    Married to Israel (Isaiah 62:4-5)

    Married to Israel (Isaiah 62:4-5)

    Isaiah 62:4-5

    No longer will they call you Deserted,
        or name your land Desolate.
    But you will be called Hephzibah,
        and your land Beulah;
    for the Lord will take delight in you,
        and your land will be married.
    As a young man marries a young woman,
        so will your Builder marry you;
    as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
        so will your God rejoice over you.

A MUST for Jewish scholars

I love how this podcast tackles real issues from a feminist halachic stance. This is intellectually stimulating and highly engaging!

Eeeewww

Why is this creep “rabbi” getting so turned on in middle of this?!?!?

How dare you call yourself orthodox

This podcast reminds me of a story of a restaurant in Paris.
The restaurant was owned by a non-religious Israeli, written in big Hebrew letters Kosher on the front of the restaurant.
In this case this restaurant was anything but kosher, however deceiving the uneducated naive tourists who are unfamiliar with the area snagging them into the restaurant.
This podcast is exactly that! Calling yourself orthodox, religious at the very same time going totally against the Torah by twisting and manipulating the words into “what G-D meant in 2022”, and by you being a “Rabbi“ makes this obviously OK.
I’m totall on board with conversation, discussion, new ideas.
But don’t you ever think for a second that what you’re doing is in anyway kosher or okay.
Again, I want to clarify I’m not telling you that you should shut down the podcast, however just rebrand it nothing to do with Judaism.
Because what your doing serving Chazer Treif and labeling it kosher.
