Episode 32: Hakham Mordehai Ish Yemini "Why Even Be Maimonidean?"

The Hakham returns and delivers yet another explosive interview. This time he makes a strong case for the practical reasons Jews should return to the classical Sepharadi tradition and explains why the alternative path has led many well-meaning people astray. The popularization of segulot, charlatanism, and the occult over the last few hundred years has left a deep impression on Jewish culture. Although many great rabbis and scholars are keenly aware of the dubious origins of all Kabbalistic literature, over the course of history it has become widely accepted as authoritative (but usually not in the realm of halakha). Hakham Mordehai pushes back against the argument from authority and establishes a clear path towards a society of critical thinkers over magical thinkers.      --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/judaismdemystified/support
