Life often presents situations that challenge us to stay within our moral, ethical, and religious boundaries.

Parshas Noach:

Torah and Science: Best of Friends?

The synthesis runs a lot deeper than you think!

Many have grappled with the apparently irreconcilable differences between religion and science; “Religion is the domain of faith; science, that of reason,” is a common attitude. A new read of when G-d disrupts a grand feat of modern engineering and a prophetic vision from the Zohar teaches a refreshing approach.

The Laboratory of Jewish Law: Police Force or Police Service?

In this episode, we delve into the historical and contemporary roles of police in both American society and Jewish tradition. We explore intriguing questions like: Was Moses the first Jewish police officer? What insights can we gain from the earliest Jewish law enforcement units?

Join us as we examine the evolving role of police—from ancient times to today. We'll discuss the vital balance between authority and community service, and the importance of focusing on education, prevention, and respect for every individual's dignity.

Every human being is created in the image of God, and building a fair and just society requires collective responsibility. It's crucial that we move beyond indifference and actively work towards a peaceful and equitable world.

Tune in to understand how these principles can guide us in shaping a more just and compassionate society.
