Summary

Bridget sits down with comedian & musician Ami Kozak for a conversation about how he uses platforms to address what’s going on as a modern Orthodox Jew, seeing the frightening consequences of bad ideas and viewing everything through oppressor/oppressee lenses, how all the early Nazi propaganda was rooted in compassion, how there’s an anti-human sentiment that has infected the left, the distinction between ignorance, lack of awareness, and hate, why the state of Israel's existence is a great example of shedding the victim mentality, trying to move the needle in a constructive direction, and why conversations in good faith are trying to arrive at a more refined understanding of the truth. They also cover the difference between our opponents and our enemies, the irony of having to fight for peace, trying to see what someone is saying and their motivations behind it from a good faith perspective, why comedy allows a window into constructive conversations, and the key to doing a good impression of someone.
