The Shema Podcast for the Perplexed

In this episode, we delve into what may be the greatest existential threat to the Jewish people today—not external forces like anti-Semitism, but internal challenges stemming from assimilation and the adoption of secular ideologies. We are joined by Daniel Greenfield, a renowned author and thinker, to examine how liberalism has become a substitute religion for many Jews, eclipsing Torah values and undermining Jewish identity. Together, we explore the historical roots of this trend, its expression in modern Jewish movements, and the way forward. With references to key historical moments and practical insights, this episode offers a profound reflection on Jewish continuity, mission, and resilience.
