The Bible is the foundation of Judaism. Unfortunately, as a result of our long exile, it has been neglected. Jewish studies today usually revolve around the oral traditions like the Talmud, and the Bible is left on the shelf. The Jews wrote it, and the gentiles read it. The fact is, only by studying Tanach can one can learn authentic Jewish concepts - nationalism, leadership, redemption, Eretz Yisrael, war, vengeance.... Through the David's, Saul's, Jonathan's, and other dynamic figures in the Bible, we reveal how a Jew conducted himself in the land of Israel before the exile.

Illuminating! I’m reading the text first , then listening to the podcast , pausing it to take notes and research. I enjoy everything Mr. Goldberg has to say.
I listen to Tamar Yonah on Israel News Talk Radio and I kept hearing the commercial for a new show “The Jewish Truth Bomb!”, I honestly thought it sounded so corny , so I was super cynical and critical as I heard Lenny Goldberg for the first time, but I was so impressed , I went in as a skeptic and not giving him the benefit of the doubt, and to my huge surprise, im hooked. It’s aggressive and passionate and contagious!
Great bible lessons
