In this episode of Truths: Jewish Wisdom for Today—part of the Seeking Ecstasy season—Rabbi Dr. Levi Brackman visits Jerusalem to sit down with Yehuda Ber Zirkind for their second full-length conversation. After their first discussion in New Haven sparked passionate debate, they explored:
What “Jewish theology” really is: A living dialogue about God, tradition, and community rather than a fixed creed.
The possibility of knowing the Divine: Wrestling with doubt, agnosticism, and the nature of spiritual “knowledge.”
Personal versus collective faith: How individual experiences and Jewish peoplehood shape one’s spiritual journey.
Cultivating holiness today: Practical guidance for infusing the mundane with sanctity and living ethically in a secular age.
