In his book Conservatism: A Rediscovery, Dr. Yoram Hazony discusses how Anglo-American conservatism became a distinctive alternative to divine-right monarchy, Puritan theocracy, and the liberal revolution — and why this idea is as much or more important today than ever before. As an Orthodox Jew, he makes the case that conservatism is a clear Torah value, and over the course of our talk, he provides Biblical support for his thesis. We also discuss why political conservatism is irrelevant without teshuva. Lastly, the idea of "Nationalism" has negative connotations today — it's a loaded term. He dispels the notion that it's a fascist or racist ideology and highlights the major differences between the Nationalism of Ancient Israel and Hitler's Germany (lehavdil). So, in terms of nationhood affected by wokeness and multiculturalism, what is there left to conserve? Tune in to discover Dr. Hazony's fascinating perspective.
