YourTorah is designed as an introduction to the 63 tractates (books) of Mishnah and is taught by women. In each 18 minute podcast you'll find the overview of one tractate, with a sample mishnah and a practical take-away. YourTorah is a project of JOFA UK designed as a special invitation to women & girls to make Torah study ‘their thing’ - though men are of course welcome to join too.
