My Politics Made Me a Better Jew: A Conversation with Josh Hammer

49:36 Min. Listen

June 26, 2024

Pesach and Doug sit down with Josh Hammer, Senior Editor at Large at Newsweek and host of the Josh Hammer Show to discuss his faith and journey. As the conversation takes shape Josh explains that it was a trip to Israel and his politics that ultimately lead him to be more religiously observant after being raised in a Reform Jewish home. His unique journey towards a deeper faith in God has affected his thinking on everything from parenting to education to separation of church and state, and more. You won’t want to miss this fascinating discussion where – perhaps atypically – political beliefs led to faith rather than the other way around.
