  • Holy Miles: The journeys of traveling Rabbis

    Holy Miles: The journeys of traveling Rabbis
    Apr 21 2025
    Most of us meet rabbis in synagogues, wedding halls, or cemeteries. But in this episode, we hit the road with two rabbis who have taken their faith far beyond the pulpit. First, we meet Rabbi Moshe Silberhaft, affectionately known as "The Traveling Rabbi," who has spent decades serving far-flung Jewish communities across Africa. Then, we head to London Heathrow Airport with Rabbi Hershi Vogel, one of the world’s few Jewish airport chaplains, to learn what it means to offer spiritual support in one of the busiest transit hubs on Earth.

    In four years of podcasting, we've visited a lot of Jewish communities, some of them in places you'd perhaps least expect to find a minyan! In this tour de force, we take you to 10 Jewish locations around the world through chat and music - among them: Salt Spring Island, Canada; Baku, Azerbaijan; Mallorca; Spain; and the very appropriately-named Bridgetown, Barbados.
