I’m 15 mins or so into the first episode and was looking forward to hearing about the history of the Jewish people. Then this “rabbi “ says Esau was the father of Christianity. That is a false and absurd claim to make.
Great podcast. They are incredibly informative and enjoyable. Very well researched, and Rabbi Wolbe is extremely articulate.
Rabbi Wolbe, if you’re reading this, I want to thank you for your Shiurim. They’ve had a huge impact on me. Thank you!
I can’t remember the last day I didn’t listen to this podcast. Rabbi Wolbe’s two-parter on the The Six Day War is one of the best battle stories I’ve ever heard told, equally informative and engaging.
תודה רבה לך הרב
Shallow and uninteresting, and very very long winded
Excellent historical and modern analysis in this podcast. Perfectly weaved into modern political/religious/geographic order to answer the question and absurdity of a two state solution as a response to the October terrorist attack on Israel.
