Way back in Season One (episode 28 – really worth listening to!) famous lecturer and New York Times best-selling author, Rabbi Joseph Telushkin came on the show to explain "moral imagination." When the opportunity arose, I sat him down to get another vital installment concerning what should be a critical component of our character.
Our sagacious guest discusses a widow marrying a second husband and if this entails betrayal to her former spouse or their children? Rabbi Telushkin analyzes the dying wish of the famous Jewish ethicist Rabbi Yisrael Salanter, and how people should prepare for their own demise. We are then taken to the Jewish community of New York City in 1895, fearful of the backlash from the visit of a prominent antisemite, and how the clever police commissioner, Teddy Roosevelt came to the rescue. The episode concludes with the moving portrayal of (remarkably unknown) Holocaust hero, Roddy Edmonds, and how his story was posthumously revealed.
