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

The Ten Commandments is the most well-known code of law in human history. Yet famous as the Decalogue is, its commandments are often misunderstood—especially in a contemporary Western culture cut off from its scriptural roots.

Over just five episodes, available now for Shavuot, Rabbi Dr. Meir Soloveichik will unpack the moral, spiritual, and cultural significance of these ancient words—two commandments at a time—revealing their timeless wisdom and contemporary relevance. When you sign up, you'll receive the complete audio series immediately—and you'll deepen your understanding of Judaism, the Hebraic moral vision, and the foundations of Western society.

Rabbi Dr. Meir Y. Soloveichik is one of America’s most influential religious leaders. He is a senior fellow and contributor at Tikvah, rabbi of Congregation Shearith Israel in Manhattan—the oldest Jewish congregation in the United States—and director of the Zahava and Moshael Straus Center for Torah and Western Thought at Yeshiva University. Rabbi Soloveichik has lectured internationally to Jewish and non-Jewish audiences on topics relating to faith in America, the Hebraic roots of the American founding, the Hebrew Bible, Jewish theology, the miracle of modern Israel, Jewish-Christian relations, and more. He writes a monthly column in Commentary magazine, and his writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Mosaic, and many other outlets.
