Hi friends and welcome to the 1840 podcast where each month we explore different topic

balancing modern sensibilities with traditional

sensitivities to give you new approaches to timeless Jewish ideas. I'm your host David Bischepkin

and this month we are exploring intergenerational divergence, the series we do each year before

Passover exploring how parents and children and families cope with

our differences.

Thank you so much to our series sponsor.

Once again, my dearest friends, Danny and Sarlah Terkel.

I am so grateful for your continued friendship and support.

This podcast is part of a larger exploration of those big, juicy, Jewish ideas.

For those who grew up in the 90s and remember all of the

public service announcements not to do drugs, if you do drugs, you're a turkey. I remember that

commercial. There used to be all sorts of public service announcements reminding people, don't use

drugs. Don't fall into peer pressure don't try

it even once or you'll get addicted etc etc all of which are good advice which of course i am not

minimizing however if you grew up and remember that world then you probably also have a feeling

and an inkling that that is not necessarily the best barrier, that is not

necessarily the messaging that actually prevents people from falling into addiction.
