  • Miss the KI Torah Class!

    The Rosh Hashanah sermon reminded me of how much I wish the weekly Torah class recordings. Please post them again! Your discussions were so thoughtful and deep, and your unique perspectives really helped me through hard times.

  • Wonderful

    This podcast is in-depth, but not overwhelming. It reminds me of a “College Torah/Old Testament 150 Class” and would likely be appreciated by people from many religious traditions. The rabbi is interesting and does a great job of keeping everyone engaged, without “lowering” herself to doing silly jokes that tend to fall flat, especially in today’s “Zoom” culture.

  • Best parsha podcast you’ve never heard of

    The Rabbi has a great wit and great depth of historical and cultural knowledge, as well as a modern critical lens - you learn a lot and never have to suspend any disbelief to get meaning out of each podcast. It’s like taking a class every week with a favorite professor!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ki Teitze: Finding What We Have Lost
Q: What does it mean for us as Jews, and how is this teaching applicable to everybody?
This teaching is universal and reflects on our interconnectedness and responsibility towards others, transcending just Jewish identity.
Re'eh: Sacrifice or Ethics?
Q: What was revolutionary about Deuteronomy?
It emphasizes ethical behavior as a means to influence societal outcomes rather than relying solely on ritual and sacrifice.
Vayakhel: Can One Give Too Much?
Q: Is there a conflict between doing things that bring us joy on Shabbat and taking a break from our passion?
It can be complex; if writing helps you re-selfify and is joyful, it can be acceptable on Shabbat, but the goal is to find balance and rest too.
Vayakhel: Can One Give Too Much?
Q: What are we supposed to do with a piece of material that encourages us to have a limitation when it comes to the generosity of material items?
We either tell people thank you, but we don't need it, or we accept the donation and re-gift it if we don't need it.
Pekudei: Renewing Torah And Ourselves
Q: How do we make sense of the High Holidays in this interpretation?
The High Holidays are a time for reflection and assessment of how we live up to our values, marking the end of the agricultural cycle.
