When you bring together a Modern Orthodox rabbi and a Russian Orthodox priest, of course we're going to start by talking about beards!

Besides grooming, guests Father Victor Potapov (rector of the Russian Orthdox Cathedral of St John the Baptist) and Rabbi Uri Topolosky (leader of Kehilat Pardes, the Rock Creek Synagogue) discussed their definitions of Orthodoxy, what attracts new members to their communities, and how they both met their wives playing guitar in Jerusalem.
