Part 1
Know Something About the Bible?

Was “an eye for an eye” meant to be taken literally? Was the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge an apple? Did the Jews actually cross the Red Sea? We leap beyond a simple comprehension of the words, as we explore the deeper significance of the stories, and bust some myths and misconceptions along the way.

Part 2
From Womb to Tomb

How to choose a Jewish name? What’s with breaking glass under the Chupa? What happens after death? Peppered with astounding insights along the way, we’ll journey from birth through burial, infusing meaning and relevance into the customs and traditions of the Jewish life cycle.

Part 3
Angels, Blessings, and Evil Eyes

What is the evil eye? Are we accompanied by guardian angels? Do they have wings? Join us as we enter the hidden world of the occult and investigate the fascinating interaction between matter and spirit.

Part 4
Myths, Misconceptions, and Urban Legends

Sometimes the truth can be stranger than fiction. Do Jews believe in Satan? Can a Jew convert out of the faith? Peering into a world of untold mystery, we’ll explore common Jewish myths rooted in non-Jewish beliefs, everything from the bizarre to the downright outrageous.

More Equal than Others:
Ethics of Autonomous Vehicles

Ice cold is the mind that must design the artificial intelligence behind self-driving cars. How do we program these autonomous machines to react to ethical dilemmas on the road?

A car is fast approaching a tunnel entrance when its braking mechanism fails, a child has tripped and is lying across the tunnel. Should the car be designed to move forward and kill the innocent child or swerve into the tunnel wall and kill the innocent driver? Should the engineers program the car to choose based on age, health, or number of victims?

A delightful Talmudic foray into dangerous terrain.

Join us as we explore age old wisdom and contemporary Jewish sources on the ethical quandaries of the 21st century.

No previous knowledge necessary.

Flesh of My Flesh:
Organ Transplants in Jewish Law

What is the Jewish view on organ transplants?

Does Jewish law allow the donation of organs, either from a live donor or one who is deceased?
How do we define the moment of death?
Do we have the authority to give a body part away?
Might it go further, actively encouraging or even morally compelling one to donate?
