Rabbi Daniel Levine
Hey, I’m Rabbi Daniel Levine — I teach Jewish history at UC Irvine, am the Senior Jewish Educator for Orange County Hillel, and host deep, unfiltered conversations about everything from Zionism to antisemitism, campus culture, and the big questions facing the Jewish world today.
On this channel, you’ll find thought-provoking discussions with scholars, activists, and people on the ground — tackling the tough stuff most shy away from.
These are the video versions of my Fifth Question podcast, also available wherever you get your podcasts.
Stick around, subscribe, and be part of the conversation.
