In this episode of This Pardes Life, Rabbi Alex Israel talks to Rick Goldberg. Rick is a longstanding friend of Pardes who has written "Judaism in Biological Perspective: Biblical Lore and Judaic Practices." The conversation discusses topics as varied as Judaism's view of the "Yetzer", the sexual drive, a biological view of the effects of Jewish marital law and even why synagogue services are so long!
