In this episode, we speak with the Honorable Rabbi Dr. Dov Zakheim, a former very high level government official, involved in many key government programs as well as the CFO for the largest budget in the country, consultant, author and rabbi. In a wide-ranging conversation, we will discuss the state of Modern Orthodoxy and how well we are melding our religious observance with participation in secular society. What do you want to know about the Orthodox community? Each episode includes listener questions and answers. Email us at orthonomics@nishmaresearch.com to let us know what areas of the Orthodox community you’d like us to explore. You ask the questions … we’ll try to come up with answers. Many of the Orthodox community research studies we reference in this podcast are available and downloadable free, at http://nishmaresearch.com/social-research.html.
