When Prayer Meets Politics
What does it mean to say “God bless America” — and who are we praying to when we do? In this episode of Thoughts & Prayers, host Jessica Fisher examines how Jewish prayer and American politics intertwine, from the
synagogue’s prayer for the government to benedictions on the national stage. Featuring Elie Weinstock, Annie Lewis, Lauren Holtzblatt,
and Akiva Mattenson, the episode asks how prayer relates to political
power and whether faith can enhance our public life without being consumed by it.
