In this eye-opening episode of Kosher and Black, we tackle the alarming rise of political violence in America and how living in ideological silos is tearing our democracy apart. Inspired by the tragic assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, we explore insights from leading political violence experts and draw lessons from history — from the 20th-century assassinations of McKinley, JFK, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., to modern-day threats against public officials.
We discuss:
How social media and algorithm-driven echo chambers fuel fear, misinformation, and radicalization.
The dangers of misperceiving the other side as a “phantom enemy.”
How political leaders and external influences — including foreign funding and agendas — erode democratic values.
Practical steps to restore civic engagement, empathy, and faith in democracy.
A Modern Orthodox perspective on morality, ethical responsibility, and tikkun olam — repairing the world.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about America’s political climate, the future of civic discourse, and how each of us can take action to prevent history from repeating itself.
