Rabbis Michael Knopf and Jesse Olitzky are lifelong friends, pop culture fanboys, and lovers of all things Jewish. Join them every other week for a conversation about what’s going on in pop culture from a Jewish perspective and about Judaism through the lens of pop culture.
Hawkeye, the MCU hero everyone loves to hate (or hates to love), is back with his very own limited series on Disney+ and this time…it’s personal. Seriously. As the sharp-shooting Avenger wrestles with grief and guilt and tries to make amends for his morally questionable choices, he also must come to terms with what it means to be a role model and take down a mysterious criminal syndicate, all while trying to make it home for Christmas. Join Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky as they discuss why (or whether) Hawkeye matters, what it means to be a hero, the process of Teshuvah, and the true meaning of Christmas (just kidding).
