Asking For A Friend is a podcast where real life dilemmas meet clear, thoughtful Torah perspective.
Hosted by Mena Reisner, each episode features conversations with Rabbi Zimmerman, Dayan Hool, or Dayan Posen, Rabbonim with decades of experience in mediation, dinei Torah, shidduchim, family dynamics, business disputes, and the complex situations people face every day.
It’s not personal psak and it’s not a shiur.
Just honest, grounded discussion on the issues people grapple with behind closed doors, and how timeless Torah principles guide us through them.
New episodes every two weeks.
