Why Prince Chose Not to Vote or Celebrate his Birthday April 28, 2016
On stage, Prince was a musical genius, a sex icon. But he was also a low-key Jehovah's Witness who took his faith seriously. So what exactly were Prince's religious beliefs? You probably know that Jehovah's Witnesses go door to door with their Watchtower magazine, but what exactly is their theology? In this interview, we draw back the curtain on this little known religion.

Trouble in the Tribe: The Jewish American Conflict over Israel April 28, 2016
The biggest divide in the Jewish American community isn't over theology or even how you worship. It’s all about where you stand on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In his new book, Trouble in the Tribe: The American Jewish Conflict Over Israel, Dov Waxman documents how American Jews are increasingly divided over the topic of Israel and illustrates some of the real-life consequences.
