EPISODE 43 | Conspiracy U with Scott Shay

Guest: Scott Shay, author of Conspiracy U, In Good Faith & Getting Our Groove Back; President of Chai Mitzvah, Chairman of the Board & Co-founder of Signature Bank

The academic world is supposed to be a place to open and expand minds, but some professors actively promote conspiracy theories about Israel and the Jewish people that do the exact opposite. Scott Shay has written a book about how this is happening on both the right and left sides of the political spectrum, especially at his alma mater, Northwestern University.
