Wondering Jews with Mijal and Noam

Is the Future Non-Denominational? With Rabbi Avi Killip

4/29/202635 min

Do the words that once categorized Jews--reform, conservative, orthodox--still matter today? And if they don't... then what's next? To answer these questions and close out our series on denominations, Noam and Mijal speak with Rabbi Avi Killip, the executive vice president of Hadar. In this can't-miss conversation, Rabbi Killip makes the case for Hadar as a movement that is ready to meet the the challenges of contemporary Jewish life.

  4. Mijal Bitton· Host0:16

    This episode is sponsored in memory of Leo M. Bernstein. And this is part, um, of our series on denominations. Noam, you and I have been having a lot of fun and learning a lot- Yeah ... just talking to different individual scholars, leaders, trying to understand denominations in American Judaism right now. Uh, where are they going? What big questions do they bring up? And I think today's conversation is really gonna allow us to explore a bit more, um, what happens when you have folks who are trying to build, uh, inspiring and thriving Jewish life outside the nominational options that they see in front of them.

  5. Noam Weissman· Host0:53

    This has been a, a really exciting opportunity to think through and explore, uh, the movements and denominations. And, and to end the series, we have with us, uh, an amazing guest, the perfect guest, Rabbi Avi Kilip. She is the executive vice president at Hadar. She's also the host of two podcasts, Responsa- Kind of like you, Noam. R- kinda like me, exactly.
