Making modern meaning from ancient texts! Each week Rabbi Micah Streiffer discusses the weekly Torah portion in about 7 to 10 minutes, through liberal Jewish eyes. We weave together philosophy, spirituality, tradition, and social justice - and derive meaning for today‘s life from our sacred sources. Longer episodes include a bonus interview with leading rabbis and Jewish thought leaders. Seven Minute Torah is a production of LAASOK, the liberal Beit Midrash ("House of Study"). Contact us at info@laasok.org with comments or questions.

A conversation with Rabbi Denise Handlarski about the very challenging "Sotah" section of the Torah. How ancient misogyny can teach us about modern Judaism and about feminism, and why sometimes the Torah is an example of what NOT to do. Plus, we talk to Rabbi Handlarski about humanism, online Judaism, intermarriage, and much more.
