Join us as Rabbi Yosef Bronstein shares his Torah al regel ahat! Rabbi Bronstein's new book, Engaging the Essence: The Torah Philosophy of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, explores the broader Torah contribution of the Lubavitcher Rebbe to the Jewish world and beyond. Rabbi Bronstein shares his journey from a student of Rav Kook and academic Talmud study to one of the leading scholars of the Rebbe's Torah. We explore similarities and differences between Rav Kook and The Rebbe who both view the current age as the latter stages of exile and the beginning of the redemption, and ideas of the individual vs the communal. Rabbi Bronstein also shares some thoughts on the upcoming high holidays. ______________________________________________________________ Useful Links: Engaging the Essence: The Torah Philosophy of the Lubavitcher Rebbe by Rabbi Yosef Bronstein | | Get 10% off your next order from www.korenpub.com with code PODCAST at checkout. If you would like to contact us you can reach us on social media @KorenPublishers or via email, at [email protected] | | | The Koren Podcast was written and hosted by Aryeh Grossman and Alex Drucker and was edited and produced by Alex Drucker.

As we prepare for Tisha B’Av, we need little reminding of how fragile and fraught our existence as Jews can be even here in Israel. There have been daily reminders since Simchat Torah of the harsh realities of being a Jew whether in Eretz Yisrael or the diaspora. We felt it most appropriate this year, therefore, to reshare two of the most powerful conversations we have had this season, the conversations we had with the Geudalia family whose son and brother Yosef fell defending the people of Israel on October 7, and with Rachel Goldberg and Jon Polin whose sone Hersh is still after more than 300 days being held as a hostage by Hamas.

Join us for this week's episode of The Koren Podcast Al Regel Ahat where Aryeh talks to tour guide and experiential Jewish educator Shuli Mishkin about the benefits of learning Torah out in the land, a topic particularly pertinent to the period of the Three Weeks leading into Tisha B'Av. Shulie Mishkin made Aliyah from New York with a Master's degree in Jewish History from Columbia University. After completing the Ministry of Tourism guide course in 1997, she began guiding professionally and has since taught and guided all ages, from toddlers to retirees. Her tours provide a complete picture of the land of Israel and Jewish heritage, with a strong reliance on sources ranging from the Bible to 19th century travelers' reports. Alongside her regular guide work, she teaches "tour and text" courses in the Jerusalem institutions of Pardes and Matan, and provides tours for special needs students in the “Darkaynu” program. Shulie lives in Alon Shvut with her husband Jonathan and their five kids.   ______________________________________________________________ Useful Links: https://www.shuliemishkintours.com/ [email protected] | | Get 10% off your next order from www.korenpub.com with code PODCAST at checkout. If you would like to contact us you can reach us on social media @KorenPublishers or via email, at [email protected] | | | The Koren Podcast was written and hosted by Aryeh Grossman and Alex Drucker and was edited and produced by Alex Drucker.
