Jewish Learning Venture has had a blog for a really long time and we were thinking that maybe it’s time to try a new format — turn our blog into a podcast and call it a blogcast. A podcast, living in a blog’s house. You may be familiar with the 4 Questions we ask on Passover…well, there are actually SO many questions and answers in Judaism – some really simple and some much more complicated. And one of the coolest things about Judaism is how we are encouraged to ask questions and seek answers in conversation with one another. So, this blogcast does just that – answers questions.

Weet jy van die bus wat jou hemel toe kan neem? Het jy al jou kaartjie bespreek en indien nie, hoekom wag jy nog? Meeste Christene is vas oortuig dat hulle ten tye van dood op pad is hemel toe, maar is dit werklik wat Skrif verkondig? Wanneer ons woorde van meeste predikers vergelyk met woorde van Skrif, is daar soms niks wat ooreenstem nie en ons besef dat woorde van kansels af verkondig word om ore te streel en bankrekeninge te vul.
