Imagine if a Rabbi and a Reverend walked into a podcast... Well, this is your imagination come to life! Rabbi Eric Linder of Athens, GA and Rev. Joel Tolbert of Chestertown, MD are buddies, clergy colleagues, deep thinkers, open-minded theologians, and compatriots in helping this world look more and more like God's kingdom. We will discuss all things religious, and a few things sacrilegious. How can we bend all religion back toward wholeness, holiness, justice, peace, and love? We hope these conversations invite you to hold all religions accountable to our professed beliefs, instill in you a passion for the healthiest disciplines of religion that bring love and justice to life for another, and encourage you to practice religion in a way that is relevant and real to the God we are trying to worship.

Rabbi Eric Linder returns to discuss things musical, technical, and rabbinical. But not in that order.
Today's daf is sponsored by Rabbi David Young in honor of his chevruta called "Day Yomi, Baby!” - Rabbi Rachel Greengrass, Rabbi Stephen Wise, Rabbi Eric Linder, Rabbi Andy Rosenkranz and Rabbi Sari Laufer. Can one hire workers on Shabbat for work on Shabbat or after Shabbat? Can one tell someone else to hire workers for them? Is that referring to telling a Jew or a non-Jew? Can one go to the edge of techum Shabbat and wait there until Shabbat ends to do something immediately after Shabbat? It depends on whether or not what you are planning to do is something forbidden on Shabbat. Can one do calculations on Shabbat - under what circumstances? Can one gather to discuss public issues? If one did not make havdala at the end of Shabbat, can one perform melacha?
