In this fourth episode of Sacred Realms, Rabbis Andrew and Lindsey talk about What if? Speculative Fiction and Futurism.We begin with what is now called She’lah / The Question of the Week: “What favorite realm of yours would you like to see one thousand years in the future?”Then on to what we have been watching or reading lately, with Rabbi Andrew talking about the shows The Mandalorian: Season 3 and The Hunters, and Rabbi Lindsey talking about graphic novel series Monstress.Then we delve into this episode’s main topic, inspired by Israel’s 75th Independence Day: Is Theodor Herzl’s utopian novel Altneuland a work of Futurism, Speculative Fiction or something else all together?Lastly, we pull out some material from the Genzia, with Rabbi Andrew talking about Orson Scott Card’s series The Seventh Son and The Memories of Earth.We did have a delightfully digressive conversion in the middle of all this about The Rational, Mystical and Psychedelic in Jewish Thought, which we put into some bonus material as well.
