David Kasher
Biography
Rabbi David Kasher grew up bouncing back and forth between the Bay Area and Brooklyn, hippies and hassidim – and has been trying to synthesize these two worlds ever since. He has a B.A. from Wesleyan University, a J.S.D. from Berkeley Law, and rabbinic ordination from Yeshivat Chovevei Torah. Kasher is a teacher of nearly all forms of classical Jewish literature, but Torah commentary is his greatest passion, and he spent five years producing the weekly ParshaNut blog and podcast, exploring the riches of the genre.
