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.

Does 5783 mean that we walked around with dinosaurs? John’s trip to Philly prompts a discussion of the Liberty Bell and the Jewish view on Jewish slavery. We then discuss Asher’s White House adventures, and how Jewish celebrations there never fail to impress. Finally, we wrap up with concepts to internalize for Yom Kippur, and how chickens are for eating (if treated humanely), not for waving above your head.
