Rabbi Genack & Senator Lieberman on “With Liberty and Justice”

Enjoy a fascinating interview of Senator Joe Lieberman by Rabbi Menachem Genack about Senator Lieberman’s book, With Liberty and Justice. The book discusses the holidays of Pesach and Shavuot and the period of Sefirat Ha’omer linking the two festivals. Arguing that the redemption and freedom of Pesach remain incomplete without the revelation of Torah and mitzvot on Shavuot, the book examines the concepts of liberty and law, drawing on Torah, rabbinic literature, U.S. politics and modern legal theory.
