All Else is Commentary is a podcast which explores Jewish ideas (from the Bible to the present day) from a curious, progressive and critical perspective.
There is a famous Talmudic story of Hillel in which he is asked to summarise Jewish teaching whilst standing on one leg. Hillel’s response is: ‘That which is hateful to you, do not do to others. All else is commentary; go and learn.’ This podcast will explore ‘all else’ and expand its definition – well beyond just the Five Books of Moses.
If there is a Jewish text or a Jewish idea which you would like us to talk about on the podcast, please be in touch with us at allelseis@alyth.org.uk
