We consume ideas in small, scattered pieces. As a result, we have little clarity or depth of understanding on the most fundamental questions of our beliefs. My goal is to educate the Jewish community on authentic Jewish Thought in a clear and engaging way. In this podcast, we'll explore the domain of Jewish thought in a deep and comprehensive manner. We'll looks at big picture philosophical questions as well as the smaller nuances that exist in all areas of belief. We'll also sit down with different Jewish leaders and discuss contemporary issues, current events, and the Jewish Year Cycle.

Should We Show Mercy to Our Enemies- Learning For Israel

Oct 23 2023 11 mins

Are All Prayers Answered- Learning For Israel

Oct 22 2023 11 mins

One of the most difficult religious struggles to grapple with is unanswered tefilot.
