Rabbi Didy and Ruthie Schmidt, Hamilton College class of 2020, discuss all things Jewish. Thanks to Ruthie's Jewish day school background in Philadelphia, PA, they discuss some of the questions she's had since childhood, like, how could G-d "harden Pharaoh's  heart" and then punish him for sinning? Also discussed is how important community is to Ruthie and why she got involved as a student leader while in college.
