A Guide To The Recruiting Conundrum | The Kelley Group | www.TheKelleyGroup.net | Oklahoma. Ohio State. USC. Nebraska. What do the best college football teams do consistently?

This podcast is called “The Orthodox Conundrum” and many of us self-identify as Orthodox, pray in Orthodox synagogues, affiliate with Orthodox institutions, and consider ourselves part of the wider Orthodox world.

It has been tremendously disheartening to hear the reactions (or lack thereof) to Hamas’s crimes of October 7th.
