  • I love this show

    It is deep enough, but doesn’t require a prior knowledge, and a great introduction to Talmud. Highly recommend it.

  • Talmud for Beginners

    Great intro to Talmud for folks without a lot of background in how to break down the complex text. I love the insights - esp. from R. So if Boshevkin. While Tablet has really started to drift to some uncomfortable rightwing places, this pod is still a great place of enjoyment.

  • Grandfather loves this!

    It is so nice to hear a real person discuss Judaism in the modern world for lay people. I have forward episodes to my five children. And hope that they will pick up the thread. Bless you for your work.
