Yael Eckstein’s new podcast, “The Chosen People,” offers a fresh journey through the Old Testament, bringing ancient stories alive with striking depth. Produced by Pray.com and enriched with a unique 100-piece symphony score, the podcast isn’t just an exploration of biblical narratives but an immersive experience.
Reflecting on her inspiration, Eckstein says, “I think that these are the roots of both faiths — Jews and Christians — and the stories in the Hebrew Bible … are the essence of being human and being people of faith.” Through figures like Noah, Eckstein highlights how human imperfection is part of the journey. “Even with Noah … he messed up … but God chose him … to continue passing on this tradition of trusting in God, even within the brokenness.”
