Customer Reviews
Great way to keep learning!!
I love the discussion format of this podcast. I find myself responding to questions or asking my own as I listen. I really feel like I’m actively learning the parsha every week. Some of the concepts brought up are so fundamental and I feel like they can be discussed in isolation for hours!! We get a little taste and then jump into the next concept. It brings the feeling that there is so much wealth of knowledge, depth of understanding and how the Torah is where every concept and fundamental thought and idea comes from! Kol Hakavod!
Now waiting for your Navi podcast 😀
Best way to get ready for Shabbos!
Love this podcast! It’s clear and easy to understand. I save it all week so that have something to look forward to listening to on Thursday night while cooking and cleaning for Shabbos :)
