What are the Six Best Jewish Podcasts of 2022?

There are so many high-quality Jewish podcasts available that it’s hard to imagine how anyone could find any new angle to cover that would draw in a new audience. Yet every year, new Jewish podcasts go on air and many of them turn out to be real winners – so let’s put down your Red Stag Casino fun for now and check these out.

What are some of the best podcasts to entertain, challenge, inform and motivate?

That’s an Issue

That’s an Issue, part of the Living L’chaim podcast network, is hosted by Dr. Tara and Yoni Klestzick. The shows bring together some of the world’s top mental health professionals and others who have had experiences and perspectives that can give insights that help listeners construct healthy emotional frameworks for themselves and their families and friends.

The podcasts cover subjects like:

Stories to Inspire

Rabbi Yoel Gold has taken his collection of inspirational stories to a new level by gathering them in one easy-to-access podcast space where listeners can hear at any time. Rabbi Gold himself collects inspirational accounts of unexplained occurrences and seeming miracles that changed lives but how he has begun to ask other rabbis and other Jewish leaders to submit their own stories. .

The stories include accounts of amazing events that are designed to force the listener to sit back and think. Some of the stories come from history and some highlight survivor stories from the Holocaust. Most stories, however, showcase how everyday events may have unexpected impacts in the future. Examples include:

Meaningful People

Nachi and Momo interview a wide range of Jewish personalities who discuss how they became who they are today. The interviewers leave no stones unturned nor sensitive questions unasked as they dig deep into how the Jewish world’s meaningful people accomplished what they have set out to do. Some of the most inspiring interviews include:

TeNak Talk

Wil’liam Hall hosts a wide range of Jewish thinkers who provide the tools and information needed to confront evangelicals who are increasingly proactive in targeting Jews for Judaism. Hall has a roster of many of the leading thinkers in anti-missionary activity including Rabbi Tovia Singer, Rabbi Chaim Koffman, Rabbi  Michael Skobak, Rabbi Moshe Shulman and Rabbi Stuart Federow.

Some of the broadcasts involve teaching sessions while others provide forums where listeners can call in and ask questions so that they can better understand the “proof verses” and scare tactics used by missionaries as they target Jews with misquotations, mistranslations and out-of-context scripture.

Over the years, Jacobovici has explored a wide range of historical mysteries including the authenticity of the Exodus from Egypt, the Jews of Ethiopia and the possible current locations of descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes.  He explores trials and evidence that are often ignored by other researchers in an effort to find the truth about events that some call “myths.”
