Traditional methods of Jewish learning are not as popular nowadays. People lead hectic lives and lack the time, or perhaps the inclination, to spend their free hours at shiurim or seminars.

That's why Joseph Dweck, senior rabbi of the S&P Sephardi Community in the UK, is placing his faith in a series of online videos offering quickfire explanations of key concepts in Judaism.

Perspectives, set to launch on Monday, features two-minute clips of Rabbi Dweck discussing issues including life, prayer, charity and God. "I wanted to keep the videos short because of people's attention spans," the minister explains.

"People have a lot of misunderstandings about Jewish ideas. They work on assumptions. The danger of not explaining these ideas is that people will continue to pass [misunderstandings] on to their children."
