The balance of my Yeshiva Education
Many concepts i can share in any jewish discussion are valuable
History maniac
Amazing classes but you tell since he’s modern orthodox he does not understand a lot of yahadus type of ideas/stories like he didn’t understand the story of the chofetz Chaim fighting communism or prouncing like rav steinmann name
My commute podcast of choice
This podcast is a good time.
Dr. Shapiro shares his wide breadth of knowledge spanning halakha, Jewish thought, history, rabbinic literature in a fun and exciting way.
Every podcast starts off with what is colloquially known in the yeshivas as “pre-shiur hock”—talking about random topics he was emailed about or follow up from previous lectures. Then Dr. Shapiro hits you with a torpedo of history, stories, personal anecdotes, and Torah. At once fun and engaging, and also substantive and enlightening.
