The Ḥabura

Religion EN ↓ 219 episodes

We are a virtual and physical Bet Midrash with international membership dedicated to striving to know God by embracing the world through the lens of Torah. We learn and teach Torah as a lens through which we view and interact with God's world. This approach is not exclusive to, but is central and predominant in, the classical Sephardi mesorah that we uphold. We are proud to teach worldly students from across four continents and who work in a variety of professions.https://www.thehabura.com/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
