Customer Reviews
Introduce yourself!
I enjoy the content as well as the concept of each guest sharing 3 indispensable lessons from Jewish tradition. I’d like to suggest that the presenter make a more personal connection to the audience. What is your name? I never heard you introduce yourself nor a guest address you by name. Also, what prompted you on this mission to promote Torah learning in this way? For me, these more personal connections will enhance the Torah learning. Finally, please consider using the show notes more extensively for the purpose of spreading Torah. For example, include links to Sefaria.Org for any references to classical texts. This will make it easier for listeners to follow up with the text while it is being discussed or shortly thereafter. I also encourage more extensive bios of the guests in the show notes, including references to any of their publications. Keep up the good work. -Rabbi Ed Bernstein
