- Better Gird Up: “Trump vs. Harvard”
In this episode of the Better Gird Up Podcast, Goldfeder and Terry dive into the growing controversy surrounding Harvard University and its failure to protect its Jewish students amidst rising antisemitism on campus. The discussion centers on how the Trump Administration is now aggressively taking action against Harvard’s leadership for what it calls a moral and legal abdication of duty – going as far as pulling all federal funding and terminating their tax-exempt status. The episode explores the legal and political dimensions of the case, including how federal civil rights laws might apply and the precedent such action could set for other universities across the nation. Listeners are left with the stark message that “everything is on the line”—not just for Harvard, but for the broader debate over free speech, religious discrimination, and the responsibilities of elite academic institutions in today's polarized environment.

About Better Gird Up
From the publisher's feed
A Jewish attorney and his Gentile colleague talk shop about life, the practice of law, and all things both kosher…and not so much. Your hosts are Miles Terry and Mark Goldfeder. One grew up in a…
synagogue and the other a church. One is an ordained Rabbi, the other was an Associate Youth Pastor once, but just finished his MDIV. Both of them “walked away” from the clergy professionally initially to pursue the practice of law and that shared legal profession has taken them right back to the front doors of churches and synagogues – entities they now represent. They talk about the everyday challenges their clients continually face and discuss all things Judeo- Christian-American along the way.
