How do you even begin to define love? How are we supposed to balance love of family with “love thy neighbor?” And how to balance the needs of our Jewish family with the biggest family of all: humanity? These are the kinds of questions that were explored in a conversation between Rabbi Shai Held, Mijal Bitton, and Noam Weissman on their podcast, Wondering Jews.

For many of us, confronting death raises urgent questions of faith, doubt, and the meaning and purpose of our lives. Yet we live in a culture that avoids talking about death, let alone the existential challenges it raises. Physician and ethicist Lydia Dugdale, author of The Lost Art of Dying, joins Rabbi Shai Held to draw on ancient and contemporary wisdom about mortality and meaning. Recorded in Fall 2025.
