  • Uneducated about their own faith

    The Talmud says “the founder of Christianity (Jesus) has been sentenced to boil in feces! A pile of boiling feces! Excrement from the bowels of humans, cats, dogs, lions, and tigers!!” Don’t listen to these guys lie about what Jews preach

    This is a really funny and educational podcast, with well laid out and clear and systematic explanations of Judaism from a Chabad point of view. The back and forth between the Rabbi, his daughter Chayaleah, and Jay are very entertaining.
