Real Talk with Marissa Streit | PragerU

What does the future of Israel look like through the eyes of Gen Z? PragerU CEO Marissa Streit sits down with Michael Tal, an IDF demolition specialist who breached Hamas tunnels, and Shabbos Kestenbaum, the Harvard student who sued his university over institutionalized antisemitism. Michael gives a first-hand account of life inside the Hamas tunnels, while Shabbos reveals how Harvard tolerated—and even encouraged—attacks on its Jewish students. Together, they discuss the social-media silence after the peace deal, whether either side truly “won,” and why young people must reclaim a direct, non-politicized relationship with God.

PragerU CEO Marissa Streit sits down with Pastor Jack Hibbs to process the nation’s response to the murder of Charlie Kirk—and what it means for the Church.

And does the Constitution really prohibit displaying the Ten Commandments in schools and government buildings?

David Barton, founder of WallBuilders, is the author of over 20 books on American history and has served on numerous history advisory boards.
