Episode notes

Hello, and welcome back to J-TV Podcasts!

My name is Sam Kaufman, again joining Ollie Anisfeld to discuss whether Judaism and general Jewish observance in 2021 is too hard to keep - and why that is.

We’re going to speak about the role of emphasis in Jewish thought – how different sects with Judaism will agree upon the fundamentals 100%, but it’s the way they prioritise the different aspects – that’s what distinguishes them from one another.
