Two Rabbis, Three Opinions – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Is kiddush Hashem always coupled with the performance of mitzvos? Can it be performed even without intention? Even at the same time as doing an aveirah?

 Join us as we interview pioneer podcaster Rabbi Avremel Kivelevitz.

You can find Rav Kivelevitz's podcasts here.

We’ve all seen the carefully crafted and always polite opinion pieces by Rabbi Avi Shafran. Now meet the person deftly holding the pen, and why he moved from a successful calling as a mechanech to the often-thankless task of public defender of Torah values for Agudah.

Events, issues, and personalities in the Israeli Torah world, for people comfortable with their Anglo background and chinuch. Typically, an episode will begin with some conversation between Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein and a rabbinic colleague, that will segue into an interview with an exciting guest.

What is the Torah's preference about dealing with challenges to our way of life?

Why are some intent on ruling out G-d's presence in absolutely all matters, while some believe it is obviously the case? How do these views impact upon our behavior?

Overheated rhetoric - the many prices we pay for it, including assassination attempts, hopeless division, and blindness to the truth.

Is their coming together in massive protests in the West an unholy marriage of convenience? Or is there something more than that?  Two rabbis, a bunch of opinions.

It's difficult, but not impossible, for Anglos who identify as charedi to speak calmly and dispassionately about the draft issue. It becomes soooooo much harder when you have to listen to some of the most contorted arguments that some "spokesmen" have put out for popular consumption. If your reasonable self is taking a pounding, you are not alone.

History forced the Torah community to develop a bastion mentality. The unintended consequence of that has been neglecting the intrinsic values of Eretz Yisrael, and of Jewish nationhood.
