What’s this Asarah B’Tevet fast all about? We then swing on the pendulum between sorrow and joy at the hostage exchange. John’s representative, Brad Schneider (D-IL), discusses being a Jewish congressman these days. We trade notes on the Inauguration, our modern hakhel ceremony. John encourages Asher to be more like Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, and Asher hopes his interfaith colleagues are less like the cancelled Imam. We end by imagining Trump Tower in Gaza City.
A Rabbi and a Lawyer Walk Into a Bar
Grab a seat and join old friends, Rabbi Asher Lopatin and his former synagogue president, John Geiringer. Imagine sharing a drink with two news junkies who keep an open mind, challenge the status quo, and love discussing the comedy, tragedy, absurdity, and reality of the Jewish experience. Throughout their discussions, John will ask Asher provocative questions that congregants wish they could ask their rabbis.
