  • Insightful, thought provoking, and just the right episode length

    I am on my 2nd round of Nach Yomi and am listening to this perek by perek. Most appealing about this podcast are: the textual connections to other places in Tanakh, the length of sponsors - usually 6-12 minutes- and the musical selection to go with each episode! Thank you for this daily dose of Tanakh 🙏
