Rebelliousness, Parnassa, and Hirsch: the Podcast Edition
Just when you thought it was safe to venture out onto the internet again, B’chol D’rachecha goes and adds a brand new media category to its growing portfolio. Pushing back against the frontiers of technology, I’ve officially caught up with the 19th Century by adding audio to my existing text content.
Well, for this one event, at any rate. Then I’ll head right back to my damp cave, I assure you.
Responsibility (and credit) rest with Yaakov Wolff at Shtark Tank who kindly invited me to an episode of his Spotify podcast:
In fact, I think Yaakov did a wonderful job gently prodding me through a conversation that touched on some topics very close to my heart, including the current state of Hirschianism, the value of (tempered) independent thinking, working as a ben Torah, and a short history of nisyonos.
If you haven’t heard it yet - and you’ve got 49:53 minutes free - then do give it a listen and tell me what I got wrong.
Great episode, I really enjoyed. Do you remember how you first came across Rav Hirsch's teachings, and what made such a strong impression on you?
Thanks so much, it was a great conversation that has already generated lots of feedback!!
