Hi all,
As the title suggests, I’d like to know what topics people are interested in learning more about from a Jewish point of view.
I’m asking because I host a podcast called “Dilemmas On Screen: A Jewish Perspective” and I’m looking for questions Jews are genuinely interested in having answered.
The podcast presents ambiguous moral situations that come up in movies and TV shows and analyzes the Torah’s take on it. For example, should Harry Potter be grateful to the Dursleys? Is it ever justified to steal from the rich to give to the poor? Red pill or blue pill? We’ve taken movies from Lord of the Rings to Good Will Hunting to Top Gun: Maverick, or TV shows like Cobra Kai, and we explore the pivotal decisions that define the characters through a Jewish lens.
To clarify, the topics cover: free will, gratitude, is ignorance bliss, is there ever a point of no return for evil, do we have an obligation to use our genius/talents/skills? I personally find these fascinating, but I’m curious what topics interest you.
Please let me know!
Bonus: if you can think of a great movie that would launch such a discussion, please go ahead and name it.
