When people ask Rabbi Block a question they frequently preface the question by telling him not to answer with a question! And he can’t agree more. When People ask a question they are looking for an answer and not to be asked a question. “The Rabbi and I” podcasts are exactly that, answers to questions that Joe and Rabbi Block have been asked. The podcasts begin with Joe asking for Rabbi Block’s opinion, thoughts, views, etc. on questions that have caught his attention. He is looking for moral, spiritual, and religious guidance. And that is what Rabbi Block provides, understandable and common sense answers from nor only the Jewish tradition, but from the wisdom of other traditions as well. Rabbi Ken Block, aka “Rabbi On the Go” offers wit and wisdom on a variety of topics to Joe, the “not a Jew.” Rabbi Block is “Rabbi Emeritus” for a Reform, interfaith congregation in Chantilly, Virginia. Rabbi Block relies on his experience as a behavioral therapist and teacher to give spontaneous wisdom on any topic. Joe, like the Rabbi, was taught by Jesuits and together they explore the commonalities and contrasts in modern religion, events and experiences. Feel free to make requests or volunteer to be a guest with the topic of your choice.Copyright 2026 Kenneth Block Judentum Spiritualität

  • Honesty, Why is it so Hard

    Honesty, Why is it so Hard
    Oct 12 2026

    In a past episode we taught when the Talmud says that you are required to lie. Why do we have so much trouble being honest the rest of the time!

  • The Voluntary Expulsion of The Citizens of Gaza

    The Voluntary Expulsion of The Citizens of Gaza
    Sep 7 2026

    An Israeli cabinet minister put out a government plan this week to move most of Gaza's population somewhere else. He's calling it voluntary.

    Palestinian officials, Arab governments, and international law scholars say a choice made under blockade, with 80%+ of buildings destroyed and no way home, isn't really voluntary.

    The core dispute is whether ‘voluntary’ holds up under the actual conditions in Gaza — and Jewish tradition doesn't settle that for you either way.

  • The Word Zionism is Failing to do Its One Job

    The Word Zionism is Failing to do Its One Job
    Aug 23 2026

    I open with a claim: the word 'Zionism' has stopped doing the one job it was created to do. And I'm going to make that case using the Torah and the Talmud, not a communications consultant.

    Matthew Berger, a communications consultant, was hired by the Jewish Federations of North America to figure out what language actually works when Jewish groups talk about Israel and antisemitism. He got fired two weeks ago for saying avoid using the word 'Zionism.' His reasoning was that the word confuses more people than it persuades.
