    Podchad Yitzchak 6: Pesach 52 with Avidan HaLivni

    I did not know Avidan before we recorded this. We hit it off. It's a very cool Maamar with lots of different applications. Just trust me, this one's really cool.

    Podchad Yitzchak 5: Shabbos 9 with R. Aryeh Bernstein

    After being Facebook friends for years, I finally "meet" Aryeh and get into a really good conversation, telling stories, pulling books off shelves, making interesting observations, and its going great until we realize we need to start recording the episode. 

    I think this is the best one so far. This episode goes lots of different places and a covers a lot of cool ideas and interesting discussions with a person who does cool stuff. Listen to it, or don't, I'm not your mom.

    Podchad Yitzchak: Sukkos 19 with R. Aryeh Klapper

    The thing about R. Klapper is that I genuinely do not know where he's gonna end up when he starts talking.
    This goes to some fun places.

    Judaism From The Ground Up: Man is Created Alone

    Episode One of my "Judaism from the Ground Up" series, an attempt to articulate a philosophy of Judaism for those who, like me, have had a lot to rethink over the past 6 years or so.
    In this episode: Order vs. Chaos, Tzimtzum, Division of Labor in society, words I may or may not have pronounced correctly.

    The Kli Yakar: On The Non-Binary Nature of Reality

    The Kli Yakar and his commentary are discussed. Heinreich Graetz is dragged. The ramifications of secret chavrutas in the Moreh Nevuchim are explicated. Future episodes are alluded to. Paternity is hedged. Manichaeism is too briefly mentioned. The line between mysticism and rationalism is blurred. The color red becomes important at one point. Half-measures are accepted as the best we're gonna get from the 1600's. The nature of the corrupting influence of wealth is pondered.
