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.
Join Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky as they discuss the new Netflix original film The Two Popes. In this wide-ranging conversation, we discuss the real lives of clergy, current trends in world religion, responsibility, guilt, forgiveness, and interfaith understanding.
