Episode Synopsis
Sometimes, when I'm feeling bored in shul I flip to the back of the book, and read Pirkei Avot. There's a particular passage, in the fifth chapter, that I often find myself turning to, especially in weeks that I'm feeling old. Like this week. Because this year, and this week's Torah portion Miketz, marks 25 years since my Bar Mitzvah on December 19, 1998.Music by Chillhop Records:Aves - Cruisin' https://chll.to/60c1dd59Blue Wednesday - Slow Burn https://chll.to/fdcaa474I’m not a rabbi, so every week, I look at our Torah portion and try to put it in conversation with the world around me. Judaism is rich in tradition, and each of us deserves the chance to find our own meaning in the text. Whether you’re studying Torah daily, or taking a moment to prepare for Shabbat, I hope you’ll make these ten minutes of Torah part of your week.You can learn more about me, and my work, on my website – www.nathanjvaughan.com New episodes weekly, anywhere you get Jewish podcasts.
