Each time Jewish thinkers pushed beyond the bounds of ideas from the past, they were labeled heretics or apostates. But the word, "heretic" comes from the Latin meaning, "to choose," and is "an opinion which disagrees with or conflicts with those who generally accept something as being authoritative, proper, or correct." In other words, a Heretic is a person who has applied their own intellect and experience of the world to emerge with a Truth that explains the Universe. This is a long-winded way of stating that, at Heretics Unite!, we explore that space which may diverge from the teachings of your childhood Sunday School teacher about the God, traditions, myths and purpose of Judaism. Join us each episode and listen with an open mind to see what feels right and what is still not quite there for you. Better yet, reach out to Rabbi Jay TelRav to join him on an upcoming episode to discuss the ideas together.

Episode 20 - Elul III - Ashamnu
This week we tackle the dissonance one may feel as they join in the collective confession of sins when they cannot relate to the transgressions they are claiming to have committed. How can a non-dualist (or anyone else for that matter) make use of this potent moment?
