Podcast and Video Appearances
“Social Media influencer Miriam Anzovin uses unexpected media, language, and emojis to bring contemporary relevance to Jewish text and lore. During her 2024-2025 CJP x JArts Community Creative Fellow, Miriam developed her Jewish Lore Reactions series, going deep on the stories of lesser known women in the Jewish calendar. In this trailer, Miriam explains what it means for her to be part of a long line of Jewish storytellers and to be a creator of contemporary Jewish life. Filmed by Sevenpair Studios at The Vilna Shul, Boston's Center for Jewish Culture (2025).”
“What happens when ancient Jewish texts meet modern-day digital culture? In this thought-provoking episode of Schmoozing Time, I sit down with Miriam Anzovin—a trailblazing voice reshaping the way young Jews connect with tradition, identity, and the Talmud. Together, we dive into why Judaism isn't just about what you do, but why you do it—unpacking the deeper meaning behind rituals, the evolving role of women in Jewish learning spaces, and the power of disagreement as a sacred form of growth.”
In conversation with Frieda Vizel: “Miriam Anzovin is a Jewish content creator who does videos about the Talmud, Jewish lore reactions and even holiday themed makeup tutorials. She is a warm, funny and witty Jewish woman and I find a friend in her in the content creation journey. Join me for a discussion with the wonderful Miriam about her background, about her relationship to her orthodox mother, about her creative process, about trolls and the Talmud and so much more.”
Join The Esoterica Channel & @MiriamAnzovin for a conversation about studying the Talmud for 1 page a day for over 7 years, the hilarious demons that haunt its pages - including the bathroom demon Panda - and how we can appreciate our holy texts with as much humor as erudition!
“Data Over Dogma” podcast
“This week we say shalom to TikToker and self-proclaimed "massive Jewish nerd" Miriam Anzovin. Miriam has delighted many and enraged others in the Jewish world with her unorthodox (in all the ways) take on important Jewish texts. In her TikTok series "Daf Reactions" Miriam goes through the Daf Yomi, a page-a-day cycle of Talmudic study, tying the Talmud in to her daily life as a milennial in modern society. Her videos take a critical look at the writings of the ancient sages, and connect the stories to what's happening in modern pop culture, politics, and society. Sometimes a lightning rod for controversy, and sometimes just the breath of fresh air that those studying the Talmud need, her work has gotten attention from around the world.”
Her now-famous TikTok videos reacting to the Talmud's 'Daf Yomi' have made Miriam Anzovin an unlikely Jewish star. With thousands of viewers each day, is social media the new frontier for Jewish learning?
