  • A year on from the terrible events of October 7, 2023 we sat down with the Editorial Director at Maggid Books Rabbi Reuven Ziegler, and the Managing Editor of Hebrew projects at Maggid Books Oriya Mevorach to share reflections from the last 12 months.

    Rabbi Ziegler, as the Editorial Director, and Oriya, as Managing editor and co-author, are two of the personalities behind the bestselling One Day in October: Forty Heroes, Forty Stories which contains stories of just some of the incredibly heroic actions of normal people from that fateful day.

    At the time of record, One Day in October has sold more than 50,000 copies worldwide and has received praise from world leaders, celebrities, Israel advocates, and regular people for its sensitive and emotional retelling of stories from one of the darkest days in our history.

  • Join us as Rabbi Yosef Bronstein shares his Torah al regel ahat! Rabbi Bronstein's new book, Engaging the Essence: The Torah Philosophy of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, explores the broader Torah contribution of the Lubavitcher Rebbe to the Jewish world and beyond. Rabbi Bronstein shares his journey from a student of Rav Kook and academic Talmud study to one of the leading scholars of the Rebbe's Torah. We explore similarities and differences between Rav Kook and The Rebbe who both view the current age as the latter stages of exile and the beginning of the redemption, and ideas of the individual vs the communal. Rabbi Bronstein also shares some thoughts on the upcoming high holidays.

  • As we prepare for Tisha B’Av, we need little reminding of how fragile and fraught our existence as Jews can be even here in Israel. There have been daily reminders since Simchat Torah of the harsh realities of being a Jew whether in Eretz Yisrael or the diaspora.

    We felt it most appropriate this year, therefore, to reshare two of the most powerful conversations we have had this season, the conversations we had with the Geudalia family whose son and brother Yosef fell defending the people of Israel on October 7, and with Rachel Goldberg and Jon Polin whose sone Hersh is still after more than 300 days being held as a hostage by Hamas.

  • Join us for this week's episode of The Koren Podcast Al Regel Ahat where Aryeh talks to tour guide and experiential Jewish educator Shuli Mishkin about the benefits of learning Torah out in the land, a topic particularly pertinent to the period of the Three Weeks leading into Tisha B'Av.

    Shulie Mishkin made Aliyah from New York with a Master's degree in Jewish History from Columbia University. After completing the Ministry of Tourism guide course in 1997, she began guiding professionally and has since taught and guided all ages, from toddlers to retirees. Her tours provide a complete picture of the land of Israel and Jewish heritage, with a strong reliance on sources ranging from the Bible to 19th century travelers' reports. Alongside her regular guide work, she teaches "tour and text" courses in the Jerusalem institutions of Pardes and Matan, and provides tours for special needs students in the “Darkaynu” program.

    Shulie lives in Alon Shvut with her husband Jonathan and their five kids.

  • In this deeply moving episode of the Koren Podcast, Al Regel Ahat, we have the honor of sitting down with David, Asher, and Charlie Guedalia, as they share the remarkable story of their beloved son and brother, Yosef.

    Yosef's name has become synonymous with courage, sacrifice, and heroism. On that fateful day in Kfar Aza, Yosef fearlessly put himself in harm's way to save the lives of countless others. His selfless act of bravery serves as a shining example of the unwavering spirit of the Jewish people.

    As we approach Yom HaZikaron, a time of solemn reflection and remembrance, Yosef's memory burns brightly in our hearts. His legacy reminds us of the profound depths of love and sacrifice that define our nation.

    Throughout the episode, David, Asher, and Charlie share intimate stories of Yosef's life, his unwavering commitment to his family, to Judaism and learning Torah, and to his beloved wife Sinai. Their heartfelt words paint a poignant picture of a true hero, whose spirit continues to inspire and uplift us all.

    Join us as we honor the memory of Yosef Geudalia, a beacon of light in the darkness, and celebrate the remarkable legacy he leaves behind.

  • Have you ever wondered why sometimes halakha seems immovable but other times it seems flexible and full of workarounds?

    We can't own hametz on Pesah so we just sell it to a non-Jew. First borns must fast on erev-Pesah, just make a siyum!

    Rabbi Daniel Feldman explores these topics and more in his new book Letter and Spirit: Evasions, Avoidance, and Workarounds in the Halakhic System. But these aren't just distinct mechanisms to make a halakhic lifestyle easier, they are part of a broader and beautiful framework for a Jew to connect with Hashem.

    Listen now as Rabbi Feldman share his Torah al regel ahat!

  • We're back for our fifth season of The Koren Podcast asking our guests to teach us their Torah al regel ahat - standing on one leg.

    We were joined this week by Rachel Goldberg and Jon Polin, the parents of Hersh Goldberg-Polin who, at the time of recording, has been held hostage by Hamas terrorists for 136 days.

    Hersh is one of 134 people who have been held in captivity since October 7th and, as Rachel and Jon say, they have been living every parent's worst nightmare. Rachel and Jon have been working, and worrying, around the clock for nearly 5 months to get any information they can about their son and secure his release.

    Despite the unfathomable situation in which they find themselves, Rachel and Jon have displayed unbelievable poise and courage while meeting with presidents, celebrities, and even the pope to ensure that the world does not forget about this humanitarian crisis.

    One thing that Jon and Rachel have been vocal about is how their faith has been a source of inspiration and guidance during such a difficult time and allowed them to continue the fight to bring their son home.

    Listen now as they share their Torah al regel ahat.

  • We are joined this week by one of the most recognizable faces (and eyebrows!) of world Jewry today. Eylon Levy is the Israeli Government Spokesman who has appeared in hundreds of TV and radio interviews to be the voice of right and reason against so many ill-informed (even if well-intentioned) journalists around the world.

    Eylon took a few minutes out of his incredibly busy schedule to talk to Aryeh and Alex about his Torah Al Regel Ahat - standing on one leg. Eylon shares some of the most shocking things he has had to answer to these past few weeks, what led him to his Holy work as the face of the Pro-Israel movement, what good public diplomacy looks like, how to take the fight to our enemies, and what keeps him going in the face of such stubborn opposition.
