High Holidays Unbound: Listen and Learn

Dan and Lex have a lot to say about the Biblical texts traditionally associated with Rosh Hashanah. Listen in to their thoughts in four "mini-episodes" of the Judaism Unbound podcast below. These episodes blend ancient text with our contemporary "unbound" lens, and they incorporate elements of Biblical source criticism, archaeology, and modern scholarship to find contemporary new meanings in these texts. Each episode is approximately 10 minutes long, and each one can be accessed by clicking play on the corresponding audio file below. Key excerpts of each reading are included directly below each audio file, and the full texts can be found on Sefaria by clicking the corresponding textual excerpt.
