Buckle up for this episode because we get really existential on this one! We discuss the idea of reality: is reality really virtual reality? What is real? What makes something real? Using pesukim from Tehillim "Hayinu Kicholmim" and the concept of "Hevel" found in Yirmiyahu and Koheles, we search for an answer and learn the importance of keeping our lives in pursuit of what's real.
