In this fall's season of Hebrew College's Speaking Torah podcast, we focus on poetry, creative writing, and Torah—looking at women's voices, reflections on torah and prayer through writing, and more.
Episodes feature Hebrew College faculty and their students as well as music performed by Hebrew College cantorial alumni.
Each episode is 40 minutes or less, so we hope you will take some time this winter break to listen, rate, and share this podcast widely. Happy Listening!
