Trump’s Inauguration and the Torah’s View of Respect for Royalty
Rabbi Daniel Glatstein
Explore how major world events — like the inauguration of a U.S. president, are spiritually rooted in the weekly parsha. Focusing on the concept of kavod malchut (honoring kings/leadership), it illustrates how world leaders reflect, in a limited way, the honor of God’s Kingship. Through historical examples and the 2017 Trump inauguration, the class illustrates how the weekly Torah portion can illuminate the events unfolding before our eyes.
