Over the past year, Tikvah has published many of our events and panels as videos. Now, those same events are available for audio download as podcasts.
In addition to watching from your desktop, you can now listen while commuting, exercising, or otherwise on the go to Norman Podhoretz reflecting on his life’s work, Christine Hayes and Yehoshua Pfeffer debating how to read the Talmud, Daniel Gordis describing the life and ideas of Menachem Begin, and many other preeminent intellectuals discussing topics of Jewish thought, history, and statesmanship.
