Episode Synopsis

Gemara Is Not My ThingIt’s hard to ignore how many high school students say, “Gemara just isn’t my thing.” Whether they openly resist Gemara class or quietly disengage, we need to take a closer look. Are their feelings simply a sign that Gemara is passé — or is there something deeper going on?In this episode, Gemara Is Not My Thing, we explore what’s really behind students’ lack of connection. You’ll hear stories of teens who went from Gemara-haters to Gemara-lovers, an inspiring experiment that points to a solution, and practical steps you can take to make a difference.We shouldn’t settle for “you have to learn it because your ancestors did.” Our goal should be to make every student’s Talmud learning a meaningful experience that strengthens their connection to Judaism.
