This symposium explores the concept of Torah u-Madda: the belief that Torah and secular studies can complement and enrich each other.

In this episode, Allison Kaplan Sommer, Don Futterman, and Noah Efron discuss three main topics.

Allison Kaplan Sommer, Don Futterman, and Noah Efron delve into significant topics such as protests over rising prices in Israel, questioning the judgement of ultra-Orthodox soldiers compared to others, and debating the cancellation of humanities matriculation exams starting next year in Israel.

In a Jewish-themed podcast episode titled "The It's All About the Benjamins Edition," hosts discuss Benny Gantz potentially breaking his promise not to serve with Benjamin Netanyahu, the role of humanities in a Jewish state, and the trend of rabbis sending people for DNA tests to verify Jewish ancestry.

In this edition, Allison, Don, and Noah discuss topics including Israeli opposition leader Isaac Herzog's proposal for a fence to separate from Palestinians, a secret lawsuit by the army against NGO Breaking the Silence for soldiers' testimonies, and a report showing a decline in humanities and a rise in Bible studies among high-schoolers.
