The 10 Commandments in 10 Minutes

from Everything Jewish - 10 Minutes at a Time · host Adam Diament

They weren't just carved in stone—they were carved into Jewish identity. In The 10 Commandments in 10 Minutes, we'll take a fast but meaningful look at the most famous set of divine instructions ever given. From "don't steal" and "honor your parents" to the big ones about God, idols, and Sabbath, we'll explore what these commandments meant in their ancient context and how they continue to shape Jewish life (and Western law) today. We'll talk about why there are different ways to count them, how they're read in synagogue, and why they've sparked debates for centuries. And yes, we'll have a little fun—because if you can't joke about tablets that got smashed before the ink was even dry, when can you? Ten minutes, ten commandments, and a crash course in why these words still echo thousands of years later.
