiel Ezra Travitz

I seek to answer questions of importance, especially those submitted by listeners, in all areas of Jewish Law, Practice, and Thought. I am an ordained Rabbi, a lawyer, and aspiring academic of Jewish Studies. My approach is based on textual evidence and received tradition of Talmudic interpretation, dating back to the Babylonian Geonim.

    Introduction & Goals

    'The Distinguished Gates' is a reference to the Babylonian Talmud Tractate Berakhoth folio 8a. The Talmudic Sages' preference for practical Jewish study, rather than theoretical, underpins the purpose of this podcast. A key purpose of this podcast is to provide a resource where my answers to questions I receive can be readily accessible for the study and enjoyment of the listeners.
