I love Elul

The subtitle says it all, and it is my journey, too. The host of this podcast makes the process comforting.

Fresh and inspiring!

I started listening to the show from a recent shout out/ introduction from One a Day Talmud _
I’m in the early process of conversion to Judaism and although my father is Jewish, I have little exposure to the thoughts, culture and practice. Kylie is just so wonderful! She’s honest and open about the basic thoughts and struggles all spiritual individuals have. Her podcast is well organized and her guests and speakers are equally honest and give great insight into what it means to be human and what it means to be a Jew. I am so happy to have found her show and can’t wait to hear what more she has to say!
Thanks so much Kylie- keep up the phenomenal work

Enhancement of the Zohar

I am coming up on 10 years of a page a day of Daniel Matt’s translation of the Zohar (about 4 more years to completion). The Zohar is largely a seforic commentary on the Torah. With deepest gratitude, 49 days enhanced my soul searching in ways I never imagined. Kol Hakavod
