Don’t believe in God? Try it anyway

During the High Holidays, Yehuda Kurtzer and Rabbi Noa Kushner explore faith in a skeptical age, tackling holiness, awe and spirituality beyond today's consumer mindset.

What might happen if, instead of demanding certainty, we allowed ourselves to “pretend” belief and see where the journey leads?

Ahead of the High Holidays, Yehuda Kurtzer welcomes Rabbi Noa Kushner, founder of The Kitchen, a synagogue and institute in San Francisco, and the author of Pretend That You Believe: How To Enter Religion, to explore what faith means in a skeptical age. Through a conversation about holiness, awe, humility, and religious imagination, they challenge the consumer mindset that often influences contemporary spirituality.
