The Portion
"The Portion" is a podcast where Aaron Roller, a curious Orthodox Jew, sits down with his brother-in-law, Rabbi Jonathan Bienenfeld, to discuss the portion of the Torah that is read each week by Jews around the world. The conversation is informal and friendly, but not afraid to delve into the wealth of Jewish wisdom and interpretation. Guests may join to offer their takes on the portion as well.

Episode 17
In this discussion of Parshat Mishpatim, Aaron and Rabbi Bienenfeld note the abrupt shift the Torah takes from narrative to law and talk about the vision for society that these laws portray. Then things get real as they talk about the ways the Torah's laws are influenced by the experience of slavery and the ways they are not.
