 Come on in, grab a seat at our “digital bar” and join two old friends for relatively well-informed and irreverent musings on religion, news, and society. In each episode, Rabbi Asher Lopatin and John Geiringer, an attorney, will ask provocative questions that congregants maybe only wish they could ask their Rabbi. This is not your typical religion podcast… Imagine sharing a drink with your Rabbi. What would you ask? I bet you too have a few questions you wish you could ask. That’s exactly what A Rabbi and a Lawyer Walk Into a Bar Podcast is about. An honest conversation by two news junkies who keep an open mind, challenge the status quo, and love discussing the comedy, tragedy, absurdity, and reality of the Jewish experience.

    We haven’t spoken since John’s dog ate the afikoman, and we discuss his Omer success and Asher’s Omer challenges. In the meantime, Asher continues his amazing world travels, this time to Kurdistan on an interfaith mission with his Chaldean friends. We discuss that region’s deep connection to Jewish history, including minor prophets like Nachum (John had to Google him). We then discuss Trump’s anti-antisemitism efforts, and our gratitude that adults are finally in the room on college campuses. Asher ends by describing the Wild West way in which new Jewish holidays are established.

    Did Asher visit Africa to avoid Pesach cleaning? We discuss his recent trip to Ghana (after Syria), and John suspects that Asher is a CIA officer. Asher describes the slave trade artifacts he witnessed, and contrasts them to slavery in the ancient Jewish tradition. He then answers Passover FAQs and reminds us to remember the goal of our seders. We grapple with having gratitude for freedom while our people remain in tunnels. Of course, no Jewish podcast is complete without referencing a problematic case of someone shouting “Heil Hitler.”

    And now for something completely different. We discuss Asher’s unbelievable adventures in Syria and Qatar, including his new (former) Al-Qaeda buddies and his guardedly optimistic outlook for the region as a result. John then discusses the importance of teaching about legal issues surrounding the Holocaust and why the right is on the rise in Germany. With Adar and Purim approaching and considering Asher’s trip, we’re reminded of v’nahafoch hu, how events can spin around in surprising ways.
