S.8 #10 | God in the courtroom

Send us Fan Mail In this powerful episode, I share my firsthand experience serving on jury duty and reflect on the deep intersection between faith, justice, and everyday civic life in America. From courtroom oaths to the Pledge of Allegiance and the phrase “In God We Trust” on U.S. currency, we explore how God remains embedded in public institutions. I discuss a real court case involving stalking and menacing, where the defendant used religious language—invoking God, punishment, and karma—to intimidate the victim. This episode examines the danger of misusing faith to justify harm, and contrasts it with the Torah’s ethical framework, which teaches respect, responsibility, and the sanctity of human life. Discover how living by Torah values can serve as a blueprint for avoiding conflict and building a just, compassionate society. Support the show
