Standing Up to the "Woke Right" - with The Babylon Bee's Seth Dillon

Need a break from the NYC mayoral race and the left-wing antisemitism of Zohran Mamdani? Let’s dive into the refreshing world of right-wing antisemitism!

See you this Friday at Ask A Jew’s NYC Shabbat Dinner! Tickets Here. No, you don’t need to be Jewish to join!

This week we sat down with Seth Dillon, CEO of the conservative Christian satire website, The Babylon Bee. You may have read his recent essay The Foolishness of “No Enemies to the Right” in The Free Press, in which he said: What the radical right is demanding of conservatives like myself is that we unify with our extremists to “win.” But in what sense are we winning if we’re giving up our principles and tolerating evil in our own ranks? How does that advance our cause? How could it do anything but hurt our cause?

We discuss Seth’s origin story from a lowly Mossad agent to the head of a media empire, why there are people out there pretending to be Christians, and how you should be willing to lose friends to stand up for what you believe in.

Also, we mention the legacy of the NYPD’s Chief Chaplain Rabbi Kass, who passed away last week after close to 60 years of service with the department. You can read Yael’s tribute to him in City Journal.

“In the face of rising anti-Semitism, Rabbi Kass often urged concerned Jewish New Yorkers and officers to be proud of who they are. He wore his NYPD yarmulke proudly and advised others to do the same, even if they were scared.

He never allowed religion to be a barrier in connecting with police. In an overwhelmingly Christian department, Rabbi Kass liked to say that he held the record for most Catholic Masses attended by a rabbi. He even declared that the best bagels and lox he had every year was at the Holy Name Society breakfast. “All of the Catholics sitting around me look longingly at my lox,” he said with a smile in a video commemorating his 50 years of service.”
