Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Making Sense of the Nonsensical with Rabbi Cohen
Q: Rabbi Cohen, how do you teach that in some places, we try and be literal, and in some places, we try and be metaphoric?
Rabbi Cohen explains that the Jewish tradition has various levels of meaning in every text, allowing for both literal and interpretive approaches without losing the Torah's power.
Reuben vs Judah with Rabbi Klein
Q: What led you to move from the more traditional approach to the approach offered by Rashi and his disciples, a Peshat approach?
Rabbi Klein had an 'aha moment' after seminary when he realized that the Book of Genesis does not say what he always assumed, leading him to read it without traditional biases.
On Whom Does the Spirit Rest?
Q: Is prophecy and mysticism the same?
Prophecy involves direct communication from God, while mysticism arises in the absence of prophecy and seeks a connection to the divine spirit.
On Whom Does the Spirit Rest?
Q: What does the term 'spirit' suggest to us?
The term 'spirit', or Ruach, refers to an abstract connection with God, akin to a sixth sense that cannot be detected by any of our five senses.
Coming Close to God Through Human Relationships
Q: Can you explain how Jews have reinterpreted the phrase 'an eye for an eye' away from vengeance?
Ancient interpreters aimed to limit the punishment and emphasize justice, reflecting that compensation is more meaningful than vengeance.
