Torah Smash! The Podcast for Nerdy Jews
Episode 55 - 2nd Anniversary Special - Paraders of the Blessed Ark - Part 1

To celebrate two years of being Jewish and Nerdy, we invited some of our previous guests from the past year back to the show for a Torah Smashed version of Dungeons & Dragons. Each player chose a biblical character to portray (character descriptions below) and worked together to rescue the innocents and protect one of the most famous artifacts of the Torah.
