A must listen.
WOW! Just wow!
Must Listen for Every Jew
I have read multiple times Ramchal’s “The Way if G-d” but the brilliant exchange between Rabbi Bucsko and Joe Amar have taken my understanding of this subject material to a new level. When a Jew understands the system that Hashem created, it can not leave a Jew with more passion in their fulfillment of His mitzvos and Torah learning.
Amazing podcast
Hi. I heard about your podcast from the sukkah round table. Glad I found out about this one. Brings a lot of clarity and understanding to major Jewish concepts in a fun and light way with the average rabbi and Joe. Thank you. I’d like to recommend to Joe to check out the book by Rabbi Sacks - The great partnership. It’s about connecting science and religion and the search for meaning. I think he would appreciate it. All the best. New avid listener
