What does it mean to serve the American people without shedding religious conviction?
Judge Matthew Solomson is one of the highest-ranking Orthodox Jews in the federal judiciary. In this conversation, he joins Jonathan Silver to reflect on his path to the bench, the meaning of religious identity in public life, and how faith can strengthen—not compromise—our civic institutions.
He also discusses wearing a kippah during his Senate confirmation, leading a delegation of federal judges to Israel after October 7, and the ethical responsibilities of religious citizens in a secular age.
This episode explores the tensions—and possibilities—at the intersection of law, faith, and public service.
