To mark the season, we share a special segment from our sister podcast Sivan Says, with Sivan Rahav-Meir guiding us into Rosh Hashanah. Can intentionality transform not just sacrifice but also the way we begin a new year? Listen and find out.

Horayot 13 and 14 - Becoming Sinai Together
On today’s pages, Horayot 13 and 14, the daf points from titles to trust—authority in halakha is earned by the community, not decreed from above. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to explore how consensus, not charisma, sustains Torah leadership. When recognition follows service, communities become the guarantors of their own standards. How should communities recognize and empower their true leaders? Listen and find out.
