    Practical and entertaining
    Love Liel and Sivan. This show is the perfect length and love the format of what the parsha says, what Sivan’s take on it is and then how to put it into practice in your life. One of the best parsha pods out there!

    Inspirational!
    I enjoy hearing Sivan’s perspectives on the weekly Torah portion. I love that she’s a “regular person” who’s interested in exploring the meaning in each parasha. Well done!

    Excellent podcast
    This podcast is educational and inspiring. Sivan has a great voice, genuine enthusiasm and positive spirit. My only complaint is the podcast is too short! תודה רבה

    Less politics. More Torah 🥰
    Recently I’ve been trying to wean myself off of political podcasts (depressed much?) and finding Sivans podcasts was the perfect antidote. Thank you Sivan and Liel for showing reminding me of the beauty and power of the Torah - we need it now more than ever.

    Sivan is contemporary, smart, and a credit to Israel
    As a regular fan of Tablet Magazine podcasts, I was intrigued to start to listen to "Sivan says". Sivan is illuminating, smart, has a sense of humor, and biblical erudition. I urge you to listen. Sivan deserves five stars. Dr. Steven Huberman.

    Sivan combines deep commentary, practical application, stories, and humor on the weekly Parsha in very refreshing format. Todah rabbah!

    Love the show!
    I am enjoying the show very much so far. It’s got the spiritual aspect which is maybe a given in a Torah podcast but it also has a practical aspect (the “homework”). I also enjoy the real life stories Sivan shares. Sivan and Liel are two brilliant people, both of whose work I have admired for a long time, and I love hearing them together.

    Today!
    Today Sivan for helping me to see the Korban Todah as a daily midah. Loved it!
