The Genuine Judaism Podcast

Egypt is decimated. Pharaoh's people are suffering, much like the suffering they forced the Ivrim to undergo all that time. Pharaoh and Egypt are shown sign after sign, plague after plague, calamity after calamity, that Hashem is with the Jewish people. But Pharaoh and the Egyptians remain stubborn. 

Check out this podcast and more Torah thoughts on the Parsha at our website, genuinejudaism.org.

Wait, an episode about Pharaoh? Isn't he bad? YES, but we often do not understand the true depths of his (or in this case, their) evil! Tune in to understand more deeply, and from the simple reading of the Torah, just how bad this (these) Pharoah(s) were!

What can we learn from the story of Yehudah? Why is he the father of Israelite leaders? Why will Mashiach come from him? Listen to the story as summarized from the text and draw your source of inspiration, however it may come about. 

Hello to all and Happy Chanukah! 

This continues from where we left off last week. Yehudah is seen once again stepping in and stepping up for what is right and for his family. Tune in to get the pure parsha details from the Torah.

We are all familiar with the story of Yoseph and the brothers selling him. His false accusation in Egypt and miraculous rise. But there is a character that is arguably just as important. A man who is the father of Israelite Kings, the father of David and the father of the Messiah. This man is Yehudah. 

Let us delve deeper into the story of a man whose redemption is the catalyst for the redemption of the Jewish people. From selfishness to selflessness, Yehudah is a truly astonishing figure.

Hello everyone and happy Thanksgiving weekend!

The podcast will be taking a new trajectory, one that should be more consistent and frequent, as well as give meaning to our communal weekly Parsha reading. 

At the moment, the focus of the podcast will shift from Jewish traditions to giving an overview of the lesser spoken about stories in the Parsha. 

I hope this new approach will make the podcast more relatable and palatable, as well as give you something to think about.

Hello everyone, 

I wanted to issue a long overdue apology as to the lack of episodes. Baruch Hashem all for good reasons. 

I hope to be more consistent with uploads and I am excited about the new trajectory of the podcast!

2 Jews 3 Opinions you say? Well in this episode we have 2 Jews but there are definitely way more than 3 opinions. The goal here being to give everyone a clear idea of the different approaches me and Dovid take toward our Jewish observance. 

Tune in to hear how Dovidchai and Dovid approach their Judaism in our own unique fashion and how we differ in our approaches to Torah & science. 

Is the Torah a book of science? Does science lending authenticity to the Torah detract or add to the Torah's beauty? What can we learn from our Sages? What can we add? 

Listen to all this and more in this episode of the Genuine Judaism podcast.
