Great intro to Talmud for folks without a lot of background in how to break down the complex text. I love the insights - esp. from R. So if Boshevkin. While Tablet has really started to drift to some uncomfortable rightwing places, this pod is still a great place of enjoyment.

It is so nice to hear a real person discuss Judaism in the modern world for lay people. I have forward episodes to my five children. And hope that they will pick up the thread. Bless you for your work.

I used to be a fan. I even bought the book. But the interpretations are now so politically predictable that I can guess the talking points in advance.

Love this so much.

Every day I watch and when Hudson comes on I feel like I learned two times the Talmud! More Hudson!!!!!

I have a very short commute. Most mornings Liel Take one get me there. It’s a perfect way to start the day with a little bit of Talmud… which I often then go read the whole page myself.

It was really enjoyable until he started trying to justify Israel’s land grabbing and genocide.

Liel is a great host and teacher

Episode I listened to was basically hosts talking about themselves and then quickly quoting the Talmud and bending it severely and using it to talk about a random topic (episode about “not knowing”). The hosts seem to “not know” but they teach anyways…

Really enjoy these succinct Daf discussions! Agree more of Hudson lol

A super twisted interpretation of the Talmud. Very heretical. מצד הקליפה

I listen every day, but today’s input from 10-year-old Hudson made me especially joyous. The simplicity of a child’s perspective during these complex and worrisome times was comforting. Thanks Hudson.

I have been listening to this podcast daily for more than three years. It’s always informative and entertaining! I do try to supplement it with the 5 Minute Daf Yomi podcast on Podbean, as Liel only covers one or two sentences of the daily daf.

Just came across this podcast and have found it to be amazing. I love how the hosts connect the Talmud to some of the issues we face in a modern world. I’ve been listening to two episodes every day and really enjoy having my day made a little Talmudic

Usually awesome, always enjoyable. The unpacking of Talmud — the historical explication and the modernization — is what goes on, mostly through conversation between the host and guests. Highly recommended!

Thank you for your courage to point out the indignity of today’s political correctness and citing our great hero Nathan Sharanskyi Congrats on being nominated for the Next Big Idea book club!

Love this podcast! Liel, as someone who is in the process of conversion and has a desire to learn as much as possible about Judaism, I just want to say thank you so much for making my days a little more Talmudic. 😊

Five days a week I look forward to this podcast which opens my mind to new ways of thinking about the Bavli. Thank you, Liel, for making my days a little more Talmudic. Shkoyach!

Modern day tzedokim

I listen everyday and learn so much. I hope this pod cast never ends Binnie I tried the welcome to the tent .com but I’m not finding it. Is it under gmail. Podcast, where Thanks for helping me Binnie I am having trouble downloading Robert Scaramuccia newsletter. Please help me. Can you send me the site Binnie

This show Changed this lost gentile’s life for the better

Superb insights on the Talmud. I listen everyday. Liel Llebovitz is brilliant and entertaining. Dr. Steven H. New Jersey

Perfect review of Talmud in a short episode.

Thank you for bringing Daf Yomi to a level that a goon like me can understand.

An excellent program. Selection of material, host, and guest speakers are all terrific. Very high quality production. Worth paying for but it is free at least for now.

I love getting a small taste of Talmud everyday and especially when R. Dovid joins.

So grateful for this podcast. It reminds me of my learning experience at the Pardes Institute in Jerusalem. I’ve missed this type of engagement with texts from Jewishly literate yet compassionate and critically thinking teachers. Thank you Reb Leibowitz for all of you efforts 🪬

Truth be told, this is the only Tablet-produced content I can stand to take in anymore. Unlike Tablet’s—and Liebowitz’s own—print content, Take One is happy, non-controversial, and non-reactionary. I recommend it to all the folks I meet interested in wading into Talmud!

This show is literally awesome. Full of mind, soul, and heart enriching content. I got here late, so I started on the very first episode and I’m catching up by listening every free moment.

I always learn something new, and often get a laugh or two along the way.

Studying Talmud is hard. It’s easy to get lost in the nitty gritty details of the discussion and miss the important truths being conveyed. Take One Daf Yomi provides clarity that informs my study every day.

Outstanding and concise dialogue and interpretation of Daf Yomi. Keep up your wonderful work.

Entertaining, thought provoking, and worth listening too!

Ancient wisdom made contemporary by commentary thanks to Liell and his guests

Such a pleasure to listen to. Makes you feel connected to these ancient texts, which by the way I studied for many years when I was in high school at a Jewish day school and I had no interest and could never understand and now I have this tremendous appreciation.

I’ve heard of Daf Yomi throughout my life but it seemed to distant a goal. This has enabled me to dip my toe into the ocean of what is Talmud. Thank you Liel! להצליחה!

Thank you for putting this into the world

Liel Liebowitz and his Daf Yomi learning start each day for me. This podcast is a gateway to learning I would not obtain otherwise. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin’s deeply felt commentaries and teachings move me deeply. I am grateful this is a 7.5 year exercise!

I like being able to listen to each day’s episode while brewing tea or making breakfast. The episodes are quick and digestible. The host does a great job making each episode feel distinct from the others.

Find it a great way to start my day Really appreciate the wisdom

At the start of the Daf cycle the pod cast was strong. Now I feel there are a couple of issues: 1. Sound quality from a majority of the callers is very poor and I cannot even listen to the episode. 2. Self promotion of the “guest” speakers. They are promoting their new book, their podcast ect. Let’s get back to the heart of the Daf and focus on making each day aka podcast the best it can with the best sound quality from the callers.

Only recently discovered this fantastic podcast and now religiously listen every day

Take One is an enjoyable daily podcast from Liel Liebowitz, known as a host of Unorthodox Podcast. Every show has a guest host. Topics are loosely connected with the Daf.

I love starting each day with the Take One podcast. It’s a great way to study Talmud in a busy life.

My first podcast every morning!

I am a Christian, and always knew I was missing a great deal of cultural context when reading the Tanakh (really, both Old and New Testaments). I am greatly blessed by these conversations about the conversations about God’s presence in the minutiae of life.

I wake up every morning and listen, I am addicted.

Terrific conversation with Sister Prejean.

I am so happy to have a cheerful, welcoming way to Daf Yomi. Perfect for any Jew of any denomination to engage with the joy of Talmud.

I would have given 6 stars but Rabbi Dov Bashempkin does not have an entry in the Newish Jewish encyclopedia. Thanks Liel.
