For decades, Jewish conservatives have wondered—and despaired—about why Jews are liberals even when liberal ideas seem to undermine Jewish interests and conflict with Jewish values. The time has come to make the positive case for why conservatism is good for the Jews, and why Jewish ideas are essential to the conservative renewal of America. Drawing on history, philosophy, and modern politics, veteran radio host and intellectual entrepreneur Dennis Prager makes the case for a new era of Jewish conservatism.
