OMGWTFBIBLE

We really shouldn’t be making light of plagues these days, but that’s where OMGWTFBIBLE is up to in the Torah, so we don’t really have a choice. This month, meet Rishe Groner, an Australian with a Chabad background and more knowledge about the Torah than David Tuchman or Rashi or God or your Hebrew school teacher could’ve expected.

The third portion of Exodus, which we call “Come,” kicks off with a plague of very annoying insects. But first, Rishe tells us how much of a whirlwind the past month has been. And David invents a Simchat Torah-appropriate parody song on the spot. Listen to it all!

And here it is, part 4 of OMGWTFBIBLE, episode 24! This time around, Y-Love and David Tuchman finish up Parshat Va’era, the second portion in Exodus, and share their thoughts on the reading.

What does Y-Love think of Moshe’s journey? Can he sum up everything into a single word? Listen now!

Note: Y-Love sang at the live show. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to record his music well enough to share online, so it’s been editing out of the podcast. All the more reason to come to the live show. You never know what you’ll miss!

We know we just restarted Genesis in synagogue, but part 3 of episode 24 of OMGWTFBIBLE is out now! This week (a little late), Y-Love and David Tuchman get deep into Parshat Va’era, the second portion in Exodus, reading all sorts of wonderful, no-good, very bad plagues.

That’s right! This week, Moshe, everyone’s favorite desert wizard, unleashes all sorts of biological weirdness on the population of Egypt. And Egypt’s magicians do the same for some reason. Check it all out!

Things actually happen this time around, we promise! As a pre-Sukkot treat, part 2 of episode 24 of OMGWTFBIBLE is available early! This time around, Y-Love and David Tuchman finally get to the parts in Parshat Vaera, the second portion in Exodus, that matter: Moshes magic tricks. 

And with them come all sorts of questions. What exactly does Moshes staff turn into? Is Moshe a wizard? How many Harry Potter references can we fit into a single podcast? Don't not listen!

Y-Love is an international rap star who seamlessly blends Judaism, Hebrew, English, and Aramaic into his music. So he was the perfect person to help OMGWTFBIBLE host David Tuchman come up with creative new ways to read Parshat Va’era, the second portion in Exodus.

In this first part of the reading, Y-Love dropped some serious knowledge about how Facebook’s been penalizing people not using their legal names on their profiles (which they kinda-sorta fixed today) and about the Hebrew word “Vayikach”. Check it out!
