Words That Changed the World: The Meaning of the Ten Commandments

Save

The Ten Commandments are central to Jewish faith and ethics—but they are also something more: the very wellspring of the moral and political ideas that shaped Western civilization. In this series, Rabbi Meir Soloveichik takes these ancient words seriously—as revelation, as philosophy, and as a living guide to the crises and confusions of our own moment. Across five illuminating episodes, he explores how the Decalogue gave the world its understanding of freedom, human dignity, family, and faith, and why these words, spoken at Sinai thousands of years ago, still ring with startling clarity today.
