What it is
Nadya Ures, a Jerusalem-based teacher, records short scripted episodes entirely in simple Hebrew about daily life, holidays and Israeli history — the closest thing Hebrew has to the slow-news podcasts that other languages take for granted. Listening is free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube; full PDF transcripts sit behind a Patreon membership. Note that the project's own domain has lapsed, so podcast apps and Patreon are the reliable entry points, and the scripted delivery is clearer but less natural than real conversation.
Episodes are played straight from the publisher's feed — nothing is hosted here, and the five newest are whatever the feed served when this page was last built. All Hebrew podcasts →
