Good for America, Good for the Jews? – with Dahlia Lithwick
Description
Democracy promises to guarantee freedom and equality for all, yet Jews seem to be increasingly vulnerable in America today. How should
Jews respond when they feel democracy is not showing up for them?
On this episode of TEXTing IRL, Elana Stein Hain and Slate Senior Editor Dahlia Lithwick turn to Rabbi Moses Feinstein’s 1984 letter on voting and Rabbi Lauren Holtzblatt’s eulogy for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to probe the relationship between Jews and American
democracy, especially in moments when the promise of democracy feels unfulfilled or even threatened.
We are grateful to Micah Philanthropies and to the Walder Charitable Fund for their generous support of TEXTing.
