G-dcast for Beha'alotcha
It's raining chicken! Hallelujah! Beha'alotcha, the parsha so eventful you can't pronounce its name without going to rabbinical school. Jon Madof and Charlie Buckholtz strapped on their banjos and wrote a folksong about it. It's AWESOME.

Have a Cow, Man. In Fact, Have Two!
This week is Shabbat Parah, the third of the four special Torah readings read before Passover.
Parah means cow, and the section describes the red heifer that was killed as part of an ancient purification ritual . We are reminded to purify our homes - and ourselves - with the festival fast approaching. See this explanation of this week's haftarah.
This is truly the weekend of the cow, because our regular portion this week is Ki Tissa, which contains the Golden Calf account. See G-dcast's animated summary below.

G-dcast Hanukkah Special
Chanukah starts this Friday night, the 11th. So what is Chanukah about anyway?
To help you answer that question for your kids, your clueless coworkers or, er, yourself, we made a cartoon about it: G-dcast Spins Chanukah! The cartoon is a light retelling of the Chanukah story from a teen's point of view. It's appropriate for kids who are old enough to think about war and injustice. Watch it with your family before you light the menorah, screen it for your clueless coworkers, or show it to your Sunday school class. (Psst, teachers: there's a curriculum guide about using this episode in your class.)

G-dcast for Toldot
Parshat Toldot from G-dcast.com
More Torah cartoons at www.g-dcast.com
Warning from the creators of G-Dcast, This episode used Midrash, which is interpretation of biblical stories that can "fill in the gaps" about Torah text. We don't generally use midrash in this series, and wanted to make sure you realized that it's at play this week in the storytelling, when Y-Love talks about Rebecca's difficult pregnancy and about Esau's character. Also, our animation functions as a sort of midrash - it's very, er, cartoonish - some would say, over the top!
Bottom line: We encourage you to pick up a copy of the Torah (or use an online source) and read parshat Toldot for yourself. Compare and contrast the simple text with Y-Love's midrashically inflected G-dcast and see what you think for yourself about the story, the characters, and its meaning.

On the last day of Moses's life, he clears his throat and lets it rip. This episode celebrates his final song, interpreted for you by musician Anthony Rogers-Wright. Haazinu means "Give Ear!" and we hope you will.

Chanan Rosin, of the Jerusalem band Majuda, sings about life and how to live it in Parshat Re'eh. Blessings in your life and on the land can be yours, a father tells his infant twins...and Moses tells the Children of Israel...if only they will follow the advice of another "parent."
Majuda plays vibrant Afro-Jewish dance grooves carrying messages from ancient wisdom, calls for contemporary change and a fresh vision of the future.
