In this episode of the
18Forty Podcast, we talk to Rabbi Dr. Ari Lamm, co-founder and president of SoulShop Studios, about doing Jewish “outreach” 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 texts—from the Bible and the Talmud to the Midrash and beyond—have shaped the course of the human story.
In this episode we discuss:
- Is “interfaith dialogue” generally ineffective?
- How did Christianity’s Protestant Reformation impact the Jewish People?
- In what way did chazal “ignite” the American Revolution?
Tune in to hear a conversation about what the Jewish tradition has contributed—and still has to offer—to 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.
