Description

This episode explores Hasidic Jews who lead double lives. Dr. Ayala Fader, author of Hidden Heretics: Jewish Doubt in the Digital Age, joins host Brett Krutzsch for a conversation about Hasidic Jews who privately reject their tradition’s teachings, but who continue to practice Hasidic Judaism publicly. They also discuss why Hasidic communities are flourishing in America in spite of these double-lifers, and they touch on the success of Netflix’s show Unorthodox about a woman who flees from a Hasidic community.

As an extension of the online magazine the Revealer, this podcast explores the social and political roles religion plays throughout the world. How should we make sense of religion's influence on politics, sexuality, race, and people's everyday lives? Produced by NYU's Center for Religion and Media and hosted by Dr. Brett Krutzsch, each month we'll sit down with experts to discuss how religion shapes our world. Join us for this important conversation.
