In a world where political noise drowns out deeper questions, Rabbi Simon Jacobson invites us to step back and ask: What is the real purpose of government — and how does it shape our spiritual lives?

Join hosts David Cohen and Levi Goldstein as they unpack Rabbi Jacobson’s timeless class on the moral foundations of leadership, freedom, and faith. From the parable of The Emperor’s New Clothes to America’s founding ideals — “In God We Trust” and “E pluribus unum” — this episode explores how a nation can uphold both individual liberty and divine purpose.

Discover the seven universal principles that form the basis of any moral society and how they apply to our lives today. In a time of division, this conversation offers clarity, humility, and hope — reminding us that true leadership begins within.
