In this episode, we discuss how Jewish Democracy is a contradiction in terms. How Democracy is not a value, but a tool, the political protests, and criticisms for all jews on the religious spectrum. Why is politics so hot now? We further talk about Cancel Culture, and not listening to our fellow citizens. The value we found in Debate Club, with its vast political spectrum and the power of listening. Ezra discusses the terrorism situation in Jenin, his experience at checkpoints while in the army, and the Palestinian people’s reactions. We discuss Active vs. Passive participation in life, Ezra’s book – “The Soul Thief” coming out soon! Along with the toils of publishing, the writing process, pirates and more! How does he navigate dips in religiosity? Lastly, meeting his wife, and what is most important in finding a partner?
