Meaningful Judaism is a podcast dedicated to exploring why we do what we do in Jewish life, by diving deep into the Torah text. So many of our practices can feel like they’re just there; we go through the motions but they don’t feel especially meaningful. In this podcast, we search for that meaning. Each episode will take you on a journey, tackling questions such as “Why can’t we mix milk and meat... more

  • Compelling, relevant insights for anyone who studies the Bible

    I’ve always wondered if there was more to some of the seemingly obscure laws of the Torah. These episodes employ Aleph Beta’s signature text-centric approach to exploring some of those laws and reveal God’s heart for his creation in surprising and inspiring new ways.

    One of my favorites is about tzitzit - for anyone feeling unworthy or not quite up to the task, check it out!

  • Ok

    Ok cool, but I would like at least one episode where they talk about Torah in light of rabbi Yeshua - there’s over 30K messianic Jews in Israel & countless more worldwide, #1 online search word over past years in Israel is Yeshua.. finally 2000 years of “sages” lies are getting exposed for writing their own invented laws that totally contradict G-ds law and smear the Holy One with their whitewash to glorify themselves. Also, Beth is very articulate and has a nice voice but I wish she would stop ... more

  • It delivers

    In the trailer, Imu expresses his desire to understand the meaning behind Jewish laws and taking us with him while he does it. He is delivering on that promise: along with his guests, Emu dives into Torah text, analyzing and making connections between different parts of the text to bring forth meaning. It’s like being part of a really great Torah study session.
