Laymen Learn Torah

Two angels walk into the city gates...no, this isn't the beginning of a terrible joke, it's the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. We try to untangle Lot's strange decisions, grapple with giant saltshakers, and establish that Sarah is still a fox at 90.

In this episode, we discuss the drama between Abraham's two ladies, and how the Torah handles the first recorded marital spat.

Joy and Sylia explore the place of Abraham's nephew, Lot, in the story. They also delve into the importance of suffering in the Jewish experience, and yet still manage to be entertaining.

In which we explore Hashem's choice of Abram as is go-to guy as his chosen one!

After a couple of very entertaining years learning Torah together in a women's Bet Midrash, we (Joy and Sylia) realized that the voice of the average woman was missing from Torah discussions. We're here to show you that YOU have a place in the discussion, too! You're not a rabbi? You're not a professor? You haven't been to Yeshivah? EVER???? That's okay. JOIN US!

In this episoe, we introduce what this podcast is all about.
