Welcome to this week’s Times Will Tell, the weekly podcast from the Times of Israel.
This week, host Jessica Steinberg speaks with Dr. Stephen Daniel Arnoff, newly minted author of “About Man and God and Law: The Spiritual Wisdom of Bob Dylan” (Morgan James).
Arnoff is a passionate music lover and musician, a side gig to his professional role as CEO of the Fuchsberg Jerusalem Center.
With a doctorate in midrash and scriptural interpretation from the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, Arnoff specializes in the connections between religion and popular culture, brought to bear in his new book.
In the podcast, Arnoff discusses his own love for Bob Dylan and his personal rock ‘n roll history and how that has morphed into a lifelong exploration of Dylan’s music and lyrics.
He looks at Judaism and Christianity through the prism of Dylan’s music and the questions asked by Bob Dylan in a lifetime of songs.
Times Will Tell podcasts are available for download on iTunes, TuneIn, Pocket Casts, Stitcher, PlayerFM or wherever you get your podcasts.

We can't do this work alone.
The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident – ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded – I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.
There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.
As a Times of Israel reporter, I’m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit’s. But my colleagues and I can't do this alone. If you value work like this, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to keep real human reporting like this going.
