Hello there. This is Mark Bauerline with another conversation.

Before we get to it, a word about one of our sponsors.

Located in the foothills of Wyoming's spectacular wind river range,

Wyoming Catholic College, an accredited four-year great books institution,

is built on the ancient Western tradition of the liberal arts and the freedom of the American West.

The college offers its students an immersion in the primary sources of the classical tradition, the grandeur of the mountain wilderness, and the spiritual heritage of the Catholic Church.

Students experience the illumination of imagination and intellect through the

great books and traditional disciplines, literature and philosophy, mathematics and theology,

science and Latin, and an outdoor program second to none. The college celebrated an in-person

graduation with its seniors last year and welcomed its largest freshman class ever this year.

Learn more about the college's

unique space in the world of American higher education at Wyoming Catholic.edu. Two people

join us today. Jeffrey Bloom works in the finance industry and is a longtime student and scholar

of Orthodox Judaism. Rabbi Gil Student is active in the Rabbinical Council of America

and is book editor of Jewish Action Magazine. They've edited a collection of essays that I thought

our listeners would appreciate. It's entitled Strauss, Spinoza, and Sinai. Orthodox Judaism

and modern questions of faith are topic today. Welcome, Mr. Judaism, and modern questions of faith, our topic today.

Welcome, Mr. Bloom, and Rabbi Student.

Thank you so much for having us.

Thank you, Mark. It's such a pleasure to be here.

Good, good. We have both of you on. We usually don't have two guests.

So I'm going to leave it to you two to work out who's going to talk?
