Loopholes
The logic used in this podcast so often seems to go opposite to how it should in religion of commandments with these loopholes; they say "this is what I want to do, so let me find any piece of scripture that can be stretched to permit it". I'm by no means a perfect nor always great Jew, but I think it's better to apologize to G-d and ask forgiveness for shortcomings, not to find a loophole. That being said, I do like the educational elements to this show, or when relationships are examined without resorting to finding hard-to-believe loopholes.Read full review »

Great concept, but not good if you want a true Torah Observant perspective on these topics. As another reviewer mentioned, this show is almost entirely about finding loopholes in Halacha and in doing so making Jewish law more palatable to those who don’t really want to follow it anyway.

I love how this podcast tackles real issues from a feminist halachic stance. This is intellectually stimulating and highly engaging!
