    Description

    Mitchell First Esq. examines pre-exilic acrostics that point to the Hebrew letter Pe preceding Ayin in some instances and discusses why that is the case. He also makes a strong case for King Ahashverosh and Xerxes being one and the same. If this is true, how can we determine who Queen Esther is in the historical record? The answer may surprise you.

    Benjy & Benzi are 2 young and inquisitive Orthodox Jews who decided to create the content they always craved but couldn't find elsewhere. When they're not engaging in passionate 1-on-1 discussions, they have long-form conversations with Jewish thinkers from all walks of life. The goal of the show is to shed light on taboo topics, tackle the problems facing Judaism today, delve into philosophical & theological issues, and most importantly - find common ground with prestigious guests from different religious backgrounds who may have views that aren't often shared in mainstream Orthodox circles.
