A Rabbi and a Lawyer

Walk into a bar Podcast

Relatively well informed and irreverent musings on religion, news, and society. Grab a seat and join old friends, Rabbi Asher Lopatin and his former synagogue president, John Geiringer. Imagine sharing a drink with two news junkies who keep an open mind, challenge the status quo, and love discussing the comedy, tragedy, absurdity, and reality of the Jewish experience. Throughout their discussions, John will ask Asher provocative questions that congregants wish they could ask their rabbis.

Podcast Host(s)

Matir Asurim

Did Asher visit Africa to avoid Pesach cleaning?  We discuss his recent trip to Ghana (after Syria), and John suspects that Asher is a CIA officer.  Asher describes the slave trade artifacts he witnessed, and contrasts them to slavery in the ancient Jewish tradition.  He then answers Passover FAQs and reminds us to remember the goal of our seders.   We grapple with having gratitude for freedom while our people remain in tunnels.  Of course, no Jewish podcast is complete without referencing a problematic case of someone shouting “Heil Hitler.”
