The Republic of Moses

by The Simchat Torah Challenge

#100 Religion
new today

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.
