A NON-JEW, A NOACHITE WHO IS PASSIONATE ABOUT THE JEWISH PEOPLE (AUDIO))ND TORAH: CALEB SCHRAEDER (

This is a wonderful interview with Caleb Shraeder, from Kansas City, who was motivated to let go of Christianity after hitting 'rock bottom' and embrace Judaism and the Torah. In this interview Caleb talks about his transition in life through discussion with Rabbis and learning the Torah portions. Caleb lets us into the trauma he experienced as a nurse, and the philosophy he's developed behind workwork. Caleb is a man with purpose and meaning, who once did not have any. He is a father and says he now has joy in his life.

PARSHA & PROSE: THE TORAH PORTION 'VAYIKRA' AND 'THE LITTLE PRINCE' (Audio)

This is a very exciting PARSHA & PROSE. It is because Rabbi Gemara and I discuss the first parsha in VA'YIKRA (also known as Va'yikra) through the lens of a lovely, warm and compelling book, 'THE LITTLE PRINCE'. Here, the Rabbi explains the ideas of sacrifices in a unqiue and refreshing way, expressing the relationshipal aspect of offering animals to God. He compares this to the beautiful discovery that the little prince makes while on a trip to different planets, one of which is ultimately earth. I was emotional preparing for this podcast, and then questioning my co-host on the essence of the parsha and the book itself. Sometimes, I do an interview which truly moves me, more then others. This episode did. Have a look/a listen. It's a very special time together. I think you'll agree!

PARSHA & PROSE WITH RABBI SHLOMO GEMARA: PARSHAT PIKUDEI & 'THE EMPORERS NEW CLOTHES' (Audio)

This week's "PARSHA & PROSE" offers some deeply meaningful reflections. Rabbi Shlomo Gemara’s discussion of the Torah portion, Pikudei through the lens of 'The Emperor's New Clothes', is highly intriguing. The rabbi ties the intricate beauty of the Tabernacle to a more spiritual perspective, and that is emphasizing the importance of seeing God clearly through the magnificence of the structure and what lies within it. 💠The rabbi also speaks about the young boy in Hans Christian Anderson's story, who sees through the illusion of the emporers clothing (or lack thereof) and speaks the truth. It's interesting how the Rabbi highlights the spiritual intelligence and honesty of children—something he says, encourages him to think about particular questions and ideas in Torah he made not have considered otherwise. One can only imagine that kind of purity in thought could make teaching them especially meaningful. 💠The podcast begins with a trailor from "The Killing Roads" documentary created by Igal Hecht. Avrum had interviewed Igal the day before and wanted to highlight the podcast, the documentary and Igal's brilliance at capturing the tragedy of that day. The podcast concluded with prayers sent out to IDF soldiers, their families, and the hostages still in Gaza. 💠It was a powerful episode!
