    • Mark Wildes: Is Modern Orthodox Outreach the Way Forward? [Denominations 3/4]
      Jan 27 2026
      In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we speak with Mark Wildes, founder and director of Manhattan Jewish Experience, about Modern Orthodox outreach.

      In this episode we discuss:
      • Why aren’t more aspiring rabbis attracted to kiruv?
      • How can we help people make the transition from outreach programs to the “real world”?
      • How can we make the case for Shabbos for the masses?
      Tune in to hear a conversation about the “non-professional kiruv” of the Modern Orthodox community.

      Interview begins at 22:45.

      Rabbi Mark Wildes was ordained from Yeshiva University, but before becoming a rabbi, he received a JD from the Cardozo School of Law and a Masters in International Affairs from Columbia University. Since founding MJE 20 years ago, Rabbi Wildes has become one of America’s most inspirational and dynamic Jewish educators. He lives with his wife Jill and their children Yosef, Ezra, Judah and Avigayil on the Upper West Side where they maintain a warm and welcoming home for all.

    • Zevi Slavin: ''To be a mystic is to be human at its most raw" [18 Questions, 40 Mystics]
      Jan 20 2026
      This episode is sponsored by the podcast Women Talking Mitzvot.

      This podcast is in partnership with Rabbi Benji Levy and Share. Learn more at 40mystics.com.

      As a Chabad Hasid, Rabbi Zevi Slavin’s formative years were spent immersed in the rich traditions of Chassidut and Kabbala. This upbringing provided him with a unique lens through which he continues to learn, study, and connect with others.

      Drawing on his background, Slavin created “Seekers of Unity,” a Youtube channel dedicated to exploring the philosophy and history of mysticism across diverse traditions. He founded this channel with the goal of forming a community focused on creating a more intimate world together.

      Now, he joins us to answer eighteen questions with Rabbi Dr. Benji Levy on Jewish mysticism including people’s inherent divinity, tapping into the potential of modernity, and the perpetual experience of mount Sinai.
