What I’ve Learned (So Far) About Teshuvah From “The Good Place”, By Jon
from Tov! A Podcast About ”The Good Place” and Jewish Ideas · host Jon Spira-Savett
This episode is Jon Spira-Savett’s attempt to collect my thoughts about how The Good Place illustrates, riffs on, critiques and expands on the Jewish concept of teshuvah (personal change as “returning”), especially as taught in the writings of Rabbi Moses Maimonides. What have I learned so far, and has it affected me in my life? This episode is an exposition in one voice and not a conversation, and for those who prefer just to read it the “script” is linked in the show notes.
