Episode 2: The Problem with Jewish Leadership and the Progressive Left (Charles Jacobs & Lauri B. Regan)

We’re back with another weekly episode, the SECOND episode of our series “Betrayal: The Failures of American Jewish Leadership with Dr. Charles Jacobs”.

In this second installment of Dr. Charles Jacobs podcast, he sits down for a conversation with Lauri B. Regan, the New York chapter president and vice chair of the executive board of the Endowment for Middle East Truth. As well as serving in these esteemed positions, Lauri is a shining beacon of wisdom on the subject of the failures of Jewish leadership.

Together, they discuss how the ideology of the progressive left, fear of being labelled as politically incorrect, and the desire to avoid uncomfortable topics has left Jewish leadership and establishments like the ADL utterly incapacitated in the face of Islamo-marxist antisemitism. Lauri and Charles diagnose the issues and elucidate the landscape of what is to come if better leadership doesn’t emerge.

Note: When this podcast was filmed, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgram, may their memories be a blessing, had just had their lives cruelly taken outside a Jewish museum in D.C. Since that time, the attack in Boulder, Colorado has gravely injured more Jewish people. At the time of posting, the people of Israel are now under attack by the dictatorship of Iran, the IRGC. Clearly, the issues discussed in this podcast could not be more urgent.
