Torah on the Go

Podcasts for the People

Podcasts, and the Internet in general, provide people with the ability to learn without going to a physical space or meeting people, to pick and choose amongst different movements and modes of thought, and to remain anonymous. In order to learn, in other words, a Jew doesn’t need to belong to a community. This mode of thinking, which one could argue has arisen as a result of our living in a post-industrialist, on-the-go, individualistic society, stands in marked contrast to traditional Jewish learning, which emphasizes human interaction and community.
