Holy....! Each week we’ll discuss an episode of ”The Good Place” along with a Jewish text or idea or two that relates to the theme of the episode. Hosted by Jon Spira-Savett, rabbi and lover of great TV comedy and ethical philosophy, along with different co-hosts who teach Judaism and Torah and are smart and funny. We may not be as funny as ”The Good Place” itself, but we channel our own inner Chidis and Janets, as well as our Eleanors and Michaels and Tahanis and Jasons.

It’s halfway through The Good Place and therefore this podcast too! We mark the occasion with a reflective conversation among Rebecca Rosenthal, Dan Ross, Lela Spira-Savett, and Jon Spira-Savett. Settle your Season 2 bets about which characters the podcast’s co-hosts resemble today and wish they would be more like. Then we muse personally about the premises of the podcast – Jon’s envy of the TV show's creators, how learning actually shapes our ethical growth, and the ingenious ways The Good Place spins what we call teshuvah. We check in on Maimonides’ definition and give it a bit of critique in the process! Click here for the episode page.
