Chapter 24: Mask, Costume, True Self (Purim Episode!)

Tov! A Podcast About ”The Good Place” and Jewish Ideas - A podcast by Jon Spira-Savett

We’re publishing this episode out of sequence to link up with Purim, the festival of costumes and the story of Esther! On “The Good Place”, the humans and Janet put on costumes and assume new identities to pass through demon headquarters on their way to the Judge. On the podcast, Ilana Schachter (rabbi), Daniella Risman (hazzan=cantor), and Jon Spira-Savett talk about how costumes relate to, obscure, or help bring out our true selves, and how from the Bible to “The Good Place” 45-year-old men create impossible messes and tell women only they can fix it.
