Rabbi Sharon Brous, the Founder and Senior Rabbi at IKAR, a Jewish community in Los Angeles launched to reinvigorate Jewish practice and inspire people of faith to reclaim a moral and prophetic voice. We’ll talk about the spiritual and social challenges and opportunities that come at the start of a new year – especially this one!

Also, Myth America: Historians Take on the Biggest Legends and Lies About Our Past. I’ll talk with co-editor Julian Zelizer about the fallacies that too often dominate our understanding of where we came from and who we are as a nation. I’ll ask him why he feels such urgency to refocus all of us on an objective consensus of historical truth, and how that can help in a time when so many lies continue to swirl around us.
