Podcast Nation: Jewish on the Go

podcast

Who said Jewish learning necessarily means sitting next to a table and reading from a big book in Hebrew or Aramaic? It might sound revolutionary, but you can study Torah, or at least engage in inspiring, thought provoking and refreshing Jewish content while working out, driving or working in your garden by listening to one of the many Jewish related podcasts available online. With the Global Day of Jewish Learning coming on Sunday, November 12, we thought this is the perfect opportunity to introduce the most refreshing, intelligent and innovative Jewish content podcasts we love. Be part of the learning from wherever you are or join us on campus for a thought-provoking talk by Rabbi Peretz Wolf-Prusan.

ISRAEL

Israel Story tells modern tales from an ancient land—the kind of stories you’d share with a friend over a plate of hummus on a Friday afternoon (In the style of This American Life).

The Israel Hour plays Israeli music with relevance to Israel current events, the stories behind the songs and listeners’ requests.
