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.

We discuss our respective Rosh Hashanas, including Asher’s geopolitical sermons and John’s unexpected rendition of Dem Bones for his congregation. For Yom Kippur, Asher explains how we should approach repentance, both among individuals, and between individuals and “The Place.” We then unpack the Yom Kippur service, including why some Jews pray like Muslims. Of course we had to mention Mr. Spock’s famous gesture.
