We're changing things up in this episode! Our guest Rabbi Joel Goldstein asks the questions — challenging Rabbi Matthew about the experimental home ritual "Oasis Time." This innovative practice is inspired by Shabbat but not bound by its traditional customs. Rabbi Matthew and his family have been testing it out in an effort to capture the essence of spiritual refreshment in a shareable way for our time. Join us for thought-provoking dialogue about the edges of religious evolution between two scholars who come from very different places along the spectrum of Jewish practice. We are also briefly joined by Joel's dog!
Rabbi Joel Goldstein is a former engineer turned Rabbi who brings his love for Torah, education, curiosity, and deep Jewish knowledge to all aspects of life. Rabbi Joel received ordination from Hebrew College and from Rabbi Daniel Landes. He is currently an instructor in Jewish legal codes for semikha (ordination) students at Yashrut. He is the former Campus Rabbi at Syracuse University and spent his last year in Rabbinical school serving as the Rabbi of the only year round synagogue in Hull, MA. In his free time, Rabbi Joel loves spending time with his family and creating source sheets on various Jewish topics.
