In These Times with Rabbi Ammi Hirsch

28

Every other week, Rabbi Ammi Hirsch hosts intellectually honest conversations unpacking current events through the lens of Jewish wisdom and values. Unbound by politics and untethered by party lines, Ammi and his distinguished guests discuss everything from foreign affairs and antisemitism to politics and pop culture. This show is recorded from New York’s Stephen Wise Free Synagogue, a historic Reform congregation deeply rooted in liberalism, support for Israel and social justice.

    Required listening
    The powerful Ami interview with David Harris should be required listening by every Reform rabbi and בפרט the administration of HUC.

    Remarkable Thought Leader and Conversationalist…
    Through his guests and conversations, Rabbi Hirsch has been warning of the insideous antisemitism coming from the left since his earliest episodes in 2022. His conversations are inspirational, relevant and poignant. And Rabbi Hirsch’s respect and advocacy for Zionism has been consistent, clear and unapologetic. Hopefully it is contagious. I look forward to each new episode dropping.

    A superb podcast
    Rabbi Hirsch is a gifted interviewer and speaker and all of his guests so far are worth hearing. This is an excellent podcast and worth sharing with your friends who care about liberal Judaism in America, social justice, the growth of antisemitism, the State of Israel and the Jewish people. Rabbi Hirsch’s summations after his interviews are eloquent and important.

    Quality
    There are some people who you just want to hear more from…to hear their perspective on elements of the world. For me, Rabbi Hirsch is one of those people. If he doesn’t give a sermon one week I find myself listening to a sermon from the past. So glad he has created this podcast and I look forward to all that’s to come.
