Why did the Exodus begin at midnight, not dawn? Drawing on Talmud, Maharal, Chassidut, Rav Kook, and the Izhbitzer, Rabbi Dunner explores how Judaism understands transformation: that the deepest changes occur in darkness, before clarity, certainty, or visible redemption — and what this teaches us about faith, growth, and living through uncertain times today.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 17 minutes 53 secondsSynopsis: Last week (1/14/26), I published an article on my Substack titled Rav Kook: First Impressions of a New Chapter in My Learning. This was a surprisingly challenging article to write, but I'm proud of how it turned out, and I've received great feedback on it so far. However, I chose to keep most of it behind a paywall, for reasons I explain in the free introduction to the article. Fast forward to this week. Even though I'm a die-hard ChatGPT guy, I recently learned that I have access to the paid version of Google's Gemini and other AI tools (thanks, NEJA). I've been playing around with different features and have been particularly intrigued by NotebookLM, which, among other uses, allows users to upload documents and generate an AI-created podcast based on them.I decided to generate a podcast version of my paywalled article on Rav Kook. It was HILARIOUS! If I had to guess, I'd say it was about 70% faithful to the actual article. It altered much of my careful phrasing, changed the order of presentation, introduced its own analogies, and editorialized without making a clear distinction between my own views and its views. It even introduced at least one possibly antizionist sentiment, which I did NOT express! And even though the tone of my article was enthusiastic, the AI went overboard on the dramatization. And let's not talk about the consistently inconsistent mangling of pronunciations and creepy "third party laughter."Anyway, against my better judgment, I'm going to share this here. (Felt cute; might delete later.) Despite its inaccuracies, it DOES convey the general tenor of the article, and I'm hoping this will make people curious enough to check out the real thing. Plus, I want to hear what people think. If you haven't yet listened to an AI-generated podcast, you're in for a laugh.Will I regret sharing this? Probably. But at least it'll be ENTERTAINING! :DThe Torah content for the month of January is sponsored by Naomi Schwartz in memory of her father, Dovid Yitzchok ben Chaim Yeruchum Fishel z”l, who dedicated his life to learning and teaching Torah to countless students b'simcha.

Rav Segal nos ensina uma mensagem atual sobre a parashá com o Rav Kook.
In this episode, we sit down with Rabbi Zach Millunchick to discuss tradition, authority, and the Rambam's vision for halakhic and intellectual life today. Rabbi Millunchick reflects on being a student of Rabbi Nahum Rabinovitch a'h, who was also a formative teacher of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks a'h, and explains how Rav Rabinovitch's approach continues to shape his worldview. From there, the conversation turns to his book Kakhol HaYam, which emerges from a deep commitment to the Rambam alongside a willingness to rethink assumptions about tradition, authority, and leadership. We explore his central claim that laws derived through the thirteen hermeneutical principles are fundamentally rabbinic, even when they appear indistinguishable from biblical law in the Talmud, and what this means for understanding halakhic authority. Rabbi Millunchick also explains the Rambam's sharp distinction between clarifying the Torah's meaning and creating new law through human reasoning, and why collapsing that distinction carries serious intellectual and religious consequences. The discussion then moves to the second half of Kakhol HaYam, where Rabbi Millunchick argues that the Rambam's theory of halakhic authority cannot be separated from his political philosophy, including his views on courts, governance, and human perfection. We consider whether this model of tradition—neither rigid nor relativistic—is viable in the absence of a Sanhedrin, or whether it reveals unresolved tensions in modern Jewish life. The episode concludes with a conversation about Jewish education in Israel, particularly within the Dati Leumi world. Rabbi Millunchick addresses the common blending of Rav Kook and the Rambam, explains what he believes needs to change in the yeshiva curriculum, and shares his vision for a new mekhina he is developing with Rabbi Yohai Makbili and what he hopes students will take with them. Special thanks to Rabbi Jonathan Livi for connecting us and making this conversation possible.---*This episode is dedicated to the refua shelema of Sarah Miriam bat Tamar, Binyamin ben Zilpa, and our dear friend Yaakov ben Haya Sarah Malakh, and b'ilui nishmat Zehara Yehudit bat Yaakov Ezra v'Ilana Shira.---• Bio: Rabbi Zach Millunchick is a student of Rabbi Nahum Rabinovitch, of blessed memory, and is currently working on the continuation of his monumental commentary on the Mishne Torah, the Yad Peshuta. He authored the book כחול הים - על העברת המסורת והנהגת העם במשנת הרמב״ם, which focuses on the Rambam's political theory, from both halakhic and philosophical perspectives.---• Welcome to JUDAISM DEMYSTIFIED: A PODCAST FOR THE PERPLEXED | Co-hosted by Benjy & Benzi | Thank you to...Super Patron: Jordan Karmily, Platinum Patron: Craig Gordon, Rod Ilian, Gold Patrons: Dovidchai Abramchayev, Lazer Cohen, Travis Krueger, Vasili Volkoff, Vasya, Silver Patrons: Ellen Fleischer, Daniel M., Rabbi Pinny Rosenthal, Fred & Antonio, Jeffrey Wasserman, and Jacob Winston!

Can Israel truly go it alone? Drawing on Chaim Weizmann's pragmatism, Ben-Gurion's faith in miracles, and Rav Kook's timeless insight, Rabbi Dunner explores the balance between alliances and divine providence. As Vayeilech and the High Holy Days remind us, the Jewish people's survival rests not on geopolitics but on our unbreakable covenant with God.

Nearly two years after October 7 and more than 700 days of war, many Jews enter this High Holiday season with trepidation, facing what feels like an increasingly hostile world. In this episode of TEXTing IRL, Elana Stein Hain and OLAM CEO Dyonna Ginsburg turn to Rav Kook's “Fourfold Song” to explore how Jews can navigate competing commitments of caring for their own communities and for the wider world. We are grateful to Micah Philanthropies and to the Walder Charitable Fund for their generous support of TEXTing. Episode Source Sheet Watch the video version of this episode here.

Why does the Torah command us to send away a mother bird before taking her eggs or chicks? From the Mishnah and Rambam to Ramban, Maharal, the Hasidic masters, Rav Dessler, and Rav Kook, Rabbi Dunner shows how this mitzvah is far more than a law about bird nests — it's a journey into compassion, exile and redemption, spiritual growth, and God's infinite mercy.
