Pesach Bonus - Grafting the Spirit of Israel (Yechezkel 37) (Rebroadcast)
In honor of the Haftorah read on Shabbat parshat chol hamoed from Yechezkel 37, we are rebroadcasting episode 248 with Rabbanit Shani Taragin from earlier this year, which explored this prophecy as the Haftorah of Parshat Vayigash. Yechezkel 37 describes the grafting of two branches representing the Northern (Yosef) kingdom of Israel and the Southern (Judah) Kingdom. This prophecy of comfort still resounds deeply as the people of Israel are still trying to work out the relationship between the flesh and spirit of the revived nation.
Episode 261 - Parshat Tzav and Pesach: Eliyahu the Herald
This week's Haftorah from Malachi 3 has been chosen for its connection to Shabbat Hagadol and the upcoming Pesach holiday. In this episode with Dr. Chana Shacham Rosby, we discuss the unique features of the Haftorah and the role of Eliyahu in Malachi's prophecy and in Jewish tradition.

Episode 260- Parshat Vayikra: When Sacrifice Is Not Enough
In this conversation with Rabbanit Anne Gordon, we explore Yeshayahu's rebuke to the people for their unworthy sacrifices and unworthy behavior.

Episode 259- Parshat Vayakel-Pekudei (Parshat ha-chodesh): Yechezkel's Temple Vision
In this conversation with Rabbanit Nechama Goldman Barash we discuss the contradictions and changes in Yechezkel's futuristic Temple vision from the Torah's accounts of the Temple from this week's Haftorah. We explore the ways commentators throughout the generations have grappled with this issue. This episode has been sponsored in memory of David Shmuel ben Yitzchak.

We discuss the relationship between this prophecy and the purification rite of the red heifer which is read as the maftir reading and we also explore the power and limits of repentance. This year the Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftorah.
Special Purim Episode: Secrets of the Scroll: Esther and Yonah, Reluctant Redeemers
What if Megillat Esther is not the most hidden book in Tanakh, but the most brilliantly written one? Secrets of the Scroll--a series produced for this Purim and hosted by Rabbanit Shani Taragin--presents the book of Esther as a text written in code. A story where God is hidden, miracles are quiet, and redemption unfolds through courage, strategy, and deep biblical memory. This is not a surface level Purim series. It is a journey into the inner language of Tanakh and into the heart of what it means to survive, believe, and interpret. This was episode 13 of the 20-part series, wherein our podcast host, Dr. Yosefa Fogel Wruble, spoke with Rabbanit Shani Taragin about reluctant redeemers like Yonah and Esther who must be pushed into their role in history.
