Why Naftuli Moster Left Haredi Education Activism | Teshuva

Video Description

This series is sponsored by Mira and Daniel Stokar. In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we speak with Naftuli Moster, a former activist for major changes in Hasidic education, about how and why he changed his understanding of the values imparted by Judaism. In this episode we discuss: —Why did Naftuli stop campaigning for fundamental reform in Hasidic education? —Why are Jews often drawn to movements that can be counterproductive to their interests? —How did October 7 make Naftuli rethink his relationship with the Jewish world? Tune in to hear a conversation about finding healthy communities in times when we feel lost. Naftuli Moster is the founder and CEO of Shtetl, a non-profit media outlet serving as a free press for the Haredi community. He formerly worked with YAFFED, an organization that pushes for reform in Haredi and Hasidic education.
