Episode 322: Is Passover Really Two Holidays in One? - Dan and Lex

from Judaism Unbound · host Institute for the Next Jewish Future

Dan and Lex have a PSA: Passover, in the bible, is two holidays! Not one. You've been conned! Or...ya know...Jewish history is interesting and one of the holidays in a sense "swallowed" the other over time. But also, maybe you've been CONNED. (See this article, by Michael Satlow, for a more in-depth explanation). In any event, Dan and Lex are curious what we might create, if we conceived of the holiday(s) of Passover and Chag HaMatzot ("Matzah Festival") as potentially two different things (as they initially were in the Bible). How might this help us find meaning in the latter days of the holiday(s), which do not contain a seder or organized ritual? To access shownotes for this episode, click here. Between Passover and Shavuot, we are offering several different 3-week "mini-courses" that you can take through the UnYeshiva -- our digital center for Jewish learning and unlearning.

Daily Mishna by Jack Doueck Jack D This podcast, entitled, “Daily Mishna” is a spin-off of a WhatsApp Chat where I teach one Mishna a day in a voice note that the participants listen to on their way to work or wherever and whenever they prefer. It isn't every single day of the week, and it covers only Mishnayot that I personally find to be especially stimulating. You do not need to know Hebrew to listen and you do not need to have learned Mishna before. The Mishna is the basis of the entire oral tradition of Judaism. Each Mishna lesson usually takes between 3 minutes and 9 minutes with exceptions.Enjoy!
