I’m happy to announce that things are moving along quite nicely with the podcast. We’ve already recorded our first interview, which was with Rabbi Bradley Artson of American Jewish University and despite my inexperienced bumbling about, the Rabbi gives an incredibly interesting interview.

Also my co-host Yair and I have recorded a … [Read more…]

I suppose I could have Googled him but I didn’t and to be honest, I’m glad I didn’t because this way I was able to walk into the room with few preconceptions and an open mind. This was a small invitation only event held in someone’s home and I would say there were about 30 people in attendance. The majority … [Read more…]
