Passover Crossover - Rootless - Why Dual Loyalty is Good for the Jews, with Rabbi Nolan Lebovitz

JL;DR SUMMARY Rabbi Nolan Lebovitz discusses the concept of dual loyalty among American Jews, advocating for a proud embrace of loyalty to both the United States and Israel as complementary rather than conflicting identities.
