This podcast explores R. Joseph B. Soloveitchik’s “A Jewish Philosophy of Man,” newly remastered and curated by Mark Smilowitz on the TRADITION website. What is Judaism’s unique vision of the human being—and how does halakha shape it? A timely encounter with enduring thought.

As the rules-based world order erodes, Chaim Strauchler’s recent essay “New/Old American-Jewish Realities” asks what happens when those norms begin to fray, and suggests that antisemitism is not a bug but a feature of unrestrained power. He joins the Podcast to discuss the essay and some of the response it’s been garnering.
