• E4. Future Tense (Part 2)

   In this second episode on Future Tense, Dr. Tanya White moves beyond the book to examine how its themes address the urgent challenge of antisemitism today. She is joined by award-winning author Dara Horn (People Love Dead Jews) and Michal Cotler-Wunsh, Israel’s Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism, in a fiery yet thought-provoking conversation that tackles pressing issues facing the Jewish world. Dara advocates for a Jewish narrative that frames antisemitism as a form of affirmative identity, while Michal aligns with Rabbi Sacks’ forward-looking vision, emphasizing a Judaism defined by more than external opposition. This episode invites listeners to engage with both sides of this critical debate and gain fresh insights from two leading voices in the Jewish community.This episode has been generously sponsored in memory of Anita and Alvin Caplin (Avraham Aaron Hakohen ben Moshe Nisan Hakohen v’Devorah and Chana Perl bat Malkah Zisel v’David) Books and Beyond: The Rabbi Sacks Podcast
