Understanding the New America

In These Times with Rabbi Ammi Hirsch: Bret Stephens

A few weeks ago, Bret Stephens joined me live for a special in-person podcast recording. One of The New York Times's most prolific columnists, writing about foreign policy, domestic politics and cultural affairs, Bret is also the editor-in-chief of SAPIR Journal, the former editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post, and a winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary for his work at The Wall Street Journal.

I asked Bret to help us take the temperature — of the White House's attitudes toward Israel, the major political currents in America that seem to be leaving Jews behind, and a new national ideology that values identity and even victimhood over character and achievement...

Today, you can hear our conversation. And some of Bret's answers may surprise you — as they surprised me...

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