I love this podcast! Rabbi Hersh makes Jewish History easy to understand and follow. I have learned so much that I didn’t know (or didn’t pay attention to at school) and it leaves me intrigued to learn more! Thank you so much for a great podcast.
Good History, but not Objective for Current Events

Jew here. Do the podcasters believe that none of us have made our aliyah to see what is happening in Palestine? Jews were often victims throughout history, but the genocide in Gaza is not something anybody who has been there can say is not the fault of our own people. We are not victims of hate when people call it a genocide because that is what it is. Aside from the podcaster’s take on current events, the history is good and the stories are informative and told well.
Addictive!

A most comprehensive yet concise narrative of Jewish (and world) history and hashkafa. Intelligent and engaging. Rabbi Hersh offered me shock treatment when I told him my family is addicted and anticipates every new episode; no thanks Rabbi, and please keep the episodes coming. Many thanks to Rabbi Reisner for excellent hosting.
