About this episode
This week on Unorthodox, we’re smuggling fruit roll-ups into Israel. First, we chat with Rabbi Ari Lamm about the surprising spirituality of this year’s NBA Playoffs. Journalist Gabby Deutch joins us to talk about her 5-part investigative series about the 1984 murder of Rabbi Philip Rabinowitz of Kesher Israel Congregation in Washington, DC, a crime which remains unsolved nearly 40 years later. We’re also bringing you the second installment of The Archive , our series exploring the collection of the National Library of Israel . Liel takes a look at Maimonides’ 12th-century manuscripts and learns about the Jewish thinker’s nomadic adventures. We love to hear from you!
