We all carry a deep yearning to fall in love—with Hashem, with His Torah.But for many, that connection feels distant. Too often, the way Torah is taught or lived can feel heavy, suffocating, even painful. This podcast gives voice to those feelings. It shines a light on the distortions we may have absorbed in Hashem’s name and gently guides us back to a Yiddishkeit rooted in warmth, authenticity, and connection.It’s an invitation to rediscover Torah as something personal, respectful, and alive. However your journey unfolds—through this podcast or another path—I’m rooting for your ...

Possono le testimonianze dei sopravvissuti, le efferatezze dei carnefici e tutti gli orrori della Shoah trasformarsi in indelebili lezioni per le generazioni di oggi e di domani? Emanuele Fiano tiene insieme i ricordi delle persone a lui più care, da suo padre Nedo fino a Liliana Segre, da Primo Levi a Sami Modiano, tra gli altri e, insieme a loro, i gesti e le confessioni degli assassini e, riannodando i fili della memoria, ci consegna una potente riflessione su ciò che è accaduto, sull'eredità della più grande tragedia del Novecento e soprattutto sul senso che essa ha per noi che viviamo tempi diversi e lontani.

The most awaited person in human history has arrived on earth in human form. Christians pray for Him to come and become King of all the earth. Hindus await His arrival to end the Kali Yuga, this age of great sin and turmoil. He is the long-awaited Messiah of the Jews. Buddhists understand why He was given every possible luxury as a child in His previous human incarnation as Lord Buddha.

Based, in part, on Rabbi Sacks’s collection of columns in the UK's Times newspaper, Celebrating Life is a series of reflections on subjects such as morality, friendship, listening to others and giving thanks. It also talks about topics such as being a parent, finding and losing one’s faith and most of all, finding happiness. In Celebrating Life, Rabbi Sacks discovers where happiness lives, often in unexpected places, through family, community, friendship and responsibilities. He also finds it through a renewed relationship with God who spoke to his deepest needs.

Throughout history, the Jewish people have faced catastrophe after catastrophe. They have been expelled, ghettoised, murdered and forcibly converted. The question that Jonathan Sacks asks in this original and compelling book is not how Judaism survived four thousand years of persecution, but how it found ways to flourish and thrive. Originally written as a wedding gift for his son over twenty years ago, now featuring a new foreword by Natan Sharansky, this revised edition is a reminder of the enduring beauty and wisdom of one of the world’s oldest religions.

Sacks argues that faiths must remain open to criticism, keep alive their separate communities and still contribute far more to national debates on moral issues. They must also learn to get along better. His thesis is that we still live under a Biblical canopy and that a cohesive morality needs the uniting bonds of faith. The subject of this book—religions and ethics—is good ground for him to build on: The Jewish contribution to ethics is distinctly rational and has a long and illustrious tradition. Moral philosophy is after all a Jewish preoccupation.

As former vice president of the City of David Foundation, Doron Spielman has guided numerous visitors—including donors, diplomats, professors, celebrities, and American politicians—on a journey into the City of David’s tunnels. While often holding vastly different political views, these visitors agree on one thing: the story of the City of David must be told.

Jonathan Sacks was an outstanding moral authority of our time and bestselling author of The Dignity of Difference. One of Judaism’s most distinctive and challenging ideas is its ethics of responsibility. We have been given the gift of freedom and we in turn have to honour and enhance the freedom of others. More than in any previous generation, we have been tempted to imagine that it is the individual’s needs which are the sole source of meaning.

Four days after Germany’s surrender in May 1945, a young British officer hopped in a Jeep and headed east into Germany. But this was no ordinary soldier. Manfred Gans was searching for his family. As a Jewish boy in Nazi Germany, Manfred Gans had fled to England. As soon as he could, he signed up to fight, serving in the legendary British “Three Troop,” an elite unit made up of German-speaking refugees, and joining in the D-Day Normandy landings.

En la primavera de 1944, gendarmes nazis irrumpieron violentamente en la vida de Max Eisen y su familia, arrancándolos de su hogar. Los subieron a vagones de ganado, atestados de gente, rumbo al fatídico campo de concentración de Auschwitz-Birkenau. A los quince años, Eisen, junto con su padre y su tío, logró sobrevivir al despiadado proceso de selección y fue enviado al campo de concentración como trabajador esclavo. Posteriormente, su padre y su tío fueron seleccionados para los experimentos que se llevaban a cabo ahí y nunca más los volvió a ver.

The Dignity of Difference was the first major statement by a Jewish leader on the ethics of globalization. At the time of writing, the politics of identity had began to replace the politics of ideology that dominated the globe in the twentieth-century. Now Rabbi Sack’s heartfelt, clear-sighted and radical proposal for how we might reconcile our differences without violence is as relevant as ever. In it, Sacks argues that we must do more than just search for values common to all faiths.

It is a common assumption that in Israel, Jews have sovereignty, and in most other places where Jews live today, they have religious freedom instead. As Simon Rabinovitch shows in this original work, the situation is much more complicated. Jews today possess different kinds of legal rights in states around the world; some stem from religious freedom protections, and others evolved from a longer history of Jewish autonomy.
