| SPECIAL EPISODE - Around The Table with Marshall Duke and Rebecca Winter | 10 Apr 2025 | 00:57:28 | |
This special pre-Pesach episode features a fascinating conversation recorded live in Atlanta with Dr. Marshall Duke and Dr. Rebecca Winter, moderated by Aryeh Grossman, to mark the release of 'The Parsha' by Emily Amrousi. As we prepare for Pesach, a festival centered around storytelling and passing down our heritage, this conversation feels especially timely. We explore the power of knowing our stories, helping our children understand where they come from, and finding meaningful ways to engage with the weekly parasha — especially as we journey through the complex topics of Sefer Vayikra. The Parasha set by Emily Amrousi is available now at korenpub.com. ______________________________________________________________ The Parasha by Emily Amrousi | | Get 10% off your next order from www.korenpub.com with code PODCAST at checkout.

| Tisha B'Av | 06 Aug 2024 | 02:05:44 | |
As we prepare for Tisha B’Av, we need little reminding of how fragile and fraught our existence as Jews can be even here in Israel. There have been daily reminders since Simchat Torah of the harsh realities of being a Jew whether in Eretz Yisrael or the diaspora. | |||
| Shulie Mishkin | 23 Jul 2024 | 00:36:48 | |
Join us for this week's episode of The Koren Podcast Al Regel Ahat where Aryeh talks to tour guide and experiential Jewish educator Shuli Mishkin about the benefits of learning Torah out in the land, a topic particularly pertinent to the period of the Three Weeks leading into Tisha B'Av. Shulie Mishkin made Aliyah from New York with a Master's degree in Jewish History from Columbia University. After completing the Ministry of Tourism guide course in 1997, she began guiding professionally and has since taught and guided all ages, from toddlers to retirees.

Alongside her regular guide work, she teaches "tour and text" courses in the Jerusalem institutions of Pardes and Matan, and provides tours for special needs students in the “Darkaynu” program. Shulie lives in Alon Shvut with her husband Jonathan and their five kids.

| Yom HaZikaron - Yosef Guedalia hy"d | 07 May 2024 | 01:39:58 | |
In this deeply moving episode of the Koren Podcast, Al Regel Ahat, we have the honor of sitting down with David, Asher, and Charlie Guedalia, as they share the remarkable story of their beloved son and brother, Yosef. Yosef's name has become synonymous with courage, sacrifice, and heroism. On that fateful day in Kfar Aza, Yosef fearlessly put himself in harm's way to save the lives of countless others. His selfless act of bravery serves as a shining example of the unwavering spirit of the Jewish people. As we approach Yom HaZikaron, a time of solemn reflection and remembrance, Yosef's memory burns brightly in our hearts. His legacy reminds us of the profound depths of love and sacrifice that define our nation. Throughout the episode, David, Asher, and Charlie share intimate stories of Yosef's life, his unwavering commitment to his family, to Judaism and learning Torah, and to his beloved wife Sinai. Their heartfelt words paint a poignant picture of a true hero, whose spirit continues to inspire and uplift us all. Join us as we honor the memory of Yosef Geudalia, a beacon of light in the darkness, and celebrate the remarkable legacy he leaves behind. ______________________________________________________________ | | Get 10% off your next order from www.korenpub.com with code PODCAST at checkout.

| Rabbi Daniel Feldman | 16 Apr 2024 | 00:37:52 | |
Have you ever wondered why sometimes halakha seems immovable but other times it seems flexible and full of workarounds? We can't own hametz on Pesah so we just sell it to a non-Jew. First borns must fast on erev-Pesah, just make a siyum! Rabbi Daniel Feldman explores these topics and more in his new book Letter and Spirit: Evasions, Avoidance, and Workarounds in the Halakhic System. But these aren't just distinct mechanisms to make a halakhic lifestyle easier, they are part of a broader and beautiful framework for a Jew to connect with Hashem.

How can we relate to the 3 Weeks? What is the lesson to be learned from Tisha B'Av? Is there a universal message to the book of Eikha (Lamentations) or is it something to read just once a year? We were joined by Dr. Yael Ziegler to talk to gain inspiration, and direction for this time of year. Yael's unique approach to the book of Eikha and how it relates to the rest of Tanakh, as well as revealing themes that are mirrored in the daily prayers shines a new light on the darkest period of the Jewish calendar. ______________________________________________________________ Lamentations: Faith in a Turbulent World Ruth: From Alienation to Monarchy https://korenpub.com/collections/3-weeks-and-9-av | | Get 10% off your next order from www.korenpub.com with code PODCAST at checkout.

| Michael Oren | 06 Jun 2023 | 00:50:20 | |
What does the future hold for Israel? For the Jews? For the Peace Process? Of course, nobody knows but if there were to be one voice to listen to to make predictions it would be Michael Oren's. Michael has spent most of his life dedicated to public service in Israel and abroad. He has spent time in government and diplomacy. Before that, he spent some time working as a cowboy. Michael, an already accomplished historian, turns his eye to writing not about history but about the future. in 2048 The Rejuvenated State he sets out his vision for the next 25 years of the Jewish State. He raises the key issues that must be addressed as Israel approaches her 100th birthday. From the Palestinian conflict to citizenship, judicial reform, healthcare, education, diplomacy, and more, Israel has much to be proud of, but a lot of work is yet to do.

| Rena Quint | 17 Apr 2023 | 00:57:07 | |
It was a profound privilege to be invited into the home of Holocaust survivor Rena Quint to hear her story. We are truly grateful that Rena allowed us to record her story for a special episode of the Kore Podcast Al Regal Ahat for Yom HaShoah 2023. Rena was born in Freida Lichtenstein in Pietrokow, Poland in 1936. By age 3 she was imprisoned in the Pietrokow Ghetto and by age 6 was a prisoner in Bergen-Belsen. It was thanks to the women she has come to call her many mothers that she was able to survive, was brought to New York, and eventually adopted by Jacob and Leah Globe. Now the mother of 4 children, grandmother to 22, and great-grandmother to (as of two weeks ago) 44. Rena lives in Jerusalem and tells her story to thousands every year. Rena's book A Daughter of Many Mothers: Her Horrific Childhood and Wonderful Life tells her story and how she came to find evidence of the life she only suspected she had. ______________________________________________________________ Useful Links: A Daughter of Many Mothers: Her Horrific Childhood and Wonderful Life USC Shoah Foundation Interview with Rena Quint

| Gorf | 28 Feb 2023 | 00:43:59 | |
With Purim just around the corner Aryeh and Alex sat down with the incredible, unstoppable, and incomparable Jordan B. Gorfinkel - better known as Gorf! Gorf is the mastermind behind the new Koren Tanakh Graphic Novel series launched this year with Esther! Gorf is also the architect of the world-famous Passover Haggada Graphic Novel which has been a bestseller every year since its publication in 2019. Outside the Jewish World, or perhaps in a different part of it, Gorf served as the manager of the Batman series at DC Comics for nearly a decade. He oversaw Birds of Prey which was later adapted into a 2022 TV series and a 2020 movie. He also directed the Batman: No Man's Land series which served as the inspiration for The Dark Night Rises and season 5 of the TV series Gotham. Gorf shares his vision for Jewish education, a word he tries to avoid in favor of 'illuminating' for the next generation.

| Go out and dance in the vineyards - Israel's wine and viniculture with Sam Baum | 09 Aug 2022 | 00:54:31 | |
After the 9 Days and a pretty brutal week for Israel, we thought it might be nice to sit back with a nice glass of wine and talk about something a little lighter. With agriculture, and the grape harvest starting on or around Tu B'Av (15th Av), what better topic for an episode than Israel's growing wine industry! Alex spent an afternoon strolling through the vineyards in the hills just outside Jerusalem with one of Israel's up-and-coming vintners, Sam Baum. Sam works at one of Israel's leading wine producers and has spent his adult life learning everything there is to know about growing and tending to the grapes in order to produce some truly fantastic wines. Sam and his wife Rivky also launched their own label this year, Family Baum Winery with a view to producing Israel's best red wine. The cultivation of grapes and the production of wine has always played an important role in the Holy Land and Sam is just the latest in a long line of world-class kosher vintners. Sam's passion for wine production, the land, the people, and the God of Israel come through and inspire everything he does.

| Kosher Fertility with Dr. Bat-Sheva Maslow, MD | 19 Jul 2022 | 00:45:01 | |
The first mitzva in the Torah is to be fruitful and multiply but to some people, this is easier said than done. There are many couples for whom the dream of starting their family is a cause of anxiety and pain when things don't go as planned. This week's guest, Dr. Bat-Sheva Maslow, MD works closely with couples facing difficulties in their journey to starting their families, with women looking to prolong fertility and, as an orthodox Jew and the Director of Medical Curriculum at Nishmat's Miriam Glaubach Center for North American Yoatzot Halacha, she works with halachic advisors and decision makers to look after, not just her patient's physical welfare, but their spiritual wellbeing as well.

| The Value of Friendship with Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz and Rabbi Shalom Rosner | 17 May 2022 | 00:59:13 | |
We decided to dedicate an episode of The Koren Podcast to friendship. We all know that the mourning observed during Sefirat HaOmer is due to the lack of respect shown by the students of Rabbi Akiva to each other. Just in time for Lag BaOmer, we had the chance to speak with two people who live and breathe friendship as a Torah value. Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz, director of Semicha at RIETS and Rabbi of Beis HaKnesses of North Woodmere, and Rabbi Shalom Rosner, Ram at Yeshivat Kerem B'Yavneh and Rabbi of Kehillat Nofei HaShemesh, have been friends and hevrutot for more than 20 years. Rabbis Rosner and Lebowitz, on top of their professional and pastoral duties, both deliver daf yomi shiurim online to thousands upon thousands of people every day, to say nothing of their respective halakha, parasha, tanakh, hashkafa, and many other shiurim besides. We spoke about their friendship and its importance on their journeys to becoming leaders of Modern Orthodoxy today, their inspirations, the value of friendship in general, and what it takes to build successful, modern orthodox communities in America and in Israel. It was such an honor to spend time in the presence of these two truly great friends as they shared words of inspiration, words of Torah, and teased each other just a little bit. ______________________________________________________________ Useful Links: Shalom Rav: Insights on the Weekly Parasha volumes 1 and 2 by Rabbi Shalom Rosner Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz's Daf Yomi Shiur Rabbi Shalom Rosner's Daf Yomi Shiur Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz on Twitter Rabbi Rosner's recorded Shiurim Rabbi Lebowitz's recorded Shiurim | | Get 10% off your next order from www.korenpub.com with code PODCAST at checkout.

| Building Independence with Asher Cailingold | 03 May 2022 | 01:11:39 | |
Hag HaAtzma'Ut Sameah! Happy 74th Israel Independence Day! Asher Cailingold was born in London, England in 1930 to one of the few Religious Zionist families living there at the time and, inspired by the examples set for them by their parents, he and his two sisters all played active roles in the building of the Jewish State. Tune in to hear the mind-blowing story of his life, and the lives of the now renowned Cailingold and Avner families. Asher's story is at times tragic and at others uplifting and inspiring.

| Seder Night Chat with Rabbi Haim Jachter | 07 Apr 2022 | 00:48:30 | |
Start preparing for Seder night! Alex and Aryeh are joined by Rabbi Haimer Jachter, author of Reason to Believe and Bridging Traditions, to share some of his insight as an Ashkenazi Rabbi leading a Sepharadi community. Talk ranges from the importance of tradition, what binds all Jews together, what Pesah will be like in the Third Beit HaMikdash (the Third Temple in Jerusalem), and of course some beautiful ideas for Pesah to share at your Seder table (with only the briefest discussion about kitniot!) Rabbi Jachter has two books published by Maggid Books which discuss respectively the fundamental reasons for belief in an Orthodox Jewish tradition and the key differences between the two major Jewish communities and how those differences strengthen the Jewish people as a whole. ________________________________________________________________ Useful Links:

| The Ukrainian Refugee Crisis with Zak Jeffay | 13 Mar 2022 | 00:35:39 | |
Far be it from us to offer explanations or analysis of the current conflict in Ukraine but the wave of refugees and displaced persons trying to escape the Russian invasion cannot but pull out our heartstrings. We are so incredibly fortunate that our friend, Zak Jeffay, was able to take a few minutes to sit with us shortly after returning to Israel after spending more than a week on the Polish-Ukrainian border giving whatever help possible to the now more than 2.5million people coming over the border. Zak is a Holocaust educator and tour guide for JRoots, who was leading a group in Poland when the invasion began. Inspired by one of his Polish colleagues, and the students he was with, Zak and JRoots director Tzvi Sperber mobilized their logistical network to find rooms, food, clothing, and other necessities for whoever they could. We hear about the situation on the ground, what is needed most now, the possibility of a long term solution to one of the largest ever human displacements in history, and how Zak's experiences as an educator informed his experiences on the border, and how his experiences have brought to reality some of the lessons he has been teaching for years. Zak will be heading back to the Ukrainian border in just a few days to distribute more aid to those who need it most - to donate to the JRoots campaign visit www.jroots.org/donate or follow the campaign on Facebook @jroots.journeys | |||
