About this listen

 A look at events, trends and people important to Anglo-Charedim, through the eyes of two rabbis with moxie. One is a newbie to Israel - Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein - the other a veteran - Rabbi Simi Lerner. And if that's not enough for them to disagree, they'll interview interesting folks, who may or may not be rabbis or rebbetzins.©2023 Judaism Spirituality

    Cultural independence can be a good thing, except when the topic gets dicey. Exploring what was dead wrong about Satmar's explanation of why they endorsed Mamdani - and why Mishpacha giving them cover is completely incomprehensible.
