Episode Description from the Publisher

In a world overflowing with mitzvos but often short on meaning, what does it mean to have a Jewish mission? Rabbis Adlerstein and Lerner explore whether modern religious life has lost the language of purpose, and why clarity about why we serve Hashem may be just as important as knowing what to do. A thoughtful conversation about meaning, agency, and responsibility in contemporary Jewish life. Make sure to check out Rabbi Simi Lerner's podcast Judaism From Within.
