In today’s episode I have on the show Rabbi Frankfurter, the Editor in Chief of Ami Magazine, one of the leading publications, which is focused primarily on the orthodox Jewish community. We discuss a bit about the current state of our society and how its values have evolved, which in some ways has been a good thing, but in others not so good. We talk about how recent changes in society have influenced people to either grow closer to religion and religious morals while at the same time driving others further away. The importance of dialogue is seemingly uncomprehended today and when you shut down the other voice, the dialogue becomes monologue and you cease to learn because you’re only hearing what you’ve already heard.

“Debate runs in our blood, and to suppress debate, to suppress the other vote is not only something that I find against the United States Constitution, but against my own constitution. What I’m made of is to have debates and if you disagree with me, hey you know what? You may disagree with me, but don’t try to silence me. That’s one thing that drives me crazy is someone that tries to silence the other person.” 23:32
