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.
Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky break down Sam Mendes’ groundbreaking World War I epic ‘1917’ and discuss Jewish values related to war and peace. The film and Jewish tradition have a lot to say about the morality of waging war in our time. Enter the trenches with Rabbis K+O for this podcast to end all podcasts.
