Rabbi Brous is a gifted and compassionate spiritual leader. She communicates her passion for Judaism while also demonstrating compassion for anyone, regardless of religion. I am hooked on her sermons and use them to add depth to the sermons of my own Rabbi.

So grateful for IKAR

These sermons and classes teach me so much and help put into words and context my own personal moral view. The Rabbis are all smart, interesting and challenging!

I’m a shy Jew. Raised in a home where my Judaism was hidden. I’m no longer in that closet. But still shy. That’s to say I attend temple on this podcast. Xxxx

Wow

Really enjoy this podcast. Giving it 4 stars because audio is often out of balance. Host is loud and guests are quiet. I frequently adjust volume within a single episode.

Consistently making ancient teachings relevant in the modern world. It’s Ikar and it’s a given :). The recording tech however, remains inconsistent. Please can you make each episode more accessible to your hearing impaired audience / listeners? This is a quick check that the microphone is near the speaker and that speakers repeat audience comments / questions. Also please never record using AirPods etc. which result in awful audio. What you say is worth listening to - for everyone.

Thank you for your kindness in sharing these podcasts.

Thought provoking, intelligent and exciting podcast.

Powerful and will touch your heart!

Rabbi Brous is brilliant. I gave 5 stars because the sermons are amazing, but sometimes the sound is a little low.

Rabbi Brous is truly inspirational. Cant wait to visit IKAR.

Always thought-provoking. Always relevant. Often funny. Often touching. Only problem is -- I miss you! When is the next podcast?

I grew up disliking the sermons during Shabbat services. Always thought they were -- for lack of a better term -- preachy. Self-righeous. Corny. But IKAR's sermons are so different. They always feel relevant, accessible. So human and un-adorned. I've been to services there and think both their rabbis are fantastic. Would recommend these to semons to anyone, Jewish or not, who cares about spirituality and engaging with our larger world.
