The Grey Area

"One cannot be doing that and be an Eved HaShem." We've all heard some variation of those words, but how true can it be? We live in a world that's either all or nothing, and it can be hard for someone that's slipping to not let go completely.  In this podcast, we discuss the pitfalls of black and white thinking, how just because one watches a movie, he should still go learn a first seder, and how we can build up the courage to live in that Grey Area and be in the right process despite our conflicting behaviors.

Today's discussion is about a Jews way of life in an increasingly post modernist world, a world which seemingly seeks to defy god and eschew religion.  We may be in Galus, but maybe that shouldn't stop us for standing up for what we think is right, or maybe its a symptom of a much deeper problem.
