What if America's political crises aren't failures of policy, but failures of moral memory? Explore the Jewish ideas that shaped America's founding and discover how those same Torah values can clarify today's most divisive issues. From the Hebrew Bible's influence on the American story to the surprising spiritual roots of political affiliation, these pages reveal the forgotten moral framework that created the American republic.
Ancient Torah principles are then applied to modern debates: abortion, race, capitalism, immigration, climate change, gun control, the war on drugs, and more-without slogans, outrage, or partisan spin. It concludes with a hopeful pathway forward, presenting the Seven Laws of Noah as a shared moral language for a diverse nation.
Challenging assumptions on both left and right, this volume insists-with unflinching honesty-that America remember and live by its true values.
"Rabbi Taylor translates the Torah into the language of contemporary political discourse without sacrificing the integrity and authenticity of the sacred message."
Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz
