The Jewish Thought Project Efroni Schlesinger
-
- Religion & Spirituality

We consume ideas in small, scattered pieces. As a result, we have little clarity or depth of understanding on the most fundamental questions of our beliefs. My goal is to educate the Jewish community on authentic Jewish Thought in a clear and engaging way.
In this podcast, we'll explore the domain of Jewish thought in a deep and comprehensive manner. We'll looks at big picture philosophical questions as well as the smaller nuances that exist in all areas of belief. We'll also sit down with different Jewish leaders and discuss contemporary issues, current events, and the Jewish Year Cycle.

Should We Show Mercy to Our Enemies- Learning For Israel

Are All Prayers Answered- Learning For Israel
One of the most difficult religious struggles to grapple with is unanswered tefilot. We can pour our hearts out to God for days or weeks, but when we aren't answered it's extremely difficult to keep going. And sometimes, when the answer comes it's not what we were hoping for. We're going to look at precedent in the Torah for unanswered prayers and how to handle them.

Is Fear a Lack of Faith- Learning For Israel
It's a frighting and uncertain time for Klal Yisrael. We are being threatened on multiple borders and are awaiting an imminent ground invasion. The Torah tells us very clearly not to be afraid in these circumstances. But Why? What is so bad about such a natural emotional response and what, if anything, can be done about it?

Celebrating The Death of Our Enemies- Learning For Israel

Coming Together As One- Learning For Israel
We've all felt in the past week how in times of great difficulty Am Yisrael joins together in a way that knows no bounds. The roots of our interconnectivity run deep and are hinted to in the very first encounter that Hashem has with Avraham Avinu. Today we explore those roots in depth.
