  • Excellent!

    Zohar Ammud Yomi is a daily podcast that covers an ammud, that is, a single side of an Aramaic page of Zohar, the text(s) at the heart of Jewish mysticism.

    Rabbi Ben Newman chants and reads both the lyrical Aramaic and the corresponding English translation delivering beautiful bite-sized chunks of the rich text making it simpler to absorb.

    This podcast is an excellent resource for people interested in reading The Zohar: Prizker Edition in Aramaic and English, and anyone who has the desire to st... more

  • Wonderful resource

    The previous reviewer clearly has no idea of the intent of this podcast. It is Rabbi Ben Newman's own personal daily reading which is in conjunction with a group of people reading and commenting online on the Ammud Yomi Facebook page. If you look, there are classes here as well, in addition to some hevruta sessions. But yes, most of the recordings are a simple straight reading of the Aramaic with Professor Daniel Matt's English translation. Rabbi Newman is an ordained rabbi and has a Masters in ... more

  • Unworthy of serious consideration

    This podcast is a joke right? The "Rabbi" must know that discussing the Zohar specifically and Kabbalah in general takes more than simply reading a text. It takes a deep understanding of both the written text and the supporting biblical/Talmudic texts as well.

    Further, the "Rabbi" has a voice that is borderline excruciating. Monotone and dull, almost illiterate hebrew in addition to horrible production values. I am astonished that there is so little self-awareness from the facilitator of thi... more
