  • Judaism is NOT about Tradition!
    Nov 13 2024

    In this podcast, we dive into Fiddler on the Roof to examine how its portrayal of "tradition" and Jewish identity mirrors a broader historical struggle within Judaism. Set in the fictional shtetl of Anatevka around 1905, Fiddler on the Roof follows Tevye, a poor milkman grappling with changing times as his daughters challenge age-old customs. More than a story of family and culture, Fiddler highlights a common misconception about Judaism—that it values tradition merely for tradition's sake. This misunderstanding, we argue, has shaped Jewish challenges and setbacks over the past 200 years.

  • Plan B Soul Rectifications
    Nov 11 2024

    In Mishnah Sanhedrin, we are taught that all of Israel has a share in Olam HaBa (the World to Come). But what about a Jew who does not engage in Torah learning or fulfill the mitzvos? How can they become a receptacle to exist in Olam HaBa without the proper soul rectification through Torah and mitzvos? In this episode, we explore the "Plan B" soul rectifications, and the various compassionate paths designed to guide each soul back to its divine source.
