This week, we are joined by Rabbi Geoff Mitelman, founding director of Sinai and Synapses, a non profit that aims to create a vision of religion that embraces critical thinking and scientific inquiry through classes, lectures, seminars, and fellowship opportunities. We discuss the benefits of constructive disagreement, the distinctions between religious, philosophical, and scientific methodologies, and the parameters of contemporary Zionism.

In The Myth of Sisyphus, Albert Camus wrote that "there is only one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide."

Trigger warning that this episode covers issues related to genocide, suicide, and sexual abuse. If you'd like more information about Camus and/or existential philosophy, see my YouTube channel, BYTE-GEIST, where I have a variety of introductory videos on the topic.
