From the Frontlines: A Conversation with ADL Rabbinic Fellow Rabbi David Wolpe

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast. It is hosted by ADL New York/New Jersey Director Scott Richman and focuses on ADL's efforts to fight antisemitism and all forms of hate. In this battle, the role played by the rabbinic community is critical. With that in mind, ADL has just brought that expertise in house with the announcement of Rabbi David Wolpe as ADL’s inaugural Rabbinic Fellow. Rabbi Wolpe will not only serve as a thought partner and leader for the organization, but also help ADL to better integrate Jewish values and a wide range of Jewish perspectives into its work. Rabbi Wolpe was the guest on this show. He discussed his retirement, this important new role, his views on antisemitism and extremism and his participation with ADL in the historic 60th anniversary of the March on Washington.

This podcast originally aired as a radio show on September 7, 2023 on WVOX 1460 AM. Note that WVOX has now closed its doors after 63 years in business, so this was the last "From the Frontlines" broadcast from WVOX. The show will now go on hiatus as plans are made to bring it back in a different form.
