Seeking Sinai
Join Rabbi Natan of Temple Sinai Atlanta as we dive into some of the greatest issues and deepest questions of our time. Our first season, we focused on the Jewish questions of Why?. Our second and third seasons have focused on elevating our individual Jewish journeys. And now, given the war in Israel and the pressing needs of current events, we are dedicating this podcast to these important questions. Whether dropping the kids at school, running errands, heading to work, or meeting a friend, why not add some spiritual enrichment and meaning to your day.

What does it mean to speak the same language as the Torah? In this episode of Seeking Sinai, Rabbi Natan welcomes scholar Elon Gilad for a powerful conversation about Hebrew—not merely as a language, but as a living bridge across Jewish land and history. From ancient biblical texts to modern Israeli slang, they explore the astonishing continuity of Hebrew, the myths surrounding its “invention,” and the role everyday Jews played in preserving it through exile and return. Rabbi Natan also shares his deeply personal story of discovering, while studying Torah in Israel, that he could suddenly understand biblical words without translation—and realizing he had stepped into an unbroken conversation stretching back thousands of years.
