Abraham and Sarah: How Would They Vote Today?
Renowned lecturer Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Jacobson explores the timeless relevance of Abraham and Sarah through the lens of modern challenges, including politics, violence, and artificial intelligence. In a compelling lecture on Torah portion Lech Lecha, he questions the tendency to remain neutral or disengaged from public turmoil. The discussion bridges ancient history with contemporary dilemmas, asking whether spiritual purity justifies standing idly by while society faces crises. Rabbi Jacobson emphasizes that true faith demands personal responsibility and active intervention rather than passive resignation.
