Summary
Rabbi David Levy (mine and Jake's Rabbi!) joins me to discuss the most important conversations couples should be having before they get married. We discuss what conversation topics couples often avoid, the importance of learning how to fight well, and why you should go to bed angry. We hear what led him to become a Rabbi, what Judaism means to him, and how Jewish beliefs can help us live a more fulfilled life.
