The Moynihan Report

David Wolpe, the Max Webb Emeritus Rabbi of Sinai Temple and renowned author, delves into several provocative topics. He shares insights on the alarming rise of anti-Semitism at Harvard and the challenges of addressing it within academia. Wolpe also reflects on the ethical dilemmas tied to the conflict in Gaza, balancing Jewish identity and suffering. Further, he explores the coexistence of faith and doubt in modern society, and unpacks the complexities of American support for Israel amidst evolving political landscapes.

Nico Perrino, from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, Lee Rowland of the National Coalition Against Censorship, New York Post's David Kaufman, and Manhattan Institute's Charles Fain Lehman engage in a lively discussion about free speech under the Trump administration. They tackle complex topics such as the balance between civil liberties and community safety, the impact of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives on free expression, and the legal challenges surrounding speech rights for immigrants. The conversation is both illuminating and entertaining!
