In this episode, we sit down with Ezra Bookman, the Program Associate at Lab/Shul, an experimental, artist-driven, god-optional Jewish community in New York. Ezra has a background in theater, having been a writer, director, and performance artist.

Ezra discusses the role of the spiritual community in modern life, the challenges of building such a community, and the methods and process by which he works.

Note: this episode was recorded with one microphone, creating a distinctive conversational style in which Ezra and Daniel speak back-and-forth without interruption.
