‘The Last Dance’ and the Challenge of Greatness

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 90’s era Chicago Bulls, led by Michael Jordan, were unquestionably one of the greatest sports teams in history. What does the Bulls’ quest for greatness have to teach us? And what does Jewish tradition have to say about what makes for greatness, and what are its challenges and pitfalls? Join Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky, along with special guest co-host and Chicago-native Rabbi Jeremy “The Great Rabbino” Fine for a spirited conversation about ESPN’s provocative documentary series, The Last Dance.
