[Music] hello and welcome to the 1840 podcast where each month we explore a different topic balancing modern sensibilities with traditional sensitivities to give you new approaches to timeless jewish ideas i'm your host david beshefkin and this month we are having a special summer series where we explore jewish ideas jewish portrayals religious a lot of our topics can sometimes be a little bit on the heavy side and just imagining somebody sitting uh beachside or going bike riding listening to i don't know some professor or philosopher talk about jewish studies or some family negotiating their religious differences it just was a little hard for me to imagine so i wanted to do something special particularly for the summertime and i don't know about you or what you do over the summer time but there's no question that for me the summer is all about sitting outside with books articles getting to read sitting at night getting to watch something that's interesting that's exciting that's uplifting and i decided that what i thought we could do over the next few weeks is explore depictions of religious ideas jewish ideas in different mediums going through non-fiction fiction and documentary filmmaking and explore a little bit about how religious change religious ideas religious growth particularly within the jewish community are depicted within these different mediums and i am so excited about the discussion today particularly about non-fiction writing because i think for myself what i enjoy reading most is non-fiction as i've mentioned i think a few times i've probably read less than a handful
