I hope everyone will tune in to hear this on Sunday. I have been a member of Rabbi Wechsler’s congregation, Or Zarua, for nearly ten years, and have enormous regard for his scholarship and wisdom. And I had the privilege to meet Archbishop Dolan at the board meeting of the Institute for Religion and Public Life last June. The conversation is likely to be extraordinary.
