The Ancient Story That Explains What We Are All Looking For | Rabbi Ron Li-Paz

A few days ago, Rabbi Ron and his son walked out of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey after three hours that flew by.
What followed was a conversation Rabbi Ron hasn't been able to stop thinking about.
In this episode, he explores how The Odyssey and the Torah tell two very different stories about the human journey - and what they reveal about repentance, temptation, homecoming, and what it truly means to be known.
In this episode:
0:00 - Christopher Nolan made The Odyssey Jewish
