In this episode, I talk to Yair Shahak about his educational philosophy. This discussion includes how he's improving Hebrew language education in his school, how he coaches students who compete in the Chidon HaTanakh (international bible contest), and how he teaches himself new languages.

When School is Optimized for One Goal - Producing Torah Giants
In this episode, I speak to Sam Katz, who grew up Hasidic and then left the religion and became an immunologist. An implicit theme in this wide-ranging conversation is the question of who is the most important constituent to a school - God, parents, or kids? And would schools change if they framed who they were serving differently.
I referenced the "Great People Theory" of history, which believes that individual heroes move history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_man_theory
