Listener Feedback with David Bashevkin

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we hear questions, criticisms, complaints, thoughts, and feedback from our listener community.

We respond to your comments about the direction of the podcast, the diversity of Jewish experience, and the increased centrality of Israel of our lives. In this episode we discuss:

  • How has the 18Forty mission evolved in light of changes in the world and in Jewish life?
  • Is there an opposite phenomenon to “gvir culture”?
  • How should we discuss important issues that are contentious and divisive, such as the Haredi draft and the identity of the messiah?

Tune in to hear a conversation about how 18Forty might become “a beis medrash for the Jewish People.”
