The Yeshiva of Newark @ IDT Podcast

Standing in Two Worlds with Prof. Sam Juni, PhD

The Yeshiva of Newark @ IDT Podcast is a stimulating broad-based forum exploring respectfully the interface between religious motifs and our global civilization. It embraces diversity while avoiding apologetics and broad brushstrokes.
