Description

What is the difference between Jewish education that simply passes along information and learning that truly stays with you for a lifetime? In this episode, we address a critical question facing our community: Should we focus our resources on fighting antisemitism, or invest them in strengthening Jewish literacy and engagement? We wrap up with a traditional, chavruta-style Talmud study, examining how Ben Zoma’s teachings in Pirkei Avot (4:1) offered a new framework for Jewish continuity after the fall of the Second Temple.
