THE DEFINITIVE RAP: Defying The "Me Generation" Interview with Elliot Resnick, Ph.d

It’s always fascinating to meet true academics with varied interests of the world at large. There is much going on today, and a great deal of it is that this has become a 'Me Generation,' where people don’t care what anyone needs, as long as they are happy. When a brilliant young man chooses to write his dissertation about a politician who is quoted as saying “I would rather make another person happy than do anythingelse,” that gives hope that society has not been lost to the it’s all about me generation. Our guest, Elliot Resnick holds a PhD degree in Jewish History from Yeshiva University. He chose to write a dissertation on Congressman Sol Bloom, and he explained in detail who this fascinatingCongressman was, and what he accomplished for Jews. Elliot also spoke in detail about the most interesting person he has interviewed.   As the editor of Divrei Torah by Rabbi Meir Kahane and his son Rabbi Binyamin Kahane, Elliot discussed the inspiration behind it, and as the former chief editor of The Jewish Press why he is no longer there.   This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
