Showing results for "foundation" in Judaism

The prophecy of Isaiah, encoded by literary devices, reveals a vision of the end of the world and brings to light parts of Hebrew religion that were lost.

On this podcast we will be discussing all the foundational elements of Judaism and life. We will talk about how to define God, what is the purpose of the world, who gets to decide what is good and what is bad, the five categories of relationships and many more topics covering the basics of Judaism. With in-depth but easy-to-listen-to explanations this will add meaning and vitality to every moment of your day. Join us every Thursday on the journey of building strong Jewish foundations. Listen, enjoy, and share the link with those you care for. Have a question? Email us at jewishfoundations@...
