In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast , we talk to Yakov Danishefsky—a licensed clinical social worker and the author of The Attached Haggadah —about the imperfect ways in which we transmit the Jewish story. In this episode we discuss: How do we deal with the lived reality that the Passover Seder isn’t a perfect transmission of our foundational beliefs? Why do some people try to leave Yiddishkeit while others stay in the community? What is the deeper significance of chametz and matza? Tune in for a conversation about the role of broken expectations in the story of our redemption. Interview begins at 12:29. Rabbi Yakov Danishefsky is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist. He is the founder of Mind Body Therapy, a private group practice in Chicago. Yakov has semicha and a Master’s in Jewish Philosophy from Yeshiva University and is a popular speaker, teacher, and author on the intersection of spirituality, philosophy, and psychology.
