© 2024 Rabbi Cy Stanway's Podcast: Jewish Ideas in Bite-size Pieces
Description
Short reflections from a rabbi on the Jersey Shore. No set length for each entry. No set subject. Might include sermons, divrei Torah (short of Torah lessons). Who knows? The wonderful thing is that, whatever is going on, Jewish history has already seen it, talked about it, and brought forth wisdom from it. I want to share that with you.Rabbi Stanway is the rabbi of Temple Beth Miriam in Elberon, NJ
