Can Orthodox Judaism Be Reformed? with Rabbi Irving Greenberg

One of American Jewry’s leading theologians and thinkers, Rabbi Irving “Yitz” Greenberg has spent decades engaging—and enraging—orthodoxy by suggesting it was time for religious Jews to examine some of their closest-held beliefs, including on such controversial issues like gay marriage or female members of the clergy. He joins Liel to discuss his new book, The Triumph of Life: A Narrative Theology of Judaism, the role of God during the Holocaust, and why he believes the ancient religion is finally old enough to grow out of some of its ancient hang-ups.

Re'eh

On this week's parsha, Parshat Re'eh, we learn to see. Of the fifty-five mitzvot laid out in the parsha, Sivan focuses on the very first verse, which, she explains, can help us keep them all: to see God's blessings and his curses. This is because the mitzvot are not there to be blindly obeyed. Nor are they there just for intellectual appreciation. It's about seeing the mitzvot clearly - about feeling God's spiritual world - and integrating them into your life. What's this got to do with the saying the mourner's kaddish for 10/7 victims? Tune in to find out. Sivan Rahav-Meir is a leading Israeli journalist, media personality and Torah scholar. You can sign up for her The Daily Portion WhatsApp group, where Sivan sends small insights about Judaism and current affairs.

Knowing Enough

This week, Aimee and Lisa are anxious about knowing enough. They’re also wondering why they feel the constant need to seem smart and cultured and perfectly well-read. Is it just them? Everyone? Or mostly just women? They are joined by Ophira Eisenberg, comedian and host of NPR’s trivia game show ‘Ask Me Another,’ who offers context into our cultural obsession with knowing all sorts of random facts, reminds them that ‘trivia’ literally refers to small or unimportant matters, and confirms that there are in fact gendered elements to knowledge-based insecurities.

Understanding Gevurah

Kylie is trying to get a better understanding of this week’s attribute, Gevurah or, discipline and restraint. Dassi Zar, co-director of Chabad House Bowery’s young professional’s branch, Kehilas Atid, returns to the show as our guide to understanding each weekly attribute. The Jewish tradition of counting the Omer, or Sefirat Haomer, marks the 49 days between the second night of Passover and the start of Shavuot. It’s a time of introspection and an opportunity for spiritual challenge and growth. In this 7-week series, Kylie Unell invites you on her daily journey to make meaning out of this age-old tradition. Each week of the Omer corresponds to a different attribute of God. On each episode, airing weekdays, Kylie explores these various attributes by talking, reading, doing, speaking, and reflecting. 49 Days to Stretch My Soul is a production of Tablet Studios. The show is hosted by Kylie Unell, and is produced and edited by Darone Ruskay, Josh Kross, Quinn Waller, Robert Scaramuccia and Sara Fredman Aeder. Our team includes Stephanie Butnick, Liel Leibovitz, Mark Oppenheimer, and Tanya Singer. Please rate us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. It really helps other people discover the show. You can follow @kylieunell on Instagram. Write to us at podcasts@tabletmag.com. Read more of Tablet’s Omer coverage here.
