Why Do Jews Do That?
With Rabbi Avram Mlotek
Most of us turn to Google with quick questions, but for answers to deeper or more nuanced questions about Judaism—from the boundaries of what’s kosher to whether Jews have their own version of confession—even the best of search engines can fall short. Rabbi Avram Mlotek, author of Why Jews Do That: Or 30 Questions Your Rabbi Never Answered, will reflect on the Jewish questions Google can’t answer with Rabbi Aaron, and then will take all the tough questions you’ve been afraid to ask.
