100 Jewish Men: An Evening with Rabbi Nolan Lebovitz
Rabbi Nolan Lebovitz joins us for a conversation on his book, "The Case for Dual Loyalty." The book challenges the oldest taboo in American Jewish life. Rabbi Lebovitz argues that proudly declaring Jewish loyalty forges a new path forward imbued with pride of peoplehood and collective destiny. What he calls "dual loyalty" is not just about supporting Israel - it's about loyalty to Jewish peoplehood as a foundational principle of our identity no less than our loyalty to America.
