Rabbis Shai Held and Tali Adler explore one of the most provocative images in rabbinic tradition: that at Sinai, God held a mountain over the Israelites’ heads and threatened them into accepting the Torah. What does this say about the nature of faith, agency, and obligation? In this episode, Rabbi Shai Held and Rabbi Tali Adler explore deep questions about obligation, autonomy, commitment, and love. What does it mean to choose God in a world where God so often feels hidden? And how do commitment, tradition, and personal relationships shape a life of religious meaning?
