  • Most interesting and inspiring Jewish podcast!

    I am always listening to podcasts and keep on returning to this one. The guests are great and Rabbi Shlomo Buxbaum is great at guiding the conversations and asking all of the questions that are on my mind. I also very much enjoy the solo episodes especially the ones on the Kabbalah of the Hebrew Alphabet and the Wisdom of the Jewish months. Thank you Rabbi Shalom!
