  • Insightful podcast asking relevant questions throughout the Jewish world

    Rabbi Daniel provides a much needed insight into the modern Jewish world asking leaders the necessary questions to help Jews understand the landscape beyond the headlines, history between the lines, and providing a great introduction to varying viewpoints throughout the Jewish community. Keep up the great work and I look forward to future episodes with new guests and following up with past guests!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Has Trump Made Things Safer or Worse for Jews? w/ Congressman Reid Ribble
Q: What do you make of AIPAC and its influence in politics?
AIPAC's effectiveness in lobbying and educating both political parties has made it a target for criticism, despite not being one of the largest lobbying groups.
Has Trump Made Things Safer or Worse for Jews? w/ Congressman Reid Ribble
Q: How has Trump's record been vis-a-vis fighting anti-Semitism?
Trump's record is paradoxical; he positions himself as pro-Israel yet panders to right-wing anti-Semites without strongly condemning them.
Has Trump Made Things Safer or Worse for Jews? w/ Congressman Reid Ribble
Q: What are your thoughts on the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act?
The Act would protect Jewish students under Title VI and require investigations into complaints about anti-Semitism. It seeks to clearly define anti-Semitism to address its modern manifestations.
Meet The Christian Who Keeps Jewish Law
Q: Do you view yourself as having a mission to convince other Christians about keeping Jewish law?
I present the information for others to evaluate, but I don't force anyone.
Why I Hold Israel to a Double Standard
Q: Why do you think that it's true that we've kind of within the secular Jewish pluralistic Jewish day schools and youth movements, if I had to identify what are the main events or main moments that come to symbolize Jewish identity, it's the Holocaust and then Israel?
There has been a focus on the Holocaust and Israel as core parts of liberal Jewish education, which I think is a mistake.
