Episode description

Jewish scholars - both religious and secular - discuss in depth the implications of the pagan prophet Balaam's description of the Jewish people:

From the peaks of rocks I see them,

From the heights I gaze upon them.

This is a people who dwell alone,

Not reckoning themselves one of the nations. (Num. 23:9)

In this season of Pesach, I read the essay written by Rabbi Jonathan Lord Sacks of Blessed Memory, in which he discusses the potential meanings of the People that dwells alone.

Not even 80 years after the Holocaust, evil scumbag Jew Haters are tromping around American college campuses, cheering on the murdering thugs of Palestine. No one seems to care.

Have a listen. The Jewish People have survived and left to the dustbin of history numerous Empires who were laser-focused on our eradication. We're not so worried about Leftwing middle class Marxist twits who learned about Israel from TikTok ten minutes ago.
