Shmoozing
We live in times of unprecedented change and confusion – identity politics, war, loneliness, social division, the promise and the threat of artificial intelligence, woke culture…
I believe that Judaism has answers.
But these answers need to be unpacked.
SHMOOZING is more than a podcast. It’s a platform to create a community of thoughtful voices on important topics, from personal to social, from communal to global. Let’s explore how Torah can provoke us to deepen our understanding of the times we live in, confront the challenges we face, and bring some light into the world.

Ep 5- The Evil of Indifference with Sister Carol Rittner
We'd LOVE your feedback. Shoot us a text!
When evil proliferates, why do so few people actively stand against it? Why do we sometimes allow ourselves to remain indifferent? It's a question that we could pose on Germans and the West in World War II, it's a question we could pose on the West today in light of Hamas' atrocities of October 7. And perhaps it's a question we can pose on ourselves.
Dr. Carol Rittner is an American nun and Holocaust historian. She is a Distinguished Emerita Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies and Dr. Marsha Raticoff Grossman Professor of Holocaust Studies at Stockton University.
Dr. Rittner produced a film titled The Courage to Care which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary (Short Subject). Dr. Rittner is also the former director of the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity.
