A Different Way of Thinking

I love talking to brilliant people with whom I disagree just enough to make the conversation interesting...

A native Israeli, Liel Leibovitz was born into a prestigious family but grew up idolizing the Motorcycle Bandit, an infamous bank robber whose exploits would bring Liel's comfortable circumstances crashing down around him.

Liel moved to  New York to earn his master's in journalism and his doctorate in communications from Columbia University. His dream? To become a professor — which he did. But the more he interacted with his colleagues, the more he came to realize he was somewhat homeless, ideologically, politically, even religiously...

Today the editor-at-large of Tablet Magazine, Liel is one of the Jewish world's great thinkers, writers and podcasters. And he has a lot to say about politics, Judaism’s life-changing potential, and the problem with American universities in the wake of October 7th.

I hope you'll tune in and join me for this intimate conversation wherever you get your podcasts.
