Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

This week we restart the annual Torah readings with the Parsha of Bereishit. Most of Bereishit is about Hashem's creating the world and man within it. There are so many questions that we can ask on this Parsha but the one that we wanted to focus on was the discussion of how literal we should be taking the creation story. The science tells us that the universe is almost 14 billion years old and that earth is 4.5 billion years old. How do we reconcile that while remaining true to God and His Torah? We invited our friend Aryeh Berman to join us for this meaningful and important discussion.

Book recommendation: Challenge of Creation by Rav Dr Natan Slifkin https://www.biblicalnaturalhistory.org/product-page/the-challenge-of-creation-israel

(Unfortunately, we don't get a bonus if you buy this book, but we recommend it nonetheless)

As we start the month of Elul, we go into the 40 days of Teshuva building up to Yom Kippur. What is the point of this time and what are we supposed to do with it? Yishai and Ethan have some important ideas to share on the topic.

In our opening episode to IDK I'm not a Rabbi, we will be discussing the question of what a rabbi really is. What makes someone a rabbi and what makes us not rabbis? Join Ethan and Yishai for what should be an interesting topic.
