Alef Bet
Alef Bet explores the big ideas, core concepts, tough questions, essential values, and evolving practices of Jewish life through the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Hosted by Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie, Alef Bet reimagines ancestral Jewish wisdom for right now. Drawing on the Torah, Talmud, mysticism, poetry, philosophy, and modern voices, the series offers both timeless teachings and contemporary reinterpretation—no prior knowledge or Hebrew needed. Whether you’re Jewish, Jew-ish, Jew-jacent or Jew-curious—all are welcome. Grounded in the God-optional, everybody-friendly, artist-driven approach of Lab/Shul, Alef Bet is for anyone seeking a deeper, more personal connection to Jewish life.
Four Questions
Four Questions is Ayin’s flagship interview series about the power and art of questioning. In each episode, two people meet through the vulnerable act of asking and answering four open-ended questions. Rather than interviews, these conversations are intimate encounters whose themes reach across traditions and time spans—touching art, science, religion, theater, politics, and beyond. At a time when so much media is transactional and reductive, Four Questions offers a glimpse of another kind of discourse. Grounded in Jewish wisdom, yet reaching far beyond it, Four Questions brings together diverse thinkers for wide-ranging conversations that explore the act of questioning as a spiritual, artistic, and universal practice.
