Judaism Demystified: A Podcast for the Perplexed - Find us on Instagram, Spotify, Apple Podcasts at: Judaism.Demystified - Co-hosted by Benjy & Benzi | Conversations with renowned figures (of various academic disciplines) about topics that aren't part of mainstream Orthodox curriculum. - Born and raised in England, Rabbi Shmuel Phillips has spent almost two decades studying in Yeshiva and Kollel in Israel, during which time he has also completed a law degree from the University of London. Shmuel currently resides in Rechavia, Jerusalem, with his wife Rivka and four children. There he divides his time between Torah study and managing a suite of serviced offices in downtown Jerusalem. He's the author of the outstanding book 'Judaism Reclaimed', a unique work which presents the reader with over 70 essays focusing on philosophical and theological discussions which emerge from a thoughtful, contemporary engagement with the Torah’s teachings. While each chapter begins by exploring a phenomenon specific to a particular parashah, this analysis is then placed in its broader context and woven into an examination of the underlying fundamentals of Jewish philosophy and theology which is developed in the course of the book. Particular attention is paid to the writings and worldviews of Rambam and Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, who stand out for the manner in which they took up the challenge of responding openly and rationally to the challenges faced by Orthodox Judaism in their respective eras. The book attempts to follow their willingness to embrace the disciplines of logic and science, seeking to avoid clashes between them and the Torah without reducing the significance of either. - Find out more about the book at www.JudaismReclaimed.com - Buy it now on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Judaism-Reclai... - Part 6 of 6
