Join Rav Nataf as he discusses our love of short cuts and how Jewish history and texts warn us about their inefficacy. Also, why was Rav Kook so enthusiastic about evolution? And also, an important correction to one of the Rabbi's\xa0first published essays, because our long term is often really just the short term.
