Daniel Hagler and Aryeh Englander: Can Jews Who Stay Talk With Jews Who Left? [OTD 2/3]

18Forty is celebrating its fifth year LIVE in NYC on June 9. Reserve your seats today!

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, David Bashevkin moderates a dialogue between Aryeh Englander—the ex-Orthodox Jew known as “Philo Judeas,” who is a moderator of the ambitious Frum/OTD Dialogue Facebook group—and Daniel Hagler, a frum surgeon and a moderator of the Facebook group Respectfully Debating Judaism.

Together, we talk about seeking meaning, uncovering religious truths, and making the most of the precious gift we call “life.” In this episode we discuss:

How do we know if Judaism is “real” and true?
How is a religious commitment like a romantic one?
Which is more important: Judaism being true or Judaism being useful?

Tune in to hear a conversation about the ways in which we chase truth and determine how we ought to live our lives.

Interview begins at 19:29.
Follow-up Hagler interview begins at 1:19:04.
