In this week’s episode: a special Siyum - or “completion”- where we celebrate TanakhCast’s conclusion of the Torah. I look back with great nostalgia on all those good times in the Five Books with raconteur and amateur Torah nerd Dan Friedman and a “Best of…” listicle-a-ganza.

I was going to insert a picture of Dan Libenson, but then I realized that folks would connect the header and the image. Dan is a distinguished leader and wise mentor. Bill Lumbergh is...
