In this episode of the Mael Time Podcast, Rabbi Yaakov Menken joins Daniel Mael for a wide-ranging and unflinching conversation about Jewish values, political power, and the limits of unity in an age of rising anti-Semitism. Menken explains the mission of the Coalition for Jewish Values, critiques the ideological drift of legacy Jewish institutions, and argues that communal solidarity built on distortion or silence is not unity at all. The discussion confronts anti-Semitism on both the right and the left, examines the risks of legitimizing extremist voices, and challenges the Jewish community to choose moral clarity over convenience. At a moment when politics increasingly demands loyalty over truth, this conversation insists that Jewish identity cannot survive without honesty, courage, and principled dissent.
