Rabbis Michael Knopf and Jesse Olitzky are lifelong friends, pop culture fanboys, and lovers of all things Jewish. Join them every other week for a conversation about what’s going on in pop culture from a Jewish perspective and about Judaism through the lens of pop culture.

The new series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is the newest Marvel Studios/Disney+ experiment in original TV content. It continues the stories of Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe after the events of Avengers Endgame. Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky discuss what this show has to say about the ethics of historical memory, the importance of symbolism, and the morality of power. Is a new Captain America relevant in our challenging times, and does it have anything to do with Torah? Join us and find out!
