#1 - Radical Kindness, Human Sacrifice, and The Way of The Land

#5 - Artificial Intelligence, Passover, and our personal relationship with God

We're back after a multi-month hiatus. This week we shared a more informal conversation around the connection of A.I., what it means to be human, our relationship with God, and Passover. It's another juicy week, and we're excited to be back!

#4 - The origin of the false narrative for why Jews “aren’t trustworthy”

Well, possibly… On this week's episode of Going Off, we explore the #1 play in the anti-semitic playbook. It’s another juicy week as we review last week’s & this week’s Torah reading. We explore how one can commit to a life of truth when dealing with the ‘real world’ (which doesn’t always lend itself to honesty) which we learn through Jacob’s transformation from being a trickster into “The Man of Truth."

#3 - Perfecting Giving, The Rules of Lying, & Holding Back to Make Space for Loving Kindness

It’s another juicy week as we dig into Toldot (Toldos) which means ‘The Offspring. We transition our story from Isaac to his sons which mirror the Cain & Abel story (a story that echoes through time). We ‘Go-Off’ a few times, exploring the idea of doing what needs to be done, how to perfect love & kindness, and deception.

#2 - What To Look For In A Partner, Finding Your Soulmate, & Why Giving Is The Key To A Happy Life

This week Justin & Izzy explore what to look for in a partner, how to find a soulmate, & why giving is the key to a happy life. It’s another juicy week as we dig into Parashah Chayei Sarah, The Life of Sarah (Abraham’s wife).

#1 - Radical Kindness, Human Sacrifice, and The Way of The Land

Welcome to Going Off, a weekly discussion about how ancient learnings are even more relevant today.  This week we recapped the first three Parashot or 'Portions' of the Torah, before discussing Parasha Vayera, the fourth Parasha of the year.  We covered The Beginning, God's several impulses to end it all, reason's why we are all responsible for each other, and ended with a man's anticipated sacrifice of his son. We 'Go Off' a few times exploring the difference between Parashot vs. Chapters, how to be giving, and why the first book of the Torah is a pre-requisite to living a meaningful life. Welcome to Episode #1, we hope you enjoy the first of many conversations. - Justin & Izzy --- Show Notes: Rabbi Foreman, the gentlemen who’s ‘blowing Justin’s mind’ with his ‘saga’ approach to the Torah: https://www.alephbeta.org/ [https://www.alephbeta.org/]
