Two Rabbis, Three Opinions

Author: Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein

A look at events, trends and people important to Anglo-Charedim, through the eyes of two rabbis with moxie. One is a newbie to Israel - Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein - the other a veteran - Rabbi Simi Lerner. And if that's not enough for them to disagree, they'll interview interesting folks, who may or may not be rabbis or rebbetzins.

Why Are We Doing This? Mission, Meaning, and the Purpose of Jewish Life
Episode 7
Wednesday, 28 January, 2026

In a world overflowing with mitzvos but often short on meaning, what does it mean to have a Jewish mission? Rabbis Adlerstein and Lerner explore whether modern religious life has lost the language of purpose, and why clarity about why we serve Hashem may be just as important as knowing what to do. A thoughtful conversation about meaning, agency, and responsibility in contemporary Jewish life. Make sure to check out Rabbi Simi Lerner's podcast Judaism From Within.
