The Rabbis are (Still) Cray-Cray for Tay-Tay

Taylor Swift’s long-awaited “Eras” tour was not only the pop cultural event of 2023, it was one of the most successful concert tours in music history. Each night Taylor took fans on an epic three hour tour of her career. And she has followed up on that success by releasing a film version of her live show, which is currently playing to more sold-out crowds in theaters everywhere. We don’t know about you, but Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky are feeling 22 as they talk about why this show was so important to them as Swifties and as spiritual and communal leaders, and explore the Torah we can learn from Taylor Swift’s music as well as from the artist herself. Join us, whatever your “era”!

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.
