    In Episode 5 of Show and Teller Season 3, Rabbi Mordechai Teller speaks with Rom El-Hai, a survivor of the Nova music festival attack.

  • TORAH TIME | EP2 | Cain & Abel
    Nov 21 2025

    Greg marches straight out of Eden and into humanity’s first family meltdown. In this chapter of Show & Teller: Torah Time, he reads the story of Cain and Abel, digs into jealousy, ego, bad offerings, divine side-eye, and the world’s earliest case of sibling rivalry turning… well, biblical.

    It’s a short chapter with an outsized shadow, raising questions about justice, responsibility, and what it actually means to be “your brother’s keeper.” Greg reads, reacts, and tries not to lose faith in people five minutes after they’re invented.

    Nov 20 2025

    In Episode 4 of Show & Teller Season 3, Rabbi Mordechai Teller speaks with Rabbi Elan Javanfard, a leading voice in Jewish mental health and crisis intervention. Elan works on the front lines with individuals facing severe depression, self-harm, and emotional emergencies, and he brings a rare combination of clinical insight and deep compassion.

    This conversation addresses the stigma around mental health in the Jewish community, why so many struggle in silence, and how we can build a culture where asking for help is seen as strength, not shame.

  • TORAH TIME | EP 1 | In The Beginning
    Nov 7 2025

    Welcome to Show & Teller: Torah Time

    A new mini-series under the Show & Teller umbrella where Greg Berman reads through the Torah, 15–20 minutes at a time, offering honest reflections, questions, and modern commentary along the way.

    In this first episode, Greg introduces the series and begins Bereshit (Genesis) from “In the beginning” through the story of Creation, Adam and Eve, and that famous moment when “they were naked and ashamed.” This isn’t a sermon. It’s part spiritual study, part existential comedy, and part storytelling experiment. Greg focuses on exploring what these ancient words mean in a world that keeps reinventing itself.

    ✨ Topics in this episode:

    The poetry and structure of Creation

    The human impulse toward knowledge and shame

    Why Genesis might be the most misunderstood story ever told
