The Quest for Peace: Respect and Understanding
EPISODE #39
In this episode, I talk to Rabbi Poupko about the connection between religion and wellbeing, as well as the dangers of religious intolerance and the freedom religious people have in the United States.
As an orthodox Jewish, Rabbi Poupko has encountered people in the United States who were clearly dedicated Christians. Each and every encounter reflected a high level of mutual respect and understanding.
Historically speaking, the United States has been the first country in history to not only successfully create a full-fledged secular democracy, but to be the first one to allow people with radically different religious beliefs to live side by side in peace. – writes Rabbi Poupko
