In this edition of Weekend Torah Teaching, Dennis Prager continues his study of Exodus 5, examining what happens when Moses and Aaron confront Pharaoh—and why their first attempt does not go as planned. Dennis explores the significance of the elders’ absence, Moses’ failure to follow God’s instructions precisely, and Pharaoh’s decision to make the Israelites’ already difficult work even harder. The discussion then turns to one of the Torah’s most striking moments: Moses’ anger toward God. After seeing the suffering of the Israelites worsen, Moses directly confronts God and asks why He has brought evil upon His people. Dennis examines what this reveals about faith, suffering, and the difference between believing that God exists and trusting that God will ultimately do what is right. Dennis also explores the difficult tension between loving God and loving humanity, arguing that genuine concern for human suffering can itself lead to profound questions about God. Through Moses’ struggle, the Torah presents a…

What if the secret to happiness is expecting life to go wrong? Dennis Prager argues that happiness doesn’t come from avoiding life’s problems—it comes from understanding that problems are inevitable. Life is an obstacle course, filled with potholes, red lights, disappointments, and unexpected setbacks. The key is learning how to navigate them without letting every setback destroy your happiness. Dennis explains why expecting life to be difficult can actually make you happier, why we shouldn’t take the good days for granted, and why the absence of problems is itself something to appreciate. He also discusses how relationships, family, faith, health, and the people we surround ourselves with can provide lasting sources of happiness—even when life delivers its inevitable blows.

We revisit four memorable conversations between Dennis Prager and Julie Hartman, spanning more than two years and tracing the beginnings of a remarkable friendship and partnership. From Julie’s time as a student at Harvard to her emergence as the “Harvard Heretic,” these conversations capture her intellectual journey, her thoughts on the challenges facing her generation, and the early days of the relationship that would become “Dennis & Julie.” • May 26, 2021 — Dennis talks with Julie Hartman, then a Harvard student, about her intellectual transformation after discovering Dennis’ books and PragerU. Julie explains why she was hesitant to appear on Dennis’s show, the reaction she received from her Harvard peers, and what it meant to publicly embrace her beliefs. • June 6, 2021 — Dennis and Julie discuss why so many young Americans are struggling with depression and a sense of purposelessness. Julie reflects on the pressure to achieve, the obsession with résumés and elite colleges, the loss of religion and…

What makes you feel truly loved by your spouse? Dennis Prager explores a deceptively simple question: What is the one or two things your husband or wife could do that would most assure you of their love? Dennis explains why people often express love in the ways that come naturally to them rather than in the ways their spouse actually understands as love. He takes calls from husbands and wives who reveal what makes them feel valued—from affection and words of affirmation to quality time, acts of service, and, for some men, sex. Dennis also challenges couples to stop expecting their spouses to read their minds and instead be honest about what they need. The key, he argues, is not having a long list of demands, but understanding the few things that communicate love most clearly to the person you married.

What happened to wisdom? Dennis Prager examines how the Baby Boomer generation challenged the traditions, institutions, and inherited wisdom of previous generations—and how that rejection helped shape the world we live in today. Dennis explores the ideas that emerged from the cultural revolution, from “Don’t trust anyone over 30” to the rejection of religion, traditional morality, and long-established ideas about human nature. What happens when each generation assumes it knows better than the generations that came before it? Dennis argues that the problem isn’t a lack of intelligence, but a loss of wisdom—and asks whether we have entered an “age of stupidity” by forgetting what previous generations learned the hard way.

He discusses what it means to remain connected to God when life is painful, whether adopted children should seek out their birth parents, and how family, love, and values shape our lives. And because this is an AMA, no question is too serious—or too silly.

Did God take away Pharaoh’s free will? Dennis Prager explores one of the most challenging passages in Exodus, where God says He will harden Pharaoh’s heart. Does this mean Pharaoh was no longer free to choose, or is there another way to understand the text? Dennis also examines the mysterious encounter between God and Moses, the significance of circumcision in Jewish identity, and why God refers to Israel as His “firstborn.” Through these difficult passages, he considers the relationship between divine purpose, human freedom, and the meaning of faith.

Are you easily offended? Dennis Prager explores how taking things personally can rob us of happiness, damage relationships, and give other people control over our emotions. While genuine mistreatment should not be ignored, Dennis argues that we must learn to distinguish between real insults and perceived slights. Through listener calls, personal examples, and insights from his book Happiness Is a Serious Problem, Dennis examines why some people are constantly offended and how we can develop the strength to respond differently. The key to greater happiness may be learning that, even when we cannot control what happens to us, we can often control how we react.

In this special edition of Timeless Wisdom, Dennis Prager speaks with physicist and author Dr. Gerald Schroeder about the relationship between science, faith, and the existence of God. Schroeder was one of the thinkers cited by renowned atheist philosopher Antony Flew as influencing his decision to believe in God. In this extended conversation, Dennis and Dr. Schroeder explore the staggering complexity of life, the origins of the universe, evolution, consciousness, and whether the discoveries of modern science point toward an intelligent Creator. They also examine difficult questions about suffering, natural disasters, free will, and whether belief in a Creator can lead to belief in the God of the Bible. Because of the depth and importance of the discussion, Dennis invites Dr. Schroeder to remain on the program beyond the usual hour, making this a rare and especially memorable two-hour conversation about some of life’s most fundamental questions.

In this revealing Male-Female Hour, Dennis Prager examines the differences between male and female sexuality and explains why honest communication about sexual desires can be essential to a strong marriage. Dennis discusses why many men are afraid to share their sexual nature with their wives, how misunderstandings can create unnecessary tension, and the difference between accepting someone’s nature and approving every behavior. He also explores the importance of monogamy, openness, and understanding the person you are considering marrying. Through candid listener calls, Dennis hears from couples whose marriages have been affected by these issues, including one woman who says learning about male sexuality transformed her relationship with her husband.

How should we regard animals, and what moral obligations do we have toward them? In this Ultimate Issues Hour, Dennis Prager explores the proper relationship between human beings and animals, examining animal rights, cruelty, hunting, farming, eating meat, and the distinction between human and animal life. Dennis argues that animals should be treated humanely and never subjected to unnecessary suffering, while maintaining that animal life is not equivalent to human life. He discusses biblical teachings concerning the treatment of animals, the purpose of animal sacrifice, bullfighting, factory farming, and the importance of recognizing the seriousness involved in taking an animal’s life. Through listener calls and thoughtful discussion, Dennis considers whether animals can be morally accountable, why cruelty to animals may reflect broader moral problems, and how modern society’s emotional attachment to animals can blur important distinctions.

Dennis Prager answers a wide range of listener questions about religion, marriage, success, education, morality, and the challenges of thinking clearly in a confusing world. Dennis explains why intelligence alone does not guarantee success, emphasizing the importance of discipline, maturity, character, trustworthiness, and hard work. He also discusses how to develop clearer thinking by challenging your own assumptions, considering opposing viewpoints, and asking what is true and what works. The conversation explores the role of faith in marriage, the importance of character over grades, the pursuit of meaningful work, and the enduring lessons of the Holocaust.

Dennis Prager examines Exodus 3 and 4, focusing on Moses’ encounter with God at the burning bush and his repeated reluctance to accept the mission of leading the Israelites out of Egypt. Why did Moses question his own abilities, and why did God choose him despite his lack of confidence and speaking ability? Dennis explores the meaning of God’s name, “I Am Who I Am,” the nature of leadership, and the importance of carrying out a moral mission even when the task seems overwhelming. The discussion also considers the Torah’s teachings on freedom, human responsibility, divine knowledge, and the dangers of viewing people only as victims of circumstance. Through Moses’ story, Dennis highlights enduring lessons about faith, courage, character, and moral choice.

What happens when two people fall in love, marry, and then discover they no longer share the same religious beliefs? Dennis Prager explores the challenges couples face when one spouse is religious and the other is not, when they practice different faiths, or when one partner’s beliefs change over time. Listeners share their experiences with religious differences in marriage, including couples navigating Christianity and Judaism, varying levels of observance, and the difficult questions that arise when raising children. Dennis discusses the importance of mutual respect, shared values, and thinking through religious differences before marriage. But what happens when one spouse changes the rules of the relationship by becoming more religious, less religious, or converting to another faith? Dennis explains why these changes can profoundly affect a marriage and offers advice for couples trying to find a way forward. Follow on Apple Podcasts:…

Are human beings truly significant, or are we merely insignificant accidents in an enormous universe? Dennis Prager examines the provocative claim that humanity is little more than “a bit of pollution” in the cosmos. Dennis explores how atheism, science, and the vast unknown universe shape our understanding of human worth. He contrasts the idea that life is a cosmic accident with the Judeo-Christian belief that every person is created in God’s image and possesses inherent value. Can something be rare without being valuable? Does our existence have meaning if the universe could continue without us? Dennis and his callers wrestle with these questions and examine what makes human life matter.

In this Weekend Torah Teaching, Dennis Prager continues his study of Moses and the burning bush, exploring what makes Moses such a remarkable choice to lead the Jewish people out of Egypt. When God calls Moses to confront Pharaoh, Moses does not respond with confidence or ambition. Instead, he asks, “Who am I?” Dennis explains why Moses's reluctance and humility are among the very qualities that make him worthy of leadership. Dennis then examines Moses's second question: “Who are You?” Why does Moses need to know God's name? Dennis explores the profound meaning behind God's answer, “I am what I am,” and what it reveals about the nature of God and humanity's ability to understand Him. But Dennis believes there is an even deeper lesson hidden in God's response to Moses. How can Moses know that God is truly with him? Dennis argues that, just as Moses would only know God's hand was guiding him after successfully completing his mission, we often recognize God's role in our own lives only in retrospect. What does…

In this episode of Timeless Wisdom, Dennis Prager takes on a deceptively simple question: Can you act happy even when you don't feel happy? Dennis argues that happiness is not simply a feeling that happens to us, but something we can actively work toward by changing the way we behave. Dennis hears from callers who have faced serious hardship, including illness, disability, depression, and difficult circumstances. Their stories reinforce his belief that we often have more influence over our happiness than we realize. Dennis explains why acting with a cheerful disposition can change not only how others respond to us, but how we feel ourselves. But is “acting happy” dishonest or simply wise? Dennis makes the case that we already behave differently from how we feel in many areas of life, and happiness is no different. What if the fastest way to feel happier isn't to wait for your mood to change, but to change your behavior first? Follow on Apple Podcasts:…

In this thought provoking episode of Timeless Wisdom, Dennis Prager sits down with Nancy Kalish, co author of The Case Against Homework, to challenge one of the most accepted assumptions in modern education: that more homework means more learning. Kalish explains how excessive homework can leave children overwhelmed, burned out, and even cause them to lose their love of learning. Dennis and Kalish discuss what children are giving up when homework takes over their evenings, including family dinners, physical activity, hobbies, reading for pleasure, and time simply being kids. Dennis also shares his own experience of doing very little homework in high school and argues that there is far more to a child's education than what happens in a classroom. But what if the homework meant to help your child succeed is actually doing the opposite? Dennis and Kalish debate parents, teachers, and callers who disagree, explore whether homework really improves academic performance, and ask a bigger question: Are we…

In this episode of Timeless Wisdom, Dennis Prager tackles one of the most difficult subjects in relationships: the different battles men and women face in controlling their natural tendencies. Dennis argues that men must learn to control aggression and sexuality, while women face a different challenge in learning to keep emotions from overwhelming reason and damaging their relationships. Dennis takes calls from listeners who share their experiences with marriage, parenting, and learning to manage emotions. He explains why parents should teach their daughters rational behavior just as they would their sons, why acknowledging emotions does not mean surrendering to them, and how husbands and wives can help each other overcome their weaknesses. But what happens when emotions begin to take control of a marriage? Dennis explores why some husbands shut down, why wives may struggle to recognize when emotion has replaced reason, and whether men and women can learn to better understand and complement each other. His…

In this thought provoking episode of Timeless Wisdom, Dennis Prager challenges the common phrase, “God made me this way.” He examines what it means to believe that God determines the way we are born and whether that belief should shape how we respond to our natural tendencies, abilities, and limitations. Dennis explores human nature, free will, morality, and personal responsibility, discussing everything from disabilities to destructive tendencies and the idea that some people may be born with stronger inclinations toward good or evil. He argues that what we are given does not determine how we must live. But if God did not necessarily make us the way we are, what does He actually expect from us? Dennis offers a provocative answer that shifts the entire question from “What did God make me?” to “What does God want me to do?” Follow on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/timeless-wisdom-with-dennis-prager/id1517302239 Follow us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4SZEYeH4tuLr2FvG4ok1rl…

Dennis discusses why Jewish evangelism largely disappeared after centuries of persecution and isolation, the relationship between Judaism and Christianity, and his vision for a Jewish Christian alliance. He also has a touching conversation with a young Christian school student who recites the Shema in Hebrew. The conversation turns to parenting as Dennis advises a father struggling with his son's school performance. He discusses grades, discipline, school choice, reading, and why children should not be defined solely by their academic achievements.

Not what do you want to do for a living, but what kind of person do you want to become? Drawing from his own desire to be an “easy” father and father-in-law, Dennis explores the importance of consciously choosing who we want to be. He considers happiness, faith, goodness, wisdom, courage, marriage, and family, arguing that becoming the person we want to be requires more than simply wishing for it. In this thoughtful Rosh Hashanah reflection, Dennis challenges us to look beyond careers, success, wealth, and fame and consider what truly matters: Do you want to be a good person? A wise person? A happy person? And are you willing to work at becoming that person? Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising…

In a world where the concept of authority is increasingly being undermined, a crucial question arises: should children fear their parents? This episode of the Ultimate Issues Hour explores the importance of a healthy dose of fear in the parent-child relationship, and how its absence can lead to a society where parents fear their kids, and teachers fear their students. Dennis delves into the biblical notion of fearing one's parents, and how it's essential for children to understand that their parents are in charge. He shares personal anecdotes and listener calls to illustrate the point that a healthy fear of consequences is necessary for children to learn and grow. The discussion also touches on the idea that a lack of fear can lead to a sense of entitlement and a disregard for authority.

In this thought-provoking episode of our Weekend Torah Teaching, Dennis Prager delves into the complexities of faith, leadership, and the human condition. He explores the story of Moses, a man who was chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt, and draws parallels between Moses' experiences and the challenges faced by modern-day leaders. Dennis Prager examines the character of Moses, highlighting his unique qualities that made him an effective leader. He notes that Moses didn't grow up as a Jew, but rather as an Egyptian, and that this experience shaped his perspective and allowed him to connect with people from different backgrounds. This, in turn, enabled him to lead the Israelites with empathy and understanding. Prager also discusses the importance of Moses' time in the wilderness, where he spent time with his family and developed a deep sense of spirituality.

Dennis Prager's latest episode of Timeless Wisdom is a thought-provoking exploration of the biggest obstacle to happiness, aside from human nature itself. Hw delves into the concept of images, which are the mental pictures we have of our ideal lives, and how they often lead to unhappiness when reality doesn't match up. He shares personal anecdotes and examples from his own life and those of his guests, illustrating the importance of reevaluating and reconstructing our images when they no longer serve us. In this episode, Dennis discusses how images are culturally induced and can be very powerful, making it difficult to let go of them, even when reality doesn't align with our expectations. He emphasizes the need to mourn the loss of an image and create new ones, rather than getting stuck in a state of unhappiness. He also touches on the idea that there are many ways to lead a happy life, and that it's not just about achieving a specific image, but about finding fulfillment in the present moment. Follow on…
