- Could use more perspective. Major blind spots
At the end of every episode I find myself thinking that they need a Reform, Reconstructionist and Renewal rabbi on this podcast. This is a podcast of 3 modern orthodox or conserva-dox people attempting to be the authoritative voices of “modern” Judaism while ignoring a huge chunk of who makes up modern Judaism. I find that in every discussion, the speak as though liberal Judaism doesn’t count or is somehow inherently bad, evil or beneath them. Major blind spot.

Uneven. Stream of consciousness, talking about “feeling” Jewish today from a left wing, Diaspora Jew perspective. Could use more depth and balanced analysis.

This is a great resource to listen to a vast collection of ideas and points of view. It’s informed conversations to help bring Jewish thoughts and ideas into daily listening. Great cast chemistry with a blend of heavier topics and light hearted entertainment.
