Shofar Callin' connects the story Jews read on the New Year -- when God tells Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac -- with the ritual blowing of the Shofar, or ram's horn. What's the connection? Find out how the Jewish New Year is WAY more than just a day to spend in synagogue, and how the call of the Shofar can be spiritually meaningful in your daily life. Prodezra Beats, an independent artist, broke out big on the scene when he produced the track for "Change" with Y-Love & DeScribe, released on Shemspeed. Now with the "Shofar Callin'" track for Rosh Hashanah, he is back with another viral hit! This G-dcast will have you bumping into the new year in no time! Shana tova.

Passover is full of stories, and we've decided to bring to life the Haggadah's famous tale of the Four Sons. These four characters - wise, wicked, simple and the one who doesn't know how to ask questions - can be found all over the world, but we've set their story in Moscow.

"Lots of us think about Yom Kippur like an annual big dark cloud of guilt, sin and hours in synagogue. But ahoy there matey! It doesn't have to be that way. Throw your old ideas overboard. Yom Kippur is an amazing opportunity to change, grow and connect. Just ask Jonah, the hero of the Yom Kippur afternoon haftarah. Check in with Jonah and the whale (okay, fish) and learn how Yom Kippur connects us to God, to our communities, and to our true selves.

Sukkot is the happiest Jewish holiday. We live in huts, have parties, wave a lulav and etrog around and eat tons of food. What could be wrong with that? King Solomon stars in the book of Ecclesiastes, which can get kind of gloomy. And we read it during Sukkot! Hadara Levin-Areddy, a great Israeli singer/songwriter, connects the dots, singing about sadness, joy, and what's new under the sun.

Imagine yourself in the middle of something awful. Someone is going to have to take a stand to set things right. Sometimes...that someone...is YOU. Meet Esther, the young woman at the middle of the famous Purim story. Follow her as she gets swept up into history, leaving her jump rope, her people, and her cheering section behind...maybe.
