Fascinating Audio Content by Rabbi Irwin Kula

In recent months, I have noticed that I have been referencing some of Rabbi Irwin Kula’s ideas to other rabbis. Specifically, audio recordings of Rabbi Kula, whether on podcasts or elsewhere. As such, since it is becoming so frequent, I have decided to collect a handful of these and share them, as I have found them to be very valuable and I hope others find tremendous value in them, as well.

I will note that Rabbi Kula can talk a bit saltily, so I just wanted to put that warning out there. Nevertheless, the richness and freshness of his ideas are very rewarding, even if (or perhaps, because of) being so against the grain that one may typically encounter in regular organized Jewish life.

The first of these talks was his “Texts Without Borders”, which was delivered on November 8, 2011 at the first session of the third cohort of the Rabbis Without Borders Fellowship, which had been recorded by Clal and posted on their website. While I cannot seem to find the recording on their website now, the recording is what I had downloaded from their website and am sharing with you. While I had been in the room for this recording as I was part of this cohort of the fellowship (and you can hear my laugh at certain points), I have returned to listen to this talk on multiple occasions, as it is lively, invigorating, and fresh content, especially for rabbis.

I recently chanced upon a couple of episodes of Judaism Unbound, the first of which is good, while the second one is great:

And here are two further podcast episodes that feature him:

I hope you enjoy this audio content and if you have any further audio or video content of Rabbi Kula you would like to recommend, please feel free to share with me🙂
