Idol Worship in the 21st Century (S1, E22)

Judaism originated when Abraham challenged the practice of idolatry, advocating for the belief in a single God. This principle has been a fundamental aspect of the religion since its beginning, as evidenced by the Ten Commandments, which emphasize the worship of one God. In modern times, idolatry is still a prevalent practice among billions around the world, but it's debatable whether this is the same type of idolatry mentioned in the Torah. Rabbi Cohen and I engage in discussions about the nature of idol worship in the 21st Century. While religions such as Hinduism incorporate physical idols, our conversation explores the contemporary manifestations of idol worship, which differ significantly from traditional notions like those associated with Hindu deities. We invite you to listen to our discussion and share your perspectives.
