Missing the Point? Jews, Mamdani, and the Politics of Panic

Episode Description

When a politician like Zohran Mamdani speaks out against Israel, should the Jewish community sound the alarm—or take a step back? Rabbi Lerner and Rabbi Adlerstein debate whether Mamdani’s ideology is utterly without merit. In a perfect world, how would the Torah want us to deal with the concerns he raises? Does any of that carry over to our imperfect world? The two rabbis go at each other, and ultimately find some things to agree upon.
