Any additional comments?

Highly recommend. As a christian, I found his view of where morality comes from and how he combines it with reason very insightful. Highly recommend for anyone religious follower willing to add greater depth of their understanding of where morality comes from.

Always fascinating to listen to

Thoughtful, informed, and universal. I enjoyed his perspective and the degree to which he made his speech accessible for all audiences while discussing the relationship of the Jewish people with God. I'm a practicing Catholic and enjoyed this very much.

One of the best lectures in Judaism

Dennis Prager distills Judaism into two parts, being good, and being holy. While making a case for each, he also shows how these two traits are essential to Judaism, while being overlooked by many who focus more on the traditional aspects, i.e. halacha. Great lecture for someone who has never been exposed to Judaism's teaching, as well as for someone with a more traditional Jewish education.

Fabulous

He opens my eyes and transmits wisdom. I became a better man listening to him. Wish my father taught me this years ago but he didn’t and its never too late to learn.
