Welcome to Parsha in Plain English where we read Jewish texts to you, audiobook style. Please share and subscribe!

Reading Psalm 27 during the month of Elul is a widespread Jewish tradition meant to prepare the heart and soul for the upcoming High Holy Days.

Welcome to Parsha in Plain English.

I’m glad you’re here.

This podcast is simple.

Every week, you’ll hear a clear, modern English reading of the weekly Torah portion — the parsha.

No long commentary.

No dense analysis.

Just the text and the story, spoken in plain English so you can listen, follow along, and take it in wherever you are — in the car, on a walk, while cooking, or sitting quietly at home. You can absorb the story and it's flow wherever you are.

The goal is to make the weekly parsha accessible. Whether you’ve studied Torah for years or you’re just starting to explore it, these episodes are meant to be easy to hear and easy to return to.

New episodes will come out every week, following the weekly parsha schedule.

Our first full episode will be Parshat Bereshit, the beginning of the Torah.

That episode will be released on October 4, 2026.

Until then, thank you for listening.

If this sounds like something you’d like to hear regularly, please subscribe or follow the show so you don’t miss it.

I’ll see you on October 4th for Parshat Bereshit.

This is Parsha in Plain English.
