I’m listening to a 2009 lecture by Dennis Prager — “Why Have Our Universities Gone Wrong?”<\/p>\n
Dennis says: “Did you choose anyone in your life based on what college they went to?”<\/p>\n
“If somebody says to you, and this is particularly true for Jews, ‘I have the best endocrinologist in America’.” <\/p>\n
“If you are a Gentile and you feel you have the best doctor in America, please raise your hand. Not one hand. <\/p>\n
“Jews all have the best. It doesn’t matter where I go. I go to Milwaukee and I hear, ‘The best endocrinologist in America is here.’<\/p>\n
“Maybe that’s why Jews are so healthy. They think they have the best doctors. <\/p>\n
“How do you choose a doctor? Somebody recommended, right? You don’t even care what medical school he went to.<\/p>\n
“Do you care where your pilot went to school?”<\/p>\n
In a 2005 lecture on the Middle East conflict, Dennis says: “You have to acknowledge that Orthodoxy did a terrible job of attracting Jews to Judaism in Israel. It is a failing so grandiose that you could cry. The best chance in Jewish history in 2,000 years and it was blown. You have to ask why.”<\/p>\n
PS. There are a bunch of Dennis Prager lectures available on DennisPrager.com<\/a> that I have not heard yet and I need to hear them to compose a proper biography of the man<\/a> and to continue my scintillating blogging. Can you lend some to me? Please know that your reward will be immense in the world to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m listening to a 2009 lecture by Dennis Prager — “Why Have Our Universities Gone Wrong?” Dennis says: “Did you choose anyone in your life based on what college they went to?” “If somebody says to you, and this is … Continue reading
