Description

Join us for a captivating episode as we spotlight Rabbi Yitzhak Berdugo's important book, "Understanding Ḥazal," which offers an English translation of Rabbeinu Avraham Ben HaRambam's guide to deciphering the words of our Sages. This meticulously crafted guide, complete with an elegantly typeset Hebrew translation, is enriched with insights from Ḥakhamim throughout the generations. Discover why Rabbi Berdugo believes that now, more than ever, understanding the teachings of our Sages is crucial, particularly in the face of scrutiny from academia, atheists, and other skeptics. Reflecting on his personal journey to Torah observance, Rabbi Berdugo sheds light on the challenges confronting the current generation and how the classical Geonic-Sepharadi tradition can serve as a formidable defense against modern assaults on Judaism. In this enlightening conversation, we uncover the significance of properly grasping Aggadah and its potential role in elevating the next generation of Torah study.

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.
