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.

47. Confused Heart w/ Nthenya

In the long list of liturgical “I’m Sorrys” Jews recite on Yom Kippur, there's one which continues with: “for the sin... of a confused heart.”

But to the modern ear, confusion sounds like a pretty plausible excuse, not a mea culpa?

Dovid and Adam are joined in The Zal by Nthenya from Kenya - comedian, screenwriter and actor. Don't miss her soon-to-be-released special “Domesticate Me."

Music: A bit of shofar from the Yamma Ensemble. The inimitable Richard Poon sings "Complicated" by Avril Lavigne, Itzhak Perlman plays klezmer with The Klezmatics, and the band Tantz does, too.
