Rabbi Josh Fixler explores what Judaism can teach us about distinguishing truth from falsehood in an age of misinformation, magical thinking, and conspiracy theories. Beginning with magicians, skeptics, and the Torah’s teachings on prophecy and divination, Rabbi Fixler asks: How do we know whom to trust? Drawing on the voices of Micah, Jonah, Rabbi Harold Kushner, and Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, he reflects on the essential Jewish practice of asking critical questions—and striving toward truth.
