Episode description

It's America's Independence Day, and we want to know how we should feel about that.  Are we proud to be Americans?  What does it mean to be patriotic?  Do we have a unique perspective on this as Jews?  How might other groups feel differently?  Rivky calls in from Israel for this international July 4th edition of Talking Tachlis.
