OurTribe Podcast With Rabbi Tuvia Kopstein – Details, episodes & analysis

Join us for a warm conversation with a Torah Jew who happens to be an early innovator in the budding marijuana dispensary industry, a hippie jam-band aficionado, a commercial real estate player and a proponent of Glamping (Glam-Camping). From the Grateful Dead to being grateful to the Source of Life, Chanan Simon lives a fascinating life.

Mordechai Danielov is the Founder and CEO of BitWise, a boutique data management company servicing CTOs.  Mordechai was born in very-secular Soviet Georgia, did his time in NYC, and now runs his business from Jerusalem.  He tells his story of exploring every religion before finally trying Judaism, and offers a fascinating take on how the Torah's training of the mind to ask questions puts those who learn it ahead in every field.
