I recently recorded a conversation with John Anderson, the former Leader of Australia’s National Party and Deputy Prime Minister. Since stepping down from involvement in Australian politics in 2005 he has conducted many such conversations, as you can see from his website here.
This was the third time I have sat down with him for such a discussion, and it was once again a pleasure to speak with someone who is so decent, grounded and thoughtful. Our conversation was also rather long! We discussed the coronation of King Charles III and the future of the British monarchy, the cultural problems in the UK, leadership, rationality and the relationship of the west with the State of Israel.

My next speaking engagement will be in Los Angeles on Shabbat June 10, when I will be the guest speaker at the YINBH Beverly Hills Synagogue (Young Israel of North Beverly Hills). For details, please contact: office@yinbh.org .
