In this episode Benji and Avi sit down (and then stand up when he walks in, and then sit down again after he sits down) with Rabbi Seth Farber! We find out how he is the descendent of smugglers and grand rabbis, why his face is on the dartboards of so many religious parties, and how ITIM - the NGO he founded - helps well-meaning Israelis navigate the labyrinths of the Chief Rabbinate, especially when it comes to important lifecycle events. We dive deep into (clean?) mikvah waters, and find out how he and his team at ITIM have touched the lives of tens of thousands of Israelis and made life here a little easier, and a little more Jewish. A warning to our listeners - this episode touches on some sensitive topics, especially relating to certain issues around burial, so please keep that in mind.
