About Haskalah

Welcome to Haskalah: A Podcast about Jewish History and Jewish Ideas, a monthly discussion on topics in Jewish studies and Jewish life. Join me as I speak with teachers and colleagues who represent the best of Jewish scholarship and Jewish thought in our time. Here, we ask the big questions about the past and present of Jewish life in a way that is informed by a clear and critical confrontation with Jewish scholarship and Judaism's traditional sources.

Haskalah: A Podcast about Jewish History and Jewish Life

Welcome to Haskalah: A Podcast about Jewish History and Jewish Ideas, a monthly discussion on topics in Jewish studies and Jewish life. I'm your host, Samuel Kessler, Lyons Chair in Judaic Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University, and a historian of Modern European Jewry. In this podcast, I'll be speaking to teachers, friends, and mentors, as well as to many thinkers whom I just simply admire -- all scholarly, insightful voices who represent the best of Jewish scholarship and Jewish thought in our time. My goal in these conversations is to ask big questions about the past and present of Jewish life, and to do so in a way that is informed by a clear and critical confrontation with Jewish scholarship and Judaism's traditional sources. To reach me, email: kesslers2@vcu.edu. To prepare for our third podcast, out in Tishrei 5785/October 2024, I encourage you to get a copy of Jodi Magness, Jerusalem through the Ages: From Its Beginnings to the Crusades (Oxford 2024). Music credit: Ki Eshmerah Shabbat - Jerusalem · Richard Kaplan & Michael Ziegler "Tuning the Soul: Worlds of Jewish Sacred Music" ℗ 2000 Four Gates Music

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
