Who is Dennis Prager? And why does so many people love him?

As the producer of the Dennis Prager radio show and the co-founder and executive director of Prager

University, I have given this second question a lot of thought. Here is my answer.

Luck, unadulterated. Good fortune. Or it could be this. Through his radio show, his writing and

now Prager you, he changes the way you live for the better. He makes you a better person,

a better father, a better son, a better mother, a better daughter. Name another public figure.

Who does that? So let's return to the first question. Who is Dennis Prager? Born in Brooklyn,

New York on August 2nd, 1948, he is the second son of Maxson Hildeprager, to worldly Orthodox Jews.

Max, a World War II vet, was an accountant in Hildeprager's home administrator.

Both were movie star-handsome. In fact, if the stars had been differently aligned, Hildepra

could have been an actress. She had the looks and the personality. Speaking of stars,

Dennis' sign is Leo, which makes you want to believe in astrology. It's one of those little

ironies that Dennis barely spoke a word until he was almost four, but of course, once he started,

he never stopped. He didn't like school. To keep himself from being bored, he learned to spell,

backwards. He was a class clown. He was sent to the principal's office so often,

the secretary named a chair after him. He did the minimum amount of homework. In his case,

this meant zero. In a class of 110 high school students, he graduated number 82.

But he was always scrupulously ethical and honest. Cheating was rampant at religious school he

attended. He mounted a campaign against it. You'd think everyone would hate him for that,

but they didn't. He was too charming, too charismatic, too principled. No one could. No one

can remain mad at Dennis for long. When he was a sophomore, Max and Hildep made a bold decision.

The traditional parenting model clearly wasn't working, so they offered their second son a deal.
