New Chabad.org Podcast Teaches Weekly Torah with Humor

A new podcast by shliach Rabbi Dovi Paltiel named “Your Jewish Week” provides an overview of the Jewish calendar for the week ahead. You’ll hear about the parsha and notable dates on the Jewish calendar—all presented in a clear and accessible format with a touch of humor.

Would you like to be more engaged with the rhythms of Jewish life? You might already be familiar with Chabad.org’s Daily Study, but now the new podcast—Your Jewish Week—will walk you through each week’s landscape.

Written and recorded by Shliach Rabbi Dovi Paltiel, each episode of Your Jewish Week provides an overview of the Jewish calendar for the week ahead. You’ll hear about the Torah portion, Tanya study, and the weekly cycle of Rambam, as well as notable dates on the Jewish calendar—all presented in a clear and accessible format.

Along the way you’ll pick up some interesting tidbits, like the definition of a piaster (a type of coin in circulation in Hebron 200 years ago), the first synagogue in New York City (built in the early 1700s by Spanish and Portuguese Jews who had fled the Inquisition), and the stories of four “purims” that aren’t Purim (you’ll have to listen to the first two episodes for those!). 

Early listeners are already hooked. “What a fun and interesting way to connect,” commented Eva from Ramona, CA. “I can see myself looking forward to this podcast every week,” says B.T. 

And if you miss a week, there’s no need to stress. Rabbi Dovi reminds listeners where the previous week’s Torah portion left off, so you can easily jump right back in. 

Available on Chabad.org, SpotifyApple or wherever you listen to podcasts, tune in after Shabbos, while you’re doing your Sunday errands, or on your Monday-morning commute, and join us as we map out the coming ahead—this week and every week.
