We Need To Talk About Corruption (Part II)

Season 1
Episode 32

In this episode, Rabbi Patrick speaks directly to those who feel hurt, betrayed, or disillusioned by famous Jewish men in the news — whether in politics, philanthropy, or Jewish communal life. The rise of antisemitism online is, in some part, caused by their actions. And we the innocent are paying the price for it.
Drawing from the Prophet Amos, the story of Eli the High Priest, and even Battlestar Galactica, Rabbi Patrick explores a hard truth: corruption, hypocrisy, and moral compromise are not new to the Jewish story, but there is a way out of it.
Note: while this podcast episode is not explicit and does not make mention of the crimes specifically, this podcast may not be appropriate for people who have experienced trauma.
