In this episode of the
18Forty Podcast, we talk to Rabbi Dr. Ari Lamm, co-founder and president of SoulShop Studios, about doing Jewish âoutreachâ to non-Jews.
Jewish texts are usually considered to be kept away from the outside world. But according to Rabbi Lamm, this is largely a misconception, as Jewish textsâfrom the Bible and the Talmud to the Midrash and beyondâhave shaped the course of the human story.
In this episode we discuss:
- Is âinterfaith dialogueâ generally ineffective?
- How did Christianityâs Protestant Reformation impact the Jewish People?
- In what way did chazal âigniteâ the American Revolution?
Tune in to hear a conversation about what the Jewish tradition has contributedâand still has to offerâto the broader culture.
Interview begins at 7:58.
Rabbi Dr. Ari Lamm is Co-Founder and President of SoulShop Studios, a new media venture for faith-driven Gen Z audiences, and Chief Executive of the Bnai Zion Foundation.
