Harvard, God, and Gen Z

Join us on a great discussion about a journey through Harvard and beyond- what is the key to growing and what creates meaninful experiences? 

Join us as we gain some great insights into what are some ingredients that help cultivate an intellectually curious child. Furthermore, we dive into the uncomfortable questions (as usual) about God and morality. 

Join us for an insightful interview with senior Daniel Slaw as he discusses how he views what defines a meaningful life. 

A wide ranging conversation where we cover the delicate balance between giving and taking, moving away from cancel culture, learning to trust one another, allowing our selves to need others, and to the importance of a belief in something beyond. 

In this episode we take a different angle as we meet Harvard senior Ben Rabinowitz who grew up observant and with a strong belief in God. We discuss how he maintained his belief in God throughout college and how this belief has helped him always stay grounded.  He gives us great advice about how to stay connected in any environment through prayer and shares with us what is truly important in life. 

Join us on a fascinating tour of life from a global perspective with Cengiz Cemaloglu as we talk business, borders, and religion.  The first 20 minutes detail Cengiz's fascinating journey to Harvard and the second 20 minutes we delve into moral values. He speaks so eloquently it was hard to shorten any of it- enjoy. 

Not many people find G-d at Harvard, but there are exceptions. Meet one of them.  Join us as we look at G-d from a different angle as Rebecca explains how the Pittsburgh Tree of life massacre was a catalyst for a spiritual journey. 

Meet Harvard senior Matthew Miller- in many way a classic Hebrew school educated American Jew whose Bar Mitzvah was more retirement than initiation- as he discusses how through an open mind and serendipity he has rediscovered Judaism in a much more meaningful way in college. Furthermore, he gives some great advice about how to find your passion and stay motivated. 

Join Boris as he discusses how he became the first person from his community to go to Harvard.  After this short intro, we ask him how he kept his connection to G-d strong in an environment that is often hostile to faith. We side step into some hot button issues of diversity and about what may be going wrong in Gen Z and how to fix it. 

Meet Charlotte, an eclectic thinker originally from Brooklyn, who graduated Harvard in 2019 as she shares her thoughts on moving beyond status seeking to seeking meaning. She also discusses how she resolves the tension between science and religion.  A wide ranging interview, enjoy the conservation! 

Meet Harvard grad David Kaufman.  While on the outside he may seem typical- from Harvard to consulting. On the inside he is anything but as he shares his insights about finding  a balance in a hectic world. 

Today we discuss life with recent Harvard grad, Aaron Miller.  He pushed himself to get to Harvard and succeeded only to find that there may be more important things than ambition in life.  He then discusses the persistent nagging that the search for deeper meaning has on him. This coming from a person who seems to 'have it all': success and a dream job working for the NBA. 

Today we join Harvard grad and current student at Harvard Law school, Aaron Fogelson.  He shares with us his secrets on what it takes to get into Harvard.  Then, he takes us on a journey from nihilism to hedonism, and then theism in this uncommon story about a search for meaning.  He is remarkably deep and thought out as he explains how his thoughts on religion evolved over time.
