Torah In Seven With Baila Olidort
We may know the Torah’s stories — the characters, the drama, the plot lines. But beneath the surface lie layers of meaning that can reshape how we read the text and how we understand ourselves. Torah in Seven explores the weekly parsha in under seven minutes. Each episode pulls a single thread from the narrative and follows it inward, revealing new facets of wisdom. Join host Baila Olidort as she weaves classical commentary, Chassidic insight, and personal reflection into a tapestry that brings ancient stories into conversation with our lives today.
