Madlik Podcast – Disruptive Torah Thoughts on Judaism

Madlik podcast lights the way to a deeper and richer understanding of Judaism, Judaic practices and its relation to the greater world. The host with the most, Geoffrey Stern, is a deep thinker with a unique background who can effortlessly straddle the secular, religious, Israely and philanthropic worlds to provide the listener with an experience impossible to receive elsewhere. Forget those other ”same old” podcasts and start tuning in. Am Yisrael Chai! Moshe

Distributive Torah is just the beginning of what this podcast adds to my life. Each week listening to Geoffrey and Rabbi Mintz discussing the weekly portion brings new approach and ideas to the known test. It’s the best part of the week and great beginning to shabbat.

I am biased. Geoffrey is my cousin. But he is a learned man with a passion for Torah study and an unusual background and perspective. He opens up an appreciation of the humaneness and twists and turns of the Text. He is a great teacher and I always come away with some spark of enlightenment. Thank you Geoffrey for creating Madlik

This podcast is interesting even for a Gentile! Content and perspective relating to the challenges of applying and adapting tradition and Torah text to modern changes / evolution in culture are especially interesting — like the latest episode on inter-marriage. Some of the thoughts on dealing and adapting are relevant across the board in multiple contexts: religion / life / business.
