Wine with Adam

In a conversation with Adam Scott Bellos on this week’s “Wine with Adam,” Executive Director of UN Watch Hillen Neuer explains how dictatorships and murderous regimes regularly band together to approve UN resolutions that can then enjoy full international legitimacy.

“We're fighting for the United Nations to live up to its founding principles,” Neuer says, while he and Bellos enjoy a glass of Bravdo Merlot.

Is “Judaism” a Jewish concept?

In this week’s episode of Wine With Adam, Adam Scott Bellos talks with Professor David Graizbord, associate director of Judaic Studies at University of Arizona. They discuss the modern-day U.S. Jewish life and how American Jews have internalized the non-Jewish conception of religion.

“American Jews … have internalized that they are Christians without Jesus,” the professor said. Judaism, he added has become about bagels, davening and Seinfeld.
