Tora is available for everyone

These classes a guide the listener through the Tora in a way that is deeply faithful to our tradition, yet rational. Finally the sephardic approach to Tora is available for all to learn.

You finally did it! Mazal Tov!

This is the first online Rabbinical program of its kind. The beauty of this program is that Rabbi Ovadia has made his knowledge available to the common folk and it's free. His approach is so refreshing and his daily emails are off the chain!
