Welcome to ”Torah from Boca,” the podcast by Rabbi David Baum. Rabbi Baum serves as the first full-time rabbi of Congregation Shaarei Kodesh, a vibrant ’shul’ in West Boca Raton affiliated with USCJ (United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism) since 2009.
Over his 14-year tenure at the congregation and his leadership positions in the South Palm Beach County community, Rabbi Baum has been a dedicated teacher of Torah, sharing its timeless lessons and insights with his community. In ”Torah from Boca,” Rabbi Baum brings this wealth of knowledge and experience directly to your ears.
But why ”Torah from Boca,” you might wonder? Well, ”Boca” in Spanish means ”mouth.” In the Jewish tradition, there is a written Torah, called Torah Sh’BeTichtav, and an oral Torah, called Torah Sh’BeAl Peh, literally from the mouth. I will speak Torah (which is an expansive term), but also welcome others to share their Torah.
Join me as we delve into sacred texts, exploring their relevance in today’s world, and offering thought-provoking perspectives. Whether you’re a lifelong student of Torah or just beginning your exploration, ”Torah from Boca” is your opportunity to engage with ancient wisdom in a modern and meaningful way.
Tune in to discover the beauty, wisdom, and spirituality of Torah, delivered straight from the heart of Boca Raton, Florida. Subscribe now and embark on a journey of learning and inspiration with ”Torah from Boca.”
