Welcome to The Pillars: Jerusalem, Athens, and the Western Mind, a podcast that tells the story of the prophets, philosophers, and poets who created the West. In this podcast, Rabbi Dr. Mitchell Rocklin guides listeners through more than 3,000 years of Western history, offering a coherent, civilizational story of how the West came to be—along with a deepened understanding of the challenges it now faces. While many of the texts discussed will be familiar to students of the humanities, Rabbi Rocklin offers a new framework for understanding them—a framework in which the teachings of the Jewish religious tradition play a central role. For, as Rabbi Rocklin explains, Western civilization can only be understood as the product of a transformative and ongoing collision between the great traditions of Jerusalem and Athens—between the religious spirit of the Jews and the philosophical spirit of the Greeks.2024 スピリチュアリティ ユダヤ教 世界

    We the People: The US Constitution and Federalist Papers
    2026/08/12

    The United States Constitution remains a brilliant legal document as significant today as it was in 1789. To help us understand why, Rabbi Rocklin will answer the following questions:

    1. Why did the Founding Fathers prefer the term republic over democracy when framing the Constitution?
    2. Why did the Framers insist on a clause that forbids Congressmen from adopting titles of nobility?
    3. What did James Madison, John Jay, and Alexander Hamilton accomplish with the Federalist Papers?

    Join or Die: The Declaration of Independence and Revolutionary War
    2026/08/05

    The Declaration of Independence was far from unanimous, yet it became the backbone of the Revolutionary War. As we dive into the Declaration and its ripple effects, we'll address the following questions:

    1. Aside from declaring independence, what were the founders looking to accomplish with the Declaration of Independence?
    2. If the English Parliament was largely responsible for the injustices against the colonies, why was the king blamed in the Declaration of Independence?
    3. What finally convinced France to join the American colonists in their stand against the British?
