Show Notes
Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Yevamot 4 and 5, kick things off with some deep questions, like what's the nature of knowledge and can religion be trusted to deliver anything approaching concrete truth. Jeffrey Bloom, the editor of the new book Strauss, Spinoza, and Sinai: Orthodox Judaism and Modern Questions of Faith, joins us to discuss what one of the 20th Century's best-known thinkers had to say about this question, and why it still matters to us today. What was Leo Strauss's take on the debate between faith and doubt? Listen and find out.
