Is Douglas Emhoff a proud Jew? Emhoff, the husband of U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, made a speech in Arizona expressing his love for being Jewish and encouraging others to live openly and without fear. Berel appreciates Emhoff's pride but delves deeper into what it truly means to be Jewish, emphasizing that Judaism goes beyond cultural symbols like bagels or fighting anti-Semitism. He discusses the importance of following God’s commandments (mitzvot) and how these practices form the core of Jewish identity.

Berel also raises concerns about the challenges facing Jewish continuity, such as interfaith marriages, noting that Emhoff’s children with Harris are not considered Jewish according to traditional Jewish law. He shares his own experience of almost marrying outside the faith and the impact it would have had on his Jewish lineage. The speaker encourages Jews to reconnect with their religious roots, suggesting that the essence of Judaism lies in fulfilling God’s commandments, even when they seem illogical. He urges Jews to look beyond modern cultural trends and embrace the spiritual depth of their heritage.
