Miriam Anzovin is a phenomenon!

As the creator of the “Daf Reactions” and “Jewish Lore Reactions” on social media, her work “at the intersection of Sefaria and Sephora” is impacting thousands of followers each week and has earned her recognition and admiration from Jewish students worldwide.

With her online video series, she shares her authentic reactions to Jewish texts, with commentary both heartfelt and comedic, putting ancient discourse in direct communication with modern internet culture. Miriam’s work invites others to connect with Jewish teachings in ways that resonate personally with them.

In this special program, Miriam will share how her life experiences as a formerly Orthodox woman led her to deep emotional engagement with Jewish text study. She will discuss her spiritual journey, Daf Yomi (the daily-page-of-Talmud study), the genesis of her #DafReactions social media videos, and being a “Talmud influencer” in the public eye.

You can learn more about Miriam’s work through her website www.miriamanzovin.com, and connect with her on Instagram, Youtube, TikTok, BlueSky, Mastodon, Threads, Facebook, and Sefaria, as well as through her newsletter. We are delighted to bring to A TREE WITH ROOTS one of the most exciting and spirited teachers of Torah in the public forum today!

There is no charge for this special event, and all are welcome. If you’d like to support our growth and our ability to bring more special teachers to A Tree with Roots, we welcome your support here, with gratitude!
