    I love the openness of Dovid to the different voices/perspectives in Judaism. I think a lot of people will find their way back to the beauty and vitality of Judaism thanks to this podcast. Keep up the incredible work and keep spreading the light.

  • Fantastic

    I’m updating my review to say this is not just a podcast but a tremendous contribution to Jewish life. Dovid brings together voices from across the Jewish world (admittedly with an emphasis on Orthodoxy) and has created an incredible platform for in depth conversations about the future of Judaism. So enriching.
