I went through five years of Hebrew school, receiving the hollowest of education in my culture. We were only ever asked to believe holiday stories and learn the sounds of letters. It turned me away from Judaism completely. It’s information like this that’s helping me see the richness of my...Read full review »

I’m so glad i found this podcast. i’ve been a listener to this for a few years. some episodes i’ve listen to many times because there was so much information…..expansive historical knowledge. I haven’t found an inaccuracy yet. Because of my faith I haven’t listened to any episodes pertaining...Read full review »

In Episode 32 on False Messiahs, he makes several erroneous statements when addresses Jesus Christ (whom he will only refer to as ‘JC’) and Christianity’s claims and documents, which undermines his presentation. For example, he says that even Jesus’ followers claimed he broke Sabbath laws, which...Read full review »

Rabbi Wolbe is a great orator and storyteller. It truly is a pleasure to listen to his lectures about our history. I hope you continue putting out new episodes! May you go from strength to strength. Menashe from Australia.

The title says it all. Worth your precious and limited time. Thank you Rabbi Yakov.

Can’t get enough! Rabbi Wolbe’s understanding of history, along with his encyclopedic knowledge of Torah, pairs beautifully with his control of the english language for a Symphonic like Torah Lecture.

Highly recommend this thoroughly researched and eloquently presented series of podcasts. Excellent content. I’ve learned so much.

I love history and happy to listen to Jewish History to tap into another world . However this podcast is not amicable to non Jews
Susan EH via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/19/21
I listened to every one of these and I can’t get enough, I also think you have a truly blessed voice and way of expressing your self that it is very pleasant to listen to. My only critic is that we need more episodes😀

Down to a fine art of podcasting.
09Eman09 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/20
I would like to start off by saying that although I’m a fan of rabbi Wolbe and his podcasts, as with everything in life I pride myself by the honesty and unbiased stances I take on different subject matters. I wanted to respond to a couple of critics who I thought wrote unfair and simply untrue...Read full review »

I accidentally stumbled onto this amazing podcast and loved every second of it. Thank you so much for creating such a clear and lucid interesting historical perspective on the muscle movement as well as the other things that I haven’t even listen to at this point I can’t wait.
yesayesa via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/16/20
This is a highly credulous rendition of Jewish history, not suitable for anyone seeking an accurate account of actual events. If one wants a faith-affirming narrative untroubled by critical thought, maybe this will satisfy. If one wants an attempt at objectivity and truth, look elsewhere.
Kronos972 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/09/20
Incredibly high quality history of the subject in question. Engaging, pleasant voice, well researched, personable. This podcast enables me to have access to Jewish history that just seems out of reach for me to learn on my own and transforms that into an engaging hour.
Andrew Elliot via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/15/20
I have been converting to Judaism for about 18 months now and Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe has been right there through-out my journey. He provides meaning, context and relevance. Super grateful to have stumbled on his podcasts as it’s my favourite way or learning new information!
ivk11 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/18/20
I started listening to Rabbi Wolbe’s podcasts a few months ago and dived in deeply to binge during the quarantine time at home in Australia. I shared some of his thoughts about Biblical plagues at our seders. He is so knowledgeable and presents in a very clear and engaging way without dumbing is...Read full review »

Takes away all the boring angles learned in Yeshiva. This is very interesting and shows how throughout history Jews loved material and mundane lives within the laws of Judaism
vloyinatchu via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/02/20
Greatly informative, this podcast is one from which I have learned perhaps more than from any other and I listen to quite a few. I look forward to every episode.
RebbeSoul via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/20
I’m not Jewish. But I have found the series in the Yom Kippur war extremely interesting. It has been very well researched and is delivered in a professional manner.

In episode 43 at about 9:50 you doubt the "historicity" of the story of Shimon HaTzadik recorded in the Gemara YomaRead full review »

Awesome. Informative. Jewish history has a perspective that is fresh and radically informative unlike the regular secular histories that leave out pertinent info.
bjangs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/20/19
To much history and and not a lot of stories . (Sample Hanukkah story is history.
coco roxx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/18/19
This is a wonderful podcast with an unbelievable amount of information laid out very clearly and thoroughly. I highly recommend.
captivated123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/25/19
Rabbi Wolbe is a brilliant educator, well researched, detailed and interesting podcasts that flow and keep you’re attention all the way through. Thank you so much for this podcast series.
i_jonog via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/14/19
Informative and interesting. This is an easy listen that also keeps you entertained.
Mmarkus1984 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/08/19
Was curious until quite literally within the first minute you said, “Moses was the best leader we or frankly any people ever had.” Statements like that get you categorized into “ignorant” in my book. Good luck.
Hear-n-Now via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/15/19
This is a well done podcast. Rabbi Wolbe’s Parsha Poscast is even better.
TLH traveller via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/02/19
Thanks for all the work you do to help us understand Jewish history.
ShawnGaran via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/19/19
This podcast is honestly the best. Rabbi Wolbe is very knowledgeable, and translates the Jewish history in a way that you won’t fall asleep.
So. So. Good. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/08/19
The podcast flows smoothly. The topics are well researched. Tremendous details are conveyed effortlessly. It is a joy to listen.
Jonathan Burstein via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/19
Rabbi Wolbe’s history lectures are clear and easy to follow. He also brings interesting insights and connections that bring Jewish history into color. I love listening!!

I have learned so much about the God’s chosen people. This has transformed my commute and I like how he is easy to follow and all he details g he provides
amamacas74 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/21/19
Each podcast has taught me something new, despite my strong knowledge of Jewish history. Please keep it up. One request: please post sources.
Moshe Po via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/11/19
I loved this, until the rabbi made sweeping generalizations about Muslims in episode 59. I am Jewish and I support Israel, but I must speak up against Islamophobic language, as Muslims are our brothers. I understand the points expressed are the rabbi’s individual interpretation of the sages’...Read full review »

Live listening and learn each time I listen again plus increased my exposure to new vocabulary Words, which was a Suprise.
kiyosaki & Creature from jekyl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/17/18
This podcast completely transformed my commute. So clear, so objective, so beautifully done. There is no Hebrew jargon so it truly is easy for anybody to understand. Love it!!!! Keep it coming Rabbi Wolbe!!!!

I literally can’t get enough. A must listen!
Joe Grob via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/05/18
Rabbi Wolbe conveys his incredible wealth of information in such a clear and easy to understand fashion. He is extremely enjoyable to listen to. This podcast and all the others I’ve heard from Rabbi Wolbe are truly fantastic.
LoveTearn176 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/02/18
I have listened to about one third of these podcasts and they are informative, clear, and most importantly LOUD. That helps me hear it on my motorcycle unlike other podcasts. Thank you!
MadMotorcyclist via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/30/18
Thoughtful and detailed Jewish history and Torah! Love it!
