About this episode
Noam discusses the intersection of Judaism and theatre with guests Jennifer Tepper and Etai Benson.

The answers to these questions could have implications for the future of the Jews and their place in the world. Noam sits down with Jennifer Tepper, a theatre historian, and Etai Benson, a Broadway actor, to discuss the art of crafting stories, and the innovative ways in which Judaism has intersected with the stage.
