  • Jeff Bloom: Some Guy Wrote a Book about Jewish Theology [Rationality 1/4]
    In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Jeff Bloom about the assumptions that Orthodox Judaism makes about ideology, and how we ground our faith even if we don’t have irrefutable evidence.

    - Why have we designed a system in which we don’t rummage around assumptions?
    - How do we read the Bible in an Orthodox lens?
    - Is Orthodoxy merely a warm infrastructure or is it a rationally grounded approach to life?
