Xai, how are you?

Xai, how are you? offers a unique and engaging exploration of the Talmud through the lens of queer Jewish identity. Hosts Michael Sokolovsky and Rabbi Xava De Cordova delve into multi-millennial rabbinic dialectics, dissecting ancient texts, laws, and interpretations with both scholarly rigor and a playful, often humorous, approach. The podcast goes beyond traditional religious study, seeking prophetic insight and uncovering the inherent "smuttiness" within the system, making complex topics accessible and relevant. It appeals to listeners interested in Jewish thought, religious education, queer theology, and the dynamic interplay between historical texts and contemporary social and cultural issues. This show stands out for its inclusive perspective and its ability to blend deep textual analysis with modern relevance and a distinctive, engaging tone.
