Worldwide Jew Podcast

By Eric Ackerman

My first 3 episodes are now out on Youtube in video form! You can check it out by clicking the Youtube icon on this website or click this link: www.youtube.com/user/goldenorc

What I aim to talk about in this podcast is things in the Jewish world that are not super common or completely unknown to most people who don’t take time to delve themselves into Jewish topics themselves. I aim to talk about different Jewish populations that most people would not know and make them more common knowledge.
