In Episode 162, I converse with Rabbi Mark Wildes, founder of Manhattan Jewish Experience (MJE), which is a warm and open community where millennial men and women in their 20s and 30s can explore Jewish life and meet new people. I recently finished MJE's senior fellowship program, in which I studied 3 hours of Torah every Wednesday night for a year.
We discuss Rabbi Wildes' legal and Jewish educations, community building, the overcoming of obstacles, the understanding of our souls through the Tanya, the symbiotic relationship of religion and science, the challenges millenial Jews face, the art of planning, and more.
