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.
The new Marvel Cinematic Universe television series ‘Loki,’ currently streaming on Disney+, follow the eponymous God of Mischief on adventures in space and time. It’s a mind-bending and thought provoking show, exploring issues like the nature of time, free will, destiny, and “glorious purpose” (as the Master of Magic likes to say). Judaism also has a lot to say about these subjects. How do Jewish views of these concepts and those expressed in ‘Loki’ compare and contrast? And what can they teach us? Join Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky as they explore the Sacred Timeline and the plain old Sacred in this mischievous episode!
