| The Hidden House | 20 Sep 2026 | 00:04:19 | |
Why are we drawn to what we can't quite see? Rabbi ShlomoLevin reflects on a house he passes on his walks - almost entirely hidden behind trees, and far more intriguing than the grand homes standing fully exposed beside it. A meditation on dignity, on what we choose to hold back, and on why what is most precious about a person can never really be displayed.

| A Walk in the Park | 13 Sep 2026 | 00:04:34 | |
On a beautiful day in one of London's best parks, almosteveryone was staring at their phone instead of the view.

| Four Children | 06 Sep 2026 | 00:04:35 | |
What happens when you ask children to rewrite the TenCommandments in their own words?

| Some People Hate Me | 23 Aug 2026 | 00:05:18 | |
Rabbi Shlomo Levin reflects on a hard truth: some peoplehate him without ever knowing him, simply because he is Jewish. He traces the long history of antisemitism through to Britain today, and its cost to society - before ending with a message of hope: hate is learned, and it can be unlearned.

| Indian Railway Station | 16 Aug 2026 | 00:05:05 | |
What if the secret to starting your day well has nothing todo with religion at all?

Can a Jew and a Muslim build a real relationship without ever discussing theology?

| Man Up | 02 Aug 2026 | 00:04:20 | |
Is the perfect man tough and dominant, or gentle and self-controlled?

| It's not fair | 26 Jul 2026 | 00:06:02 | |
A heart attack. An intensive care ward. And a widow's cry that never really faded. Rabbi Shlomo Levin reflects on the night that changed his life 25years ago, and what it means to live in a universe that doesn't run on fairness — not with despair, but by asking what to do next.

| Patrick | 19 Jul 2026 | 00:04:25 | |
Patrick was a security guard, an ex-Marine, a gentle giant — and a man who once told Rabbi Shlomo Levin he didn't know who he was. In Episode 4, that quiet confession becomes a meditation on rootedness: why knowing where we come from is the rock our stability rests on, and what a culture risks losing when it forgets its roots. New episodes every week, usuallyunder 4 minutes. Substack: https://rabbishlomolevin.substack.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rabbishlomolevin | |||
| The Far Side of the Moon | 12 Jul 2026 | 00:05:19 | |
What happens when every support system disappears at once? Rabbi Shlomo Levin connects the Artemis II astronauts' 40 minutes of silence behind the Moon, a mentor's method of leaving troubled teenagers alone in a forest overnight, and the biblical story of Jacob stripped of everything he relied on — and finds the same truth in all three: an inner scaffolding that remains even when the outer one falls away.

| The Mansion | 05 Jul 2026 | 00:05:33 | |
A visit to a magnificent house turns into a lesson about the one thing that holds every relationship together: trust. Rabbi Shlomo Levin reflects on a private conversation with a man convinced his wife was having an affair, and what it reveals about betrayal, self-worth, and why even love can't survive without trust. Under 4 minutes, every week. Substack: https://rabbishlomolevin.substack.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rabbishlomolevin | |||
| New Beginnings Are Harder | 05 Jul 2026 | 00:03:27 | |
