Show Notes

Chabad impacts every aspect of the Jewish ecosystem. It actively competes in the marketplace of Jewish ideas and identities, and pushes Judaism into the American public square and onto local street corners; it is a force on college campuses; and is leading Jewish conversations on social media.

How is Chabad driving the future of Judaism in America? Mordechai Lightstone (Chabad.org) joins Yehuda Kurtzer for a look into the Chabad mindset in this moment.
