Making Modern Meaning from Our Ancient Texts
On Seven Minute Torah, we discuss the weekly Torah portion in about 7 to 10 minutes. Weaving together philosophy, spirituality and tradition, we make modern meaning from our ancient sacred texts – reading them through liberal Jewish eyes.
Longer episodes include a bonus interview with leading rabbis and Jewish thought leaders.
Check out the latest episodes:

Vayikra: Fullness of Life (A Conversation with Rabbi Yitz Greenberg) – Seven Minute Torah
Vayikra is all about the details of animal sacrifice in the ancient Tabernacle. In this episode, Rabbi Yitz Greenberg gives us a new and meaningful way to understand this parashah – as being about the affirmation of life.
