Home truths for secularists

They may not want to hear this, but one religion anchors their most cherished principles

At the Menachem Begin Centre in Jerusalem, I was very pleased to be in discussion about my new book with David Hazony, the writer, editor and Director of the Z3 Institute for Jewish Priorities. Among other things, we discussed how a culture needs to be anchored in a religious tradition to protect principles that are essential to everyone, including secular people; how the human rights culture has helped destroy those principles; and the confusion and rethinking that have been occurring among elements of the liberal world in their shocked reaction to the October 7 atrocities against Israel.
