What did the Chassidic Rabbi say to the Jewish guy who grew up with Matzo and Easter eggs? The Zal is an informal conversation on (usually?) profound ideas found in and beyond Jewish life and traditions. Tune in with Adam Valen Levinson, Sociology Fellow at Yale, and Dovid Grossbaum, Rabbi at Chabad of Indiana. The Zal is sponsored in part by grants from The Bananaschewitz Foundation and Schmendl's Herring Deodorant.
