May I suggest that people mute themselves when they are not speaking. That will reduce ambient noise. Thanks

I’m surprised by the number of democrats

Hi Rabbi Rick, can you review some of the big myths or old conspiracies that you mentioned? Thanks, Julia

Aside from statistics, what is the common denometer of those who are for Trump and his ideas

You didn't say the word, but you are describing wha is, essentially, a fascist movement led by Trump … so how is it that ANY Jews support this?

Antisemitism has been building steadily since the first Gaza War. This is not a recent problem.

Why is current Orthodox Judaism so conservative? Why don't they embrace tikkun olam, social justice (for all) as a Jewish value?

Please comment on Pres. Obama's influence on reducing bipartisan support for Israel in Congress

Thanks!

I recommend a book called
