‘Westworld’ And Questions About the Nature of Our Reality

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.

What’s Jewish about robots becoming sentient and plotting to overthrow humanity? Join Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky for a spirited conversation about HBO’s Westworld, which just concluded its third season, an epic sic-if show rich in timely moral and spiritual challenges such as, “What makes us human?” “Do we have free will?” “What is consciousness?”
