In this episode we enter the world of Jewish spoken--word poet, hip-hop/reggae artist and storyteller Ari B Lesser.  Ari has the G-d-given ability to express Torah verses and lessons in rhyme and rhythm without sacrificing accuracy.  Ari tells an amazing story of how he connected to Torah first through putting Sefer Tehilim (Psalms) to rhyme and then progressing from there.
