About this listen

Many Lamps, One Flame is a reflective podcast exploring faith, tradition, and lived experience through careful reading and thoughtful commentary.


Each week includes two streams: Reflections in the Well, longer meditations on meaning, struggle, and the human condition, and From the Scroll, weekly reflections on the Torah portion, drawn from the text and rabbinic tradition.


These episodes are written first, then spoken — unhurried, text-centered, and attentive to the quiet ways moral and spiritual redemption take shape through human action.

    Many Lamps One Flame — An Introduction
    Jan 9 2026

    Many Lamps, One Flame is a podcast devoted to slow, careful reflection on faith, tradition, text, and lived experience. It is not a debate show or a lecture series, but a space for listening—to ancient words, to moral tension, and to the quiet ways meaning takes shape over time.

    The podcast unfolds in two complementary streams. Reflections in the Well offers longer, meditative episodes that explore struggle, transformation, loss, responsibility, and the human condition. From the Scroll, released weekly, follows the Torah portion through close reading and rabbinic tradition, attending to language, nuance, and the ethical demands of the text.

    When redemption is spoken of here, it is understood not as distant or abstract, but as something that begins in human action: choosing compassion, responsibility, and moral courage. Divine assistance, where it appears, is understood as something that augments human initiative rather than replacing it.

    This podcast is an invitation—to listen carefully, to reflect honestly, and to return to the questions that matter.
