    If you’re interested in learning about authentic Judaism, or want to continue growing in your practice of Judaism, Dan’s podcast is a must listen.

    The format is so unique. It could be called, “All I wished I had learned about Judaism in school” (but “The Shema Podcast has a better ring to it, I suppose).

    The podcast helped me so much in my understanding and practice of our beautiful tradition. I’m confident it will do the same for you if you give it a shot.
