Listen "Sacred Realms - At Journey's End"
Episode Synopsis
In this eighth episode of Sacred Realms, “At Journey’s End,” Rabbis Andrew and Lindsey talk about the classic motif of the journey, and how the Torah’s narratives and some sci-fi and fantasy subvert our expectations at the end of the “Hero’s Journey.” We begin with this month’s She’lah / The Question of the Month: “What has been an important journey in your life?” Then on to what we have been watching or reading lately, including Ahsoka (Disney+), Invasion (AppleTV), Foundation (AppleTV) and Dimension 20 (Drop Out), a role-playing series with some unconventional settings and stories. Then, we have some Jewish sci-fi and fantasy news, in particular about the upcoming portrayal of Sabra, an Israeli superhero, in the MCU. Then we delve into this episode’s main topic: “At Journey’s End.” Lastly, we pull out some material From the Genzia, talking about Terminator, The Matrix and Alien.
