Today’s Episode:

In a less news-bound episode than usual, Dan was joined by Mark Gerson to discuss his new book God Was Right: How Modern Social Science Proves the Torah is True. Mark is a Jewish-American investor and philanthropist. He is also the co-founder of African Mission Healthcare Foundation and United Hatzallah. He and Dan talked about how the Torah can be seen as a self-help guide, answering life’s perennial questions, including how to find the right spouse, how to combat loneliness, how to dress up for success, and why we should embrace resilience and dignity over victimhood and honor culture.

Today’s Episode:

Benjamin Birely, a classical historian and the influencer behind HolyLandSpeaks, joins Dan to discuss why being a Jew in Italy these days is to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. From signs outside businesses announcing that “Zionists are not welcome,” to Jewish academics being rejected from public spaces, to cultural events getting hijacked by the anti-Israel cause, the entire country seems to be consumed by militant anti-Zionism. Should Italian Jew be worried about their future? And what does this tell us about the broader political mood in the West?
