In this powerful street-side conversation series, Rabbi Shoff engages with people from all walks of life—soldiers, seekers, skeptics, spiritual strugglers, and even a Catholic seminarian—offering warmth, wisdom, and deep emotional insight.

Through raw, unfiltered questions about faith, pain, Jewish identity, trauma, teshuva, and the search for meaning, he meets each person with empathy and clarity.

Whether discussing a father drawn to Messianic Judaism, navigating religious hurt, wrestling with grief, or exploring the purpose of mitzvot and the afterlife, Rabbi Shoff gently reframes complex struggles into pathways toward healing, connection, and inner strength.

This episode captures the heart of what makes these encounters so compelling: honest questions, compassionate guidance, and the timeless Jewish belief that every soul is capable of growth, love, and return.

Are we pushing people into marriage too early—or waiting too long? In this thought-provoking episode, Rabbi Shoff dives deep into the world of shidduchim and dating, tackling tough questions about readiness, maturity, and the balance between spiritual ideals and emotional development. Drawing from Torah sources, real-life stories, and community dynamics, he explores when marriage truly makes sense, what it means to build a meaningful Jewish home, and why respect, self-awareness, and patience matter more than the length of your dating process.

In this episode of Fire Away, Rabbi Shoff delves into one of the hardest questions in Jewish thought: If God is good, why is there so much suffering, including tragedies like the Holocaust? He explores the difference between intellectual and emotional pain, the limits of human understanding, and the Torah’s view on why hardship can lead to growth.
