Adam Mintz 00:03

Okay, welcome everybody to Madlik Disruptive Torah. I’m Rabbi Adam Minsky. Today we welcome Rabbi Avraham Bronstein of the Hampton synagogue in Westhampton beach to join me for a conversation. The conversation today is to hit the rock or not to hit the rock. That is the question. And the sources are in the chat. Everybody’s welcome to look at the sources on the chat. Hello, Rabbi Bronstein. How are you today, Adam?

Avraham Bronstein 00:38

Hello Rabbi. It’s a pleasure to be here with you again, it was a pleasure to spend Shavuot with you, here at the Hampton synagogue where I am right now. And it’s really great to be continuing the conversation with you.
