  • Real Judaism

    This all resonates with me and makes so much sense. This is content that I can sync my teeth into, I love Meir Solevechik. The content resonates with me and so much of this information is lost in today’s Judaism.

  • Amit Segal on Hostage Taking

    An excellent piece. I wish Segal could provide statistics on how many Israelis have been attacked and killed by released hostages to provide at least a starting point for assessing his important point that trading hostages has real costs.

  • The Real Deal

    For those of us (Jews and non-Jews) looking for undiluted, strong, thinking Jewish perspective on events impacting Jews and Israel, this is an excellent podcast. Why listen to garbage filling the airwaves when you can open your mind? I suppose habits are hard to break. Didn’t October 7th shatter a bunch of delusions? Maybe worth looking at Jewish life in the USA from a new point of view? I think so. Go Tikvah!
