As a non-Jewish American who’s become disgusted and fed up with Israel, I learned about Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro while watching both the Candace Owens and Katie Halper shows and I couldn’t have been more impressed by his knowledge and ability to articulate great arguments and explain difficult topics involving Israel, Judaism, and Zionism. After listening to other equally important voices (some Jewish, some ‘gentiles’) who are trying to bring sense and sensibility to the masses and opening their eyes as to what Israel is doing in and to the Middle East, Rabbi Shapiro stands out as one of the few that will provide a comprehensive and accurate grasp of historical and current events involving these three phenomena.

Shapiro, I always knew you to be virulently anti-Israel but now post Oct 7 ~when אידישע בלוט is flowing like water~ your parroting Palestinian propaganda is disgusting, revolting and quietly frankly spewing virulent antisemitism. Which leads me to conclude that your actions are beyond the pale even for Satmar rather you represent Neturei Karta ie Weiss and his cronies that never met a antisemite they didn’t love

Break your mind free of the shackles of Zionist propaganda with Rabbi Shapiro's brilliant podcasts (and book The Empty Wagon)! I did, and it feels wonderful!

Very clear and concise information. As always! A- clear difference between being Jewish and Israeli. B- revelation about the inner working about the Isreal’s propaganda called hasbara. C-Revelation about Israeli themselves explaining why some sects oppose them there by being able to lie about tue true reasons.

Thank you so much for developing this beautiful honest podcast. I’m African-American and grew up in a Jewish community in upstate NY. My love for Jewish people is as deep as my love for America. Jews helped lift my family out of poverty. It pains me to study What Israel is doing in the Middle East under the guise of Zionism. My heart aches for the Palestinians. I love the truth you give. Please give us more.

Rabbi Shapiro is a very learned theologian and Jewish Scholar. His knowledge of the Torah and Talmud is unparalleled and it’s strengthened by his comprehensive study of western philosophy and Jewish theology. He brings all of this to a very powerful critique of Zionism and the “Jewish State” as part of a general message of peace and justice rooted in Orthodox Judaism. Anyone interested in Jewish metaphysics, the distinction between Zionism and Judaism, and the Torah should listen to this podcast.

One of the many lessons of 2020 will be how simple reasoning can so easily be muddied by misguided (at best) leaders and bizarre group think. In 20 years we will wonder how we could have possibly questioned if Covid 19 is really all that deadly even though we all know that millions have been infected and many hundreds of thousands died. No one will believe that so many actually thought that masks and social distancing would not help save lives in the face of an airborne virus that has spread around the world. Thank you Rabbi Shapiro for having the courage to always seek truth and share with the world no matter how unpopular.

great podcast - original, logical, and thought provoking

Very interesting and rarely discussed topics.

Does what it says it’s going to do: challenges preconceptions and misinformation by using facts and reason. Promising start to what will hopefully be a successful series.

Love wrap up.
