Listen "Angela Buchdahl Finds Her Voice for Politics — Just Not Against Zohran Mamdani"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Mael Time Podcast, Daniel Mael examines Rabbi Angela Buchdahl’s speech through the lens of Jewish identity, moral clarity, and the uneasy fusion of politics and religion. The discussion unpacks how American Jewish leaders like Buchdahl navigate political activism, particularly regarding Israeli politics and figures such as Zohran Mamdani, whose rhetoric often blurs the line between criticism and hostility. Mael challenges the conflation of Jewish faith with partisan agendas, warning that silence in the face of anti-Semitism — whether from extremists or political allies — is itself a moral failure. The conversation ultimately calls for a return to authentic Jewish values grounded in tradition rather than political fashion.
