  • Why Trump’s Deportation of Mahmoud Khalil is Perfectly Legal, with Ilya Shapiro

    Why Trump’s Deportation of Mahmoud Khalil is Perfectly Legal, with Ilya Shapiro
    Mar 12 2025
    Last Saturday, ICE agents detained Mahmoud Khalil, a Syrian-born Palestinian who was one of the leaders behind the year-long Tentifadah in Columbia University. Khalil and his group have repeatedly expressed their support for Hamas and other terrorist organizations, a violation of U.S. immigration law. Ilya Shapiro, senior fellow and director of constitutional studies at the Manhattan Institute, joins Liel to explain why the act is completely legal, and why we shouldn’t fall for the bad faith argument that Khalil’s arrest is a free speech issue.

  • Can Orthodox Judaism Be Reformed? with Rabbi Irving Greenberg

    Can Orthodox Judaism Be Reformed? with Rabbi Irving Greenberg
    Feb 20 2025
    One of American Jewry’s leading theologians and thinkers, Rabbi Irving “Yitz” Greenberg has spent decades engaging—and enraging—orthodoxy by suggesting it was time for religious Jews to examine some of their closest-held beliefs, including on such controversial issues like gay marriage or female members of the clergy. He joins Liel to discuss his new book, The Triumph of Life: A Narrative Theology of Judaism, the role of God during the Holocaust, and why he believes the ancient religion is finally old enough to grow out of some of its ancient hang-ups.
