“Rabbis have too much power” with Tuli Skaist
About this episode
Tuli Skaist discusses his experiences growing up ultra-Orthodox and the complexities of Jewish identity and power dynamics within the community.
Tuli Skaist is a Jewish music legend, community builder, teacher, executive director of his shul, and one of the wisest Jews we know. He grew up ultra-Orthodox, went to elite yeshivas, rebelled his way out, and somehow became the guy we all go to for Torah, nigunim, and parenting advice. Deep Yenta-heads will also recognize him as Antonia's musical study partner!
