Please join us to watch these carefully selected excerpts from historical speeches on contemporary discussions about democracy and social justice. We hope this episode inspires you and clarifies the challenges we face in America and in democracies around the globe.

Albert Einstein, renowned for his groundbreaking scientific contributions, was also a passionate advocate for civil rights and humanitarianism. He reminds us of the moral responsibility that accompanies living in a democracy.

Rabbi Joachim Prinz, a prominent Jewish leader and civil rights activist, delivered compelling addresses that emphasized the necessity of standing up against injustice. His notable speech at the 1963 March on Washington, where he spoke before Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., serves as a powerful call to action and highlights the integral role of faith and moral conviction in the struggle for democracy.

Steven Spielberg, a legendary filmmaker, utilizes his platform to address complex social issues and human rights. His explanation of fascism precisely clarifies the dangers of an environment where hate is being normalized.

In light of the rising antisemitism in America and worldwide, we are reminded of the need to protect all democracies. Thank you for joining us!
