Rabbi Jason Fruithandler and Barbara Murphy have a conversation about the mode of Hannah's prayer as the foundation for all Jewish prayer, and wonder about what Hannah prayed for, and what we pray for and why.

Episode Four: Hannah's Prayer - 1 Samuel 2:1-10

Rabbi Fruithandler and Barbara Murphy talk about the challenges today that are not so very different from the time when the people, anxious about Moses's delayed return, looked for another god and found only suffering. We talk about how we remain faithful in times of great decision. Join us!

Episode Five: The Golden Calf - Exodus 32

Rabbi Jason Fruithandler and Barbara Murphy struggle with the events that lead to the Maccabean Revolt and the rededication of the Temple, what we know today as Chanukah. Please join us for a conversation that compels us to ask questions we never thought we would have to ask.

Episode Seven: Road to Chanukah - 1 Maccabees 1-2

Elijah runs away in fear after dispatching all the prophets of Baal, or better, prophets of Queen Jezebel. She vows by whatever god will listen to kill Elijah for what he has done (see 1 Kings 18). Rabbi Fruithandler and Barbara Murphy wrestle with his journey and what it means for our own lives. Please join us in our conversation and we hope it will spark discussions of your own.

Episode Eight: A Still Silent Sound - 1 Kings 19
