About this podcast
History is the lens. The present is the question. The future is what's at stake.
Remember What's Next brings you the conversations our people need right now. Each week, Rabbi Ken Spiro — author, researcher, and lecturer — joins Jewish educator and coach Ellie Bass to take a current issue and trace it back through Jewish history, uncovering the patterns, the precedents, and the deeper meaning hiding in plain sight.
Because we've been here before. And remembering how we got here is how we figure out what comes next. Support the work: https://ko-fi.com/rememberwhatsnext
