Description

Rabbi Shmuli Phillips has spent almost two decades in yeshiva and kollel, and has managed to pick up a law degree during that time from the University of London. He's best known for his groundbreaking book, Judaism Reclaimed, which has been a massive success. Judaism Reclaims "takes back" Judaism from Academic Critics, and also reintroduces the Maimodean viewpoint, one that favors Rationality over Mysticism, to a Jewish world that has larger lost touch with it. With ascamas (approbations) from the likes of Rabbi Zev Leff and Rabbi Jonathan Sacks ZTz"L, Shmuli Phillips debut work has been called "Scholarly, yet highly relatable." 


Rabbi Shmuel came onto Open Book to have a conversation about the distinctions between Heretics and Skeptics today.
