In this episode I shmooze with the Rav of my shul Rav Avi Kannai. We explore a range of topics including:

What is holiness, kedusha? • Acts of kindness and do you really need Torah to be holy or to do holy things? • Jewish influence in the world • Chareidim and serving in the IDF • Israel's current war, the world around us and aliyah • Rav Kannai's two Roshei Yeshiva
