An unashamedly Jewish comedy chat show where all are welcome!

Jew Talkin' To Me? is hosted by award winning comedians, Rachel Creeger and Philip Simon, and produced by Russell Balkind. Each show features guests from the entertainment industry sharing their views on a variety of topics connected to modern Jewish life in a secular world, as well as their memories of growing up Jewish.

Both Philip and Rachel are well known as Jewish comedians on both the mainstream and community circuit and our guest list includes stand-up comedians, presenters, broadcasters, journalists and writers who are Jewish, have some Jewish heritage, or a Jewish connection.

The "Daf Yomi Masechta Review" is an easy to follow audio “chazara” system which helps people review and remember the Gemaras they’ve learned. Each 30 minute segmentprovides the highlights of an average of 8-10 blatt/pages of talmud. It is perfect for those who want to quickly and easily review a few weeks or months of Gemara they’ve recently learned. Recorded (in the mid-late 1990’s) by Rabbi Yosi Heber, a musmach of Harav Avrohom Pam zt”l of Yeshiva Torah Vodaath, these shiurim, which cover all of shas in 122 hours of recordings, have been used by tens of thousands of people around the world. The project was encouraged and endorsed by many of the Gedolei Yisroel

including Harav Avrohom Pam, zt”l and Harav Mordechai Gifter, zt”l.
