I listen to thought for the day last thing before I go to sleep- and my favorite is Sir Mirvis. Every sentence has a deeper meaning. The warm, kind voice is like a comforting blanket, the message clear with hope for the world.
Some sentences I write down. Pls come on air more often

I am a Christian but I find the contributions from a Jewish perspective very wise, kind, thoughtful and comforting- five stars for this when he and his colleagues contribute. I find some of the Christian commentators not in the same league!
