Let there be G-dcast http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/let-there-be-g-dcast/ From the mind of Jewish t-shirt maven Sarah Lefton comes G-dcast, a new animated series of Torah commentaries as told by a different Jewish celebrity each week. Check out the first episode below, which features Rabbi Lawrence Kushner. New episodes will be posted each Monday at g-dcast.com. en-us mobiustrip@the44.net Copyright 2008 2008-10-23T;19:11:29-05:00 Comment by unorthodoxjew@hotmail.com Hey Vladmir, Think of it as a cover version, like Marilyn Manson singing “Sweet Dreams.” (Well, not exactly like that.) The storytellers are going to be everyone from Orthodox Jews to atheists (and in between), and people can take away anything from “I wonder if it happened like that” to “Wow, that was just like <i>The Matrix” and, of course, every reaction in between—just like when people read the Torah.
