Andor and the Art of Resistance
Manage episode 487048152 series 1105666
Set during the ascendancy of the evil galactic empire, Andor, whose full second and final season is now out on Disney+, strips away the mythic and reveals the human cost of rebellion. In this episode of PopTorah, Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky explore the critically acclaimed Star Wars series that trades spectacle for soul-searching — and asks what it really takes to stand up to tyranny. Through the lens of Jewish history and wisdom, we dive into themes of resistance, moral compromise, and the quiet courage of ordinary people who choose to fight for something better. Join us as we unpack how tyranny overtakes freedom, and wrestle with the cost — and the calling — of liberation.
Rabbis Michael Knopf and Jesse Olitzky are lifelong friends, pop culture fanboys, and lovers of all things Jewish. Join them every other week for a conversation about what’s going on in pop culture from a Jewish perspective and about Judaism through the lens of pop culture.
