What is the connection between Passover and social justice, and what unique insight do the texts and traditions of the holiday have to offer for this time, when we confront a pandemic that disproportionately impacts communities of color and the poor? In this episode (recorded during Passover in April 2020), Rabbi Knopf and special guest Kristin Gorin (chair of Temple Beth-El’s Social Action committee) explore these and other questions. “Socially Distant, Spiritually Close” is hosted and recorded by Rabbi Michael Knopf and produced by Dr. Gillian Frank. Theme music is composed and produced by Stephen Frost. Cover art was designed by Judith Rushin, using a photograph by Miriam Aniel.
