Initially, they briefly discuss Rabbi Moskowitz' personal journey to becoming the Scholar in Residence at the Beit Simchat Torah Congregation, before diving into the attitudes held by so many in conservative, orthodox communities. From discussing specific verses often used to justify transphobia, to an analysis of conversion therapy, to predictions about same sex marriage, Rabbi Moskowitz covers a wide range of questions that many onlookers have wondered about over the years.

Rabbi Moskowitz also touches on the recent negative media attention that his community has been receiving, and demonstrates that despite several significant imperfections, the ultra orthodox community is full of beauty, charity, and love.

He has been actively involved in the World Zionist Organisation and he’s actually one of our own because he used to be a the Vice President of the European Union of Jewish Students.

Andrei talks to us about his childhood in Romania where he grew up unable to practice or acknowledge Judaism due to the impacts of Soviet Communism. He discusses the legacy of the Shoah and Communism on the Jews who remain, and makes pointed remarks about  the leadership of Romania's community today, many of whom are the children of the securitate (Romanian Stasi).

We go back to Andrei's roots and discuss issues facing Jewish students on campus, specifically BDS, the nature of which Andrei goes into great detail about. 

This episode is filled with lessons about Jewish  pride, survival, gratitude and the value of moving on.
