The Ten Commandments Debate: Rabbi Mara Nathan vs. the State of Texas
Watch the full episode here!
In this episode of The Rabbi & the Other Guy, Dr. Matt Schocket and Rabbi Daniel Septimus sit down with Rabbi Mara Nathan, Senior Rabbi at Temple Beth-El in San Antonio. Rabbi Nathan is the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit against the state of Texas challenging a new law that would require public schools to post the Ten Commandments in classrooms.
She discusses why the separation of church and state is vital to protecting both religious freedom and public education, how morality can be taught without religious doctrine, and what inspired her to take up this cause. It’s a powerful conversation about conviction, courage, and the ongoing fight to preserve religious liberty in Texas and beyond.
