Description

Welcome to ”The Rabbi & the Other Guy,” where Shalom Austin CEO Rabbi Daniel A. Septimus and Dr. Matt Schocket dive headfirst into the vast ocean of Jewish curiosity. Join us as we tackle every question under the sun about being Jewish, from the profound to the playful. From exploring religious and cultural nuances to confronting intense conversations, and even delving into the classic age-old question - what really IS the best type of challah?
