4. History in the Bible

Follow Play Watch Video
Website Apple Spotify
A guide to the history presented in the Bible, for people of all faiths and backgrounds, presented by an independent podcaster, and biblical studies buff. I explore the religion of ancient Israel, the beginnings of Christianity, then finally the evolution of the heirs of Abraham to the year 200. I discuss every single book in every Bible (there are more than you think!). Lightly garnished with a dash of drollery, a soupçon of scrutiny, and not one ounce of objectivity. Not one ounce! The main narrative concluded in January 2024. But I continue to publish Afterlife shows.MORE Host Garry Stevens

10. The Frum View on Israeli Politics and Culture

Follow Play
Website Apple Spotify
Israel is a lovely country. Since it is in the Middle East, it has not been exempt from a turbulent political climate. Although many Israelis have great respect for Jewish values and culture, it is quite common to get caught up in the maelstrom of politics and lose sight of the bigger picture. This show attempts to take a step back and look at things from a calm point of view - in Hebrew, a 'Mabat Ragu'a.'MORE Producer/Network JewishPodcasts.fm
