Transcript:

Welcome to Madlik.  My name is Geoffrey Stern and at Madlik we light a spark or shed some light on a Jewish Text or Tradition.  Along with Rabbi Adam Mintz we host Madlik Disruptive Torah on clubhouse every Thursday and share it as the Madlik podcast on your favorite platform.

I may have once remarked that when, for instance, the ultra-orthodox require all their men learn Torah and not work for a living, they are re-creating a tradition and a world that never existed. In this week’s parsha Ha’azinu, Moses admonishes us to “Ask your parent, who will inform you” and we explore the preservation and invention of custom in the Rabbinic Tradition up unto today. So join us for Inventing Tradition.
