About this listen

This week's guest is Shaul Magid. Shaul Magid is Professor of Modern Judaism in Residence at Harvard Divinity School and rabbi of the Fire Island Synagogue. His most recent book in The Necessity of Exile: Essays from a Distance.

This conversation explores the complex dynamics of religious identity in the context of recent conflicts, particularly focusing on the implications of the ceasefire, the state of American Jewry, and the evolving narratives surrounding Zionism. We reflect on personal journeys, the challenges of diaspora versus exile, and the importance of solidarity between faith communities. We discuss the role of youth in shaping future conversations and the moral responsibilities of faith communities in responding to the call of this moment.

Avenue M is produced by Bespoken Live with music by Zach Swelber, who plays in Circle It and Mosant.
