Fantastic - so appreciative of this podcast! What a podcast should be … actual back and forth, topics that stand on the pinnacle of the world … except in the episode on purpose of Torah it was not clarified how acc. to R’ S.R. Hirsch learning intricacies of whether one can “be mefagel with a Chatzi Matir” integrates into Torah as narrative and mission … please do a follow up !

Such a refreshing look at the chareidi/yeshivish world today. It is incredibly validating to see these two esteemed, highly intelligent, eloquent, and genuinely frum individuals share views similar to my own; I no longer feel like a kofer for holding certain views of daas torah, etc. Thank you for what you are doing and please don’t stop your enriching conversations.

It’s hard to say how large the intended audience is for this podcast, but I’m very glad it exists. Rabbis Adlerstein & Lerner provide a unique viewpoint that is not at all reflected in the mainstream Jewish discourse — that of two Anglo charedim on the Israeli scene who are willing to take a critical view of their own community without in any way disassociating themselves from it. The topics and people discussed and debated are very “inside baseball” and most people who care about these subjects probably don’t want to hear what they have to say, but if there is to ever be any social change within the Israeli charedi world, it will be because of people and discussions like these.
