David Solomon is an internationally acclaimed, globally-roaming teacher, writer, scholar, and translator. David has many hours of recorded lectures on Jewish history, the Bible, Kabbalah, Jewish philosophy and thought which have been released as podcast episodes

You may have noticed there have been no new lectures posted for some time. David’s work as Managing Editor at Margalya Press means he is now delivering fewer lectures. As a result, we have paused his podcast.

However, David is producing books, including his English translations of the foundational kabbalistic text Tiqqunei ha-Zohar and the modern academic text, The Doctrine of Evil and the ‘Shell’ in Lurianic Kabbalah.

In the meantime, there are more than 100 of David’s online lectures available for you – always in audio form and often in video. We hope you enjoy this journey in Jewish learning.
