Abstract

Chanukah has come and gone but we are still in the midst of the "holiday season"! This week Rivky and Uri speak with special guest Rabbi Dr. Stu Halpern about an article he wrote in Tablet Magazine last week. The article is titled "Why I Won't Let My Kids Watch That Very Special Christmas Episode". We talk to Stu about what motivated him to write the article, some of the feedback he's gotten about it, the tension between particularism and universalism, and more!
