  • Fantastic Podcast

    I listen to this and/or Rabbi Wolbe’s “Jewish History” podcast EVERY DAY, and I’m not even Jewish (yet).

    Rabbi Wolbe’s energetic yet approachable speaking style is almost as enjoyable as his knowledge and passion for Torah and history.

    I highly recommend listening to the rebroadcasts as well, as he tends to have a different take/focus every year.

    תודה רבה לך הרב
