“Psychedelics and Spirituality in Light of the Religious Leaders Study,” a panel discussion at @GTUBerkeley w/ @michaelpollan, @zackamenetz, @sealefeldman, Bia Labate, and Michael Silver. In collab w/ @SciPsychedelics & @ucbreligion events.gtu.edu/event/gtu.even…
In this episode of The Contemplative Science Podcast, the wonderful philosopher of cognition Mark Miller (@PredictiveLife) and I discuss Jewish spirituality. We talk about "child mind" in Hasidism, dynamics btw psychedelics and tradition, and much more. youtube.com/watch?v=4I4_1K…
Had a rich conversation with Jane C. Hu for the UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics (@SciPsychedelics) about Hasidism. Here is her distillation of the interview. open.substack.com/pub/themicrodo…
I'm looking forward to this panel this week on the new book that I did with Elisha Ancselovits and Sergey Dolgopolski, on Friday morning at UC-Berkeley, with all three of the editors and 3 all-star respondents: jewishstudies.berkeley.edu/event/book-pan…
New article: "Child Mind in Hasidic Spirituality." Classical Jewish texts tend to portray young kids as not-yet-adults. There are expressions of excitement for them to grow up and perform actions of Torah study, marriage, and righteous deeds, but one is academia.edu/110219703/Sam_…
The article itself, "Gender in Martin Buber's Hasidic Tales," is now out. Those with access through academic libraries can find it at academic.oup.com/leobaeck/advan… If you don't have access, DM me and I'll be glad to share. A brief thread about the piece:

CJS alum magic going on over here 👀
The midrashic interpretation of the commandment to “love God בכל לבבך—with all your hearrt”—as an invitation to love with both your “good side” and your “naughty side” is an extraordinary incantation for shadow work
How am I only now discovering this!? Charlotte Fonrobert’s MA thesis (GTU, 1989) on “Attitudes towards Women and Sexuality in Early Hasidism.” Committee: David Biale, Daniel Matt, Clare Fischer.
Tomorrow I start new role as Director of the Center for Jewish Studies at Berkeley. Excited and honored by the opportunity. Feel privileged to work with colleagues, staff, & students at Berkeley, & look forward to helping lead us at an exciting time for CJS. @UCJewishStudies
Still marinating on this "Judaism and Psychedelics" panel with @tirzahfire & @margolinmadison at @psychedelicscience. The conference as a whole was...everything. Highs and lows, the revelatory and the dystopian. (Clearly we're giving a shoutout to @zackamenetz in this photo).
And if you’re more of a podcast head, there’s an episode of this event on the Harvard Divinity School podcast. Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/2eVwtq… Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/har…

If you missed the Harvard Divinity School's program on psychedelics and Jewish theology with @samshonkoff, Melila Hellner-Eshed, and @jaymichaelson, the video was just released. Check it out! youtube.com/watch?v=TQPTb5…

Nothing to see here, just Naomi Seidman, David Biale, and Sam Shonkoff engaging in German-Jewish cosplay for an event last week about Rosenzweig, Scholem, and Buber.
