Truth & Whiskey #2- Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan & The Need for Content

Hey Prophets!  BOTB is back after an early spring break and getting ready for season 2. But before that happens, we'd like to share our second Truth & Whiskey episode, the monthly episode where we talk about less intense topics and shoot the breeze a but more in our conversation. This conversation wasn't intended to be this way, but when we turn on the recorder, who knows where we end up! We ended up discussing a figure in modern history who has made a big impact on our way of thought, Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan. We hope you enjoy our perspective, and as always, maybe you'll learn something too. We discuss: the need for content (2 minutes), Aryeh Kaplan (5), the style of the Me'am Lo'ez (28), a little bit on meditation (38), believing in science but not in God (48), the respect you must feel while studying Torah (57), an advanced definition of Free Will (1:01), a little intro to our next topic- bitachon and emunah (1:09).

Truth & Whiskey- Star Wars Episode 1: The Torah Perspective

Welcome to our first episode of Truth & Whiskey!  Once a month we will have a lighter, looser, but just as in-depth, discussion on something outside of our usual topics. It may lean towards Jewish ideas and thought, secular culture and lifestyle, or a combination of both. This week we get in the weeds on one of Jude's favorite topics, Star Wars! Enjoy as we discuss the franchise from a POV you've never heard before. A few other topics are on the table as well, so make sure to listen to the whole thing! Original Publish Date: March 14, 2018
