Can democracy—in America or anywhere else around the world—be fixed? A very old book offers some surprisingly timely, and deeply hopeful, advice, reminding us that democracy is difficult, maddening, and absolutely sacred work. In this show, brought to you by the Simchat Torah Challenge, religious leaders, scholars, and thinkers will explain why Deuteronomy is the book we all absolutely need to read right now, and why Moses may very well hold the answers to some of the most vexing questions haunting us these days.The Simchat Torah Challenge 2026 スピリチュアリティ 政治・政府 政治学

    Episode Five: The Song of Moses, with Peter Himmelman
    2026/08/13
    One thing that makes the book of Deuteronomy so remarkable is its ability to seamlessly blend together sweeping speeches about morality and meaning with a host of seemingly mundane laws. And that, argues our guest this week, the writer and musician Peter Himmelman, is why we still keep coming back to it, seeking a way to balance out the sublime and the humdrum in our own lives. Moses himself shows us the way forward, Himmelman argues, by instructing us not to see or touch but to listen, an admission that music and sound possess the capacity to unlock our greatest spiritual mysteries.

    Episode Four: Gratitude, not Attitude, with Rabbi David Lau

    Every day, we lose hundreds of Americans to what experts are calling “deaths of despair,” which include suicide, opioid addiction, alcohol abuse, and other self-destructive measures. Why would so many people, living in the most prosperous nation in human history, lose all hope in the future? Our guest this week, Rabbi David Lau, the former Chief Rabbi of Israel, joins us to deliver surprising insight on this question: Moses, he argues, saw it all coming, and left behind a clear prescription on how to reject despair and live a life of joy and gratitude instead.

    How do you raise people to be resilient, responsible, and hopeful? The question, as our guest this week, the author and teacher Mijal Bitton explains, is an urgent one for leaders and parents alike. And in his final speech, Moses gives us all a blueprint to raise what Bitton calls “the people of eternity,” willful folks who see themselves neither as perennial victims nor as bullies but as mindful citizens who are able to learn from the past failures and believe in their future triumphs. Dr. Mijal Bitton isScholar in Residence at the Maimonides Fund and Rosh Kehilla at the Downtown Minyan.
