Thursday Night Call-In Show ☎️ July 2, 2026

What's the difference between Kabbalah and Chassidus? Is Francis Fukuyama's "End of History" compatible with Judaism? Plus, practical guidance for breaking free from an enmeshed family, Yossi Farro joins us live with stories of his latest exploits, an honest conversation about why one-on-one consultations drain me emotionally, and a response to a viewer who challenged my views on masculinity and male friendship.
