Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

Dennis Prager and Julie Hartman explore all aspects of life, in particular the crisis of American education. Julie was a student senior at Harvard who sensed that most of her life she was exposed to one perspective. She found Dennis Prager’s book “Still the Best Hope,” and she realized she actually held many conservative beliefs. She reached out to Dennis and that was the beginning of a new partnership that culminates in their weekly podcast.

Special Treatment

In this edition of Weekend Torah Teaching, Dennis Prager continues his study of Exodus 5, examining what happens when Moses and Aaron confront Pharaoh—and why their first attempt does not go as planned. Dennis explores the significance of the elders’ absence, Moses’ failure to follow God’s instructions precisely, and Pharaoh’s decision to make the Israelites’ already difficult work even harder.

The discussion then turns to one of the Torah’s most striking moments: Moses’ anger toward God. After seeing the suffering of the Israelites worsen, Moses directly confronts God and asks why He has brought evil upon His people. Dennis examines what this reveals about faith, suffering, and the difference between believing that God exists and trusting that God will ultimately do what is right.

Dennis also explores the difficult tension between loving God and loving humanity, arguing that genuine concern for human suffering can itself lead to profound questions about God. Through Moses’ struggle, the Torah presents a deeply human picture of faith—one that allows room for doubt, anger, questions, and the struggle to trust God when circumstances seem to be getting worse.

What if the secret to happiness is expecting life to go wrong? Dennis Prager argues that happiness doesn’t come from avoiding life’s problems—it comes from understanding that problems are inevitable. Life is an obstacle course, filled with potholes, red lights, disappointments, and unexpected setbacks. The key is learning how to navigate them without letting every setback destroy your happiness.

Dennis explains why expecting life to be difficult can actually make you happier, why we shouldn’t take the good days for granted, and why the absence of problems is itself something to appreciate. He also discusses how relationships, family, faith, health, and the people we surround ourselves with can provide lasting sources of happiness—even when life delivers its inevitable blows.

We revisit four memorable conversations between Dennis Prager and Julie Hartman, spanning more than two years and tracing the beginnings of a remarkable friendship and partnership. From Julie’s time as a student at Harvard to her emergence as the “Harvard Heretic,” these conversations capture her intellectual journey, her thoughts on the challenges facing her generation, and the early days of the relationship that would become “Dennis & Julie.”

• May 26, 2021 — Dennis talks with Julie Hartman, then a Harvard student, about her intellectual transformation after discovering Dennis’ books and PragerU. Julie explains why she was hesitant to appear on Dennis’s show, the reaction she received from her Harvard peers, and what it meant to publicly embrace her beliefs.

• June 6, 2021 — Dennis and Julie discuss why so many young Americans are struggling with depression and a sense of purposelessness. Julie reflects on the pressure to achieve, the obsession with résumés and elite colleges, the loss of religion and wisdom, and the realization that when too much goes into a résumé, there may not be much left in the person.

• November 29, 2022 — Dennis welcomes Julie for a discussion of one of his favorite “Ultimate Issues”: Are people basically good? They explore human nature, free will, morality, religious values, and why the belief that people are inherently good can overlook the darker realities of human behavior.

• July 11, 2023 — Dennis and Julie continue their regular conversations as co-hosts of “Dennis & Julie.” Dennis reflects on having a co-host for the first time in his long radio career and the unique friendship and chemistry that developed between them, while they tackle the deeper questions surrounding human nature and morality.
