This week on the Radical Moderation podcast, Rabbi Segal speaks with Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin, Director of Education at NCSY. In the first part of their conversation, Rabbi Bashevkin discusses his “quacky” childhood, and how he came to have roots in diverse corners of the secular and religious worlds. Rabbi Segal and Rabbi Bashevkin also explore the importance of authenticity in religious life, their feelings on the roles of other religions, and the surprising inspiration found in “Jesus Camp.”

The book Rabbi Bashevkin recommends in this episode is “The Most Human Human,” by Brian Christian.
