In episode 82 we speak with and learn a lot from Rabbi Ari Saks. Rabbi Saks talks to us about the cultural myths that couples face in their interfaith relationships. Particularly that interfaith relationships will inevitably lead to divorce and separation. We ask the question if interfaith relationships mean it’s MORE likely or LESS likely for a couple to divorce? Rabbi Saks challenges that idea by teaching that differences can actually lead to a deeper relationship rather than division.
Currently, Rabbi Saks is focusing his efforts on reaching out to interfaith families, primarily through his recently launched podcast “Interfaithing: Why families can embrace two faiths under one roof.” The podcast can be found on all podcast platforms. Rabbi Saks is also developing unique, online Adult Education curricula including “Torah Teachings for Jewish Grandparents of Interfaith Families” and “How Israel Should be Taught on College Campuses.” Finally, Rabbi Saks serves Torat Yisrael, a Conservative congregation in Rhode Island, on a part-time basis and serves pastoral needs for unaffiliated families in the Philadelphia area.

This week Noam and Leeron tackle a interesting topic: Open marriages. We sit down with "Cindy" who talks to us about her open marriage to "Jim" (We love 90210!). We protect Cindy's identity not because there is anything to be ashamed of with an open marriage. But because we're all entitled to some privacy in life, and there are those who also judgmental of open relationships. Nonetheless, we have a fascinating conversation about: dating, cucking, unicorns, ethical-non-monogamy, and polyamory. Most importantly we discuss how an open marriage can have amazing benefits for you and your spouse- including an improved sex life!

And as we discuss, at times that weight can motivate us to try harder in the future. But if guilt is paralyzing you, its worth doing something about it. Listen to find out!
