The Rest is Commentary

08/13/2026

Rabbi Leon Wiener-Dow, CEO and Director of Beit Midrash for Kolot, and host Shep Rosenman explore “All You Children,” a song inspired by Psalm 65, in a conversation about hope as a daily practice, the healing power of being truly heard and seen, and the challenge of holding on to redemption when war makes the present feel so harsh. They reflect on love, empathy, halacha as lived experience, and the ongoing work of building a better future in the middle of conflict. Psalm 65 frames G-d as the One who hears prayer and answers with hope, which makes it a strong anchor for the episode’s themes.

Now for the shameless self-promotion bit. Again, it really helps if you share the episodes and songs, and if you like, comment, and subscribe to the podcast, and to me as an artist on your favorite platforms.

This Friday July 24: pre-order my new album ‘Netzach’ on John Zorn’s Tzadik Records.

From the Tzadik website:
Mastermind of Zion80, Rashanim, and so much more, guitarist Jon Madof steps out with a dynamic power trio featuring two of his closest collaborators, Yoshie Fruchter and Nate Rappaport. With a heavier sound and a more orchestral produc-tion, these lyrical compositions provide a perfect springboard for Madof’s brilliant guitar pyrotechnics. “Netzach,” Jon’s eighth CD for Tzadik, is modern Jewish music at its raging best, a masterful blend of Jewish music, surf, and metal by this legendary twenty-year veteran of Radical Jewish Culture.
