What's the place of reason in religion? Among the most reasonable human beings alive, Rabbi Josh Yuter joins the Holy Madness to discuss rabbinic authority, being a community rabbi, Torah law, getting free of ideologies through the caring application of reason.

For more on his thoughts about religious politics and rabbinic recognition - a subject he's been writing about for over 15 years - including an MA thesis - read this blog essay: https://joshyuter.com/2019/06/24/judaism/religious-politics-and-rabbinic-recognition/. There's much more there too.
