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.

The new year always brings the possibility of a fresh start, so Asher and John discuss the value of incremental improvement, both in jiu-jitsu and in life. Asher explains what to expect when Rosh Hashana falls on shabbat (what, no shofar?). We then unpack all those holiday greetings you’ll be hearing over the next few days. Once you’ve plumped up from holiday meals, it’s time for the Jewish version of intermittent fasting.
