Why Be Jewish in a Modern World? (Part 2)

About this episode

Dennis Prager continues to explore the Jewish mission and the concept of the 'chosen people' in a modern context.

In this part 2 episode of Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager, Dennis continues to explore the concept of the "chosen people" and the Jewish mission to humanity. He discusses how Jews have historically been preoccupied with survival and the law, which has led to a disconnection from their mission to spread ethical monotheism. Dennis shares personal anecdotes and historical examples, including his own experiences as a young man in the Soviet Union, to illustrate the importance of living a life that reflects one's values. He also touches on the role of Christianity and the relationship between Jews and non-Jews.
