When kids ask big questions, how do you respond? Whether you are parent, educator, or just a curious person, you've probably asked yourself the same questions.

Every week, Rabbi Shai Held invites an expert guest to explore a big question: Who is God? Why did God create the world? Why do bad things happen?

This podcast doesn’t have all the answers, but it can give you the language and frameworks to engage meaningfully with these questions.

Listen to the first episode below, and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts to hear the entire inaugural season.
