  • Can you keep a non-Haredi audience in mind?

    The topics are interesting until the rabbi lapses into Yiddisms and fails to explain insider terminology as well as frequently moves from an understandable rate of speech to slurring words together. I stsrt an episode, but lack the patience to continue. Too bad. Perhaps this podcast is for current talmidim.
