Rabbi Steve Leder is the Senior Rabbi of Wilshire Boulevard Temple in Los Angeles (one of the largest synagogues in the world!!) and the author of multiple books including his most recent release, The Beauty of What Remains.

In this conversion, Rabbi Steve and Ben talk about Judaism as a set of behaviors, the real enemy of religion and faith, how death makes life meaningful, and the non-linear nature of grief- something Rabbi Leder came to know after his father lost a 10-year battle to Alzheimer’s. They discuss the role of religion and how important it is that now, more than ever, we nurture our spirituality and lean on the teachings that supported those who came before us.

“What do I want my legacy to be? What do I want people to remember me for?”

This week, Ben sits down with friend, activist, actor and author Tyler Merritt. You may know Tyler for his pluck, honesty and contagious passion to fight for equality and justice for all. In this episode, Ben and Tyler discuss race and Christianity, the power of grace and redemption, unconditional love, and how each of us has the opportunity to build a legacy that can change the world. 

Tyler’s frankness about his own humanity is refreshing. He helps remind us that although we are fallible, and although we sin, and that mistakes are inevitable, we are still worthy of love and belonging.
