Behind The Bima Interview
Have we made Judaism too comfortable?
In this episode of Behind the Bima, the Rabbis are joined by Rabbi Danial Kalish to confront a growing shift in Jewish education: the move toward constant affirmation, emotional insulation, and making Torah feel “gishmak.” Is that producing strength — or dependency?
Is today’s chinuch culture is building resilience or softening it. What is the role of struggle in avodas Hashem? When does positivity help — and when does it hinder?
This conversation forces a serious question: are we preparing children for real spiritual growth, or protecting them from it?
This season of Behind the Bima is sponsored by Julie Charlestein & Darryl Benjamin in honor of their grandparents, Morton & Malvina Charlestein, and their children, Ruby and Maccabi Benjamin.
