I’ve been really enjoying many of the 10-12 minute sound bytes on your show! They’re perfect. A great combination of insight, Jewish teachings, real-life examples, and are easy to understand. Sometimes I feel like certain lessons are reinforced for me by different people if I didn’t get it the first time around or didn’t internalize it or wasn’t listening…and so other ways of delivering the same materials or values have been helpful and here on your podcast I am able to find that for myself. You also have a nice voice and I come from a musical family so we’re tuned into sounds and notice the nuances of it more. Thank you for creating these episodes! I have and continue to learn a ton. And am new but immersing myself in Jewish culture, wisdom and community. It’s wonderful.
