The show takes an interesting approach to translation. While Elle’s Hebrew is decent, it’s not expert-level, so I’d recommend using it alongside a professional translation, rather than relying solely on this podcast.
That said, the only part of each episode worth listening to is the beginning. Once the hosts dive into their interpretations, the content takes a turn for the worse. Their insights are often misleading and reveal troubling racial and sexist biases. As someone who loves the Torah, it’s frustrating to hear echoes of antisemitic stereotypes, especially claims that Jewish scriptures are sexist, cruel, or oppressive—particularly towards women. Elle’s divisive racial and anti-Israel rhetoric, both on this podcast and as a guest on others, has pushed me past my breaking point.
I believe in respecting everyone, so I cannot support a podcast that demonizes people based on race—especially those they label “White” (whether Jewish or Gentile)—justifies terrorist organizations, and blames “men” for the world’s problems. The Torah, though given to the Jewish people, is a blessing for all, not just for the groups these hosts favor. I don’t know whether the hosts intend to share these divisive views or just nonchalantly let them slip. But I certainly urge listeners to be cautious of any content that seeks to divide us against one another based on race, sex, or origin.
