Talking about the philosophy of the late Rabbi Shimon Gershon Rosenberg ztzl with Levi Morrow.

After shamelessly stuffing my face with Chanukah donuts I unapologetically explored second temple Judaism(s) with Prof. Malka Simkovich, author of 'Discovering Second Temple Literature: The Stories and Scriptures That Shaped Early Judaism'

Joined by philosopher and author Dr. Tyron Goldschmidt we talk Analytical Philosophy of Judaism and discuss both strengths and weaknesses of a couple (or so) arguments for God.

Schmoozing about Jewish Muslim relations with Chassidic Interfaith dialoguer Lee Weissman.

Has Judaism strayed? According to my guest, a Maimonidean par excellence, it has. We talk the importance of Maimonides, the need for recomiting to Judaisms primary sources, and the rejection of Kabbalah.
