    Rethinking Torah

    What is the Torah, really? We spend so much time discussing it and studying it but can you explain what it is? Does Judaism require blind faith or is there actual evidence? We explore the mass revelation at Sinai, unique prophecies that defy explanation, fascinating mitzvot you've never thought about, and the impossible survival of the Jewish people across thousands of years. This isn't your typical Torah class—it's about the big questions and surprising answers.

    The Problem with “I Can’t” & Moses Argument with God

    What happens when God calls—and the human response is resistance? At the Burning Bush, Moses doesn’t rush forward as a confident leader. Instead, he argues. He hesitates. He insists: “Who am I?” … “What if they don’t believe me?” … “I am not a man of words.” In this episode, we explore one of the most honest conversations in the Torah: Moses arguing with God—and what it teaches us about faith, fear, and the dangerous theology of saying “I can’t.”

    Finding G-d in Real Life

    This episode explores what real personal and spiritual growth looks like through Torah, lived experience, and the story of the burning bush. The conversation focuses on how growth often comes through every day moments. We discuss the balance between prayer and practical action, faith and responsibility, and how Judaism encourages both effort and reliance on God. The episode also examines society’s definition of success versus a spiritual one, asking how wealth, comfort, and ambition can support growth—or distract from it. Ultimately, this episode reminds us that everyday moments and challenges are not obstacles to spiritual life, but the very places where growth happens, when we make conscious choices and stay connected to purpose.

    From Bondi Beach to Chanukah

    How do we light candles, sing songs of gratitude, spin the dreidel, and eat latkes - in the shadow of devastating loss and tragedy? This episode begins with that tension. On one end of the world, the beautiful celebration of Chanukah at Bondi Beach was shattered by an antisemitic attack. We remember moments when Jews lit Chanukah candles in places like Bergen-Belsen, clinging to meaning when there was almost nothing left. We reflect on the haunting video of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, and on Viktor Frankl’s insight that “those who have a why to live can bear almost any how.” Chanukah does not ask us to ignore suffering. It asks us to hold light and darkness together - to choose meaning, resilience, and hope, even when life feels unbearably fractured.
