  • Inspirational and informative

    If you’re looking for a lifeline to Judaism, to form a connection with the religion or understanding it or seeing it through the perspective of some of the great leaders of our times and the past, I highly recommend you listen to this podcast it’s presented in a very easy to digest format with no intention of persuading you of anything, but just sharing some of the beauty that we have in Judaism.

    This podcast brings discussion. I do not agree always with the veiwpoints in this podcast. There are times that I do not agree at all. Matter of a fact I often stay away from modernity, Respecting from a distance. This is why I listen. Not often are there people who present controversial ideas with the respect of other people and their perspectives. A person really wants to feel safe to open up. A person needs to hear what they think and needs to react to contrary ideas in a kosher way. BH

  • 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.
